2024 Presidential

It’s an intriguing parallel: Father and daughter Republican political figures Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney, insulted as warmongers and chicken hawks by different political parties, twenty years apart. But the coverage in the New York Times couldn’t have been more different. When Donald Trump attacked Republican turned Kamala Harris supporter Liz Cheney as a “radical warhawk,” he was…

Shades of Joe Biden in 2012, telling a largely black audience that Mitt Romney's "gonna put y'all back in chains." On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele teed up Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a member of The Squad, to suggest that Trump would take America back to the era of Jim Crow. Pressley upped the ante, saying: "We're on the precipice of going back again to Jim Crow—…

The Democratic Party, which accuses Republicans of trying to subvert confidence in the electoral process, is oddly reluctant to actually ensure that only citizens are allowed to vote. The press, including taxpayer-supported PBS and NPR, are helping the Democrats make that case, with skeptical coverage of the Supreme Court ruling that Virginia can “purge” noncitizens from the state’s voter…

Jeff Bezos wrote "Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose." On Friday, the media fought reality in claiming Donald Trump threatened Liz Cheney with death.

During Friday’s edition of CBS Mornings, White House correspondent Nancy Cordes falsely accused Donald Trump of musing “about executing Liz Cheney” the previous night. Not only did Cordes pervert Trump’s words, she used the misrepresentation to claim that they affirm Kamala Harris’s argument that “he is a wannabe autocrat bent on revenge.”

HBO’s Bill Maher scolded the media on Friday’s edition of Real Time Overtime for their claims that Donald Trump called for former Rep. Liz Cheney to be shot. Maher’s rebuke was not out of any love for Trump, but a demand that the media not “lie to me” because the real context of Trump’s actual remarks was something that “hippies used to say.”

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio will pounce on any cute anti-Trump angles they can find in the final days of this campaign. On Friday, NPR political reporter Susan Davis posted this beaut at NPR.org – “Meet the Democrats using porn ads to convince Trump voters to stay home.”

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt stormed off Friday’s edition of Washington Post Live and resigned his columnist position shortly afterwards after liberal associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed he didn’t “appreciate being lectured” after Hewitt called out fellow panelist Ruth Marcus’s fake news about Donald Trump. Hewitt gave Capehart his wish, “I won’t come back, Jonathan. I’m…

The liberal papers and TV networks are not rushing to cover Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS for its dishonest clip job of their Kamala Harris interview. They most likely consider it a stunt like riding in a garbage truck, as Trump trying to refocus attention on CBS sketchily refusing to release a full transcript.

New York Times reporter Rebecca Davis O’Brien made Wednesday’s edition with a poor-Kamala Harris “news” story, “Michelle Obama Decries a ‘Double Standard’ in Treatment of Trump and Harris.” It’s an echo of a recent front-page Times story blaming sexism for Harris’s failure to have the 30-point lead over Trump she’s apparently entitled to. It’s another sweaty attempt by the…

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and NBC’s Seth Meyers joined forces on Thursday’s taping of Late Night to scare viewers into believing that the election is “a matter of life and death” for women.

Recently, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson was celebrated on Morning Joe for writing a column which complained the media was rougher on Kamala Harris than Donald Trump. “Somehow, it is apparently baked into this campaign that Trump is allowed to talk and act like a complete lunatic while Harris has to be perfect in every way.”

On Wednesday's CNN This Morning, during a discussion of President Joe Biden's comments that seemed to call Donald Trump's supporters "garbage," CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston argued that the President would be better off to double down on his remarks instead of trying to take them back.

In a disgusting exchange on CNN NewsNight With Abby Phillip, disgraced former PBS host Tavis Smiley attributed JD Vance’s take on conservative men having more testosterone to “mommy issues”, as some in the panel laughed. It is interesting to see what passes for acceptable standards over at the former “world leader in news.”
