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.

In his on-air role at ABC, former Clinton campaign operative George Stephanopoulos has been a reliable mouthpiece for the Democratic spin of the day — using his perch as an analyst and correspondent to boost liberals, undermine conservatives and lobby for liberal policies.

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. 

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.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott both officially jumped into the 2024 presidential race this month and were greeted with nasty jabs from the leftist media. The following are some of the worst attacks against DeSantis, Scott and other conservatives from the month of May. 

The TV news media spent much of last week decrying a conservative boycott against Target, warning of reported “threats” against store employees. But suddenly, when multiple Target locations received bomb threats by a supposed LGBT activist, the journalists went quiet.

In their coverage of the just-concluded debt ceiling stand-off, ABC, CBS and NBC put the onus for a potential default on Republicans, ignored the dangers of the rising national debt, and hyped GOP proposals to trim spending as extreme attempts to “gut” or “slash” liberal programs.

In 2016, former CBS head honcho Les Moonves said Donald Trump’s presence in politics “may be bad for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.”  Clearly Mooves was not the only network head to have made such an assessment. On Thursday, just on CNN and MSNBC, Trump was mentioned by name a whopping 399 times between 6:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET.

The following are just four of the most recent Hunter Biden scandals and how they’ve been ignored by ABC, CBS, NBC from May 19 through the morning of May 23.

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.
