In America, we'd like to think that we have a news media but, in fact, what we have is captured corporate propagandists passing themselves off to the public as news media. Anyone needing proof of this need look no further than ABC News Chief White Correspondent Mary Bruce’s interview, if we are to call it that, with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Down to the last few days before the election, CNN's Kasie Hunt has dropped any pretense of even-handedness, and has let her pro-Kamala persona show. Three days ago, we caught Kasie saying that Trump-hater par excellence David Frum's attacks on Trump were "correct." Today, Hunt was clearly miffed by Trump's entertaining, attention-attracting moves of working in a McDonald's and riding shotgun…

As the presidential campaign enters its final week, Laura Barron-Lopez, White House correspondent for the PBS News Hour, got the vote out for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, while on assignment on the Ellipse near the White House in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, covering Harris’s “closing argument” speech which Harris delivered later that evening.

As we move to the conclusion of this election cycle, there seems to be only one thing about which all Americans agree. That is, that something is very wrong in our nation. In the latest Gallup polling, only 22% say they are satisfied with the direction of the country. The highest this has been over the last 16 years was 45% back in February of 2020. So, despite change in party control over…

While CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s colleague Tony Dokoupil was never explicitly mentioned, he loomed over Colbert’s Wednesday interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates as the duo discussed reaction to his anti-Israel book on The Late Show. Coates, for his part, was unrepentant as he defended the decision to leave out any mention of terrorism when discussing the current situation in the West Bank.

With her tenure as anchor of the CBS Evening News coming to a close, Norah O’Donnell is now unburdened by what is, and is now openly and brazenly editorializing ahead of reporter packages. Former President Donald Trump’s response to President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters ‘garbage” was simply too much for O’Donnell to countenance.

If the tone of media coverage decided the election, it would be a landslide for Kamala Harris. The media have never more energetically taken a side for a candidate. MRC founder and president Brent Bozell and I discussed the latest MRC studies proving the worst campaign bias we've ever documented, not only on TV news, but even on TV "comedy" shows. It's a "Brent Bozell Show" crossover episode…

Despite its alleged concern for the decline of civility in politics, the New York Times is actually all in on political slander and name-calling lately -- when it’s in the service of defeating Donald Trump. For the second time in under two weeks, the paper reveled in the party’s new tactic of throwing the dirty word “fascist” at Trump to see if it would stick (not that they didn’t do so before…

In a pre-Halloween hearing in the $1 billion defamation suit against them, on Wednesday, CNN tried to bring their Sharia law defense back from the grave. Judge William Scott Henry of Florida’s 14th Circuit Court called it “a circular argument” that wanted pity for the Afghanis while implying they were criminals for escaping the Taliban. The network’s lawyer ultimately argued that “half-ass”…

While ABC’s Good Morning America was off denying reality Wednesday that President Biden’s comment referring to Trump “supporters” as “garbage,” CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today were pained to admit he’s “undermin[ing]” and “drawing attention away from Kamala Harris’s closing message” by “courting controversy” with an “unforced error.”

Democratic vice presidential nominee and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) surfaced Wednesday morning for two different broadcast network news interviews that couldn’t have been any more different between ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings. While ABC co-host and former George Stephanopoulos kissed up to Walz with a campaign strategy session, CBS held him to account for President Biden’s smear…

Aaron Blake is a "senior political reporter" at The Washington Post, for a section they call "The Fix." Well, this pathetic attempt to help Joe Biden paper over what he quite obviously said is an attempt at "the fix," but it doesn't work.

Republicans clearly believe that transgender-related liberal culture war nonsense is a winning issue for them, which means that PolitiFact views it as their job to defend Democrats from the true attacks on their record. On Tuesday, PolitiFact was it again, rating Nevada Republican Senate challenger Sam Brown “false” for correctly stating Sen. Jacky Rosen supports allowing men to compete in…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough tries to laugh off Joe Biden having called Trump supporters "garbage." Scarborough puts on a big, fake, smile and chuckles in reaction.
