MRC Poses the Question: Has NBC’s Welker Ever Been Weaker
NBC host Kristen Welker allowed Democrat Senate candidate Abdul el-Sayed to give lengthy, uninterrupted answers during an interview on Meet the Press.
Welker failed to confront the candidate with social media posts from his sister regarding family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The interview was framed in a way that offered el-Sayed an easy opportunity to dismiss Republican criticism as mere political attacks.
The soft questioning stands in sharp contrast to the constant interruptions and hostile pushing that former President Donald Trump faced during past appearances on the same program.
MRC Exposes How CBS and NBC Unquestioningly Accepted Democrat Candidate Explanation for Absence
CBS and NBC flagship morning programs covered the weeklong absence of Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico by accepting his explanation that he was home with the flu.
The elitist media networks dismissed online questions and GOP concerns regarding his whereabouts as nothing more than baseless rumors.
CBS News accepted security images provided by the candidate's campaign to present his account as completely verified facts.
The uncritical handling of this story demonstrates how elitist media networks protect favored political candidates from deeper scrutiny.
MRC Calls Out Elitist Media Networks Defended Representative Ilhan Omar Following Federal Raid
ABC, CBS, and NBC framed the federal search of Representative Ilhan Omar's home as an act of political retribution by the Trump administration.
Network correspondents emphasized long-standing Department of Justice norms against taking public action close to an election instead of focusing on the underlying criminal investigation into potential immigration fraud.
CBS Mornings minimized potential wrongdoing and initially omitted identifying Omar as a Democrat in its coverage.
Coverage across all three broadcast networks heavily featured statements from Omar and Democratic leaders asserting that law enforcement was being weaponized against political rivals.
