ABC Fawns Not 'A Big Progressive' Harris, Oprah In DNC Recap
The cast of Saturday’s edition of ABC’s Good Morning America had nothing but glowing reviews for the recently concluded Democratic National Convention. They falsely claimed that having Republicans address the convention was rare, hyped Oprah Winfrey as an independent, asserted Kamala Harris is “not a big progressive,” and claimed GOP criticisms that Democrats are light on policy are…

PBS Hails DNC's 'Patriotism' Versus RNC's 'Weighted Blanket'
Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks recapped the Democratic National Convention on Friday’s PBS News Hour by contrasting its “jubilation” and “patriotism” with the “hate” that came out of the RNC’s “weighted blanket.”
Silly PBS: Harris Makes Dems ‘Feel Seen,’ ‘Trump Derangement’ Not Real
PBS opened its fourth and final night of coverage from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago with reporting from the PBS News Hour, with congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins, reporting from D.C. a segment on the Republican’s “counterprogramming” of the convention. She proceeded to defensively explain Trump rhetoric to her viewers as if they were toddlers. Once the actual…
NewsBusters Podcast: Maddow, Tapper, & Colbert Reach Convention Climax
The end of a Democrat convention really draws out proclamations of Historic Possibilities, and Rachel Maddow, Jake Tapper, and Stephen Colbert stood out in the gushfest. It's quite a contrast with how all the anchors summarized Donald Trump's acceptance speech.
CBS Swoons Kamala’s DNC Speech Was ‘Feat of Political Athleticism’
Despite co-host, Obama family friend, and Kamala Harris donor Gayle King getting an early start on the weekend, Friday’s CBS Mornings still had plenty of partisan lunacy reacting to the final night of the Democratic National Convention and describing Kamala Harris’s speech that “echo[ed] Obama” and “[brought] down the house” with “[t]he sound of history” and “a feat of political…
Politico Aids Post-Convention Kamala Push By Floating ‘Movement’ Label
This satirical blog critiques Politico's efforts to market “movement” as a term to describe Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. Michael Kruse of Politico is tasked with promoting this concept, albeit with apparent mockery. The blog lampoons various Democratic strategists who liken Harris to figures like JFK and FDR, highlighting the absurdity of their comparisons. Ultimately, the article…
CNBC Host Shreds Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Fallacious,’ ‘Misleading’ Pitch
CNBC anchor Joe Kernen exposed radical leftist Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) price-fixing proposal as a disaster and a distraction.
NBC Hails ‘Moderate’ Kamala’s ‘Impassioned’ DNC Speech
NBC’s Today couldn’t measure up to the hackery on ABC and CBS Friday morning in recapping the final day of Democratic National Convention, but they still delivered plenty of pathetic lines cheering “moderate” Vice President Kamala Harris’s “impassioned speech framing the election in historic terms...and delivering a searing rebuke of” Donald Trump but hoping to govern from “the center…
The Jobs Aren’t All Right
The government, for the past year, has overstated joblessness by 818,000 jobs. That revision comes on top of the monthly revisions already made. It is probably not a conspiracy to help Joe Biden and Kamala Harris look good or they would have waited until after the election, not before early voting, to announce the revision. But it is troubling that the government data was off by so much and…
Stewart Hearts Harris: 'Doesn't Faintly Resemble The Caricature'
Jon Stewart wrapped up The Daily Show’s week of coverage of the Democratic National Convention with a live episode on Comedy Central on Thursday where he promoted the idea that Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech proves “she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that's been painted.” Later in the program, actor Jason Bateman would narrate a promo video for Harris, where he argued she…
Hyping Harris: Late Night Comedy's DNC Coverage Goes Soft
For the late night comedy shows, the week of the Democratic National Convention provides the hosts with an opportunity to prove that they can make fun of Democrats in the same way they attack Republicans. However, a new MRC study shows they failed to do so this past week. In terms of quantity, the comedians hold 113 fewer jokes than they did during the RNC and 60 fewer jokes about Kamala…
ABC: ‘Moderate’ Kamala Was Reagan With ‘Morning in America’ DNC Speech
As they have all week, ABC’s Good Morning America had the best (or worst?) body of work gleefully devouring propaganda from the Democratic National Convention like drunk college kids hankering for late-night pizza. On Friday, they drooled over “what a night” for Vice President Kamala Harris, giving a “Morning in America” speech that could have been given “at a Republican convention...…
'Everything We've Been Waiting For': Colbert Hails Harris Speech
CBS’s Stephen Colbert wrapped up his week of live shows from Chicago on the final night of the Democratic National Convention by hyping Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech as “everything we've been waiting for.” To cap it all off, he welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for some additional party promotional material.
