2026 Congressional

Hours after an Oliver Darcy underling screeched Sunday about CBS News’s social media platforms as having gone full MAGA for covering unsavory stories such as a Jewish Insider investigation into the radical social media history of New York City’s first lady, Monday’s CBS Mornings showed the liberal media are unsurprisingly not living in reality as the newscast welcomed far-left Texas…

On Wednesday, ABC and CBS were nauseatingly in awe on their flagship newscasts of far-left Texas State Representative James Talarico — who believes, among other things, God was non-binary and that Mary would support abortion — as possessing “cross-partisan appeal” in a campaign “emphasizing unity” to pull in “moderates” to deliver Texas the first statewide Democrat win since 1994.

Despite having been painted a picture by the liberal media that the new CBS News would become something akin to MAGA TV, it has been anything but. Wednesday’s CBS Mornings reacted with negative narratives about President Trump’s “contentious” 2026 State of the Union speech, “clash[ing] with Democrats” and painting a supposedly dour economy as strong.

We are a little over 8 months away from the 2026 midterm elections, but 2018 positioning is already in the air. CNN made sure to get that ball rolling with an early potential candidate interview: California Governor Gavin Newsom. The interview, conducted by State of the Union co-host Dana Bash, centered around the release of Newsom's memoir “Young Man in a Hurry.” The interview was as…

Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was pulled from TV over equal-time rules, but aired on YouTube, where it drew millions of views and boosted Talarico’s campaign. Politico celebrated the episode, which critics say was a publicity stunt exploiting grievance culture for political and fundraising gains.

On Jake Tapper's CNN show on Tuesday, they discussed Stephen Colbert's stunt of putting an interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico on YouTube because his lawyers banned him from putting Talarico on air. CNN and Jonah Goldberg touted this as a "gift" for the two men, a "perfect storm" where "everybody" opposed to Trump comes out a winner. 

Those trying to turn CBS’s Stephen Colbert into a free speech martyr for the James Talarico-equal time controversy suffered a setback on Wednesday as Colbert welcomed Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff to The Late Show. Unfortunately, those who would like the late night hosts at least pretend to put in an effort to have some sort of balance on their shows also suffered a setback as the duo…

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr said at a press event Wednesday that he got a big laugh when he looked back at the way CBS “Late Show” Host Stephen Colbert used a hoax to manipulate the media this week.

“THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico,” CBS said in a statement Tuesday after the show’s host, Stephen Colbert, claimed he was told he could not air his interview with the Democrat candidate.

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert angrily denounced FCC chairman Brendan Carr after CBS told him that he could not interview Texas State Rep. and Senate candidate James Talarico for his Monday show. Colbert accused Carr and President Trump of trying to silence him but ultimately ended up interviewing Talarico anyway and put the video up on YouTube. Beyond the FCC, the main purpose of…

Just how badly did Republicans do in two Texas special elections last weekend? Not as badly as apocalyptic headlines in liberal-leaning outlets would suggest — but badly enough that Republicans nationwide have to learn some searing lessons. Although the GOP lost both races, one was for a U.S. House seat that’s been in Democrats’ hands for decades: Christian Menefee’s victory narrows the GOP’s…

We often accuse the Elitist Media, with a decades-long body of evidence here at the Media Research Center, of conducting themselves in a manner similar to that of progressive activists. On rare occasions, they also act as policy advisors.

Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post counterpart Kathleen Parker pinch-hit for Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks, respectively, on Friday’s PBS NewsHour, where they teamed up with host Geoff Bennett to invoke Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and Jim Crow all over a conspiracy theory about ICE…

One thing’s for sure: the lefty media can’t handle that President Donald Trump has the ability to shift the news cycle away from their non-stop propagandizing that his Immigration and Customs Enforcement carrying out its duties is supposedly his own personal gestapo.
