The front pages of Monday's New York Times and Washington Post both expressed alarm at President Biden's slippage with black voters, the most reliable Democrat voting bloc. The Times channeled "black faith leaders" who are demanding Israel submit to a ceasefire in Gaza, including some well-known Louis Farrakhan fans.

Kamala Harris granted a softball interview to Katie Couric, who delighted in her abortion advocacy and asked her to explain just how reporters allegedly aren't talking up Biden's accomplishments. What? We're in another cycle of reporters complaining that the economy is doing great, and the voters just aren't accepting their spin.

The New Hampshire primary results didn't dampen media enthusiasm for a Trump vs. Biden rerun. But Nikki Haley only lost by 11 percent. Democrat Dean Phillips almost hit 20 percent against President Biden. Haley's voters were lauded for their votes, but Phillips remained an asterisk in the pro-Biden media's coverage. Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro analyzes the election-night spin.

This was another year that the networks skipped over the March for Life. They ignore people who oppose what they favor: abortion on demand at any point in pregnancy. Then their "fact checkers" get angry when you point out they favor abortion at any point. MRC Culture's Tierin-Rose Mandelburg joins the show to discuss what she found on the scene.

As the 2024 campaign heats up, a network’s evening newscast deems it appropriate to cover the president’s cognitive decline. Not the sitting president, though, but his predecessor.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was touted as a mortal threat to Donald Trump's reelection campaign with her election-interference indictments in Georgia. Now news is breaking that she had an affair with her special prosecutor and he's not very qualified for the job. The networks hate this story, and some are skipping over it. 

MRC's censorship investigators have published a two-part report on how the Department of Homeland Security used a "Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention" program to malign conservative information as "misinformation" and worse. MRC vice president for Free Speech America Dan Schneider explains just how deep this censorship effort goes.

Bias by omission reared its ugly leftist head again over the weekend after a pro-Hamas protest started looking a little riot-ish, shaking fences at the White House as the Secret Service emerged in riot gear. But ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS were just too busy focusing on Donald Trump or other Republican "hardliners" to notice these radicals and their many "Genocide Joe" signs.

A new MRC study by Rich Noyes of all the evening-news coverage of the Republican presidential race on ABC, CBS, and NBC in 2023 makes it obvious the networks want Trump to be the nominee. He drew almost all of the coverage -- other candidates could barely get noticed. And most of the Trump coverage obsessed over his legal problems, mostly avoiding any national policy issues. 

Eyeballs were rolled when Brian Stelter argued to MSNBC's Joy Reid that Fox's audience is radicalized and wants to be dangerously misinformed, and "It is not biased or partisan to tug on the side of truth." His side is the "reality-based world."

A basic tenet of any sort of media tradecraft, whether in print or on-screen, is that you should have some knowledge of the things of which you speak or write. Revolutionary concept, I know. When that doesn’t happen, we get what we saw tonight- an assortment of drive-bys beclowning themselves over the meaning of a quote used by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a callback to Ronald Reagan.

A new MRC study by Bill D'Agostino found that of 337 Biden-scandal questions asked of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in the second half of 2023, only eight (2.38 percent) drew an answer instead of a maddening deferral or a blatant refusal to answer. The answer was meant to be a dead end, so you'd avoid that street.

Multimillionaire TV host and movie star Whoopi Goldberg lashed out at poor people during Monday’s edition of ABC’s The View. She was irate that poor people would dare to be upset about having to pay high prices for basic goods and vote against President Biden because of it. She told them to ignore inflation and suggested that if they didn’t, and former President Trump returned to the…

A new Media Research Center study by Alex Christy underlines that the late-night jesters on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Comedy Central overwhelmingly tilt their political jokes to whack Republicans. So Alex joins the show to explain the mysterious joking patterns of liberal comedians inside their precious silos.
