Gaffe Alert: Nets Skip Baffled Kamala Confused By Electric Car
Given Kamala Harris’s extremely low approval ratings (28 percent), the networks seem to think making the Vice President invisible is the best kind of damage control. That continued on Monday night and Tuesday morning as ABC, CBS and NBC all avoided video of a baffled Harris trying to figure out how an electric car actually works.
Nets Abandon Parade Slaughter, Censor Bigoted Hate of Wisconsin Killer
It has now been 22 days since a bigoted, anti-Semitic killer drove his SUV into a Wisconsin, parade, murdering six.

EMBARRASSED: Why Has GMA Gone 665 Days Since Covering Jussie Smollett?
The Jussie Smollett hoax trial went to the jury on Wednesday, but you wouldn’t know it on Good Morning America. Since the start of the trial, the ABC show has offered ZERO coverage of the claims that the actor lied about a MAGA mob assaulting him. It seems as though GMA’s reporters and hosts are embarrassed of their past credulous, fawning interview with Smollett.
ASHAMED: ABC Wants You to Forget Its Embarrassing Smollett Reporting
It seems as though ABC News journalists and executives are still capable of feeling shame. How else to explain the network’s attempt to make everyone forget their initial (and very excited) coverage of Jussie Smollett's claims that a MAGA-loving mob assaulted him on a frigid Chicago night in 2018? In 2021, ABC is attempting to bury the story.
Nets Hyped Fake Smollett Attack as 'MAGA' Terror, Bury Hoax Trial
In 2019, the networks hyped the shocking claims of Empire actor Jussie Smollett, that he had been attacked by a deranged MAGA mob on the streets of Chicago. Now, ABC, CBS and NBC are hiding Smollett’s trial for hoaxing the whole thing. In the first week, from November 29 through the morning of December 6, CBS allowed NO coverage of the trial. ABC managed a scant 22 seconds and NBC offered the…
Journos Offer Excuses for Biden’s Ineptness, Enraged by Rittenhouse
There was a lot for the leftist journalists to be upset about this month. First they saw a key bellwether race in Virginia blow up in their faces. Then they saw their man President Joe Biden’s ratings take a nosedive, even as they lamely attempted to sell his policies and try to tell their audiences that…
The Media Stopped Talking About Darrell Brooks Because He’s Black
The name Darrell Brooks hasn’t been uttered a single time on CNN since last Thursday, November 25. Today marked the first time anyone on MSNBC mentioned Brooks by name since last Wednesday, November 24. The scant coverage came in the form of a hasty (34 seconds) news brief that ran once each on the network’s two morning programs, Way Too Early with Jonathan Lemire and Morning Joe…

After Obsessing Over Steele Dossier, Nets Don’t Report Its Destruction
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.
ABC, NBC Hint Youngkin Catered to Racists, Skip Black Republican’s Win
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…
Hacks at the Post Endorsed Every VA Dem Candidate for Gov Since 1977
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.
Anyone Opposing Today’s Democrats Is Like a Democrat (George Wallace)
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…
