Campaigns & Elections

Tuesday’s CBS Mornings was the only (and first) flagship morning or evening newscast to mention the special election in Tennessee’s Seventh Congressional District to fill an R+10 seat, but the kudos should stop there as the two-minute-and-25-second piece was a puff piece for far-left Democrat — State Representative Aftyn Behn — by ignoring any number of incendiary statements she’s…

Kamala Harris and the DNC were repeatedly warned about the widespread fraud in Minnesota under the leadership of Democrat Governor Tim Walz during her 2024 presidential campaign, a group of nearly five hundred Minnesota Department of Human Services employees reported Monday.

Rahm Emanuel wants to take leadership of the Democratic Party and capture its nomination for president in 2028. He shares his thoughts in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. It’s the first time a Democrat has made me smile since President Bill Clinton announced in his 1996 State of the Union address that “The era of big government is over.” Emanuel has a stellar political resume that…

The lack of distinction between the late night comedy shows and the Democratic Party revealed itself again on Thursday as California Rep. Eric Swalwell received a standing ovation from ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s studio audience after he announced he is running for governor. Swalwell’s announcement came after Kimmel referred to President Trump as “horrifying” and a history of…

On Thursday, NBC’s Today refused to cover the indictment late Wednesday of Florida Democrat Congresswoman Shelia Cheriflus-McCormick for allegedly having stolen $5 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FMEA) to instead fill her campaign coffers.

Sunny Hostin, the staunchly racist co-host of ABC News’s The Views, was on a roll this week between declaring on Monday’s show that America was “founded” on “racism and slavery;” then doubling down on Tuesday’s edition of their Behind the Table podcast, saying “this country still is sickened” with such things.

Although the Friday Politico "Playbook" story about freshman Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin was ostensibly focused on her not very convincing engagement with Democrats "looking for clues about which path it should chart out of the electoral wilderness," it was more than obvious that it was in reality not very subtle hype for her as a presidential contender in 2028. 

Reading commentary about the recent elections, I thought of an observation of Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. Feynman said, “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” That is, we must always be disciplined in looking at things as they are and not bend to the temptation to see them as we wish them to be.

On Friday's The 11th Hour on MSNBC, panelists all went left in their choices for MVP of the week with praise going to the man who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent in D.C., the jury that acquitted him, and socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D-New  York).

Wednesday’s front-page story by Emma Fitzsimmons documented Zohran Mamdani’s big win in the New York City mayoral race, and both it and the paper’s live online election night coverage hammered home the pathetic liberal trope that criticism of Mamdani’s virulent anti-Israel actions amounted to “Islamophobia” – as if radical Islam is a harmless concept and not a direct terrorist threat, as…

Thursday’s edition of PBS’s Amanpour and Company went off the rails when guest host Bianna Golodryga welcomed The Atlantic staff writer David Graham to discuss supposed threats to next year’s midterm elections. The duo would muse about everything from Marines seizing ballot boxes to the idea that the elections will be the fake sort that you get in places like Russia, but no…

The Associated Press is doing its utmost to cast President Donald Trump as the bogeyman of America’s economic woes, despite having a sordid record of carrying water for the Bidenomics policies that put us in this mess to begin with.

It was a Democratic wave election, and the journalists went surfing. The amount of TV coverage of off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City was minimal this fall, perhaps because Democrats were feeling good about their chances and didn't want to give publicity to their opponents. Negative angles on Zohran Mamdani or Jay Jones were ignored or downplayed. MRCTV's Brittany…

The media's changing portrayal of Andrew Cuomo contrasts starkly from adoration during early Covid-19 to disdain after his career's decline, amid scandals. Once celebrated for leadership contrasting Trump's, Cuomo's fall shows how media favor can shift drastically if one defies the approved narrative. Critics now emphasize his bullying, suggesting media love hinges on alignment with their…
