Bias by the Minute

Seth Meyers isn’t funny, but he’s definitely a joke. The Late Night host trashed Donald Trump when the Republican was President. Now that a Democrat is in charge, he has a new obsession: Moderate Democrat Joe Manchin. Rather than hold Joe Biden to account, Meyers slimes the West Virginia Senator as a corrupt, “ignoble” politician who “s****” all over the President’s agenda.”  

It has now been 22 days since a bigoted, anti-Semitic killer drove his SUV into a Wisconsin, parade, murdering six. Yet, not long after the Waukesha slaughter, the networks stopped mentioning the name of alleged killer Darrell Brooks. By December 7, ABC, CBS, and NBC had completely abandoned the story altogether. 

The Jussie Smollett hoax trial went to the jury on Wednesday, but you wouldn’t know it on Good Morning America. Since the start of the trial, the ABC show has offered ZERO coverage of the claims that the actor lied about a MAGA mob assaulting him. It seems as though GMA’s reporters and hosts are embarrassed of their past credulous, fawning interview with Smollett. 

It seems as though ABC News journalists and executives are still capable of feeling shame. How else to explain the network’s attempt to make everyone forget their initial (and very excited) coverage of Jussie Smollett's claims that a MAGA-loving mob assaulted him on a frigid Chicago night in 2018? In 2021, ABC is attempting to bury the story. 

In 2019, the networks hyped the shocking claims of Empire actor Jussie Smollett, that he had been attacked by a deranged MAGA mob on the streets of Chicago. Now, ABC, CBS and NBC are hiding Smollett’s trial for hoaxing the whole thing. In the first week, from November 29 through the morning of December 6, CBS allowed NO coverage of the trial. ABC managed a scant 22 seconds and NBC offered the…

This may be the most radical Biden nominee you’ve never heard of. This week, Saule Omarova is set to face Senate hearings to head a branch of the Treasury Department. Who is this woman? She appears enchanted with Soviet Russia, and “wants” to bankrupt industries. And ABC, CBS and NBC haven't said a word about her. 

The media obsession over the Steele dossier and the ensuing investigation over it dominated their coverage of the first few years of the Trump administration. The ABC, CBS, NBC evening news programs alone devoted an astonishing 2,634 minutes to it. So how much time have the broadcast evening news shows spent on the Danchenko indictment from November 4 through November 8? Zero seconds. 

The corrupt media’s wall of protection for the Joe Biden administration is crumbling, despite the best efforts of the networks. Last week, it was revealed that the White House is shelling out money to families of illegals separated at the border. Yet, the networks ignored the President at first calling the number, suggested to be $450,000, “garbage” and then ultimately admitting that some…

The networks on Thursday night and Friday morning buried the harassment and bullying of one of the two moderate Democratic senators standing in way of Joe Biden’s liberal agenda. Climate extremists on Thursday morning followed, screamed at and then swarmed the car of Joe Manchin as he was trying to leave his D.C. houseboat on Thursday. 

After the 2017 New Jersey and Virginia elections, where Democrats swept to victory, the networks the next day delighted in a “stinging rebuke” that “lifted” the spirts of Democrats. Four years later on Wednesday, as Republicans won in deep-blue Virginia and hold a lead in very deep blue New Jersey, ABC, CBS and NBC again tried to focus the results back on Donald Trump. 

Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli stunned the political and media establishment on Tuesday with a breathtaking performance. As of 8:30 AM on Wednesday, Jack Ciattarelli leads incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy…

The Washington Post takes itself very seriously, claiming on the front page every day that “democracy dies in darkness.” On the editorial page, it declares itself “an independent newspaper.” But on Tuesday, the Post continued its favorite, decidedly non-independent, tradition: Endorsing the Democratic candidate for governor in Virginia for the 12th time in a row.

MRC analysts looked at 16 nights of primetime (7pm ET - 11pm ET) programming on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News from October 12 through October 28 and found an almost complete blackout of the Loudoun sex assault story by CNN and MSNBC. 

The last three months have been nightmarish for Joe Biden’s presidency. In August, his popularity started to nosedive, dropping precipitously so that, by late October, some polls had him dipping into the high 30s. But in comparison to Donald Trump, ABC, CBS and NBC had almost double the number of mentions of bad polling for the Republican.
