Kansas

As the midterms loom less than two weeks away, PBS News Hour co-host Geoff Bennett set the table Tuesday night with discussion about yet another “surprisingly close race” in a Red state, the moderate Republican stronghold of Kansas. Reporter William Brangham discussed the Senate race with Jared Cerullo of affiliate station PBS Kansas. 

Disney-owned ABC’s Good Morning America has long been the most liberal of the broadcast network morning shows, so it was only natural that they would lie down on the train tracks to defend Michigan Democrat senatorial candidate Abdul el-Sayed by claiming Republican candidate Mike Rogers claimed “without evidence” that el-Sayed has ties “to Islamic extremists” in the Muslim Brotherhood.

ABC, CBS, and NBC were ebullient on their lead Tuesday morning newscasts, marking two weeks from Election Day by telling viewers there are “struggling Republicans” nationwide beset by a “combative” President Trump, and that Democrats are “riding a wave of concern over the economy,” and marveling at a Kansas Democrat’s new ad asking for support from Trump voters.

For more than five decades, conservative and Republican taxpayers were forced to subsidize PBS and their routinely leftist "news," or messaging. In the midterms, we have found again that they overwhelmingly pounce on the Republicans with negative spin on their "News Hour." Nobody can argue that spinning against the GOP 94 percent of the time is synonymous with "the truth."

On Tuesday, the “Big Three” elitist networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each used their flagship morning newscasts to lie to their viewers with four weeks until Election Day by falsely claiming President Trump mused about allowing Iran to destroy Los Angeles and/or San Diego, California, as a “small price to pay” to defeat the Islamist regime.

The media’s week of trying to focus solely on Republican gaffes and hot mic comments continued on Friday’s episode of PBS News Hour, but the tables turned as The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks flubbed two basic facts when trying to paint the GOP’s midterm outlook as dire.

In its rush to paint the GOP as Doomed in November, Wednesday’s PBS News Hour not only made a full meal out of a new PBS-NPR poll showing lagging enthusiasm for Republicans, but interviewed former Kansas Republican Gov. Bill Graves who was apparently making big news by (once again!) endorsing a Democrat, this time one running against sitting Republican Sen. Roger Marshall.

On Friday, PolitiFact posted a story headlined “Why Republicans are focusing on transgender issues in competitive 2026 campaigns.” The headline could have been “Republicans are using misleading anti-transgender rhetoric.” That was their argument.

On Wednesday's Money, Power, Politics, MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle fawned over liberal pastor Adam Hamilton, who is the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Kansas.

ABC reporter Karen Travers used her round of Q&A during Thursday’s White House press briefing to invite a willing accomplice in Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to join the liberal media mob against Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker for his alleged crime of giving a pro-family, pro-life, pro-parenting commencement address at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.

On National Public Radio’s Morning Edition Wednesday, new show host Michel Martin invited a Kansas-based reporter to join her in a rhetorical frenzy against a transgender bill recently passed by the Kansas legislature: "Senate Bill 180 would force transgender people to use bathrooms associated with the gender on their birth certificate. It would also prevent them from changing their name or…

It all started when a teacher stood her ground and pushed back against the leftist mob and their smorgasbord of pronouns. And, in a rare occurrence, the school district has now forked over $95,000 to the teacher as a settlement. 

Univision’s report on the Kansas ballot initiative regarding abortion simultaneously managed to disinform viewers, promote a pro-abortion agenda, and undermine our democratic institutions. It is not surprising, then, that Hispanics continue to lose trust in corporate media. 

The three main broadcast networks spent Thursday morning hyping the defeat of a pro-life Kansas ballot measure as “blowback” for the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling, left conservatives “flat-footed,” and has the potential to motivate Democrats to vote in November.
