Election Day is now just 17 days away, and we’re beginning to hear the media dismiss Trump’s chances, just as they did four years ago. But we all know what happened four years ago. At this point in that campaign, ABC’s Jonathan Karl was suggesting “not just a loss, but a blowout,” while then-CBS anchor Scott Pelley assured liberals: “No candidate down this far this late has ever recovered.”…

From October 14 through October 15 MRC analysts looked at the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows, plus ABC’s and NBC’s townhall events with Joe Biden and President Trump, as well as CNN and MSNBC’s coverage (6am through midnight). Out of a total of 92 hours of news programming, there was less than 10 minutes (9 minutes, 47 seconds) spent on the latest scandal involving Joe Biden’s son, or…

On Thursday morning, NewsBusters deputy research director Geoffrey Dickens predicted that NBC Today co-host Savannah Guthrie would “go nuts on [President] Trump” in the town hall later that evening. And he was spot on with his prediction as she directed 25 liberal questions, comments, and other such biased interactions at the President.

After kicking off Thursday by downplaying the bombshell New York Post report exposing alleged corruption by the Biden family as just President Trump trying to rehash “an old attack line,’ CBS Evening News knew it wasn’t sticking and shifted gears. No longer questioning the veracity of the emails and other disturbing discoveries, chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes…

Savannah Guthrie is NO fan of Donald Trump, and if her recent attacks on him are an indicator — look for the NBC Today show co-host to pepper the President with nasty questions at tonight’s townhall event.

In lieu of the now-cancelled presidential debate, ABC and NBC tonight will host town hall gatherings with President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. If fairness still counts for anything in 2020 (which we know is asking a lot), those networks will treat each candidate similarly to how they treated their rivals in previous town hall sessions.

During the Wednesday handoff between CNN’s Cuomo PrimeTime and CNN Tonight, the host of the latter, Don Lemon went on a tirade against NBC for allowing President Trump to address voters’ questions at a town hall event at the same time as Democratic nominee Joe Biden, on Thursday. Over time, his whining transitioned from just wanting the event to be held on a different night…

With Barrett’s hearings beginning today, we here at NewsBusters decided to take a quick look back at how hard celebrities first took the news of her nomination. Just imagine where their heads will be once Barrett is actually confirmed.

As Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris get ready to debate tonight, we at NewsBusters thought it would be helpful to remind our readers of the stark contrast in how the press has treated both VP candidates. The following are worst attacks on Pence followed by the media’s love of Harris, as culled from the MRC’s archives: 

The following is a Top 12 countdown of the gross gloating by liberal journalist of Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis.

The following is a top 10 countdown of just some of the most outrageous bias by lefty journalists over the last month.

The following is a top 12 countdown of the most disgusting and outrageous takes by left-wing journalists of Trump’s first 2020 debate performance against Biden.

Four years ago, the liberal networks pounded Republican nominee Donald Trump with bad press, yet he won the White House anyway. Now, ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts are giving Trump the same hostile treatment, but they’ve significantly softened their approach to Trump’s Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

While journalists today loudly criticize Republicans as hypocrites for moving forward on replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trip through the Media Research Center’s archives shows the liberal media are also exhibiting more than their fair share of hypocrisy. Four years ago, when Republican leader Mitch McConnell would not permit a Senate vote on a liberal replacement to…
