Tell the Truth 2024

After Hunter Biden’s wild press conference in lieu of appearing to testify before the House committees investigating the Biden family’s foreign business dealings ahead of yesterday’s vote on an impeachment inquiry, it appears that the communications strategy is lacking consensus. And on CNN NewsNight with Abby Philip, an opportunity to shape that post-presser consensus narrative.

GOP Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy shut down CNN town hall host Abby Phillip’s framing on the question of the U.S. Supreme Court’s grant of certiorari regarding abortion drug Mifepristone.

To the hammer, everything looks like a nail. If you are a conspiracy-theorizing MSNBC anchor, everything is going to look like the Russia Hoax. Case in point, Chris Hayes’ weird Russia Hoax tie-in towards the end of his rant on the GOP’s insistence that border security reforms be a part of any aid package to Ukraine.  

As you may already know, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Washington, at President Joe Biden’s request, in order to lobby for additional U.S. military assistance (shorthand: taxpayer money) in its ongoing war against Russia. The GOP’s attachment of border reforms as a precondition to any further outlays of taxpayer dollars in Ukraine seems to have infuriated the media, if this…

The idea that the onetime home of Walter Duranty should be taken seriously on anything pertaining to an editorial shift, or concern over an editorial shift at any other media outlet, is laughable. But, alas, here we are. The Old Grey Lady is the latest to weigh in on the Acela Media’s collective panic over Univision’s interview of former President Donald Trump specifically, and over a…

It is now ABC’s installment of what now appears to be an ongoing Acela Media series, which explores the prospects of the truest, purest victim of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza: President Joe Biden’s reelection.

ABC This Week’s “Powerhouse Roundtable”, hosted this week by Martha Raddatz, discussed the indictment of Hunter Biden on tax charges. The conversation threatened to veer into “a father’s undying love” territory, but it only took former DOJ spokesperson Sarah Isgur 39 seconds to bring the discussion back into fo

Once you understand that the core business model of Spanish-language TV depends on a steady inflow of immigrants, legal or otherwise, you understand everything else about how these networks cover the news. Hence, Estrella TV’s freakout that President Joe Biden might secure the border in exchange for some more Ukraine cash.

The major evening network newscasts each melted down over former President’s “Day One Dictator” joke during a town hall event with Fox News host Sean Hannity, seizing on the remarks to further push a “threats to democracy” narrative. Only one of these networks was honest enough to show that the purpose of such coverage was to pushing Biden taking points.

It's one thing to hear our friend Curtis Houck refer to MSNBC’s Deadline White House as “Rich Liberal Wine Mom Story Hour”, but hoo boy, it’s entirely another to actually sit through an episode of this dreck. Beyond dreck, today's episode featured extremely dangerous rhetoric. 

During a recent episode of his weekly YouTube show, Univision President of News Daniel Coronell weighed in on the controversy surrounding the network’s interview of former President Donald Trump.

There’s been a lot of recent Acela Media and Professional Latinx outrage over 2024 presidential candidates doing what they perceive to be softball interviews with Spanish-language media. Case in point, the kerfuffle over former President Donald Trump’s interview with TelevisaUnivision. Not surprisingly, they don’t share the same concern for President Joe Biden’s interview with a radio network…

ABC senior anchor George Stephanopoulos has a habit of hectoring Republicans into answering whether they will vote for Donald Trump if he’s the 2024 GOP nominee, despite pending criminal charges against him. He tried that against former RNC chair Reince Priebus, and got promptly shut down.

On CBS Sunday Morning, correspondent John Dickerson sat down with former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who has a book to promote. But they also have a shared interest in pushing the idea of Republicans as authoritarians. Predictably, the interview was pillow-soft.
