During NBC’s Sunday Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd joined host Willie Geist to discuss the past week which of course included the days-long Speaker election in which Kevin McCarthy emerged victorious.

Two days after Kevin McCarthy won his hard-fought battle to become Speaker of the House of Representatives after 15 rounds of voting and bargaining between McCarthy and House conservatives, ABC's This Week moderator George Stephanopoulos opened the program on Sunday morning to panic over what the next two years could mean for the United States now that McCarthy is second in line for…

So the media template of the GOP Speakers fight is - shocking I know - the same old, same old.

After all the House speaker votes amid January 6 drama, CNN pundit Jonah Goldberg slammed conservatives voting against Kevin McCarthy as a RINO loser is a "fantasy" that "these guys are getting high on their own farts in the Fox green room."  Goldberg went on to insult NewsBusters, so we evaluate it all.

CNN’s Chris Wallace travelled to CBS’s The Late Show on Thursday to discuss his career, the new season of Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace, and the on-going drama in the House of Representatives.

After three days of a gridlocked House Republican conference unable to unite behind a candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News continued their partisan labeling of the twenty Republicans who refuse to back the current frontrunner during their evening newscasts.

On the Tuesday edition of Amanpour & Co on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour interviewed former moderate Republican Rep. Will Hurd, who served three terms in office but didn’t seek reelection in 2020.

When it comes to the election to be Speaker of the House, nobody is safe from the late night liberals. If you support Kevin McCarthy they relish in your failure, if you oppose Kevin McCarthy they will denounce you as an extremist, and if you’re Ronald Reagan and have been dead for nearly 20 years, CBS Late Night host Stephen Colbert will take the opportunity to suggest you are in hell…

On Wednesday evening's The 11th Hour on MSNBC, host Stephanie Ruhle had a surprise guest on the show to discuss the ongoing battle for the election of Speaker of the House of Representatives, this guest was Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.

Is Chris Licht interested in changing CNN or is he asleep at the wheel? Such was the case on Tuesday during the coverage of the vote for Speaker of the 118th Congress when it felt as though old puppetmaster Jeff Zucker were still in the control room as so-called journalists smeared Republicans and wondered if voters actually want Congress to do anything about Hunter Biden’s life of corruption…

Following Monday’s softball interview with Senator Raphael Warnock, CBS Mornings brought in liberal media darling (and likely serial leaker) and Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for a rhetorical foot massage over his work on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 riot, pleading with him to run for Senate in 2024, and teeing him up to attack likely incoming House Speaker…

There was some good old-school New York Times labeling bias on Wednesday’s front page, on California Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s fight to become House Speaker when the Republican Party takes over control of Congress next month: “McCarthy Fights to Clear Path to Speaker’s Seat.” The front-page text box set the hostile labeling tone: “Trump’s Lobbying Has Not Moved Critics on the Far Right.” …
