2024 Congressional

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, the three co-hosts and two guests all expressed support for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to supplant Gerry Connolly as the ranking minority member on the House Oversight Committee. Julian Castro hailed AOC's "fighting spirit." Michael Steele and Symone Sanders took some not-so-subtle shots at Nancy Pelosi for her support of Connolly. 

This past week, several MSNBC hosts pushed a sore loser narrative that the Republican House majority was won because of "rigged" congressional districts, with one host even claiming Republicans had been "cheating basically."

As a taxpayer-funded TV network, PBS should not be favoring one side over the other. But MRC analysts studying the use of labels over 18 months on the PBS News Hour found they were 27 times more likely to identify an "extreme" on the right than they would on the left. There were 162 extreme-right labels and only six extreme-left descriptions. 

On Monday's Morning Joe, MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough proclaimed that "the only reason" that Republicans will have a majority in the House of Representatives is because North Carolina Republicans "rigged" the state's congressional districts to take three seats from Democrats. The MSNBC host did not mention that there are plenty of states (California, for example) where Republicans…

According to HBO’s Bill Maher, election denial is something Republicans do. Fortunately, Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham was also present on Friday’s edition of Real Time to point out Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey is doing that right now. An unhappy Maher could only rant that “no one gives a fuck” about Casey because he is just a senator.

Americans struggling to pay bills? Record credit card debt? High grocery prices? Higher cost of living? No problem! A Washington Post columnist is idiotically claiming Americans are better off economically than they were four years ago. 

It is odd that a website that fancies itself as a fact-checking organization would believe that if you repeat a falsehood enough times it eventually becomes true, but that is what PolitiFact is doing with Democrats and transgender sports. In a Thursday article, PolitiFact defended Montana Sen. Jon Tester’s vote that failed to protect the competitive integrity of women’s sports by claiming such…

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…

The liberal media have continually circled back throughout the 2024 campaign to the impact of Nebraska’s proportional allotment of electoral votes and the fact that its second congressional district (and thus one of the state’s four votes) is purple in its partisan breakdown and has swung between the two parties. But ABC’s Good Morning America took it to a whole other level Thursday…

Comedy Central's The Daily Show took its outrage at Republicans to another level on Thursday as it welcomed Laverne Cox to the show to rant at the GOP and “its transphobia,” which included the accusation that the party’s $65 million ad campaign is contributing to transgender people committing suicide.

On Monday night House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) lashed out at CBS on Twitter for how they sliced and diced his interview on Sunday's Face The Nation. He tweeted about how CBS edited out five "important minutes" out of a 15-minute interview -- and he exposed the video edits. 

PolitiFact is at it again. For the second day in a row, the website has condemned Senate Republicans’ Senate Leadership Fund for an attack ad against Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown. On Thursday, they twisted themselves into a rhetorical pretzel as they rated the PAC “false” for claiming Brown supports men being able to compete in women’s sports, and on Friday they did it again, claiming it is “mostly…

The Senate GOP's The Senate Leadership Fund recently released an ad condemning Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown for voting to allow men to compete in women’s sports. On Thursday, PolitiFact slapped a “false” label on the claim, but it had to allow Brown to have it both ways multiple times to do so.

The Arizona Republic's coverage of the Arizona PBS debate exemplifies media bias, according to this blog. Despite Democrat Ruben Gallego's absence, the article by Ronald J. Hansen focuses heavily on critiquing Kari Lake, who attended. The headline omits Gallego's no-show, mentioned only briefly later, while Hansen quotes a Gallego campaign spokesperson, making it appear as an indirect debate…
