2020 Presidential

The biggest threat to the Constitution in 2024 is the “lawfare” being waged against Donald Trump — and the Supreme Court is as much its target as Trump is. Consider attempts in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere to ban Trump from the ballot. The architects of these efforts are counting on most Americans not knowing how presidential primaries and general elections actually work.

Since 2008, the NewsBusters archives shows the intensive political coverage surrounding the New Hampshire primary has been a chance for journalists to take gratuitous potshots at conservative candidates, while liberals (often referred to as “moderates”) are treated to rock-star treatment.

Reacting to Monday’s results in the low-turnout Iowa caucuses, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings opened its second hour by demanding 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley to not only drop out, but haranguing her with the usual issues that only the liberal media care about as opposed to, you know, real Americans: the 2020 election and demanding Republicans say Donald Trump is “unfit” to…

In coverage of past Iowa caucuses, the media elite have mocked religious conservatives like Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Ted Cruz, yet always seem to be thrilled by their Democratic choices, spinning radicals as “moderates.”

On Morning Joe, despite being mocked for it, Joe Scarborough doubles down on his false-modesty shtick of describing himself as a "simple country lawyer." He deploys the term three times in the course of one segment, and also describes himself as having fallen off a turnip truck. "MSNBC Republican" Elise Jordan says that, given the supposedly "insane and inane" things he says, Donald Trump "…

When preparing to ask someone about a document that bears their name, such as a Supreme Court filing, before attempting to grill them on national TV over the aforementioned document, it is always a good idea to READ the document beforehand. But, alas, CBS’s Margaret Brennan did no such thing before attempting to grill Speaker Mike Johnson on the 2021 Texas amicus brief filed before the United…

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, former Obama aide Ian Bassin proclaims that he has "high standards," but goes on to proclaim Biden's campaign speech near Valley Forge "absolutely outstanding."  Among the things Bassin praised Biden for was being "alive."

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski challenges Ken Block, who had been hired by the Trump campaign to investigate claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, on his decision to make all his findings, which were contrary to Trump's interest, public.

On Thursday’s CBS Mornings, co-host Tony Dokoupil surprisingly brought the heat against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas amid the latest wave in the ongoing Biden border crisis, calling out Mayorkas’s anger-filled attacks against Republicans and reminding him that his boss — President Biden — campaigned on encouraging illegal immigration.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough mocks Speaker Mike Johnson's southern accent, although in fact Johnson does not have a southern accent. Scarborough also mockingly calls Johnson, "Jesus's man in Congress." Mika Brzezinski gloats at the prospect that Rudy will not have "a penny left to his name" when the two plaintiffs in the defamation case are "done with him."

On Katie Phang's MSNBC show, Von DeBose, the lawyer for the election workers who won a $148 judgment against Rudy Giuliani, claims that would "trade it" to get their former lives back. 

For the liberal media, any occasion is good if it can be used to bash Donald Trump. And so it was that on Thursday's Morning Joe, historian and occasional Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham used the occasion of December 7th, the 82nd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, to draw a strained analogy to the challenge facing America in the face of Trump with call outs to threats…

Colby Hall, the founding editor of left-leaning Mediaite.com, reports that Brian Stelter's new Fox-trashing book Network of Lies is selling well below expectations, like a Disney blockbuster. It's a dud! 

Brian Stelter’s second book raining fire on Fox – Network of Lies – is coming out next week, but he appeared on MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Tonight on Thursday night to promote it. Somehow, in the seven-plus minutes of Fox-bashing, they didn’t discuss Stelter’s old network CNN having its freelancer literally kissed by a Hamas terrorist. That’s an inconvenient truth for Mr. Facts…
