The following is just a small sampling of journalists spinning the bad inflation numbers for the Biden administration.

The following is look back through the Worst of Brian Williams via the MRC’s archives. On Tuesday, MSNBC The 11th Hour anchor announced he was not renewing his contract with the network at the end of the year as he stated: “This is the end of a chapter and the beginning of another.” What Williams didn’t say was how this latest chapter began.

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 liberal media’s immediate reaction to the left’s defeat in Virginia on Election Day was to start screaming at the state and accusing voters of forwarding a racist agenda because Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) had promised to get Critical Race Theory out of schools there. But to help perpetuate the false narrative, they ignored how those same Virginia voters elected Winsome Sears (R), a…

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.

In just the past few weeks liberal media elitists like Joy Reid, Jonathan Capehart and Joe Scarborough have attacked Republicans for playing up “white grievance” on Critical Race Theory to “whip up” “working-class white men” to get “back into power.” All so they could stand “in the doorway” like “George Wallace” to deny “voting rights for all Americans.”  The following are the worst takes from…

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. 

Late on Friday night, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) belatedly apologized for language that linked concerned parents to domestic terrorists. But all three networks from Friday to Monday morning ignored the organization retreating, “On behalf of NSBA, we regret and apologize for the letter.... There was no justification for some of the language included in the letter.” 

Here’s a question that shouldn’t be hard for anyone: “[Was] the Pentagon a legitimate target?” But it wasn’t a simple one for then-ABC President David Westin exactly 20 years ago today. On October 23, 2001, at an event at Columbia University, Westin offered a sickening response to 9/11.

MRC analysts looked at all of the news coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows, as well as CNN and MSNBC’s coverage (6am through midnight ET) from October 11 (publication of The Daily Wire investigation) through October 20 and found zero seconds spent on the following stories: Parents upset at transgender bathroom polices that led to sexual assaults of female students in Loudoun…

The Joe Biden presidency is collapsing and the networks don’t want you to know about it. Two just-released polls have found the Democrat at record lows. But between the evening newscasts on Tuesday and the morning shows on Wednesday, offered zero coverage of the very bad news for Biden. 

A tragic murder of a British Member of Parliament underlines the types of horrific crimes that journalists care about and the ones that they either joke about or minimize. David Amess, a conservative MP was brutally stabbed to death on Friday by an apparent Islamic fundamentalist. And while the networks offered just under ten minutes of coverage from Friday night to Monday night, they focused…
