2024 Presidential

Having clearly not received the memo that the time just prior to and after Christmas is usually reserved for near-endless travel and weather segments, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings led off with over seven and a half minutes on the Colorado Supreme Court kicking former President Trump off its 2024 primary ballot and featured former Obama official-turned-supposedly-objective CBS News…

Bill Adair, a founder of PolitiFact, has a new piece at Nieman Lab complaining that "fact-checking is failing," that the old standard of posting your fact checks on a website isn’t working. The old standard of "informing democracy" isn't working, and he’s upset that conservatives and Republicans don’t trust fact checkers. But the problem isn’t their obvious tilt, it’s that their suppression…

The liberals of CNN This Morning were in a very good mood on Wednesday after the far-left Colorado Supreme Court ruled to boot former President Trump off the 2024 ballot. Instead of questioning the legality of a state-level court invoking the 14^th Amendment for a federal position, they celebrated the ruling as “a historic level of accountability for January 6^th…

The New York Times beclowned itself by twisting the results from its own poll to suppress the reality that Americans are frustrated with President Joe Biden largely because his economy stinks. 

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough is surprisingly skeptical about the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court barring Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot there on the grounds that he is barred from office under the 14th Amendment for having committed insurrection against the Constitution. Scarborough suggests that a finding of insurrection should be made by a jury convicting him of…

The evening network newscasts delivered their breaking news reports on the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot with little substance, but plenty of emotional impact. 

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow might as well have been standing in front of a corkboard with newspaper clippings and red twine during Monday’s edition of her eponymous show. The ranting Maddow opened her once-a-week show with an over 25-minute screed where she stitched together a bizarre argument that tied the recent increase in anti-Semitism in the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan (not the pro-Hamas crowd),…

During a panel discussion regarding the impeachment inquiry against Hunter Biden, former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki let loose on what she (and probably her former comrades at the White House) think of Hunter’s Capitol press conference prior to blowing off his scheduled closed-door testimony: to wit, very little.

The Acela Media are still abuzz over a controversial segment of former President Donald Trump’s remarks in Durham, New Hampshire, and two of the major evening network newscasts continued to parrot Biden campaign talking points in a scramble to turn Trump into Literally Hitler.

CNN carnival barker Jim Acosta decided to have a little powwow with longtime Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg while filling as host of Monday’s Inside Politics. While Acosta was desperately trying to hang on to the White House’s false talking point that the economy was all sunshine and roses ahead of an election year, Greenberg told him he needed to “get out of the bubble” and…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough scaremongers that one year from now, if Trump is elected, "democracy could be over." He mocks as "clowns" media critics who say that the liberal media is helping Trump by calling him a "fascist."

NBC News has decided to join the NCAA, academia, and corporate retailers among the many institutions now complicit in the intentional erasure of women. Among the panel of Democratic women in Macomb County, Michigan featured on Meet The Press convened to discuss their reluctant support of Joe Biden, a trans woman. 

ABC’s Jon Karl sat down with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, fresh off her endorsement by New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu for that state’s presidential primary. But although the venue was New Hampshire, the tone and tenor of the questions were pure Acela, and Haley made sure to communicate that to Karl.

Today’s “powerhouse panel” on ABC This Week inadvertently showed the widening gulf between what is top-of-mind for the Acela Media versus what is on the minds of the actual American electorate. In particular, this exchange between host Jon Karl and former RNC chair Reince Priebus on the general election suitability of Donald Trump.
