Media Reality Check

The latest figures from the U.S. government show that while monthly border encounters decreased somewhat in June, they are still nearly twice as high as they were when President Biden first took office in January of 2021. But despite overcrowded processing facilities and thousands of unauthorized daily crossings, ABC, CBS, and NBC’s flagship evening newscasts prefer to cover the crisis from…

During the January 6 hearings, CNN and MSNBC would condemn Fox News in the harshest and most hyperbolic of ways if it chose to not cover the them live. However, when it came to Wednesday’s House Oversight hearing on two IRS whistleblowers alleging improper interference in the Hunter Biden investigation, the two networks did not cover the hearings live. Worse than that, the networks spent nine…

Over 39 days (June 8-morning of July 18) the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks crammed their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with a total of 527 minutes of coverage dedicated to the Trump indictment. But how much did the Biden/Burisma alleged bribery scheme receive? Zero seconds.

Left-wing media hacks were really outraged by the Supreme Court conservatives’ decisions this month. MSNBCers like Joy Reid raged against the Court’s “anti-blackness” having erased “70 years of protected rights.” The Nation’s Elie Mystal disgustingly called Justice Clarence Thomas “A mutilated version of a black justice,” and sneered that Justice John Roberts was the “enemy of black…

An eyewitness with stunning claims about the Biden family scandals has come forward on a video, yet so far ABC, CBS and NBC have yet to report on them.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been widely criticized for her inability to field even basic inquiries about the scandals plaguing President Biden. Despite the President’s January 2021 pledge to “bring transparency and truth back to the government,” Jean-Pierre has failed to answer practically every such question she’s faced.

From the evening of June 22 through the morning of June 24 ABC, CBS and NBC (on their evening and morning shows) spent a grand total of 5 minutes, 3 seconds devoted to the 2017 WhatsApp text message from Hunter Biden trying to shake down a Chinese businessman.

On June 8, a bombshell landed as Fox News reported that President Joe Biden had allegedly received $5 million dollars from an executive of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, the same company in which his son Hunter was involved. So how much time did the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC)…

Senior political analyst John Avlon killed all irony on Tuesday’s CNN Tonight as he used some sketchy research to accuse Fox News of being obsessed with Hunter Biden. At the same time, Avlon sought to fact-check Republican claims that a legal double standard exists, but didn’t actually address the main point of the GOP’s allegations.

UPDATE: Over 26 days (June 8- morning of July 5) the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks crammed their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with a total of 522 minutes of coverage dedicated to the Trump indictment.

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned on Tuesday on charges related to the retention of classified documents and CNN and MSNBC wanted to make sure you were aware of it.

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…
