CNN’s Jake Tapper and Pamela Brown launched a smear campaign against New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers this week after it was revealed he was on Robert F.

And when Rodgers denied their allegations, Tapper took to his show, The Lead on Thursday to falsely…
'Just One Vote,' PolitiFact Defends Dem Senator's Spending Record
GOP Senate hopeful Eric Hovde has run afoul of the nitpickers at PolitiFact for correctly stating Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin's record on the national debt. The Thursday fact-check from Hope Karnopp defended Baldwin by claiming his statistics are unfair because the economy is larger than it has been historically and Baldwin is “just one vote in Congress.”
New Election, Same Tactics: Reid Warns Of GOP 'Voter Suppression'
Donald Trump going up against Joe Biden is not the only thing familiar about the 2024 presidential election. There is also MSNBC’s Joy Reid spreading voter suppression conspiracy theories.

De Niro Claims '******* Moron' Trump Will 'Come Looking For Me'
Prior to Sunday’s Oscars, actor Robert De Niro traveled over to HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher to warn that if Trump wins in November, then Trump will “come looking for me.” Later, on Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, De Niro claimed Trump is simultaneously “so [bleep] stupid” and a “[bleep] moron.”
False Balance: PBS Hosts Two 'Republicans' To Bash Trump, Current GOP
PBS News Weekend did something unusual on Saturday’s show: It presented two "Republicans" to talk politics. (PBS news shows are notoriously averse to hosting conservative guests.)

Shameless Media Covers For Biden Campaign Ad Tying Klan To Trump
“I know the American story.” So opens a new Biden ad with those words from the candidate/president as they show images of the KKK and of Trump. One suspects the Biden campaign staff doesn’t know (or doesn't care about) the factual American story - not to mention, importantly, the media outlets reporting on the ad. Which party had all the ties to the KKK?
ABC Airs Softest Portions Of Mary Bruce's Kamala Harris Interview

The View: Biden’s ‘Great’ SOTU Didn’t Trigger My ‘Depression, Anxiety’
President Biden’s angry, bitter, and shouty State of the Union address got rave reviews from the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View on Friday. Co-host Sara Haines enjoyed that it didn’t trigger her “depression” and “anxiety,” while faux-conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin proclaimed it “the first time” she felt “he could beat Donald Trump.” And those were some of the more lucid takes.
NBC Hypes ‘Energized’, ‘Feisty’ Biden’s ‘Humor, Combativeness’ at SOTU
Just as ABC’s Good Morning America on Friday got weak knees over President Biden’s State of the Union address, NBC’s Today followed suit by swooning over the “energized” and “feisty” President’s “mix of energy, humor, combativeness” to deliver a “poignant” speech with “an optimistic view” on the economy standing up for “main street.”
ABC Gets Weak Knees Over ‘Aggressive’, Fiery’, Biden's ‘Feisty’ SOTU
After polishing the White House’s apples on Thursday ahead of the President’s State of the Union address, ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) were unsurprisingly hot and bothered Friday by what they deemed to have been an “aggressive”, “fiery”, “tough” President doling out a “feisty” speech in a “rowdy” atmosphere against a “combative” and “not” civil GOP.
ABC Praises SOTU: 'Great Night' for Biden, Tapped 'Old-Time Religion'
ABC’s post-State of the Union analysis made it very clear how hard the network was going to work to help get President Biden get reelected in November. Chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl and senior national correspondent Terry Moran did a lot of the cheerleading for President Biden’s bitter and angry screed at the American people.
CNN Does Damage Control for Biden’s Senior Moments During SOTU Speech
