2024 Presidential

On his eponymous Saturday morning show, anti-gun MSNBC host Ali Velshi gave a commentary against the gun rights portion of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 agenda. After taking the opportunity to spread the typical misinformation about guns in America, he brought on anti-gun activist Kris Brown of the Brady Campaign to further trash gun rights activists.

Using the media's coverage of Donald Trump’s three debates with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 as a guide, expect the press on Tuesday night to adore Kamala Harris’s performance, while deriding Trump as someone out of a “third world” “banana republic.”

Beware when PBS brings on a "nonpartisan" expert on election integrity, and no one mentions Kamala Harris at all. On the September 3 PBS NewsHour, deeply biased White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez brought on David Becker for a segment titled "How Trump has made election lies a key feature of his campaign." But this wasn't just about Trump denying he lost the election in 2020. 

On Tuesday's Amanpour & Company on PBS and CNN International, Hari Sreenivasan was seen interviewing a leftist author who accuses the Supreme Court of enabling Republicans to racially discriminate and rig elections in their favor. His book is titled Antidemocratic: Inside the Far Right's 50-Year Plot to Control American Elections.

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Symone Sanders Townsend made an explicit call for violence against Trump. When MSNBC analyst Basil Smikle suggested that Kamala Harris shouldn't descend into "the gutter" with Trump, Sanders took issue: "Well, sometimes when they go low, you gotta kick 'em. You gotta -- boom! -- pop 'em in the shin real quick. And maybe we will see…

Well of course. Here’s the headline from Fox News: "NYT editorial board member says it's 'silly' for journalists to hold Harris and Trump equally accountable." 

On Friday, former Vice President Dick Cheney and daughter and former Rep. Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris while the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Donald Trump. For ABC, NBC, and CBS's Saturday morning shows, the former was a “huge” deal while the latter was portrayed as ironic given Trump’s legal controversies or simply ignored.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s week of liberal guests concluded with Rep. Eric Swalwell as Kimmel asked such thought-provoking questions as “Ted Cruz, like, is he eating the urinal cakes?” For his part, Swalwell saw something sinister in Republicans being nice to him.

In the Washington Examiner, reporter and columnist Salena Zito reported that Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz toured Pennsylvania for photo ops in Lancaster, Moon Township, Fayette County, Pittsburgh and Erie and almost entirely avoided questions from the press. The headline was "Walz’s visit to Pennsylvania was heavy on cream and light on scrutiny."

Hours after the Associated Press fired off a since-deleted viral tweet falsely claiming 2024 GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance shrugged off school shootings like Wednesday’s in Georgia as “a fact of life,” Friday’s CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today joined in this a blatant case of election interference by touting the “backlash” to Vance’s comment...which was actually about…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert turned The Late Show into The Democratic Strategy Show on Thursday as he welcomed Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly to the program to promote his new children’s book and Kamala Harris 2024.

Thursday’s edition of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! highlighted just how far the eponymous host is willing to go to boost Democrats this election cycle. During his monologue, Kimmel featured a satirical ad from My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, played by James Adomian, endorsing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz that featured plenty of juvenile insults and musings about Cruz’s sex life. Later, Kimmel welcomed…

News consumers are often unaware of just how friendly the power players in Washington are, and those relationships are often undisclosed. A Netflix show called Somebody Feed Phil underlined that CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg aren't just anti-Trump allies.

The CBS Evening News closed out their newscast with a commentary piece on the most recent school shooting in Winder, Georgia. The editorial was high on emotion, but offered little in the way of solutions beyond calls to “do something”.
