Media Reality Check

On Thursday June 8, two massive political stories broke, but ONLY one of them got covered by the broadcast networks. 

A review of the MRC’s archives shows a consistent and clear pattern of slanted questions to Republican candidates in debates hosted by NBC. There is a decades-long pattern of moderator questions designed to antagonize, embarrass or mock Republican candidates, their policies and supporters.

Starting Friday with a 15,000-word tome by The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta, CNN boss Chris Licht’s legitimacy took on a deluge of water with one story after another seeking to end Licht’s tenure beset by a disastrous morning show, a lack of network cohesion, and sagging ratings. Licht was hired by Discovery head honcho David Zaslav to move CNN to the center and away from the permanent…

Chuck Todd has tapped out. On Sunday, the moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press announced he’ll step down in September making way for current White House correspondent Kristen Welker to take over.

On Thursday afternoon, President Biden took a might tumble when he fell nearly flat on his face at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Such a fall drew eyeballs and defenses from the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC with the conservative drinking game words of capitalizing, pouncing and seizing on it.

A new Media Research Center study finds broadcast network reporters never criticized the size of the most massive spending bills (more than $1 trillion) passed by the Congress going back to 2018. Instead, reporters usually echoed the politicians promoting this spending by repeatedly listing the benefits of each bill, without discussing how the spending would affect the national debt or…

With the Writers Guild of America going on strike, it is likely that America has seen the last of the first half of 2023’s late night comedy shows. Whether America wants them to return is another question as 95 percent of their guests were liberal, a NewsBusters study has documented.

Another shocking development in the Biden family scandal case that the networks are censoring.

Given their government funding, citizens should expect public broadcasting’s news coverage to be scrupulously neutral, yet an exhaustive Media Research Center study of PBS NewsHour found coverage of the first four months of the new Congress has been heavily slanted against Republicans.
