Campaigns & Elections

In a fawning, nearly three-minute long report on NBC’s Today show, correspondent Sheinelle Jones touted Sex and the City actress and “progressive activist” Cynthia Nixon announcing her candidacy for New York governor, providing a primary challenge to incumbent Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo.

A week ago, as seen in a video which gained some national attention on Monday, New York Congressman Thomas Suozzi, answering a constituent's question about President Donald Trump, suggested that "the Second Amendment comes in" as a factor "if the president was to ignore the courts." Eight years ago, the press treated a statement by Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle referring to "Second…

Hillary Clinton’s rant in India about Trump voters being motivated by racism, sexism, and loathing of Indian-Americans who succeed is being carefully protected by the “fact checkers” at PolitiFact and Snopes.com. Despite topping their website with the question “Did Hillary Clinton call Wisconsin ‘backwards?," PolitiFact failed to issue a “Truth-o-Meter” ruling. It reported Gov. Scott Walker tried…

In an interview with Maryland Senator and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Chris Van Hollen during the 9:00 a.m. ET hour of Friday’s CNN Newsroom, anchor John Berman actually pressed the liberal lawmaker on whether Pennsylvania congressional candidate Conor Lamb’s decision to run against Nancy Pelosi and not attack President Trump would be a model for other Democrats in the 2018…

Over the weekend, bitter also-ran Hillary Clinton traveled to India to complain about losing to Donald Trump again. The story broke on Monday, but the complaints apparently weren’t jarring enough to disturb the Democrats at the networks. On Tuesday, Washington Post political blogger Aaron Blake reported it as "incendiary” and “pretty remarkable.” Only Fox News agreed.

CNN Newsroom host John Berman opened the show Wednesday with a "Kaboom!", intended to serve as a "not so dramatic re-enactment of the political explosion that went off last night." The political explosion Berman referred to was Democrat Conor Lamb's strong performance and potential victory in the special election for Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District, a district President Trump carried…

All three of Wednesday’s network morning shows celebrated Democrat Conor Lamb’s apparent narrow victory over Republican Rick Saccone in Pennsylvania’s congressional special election, cheering the “incredibly exciting” race as a “blow” to Republicans and President Trump. However, buried in NBC’s Today show coverage was a four-second acknowledgment that Lamb actually ran against House Democratic…

The special election for Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district between Rick Saccone (R) and Connor Lamb (D) was two days away and the liberal media was set for it to be a victory in their favor. A top story on each of ABC’s and NBC’s Sunday morning news programs was dedicated to playing up the possibility that the Democrats could beat out Republicans in their own district, which would help…

In the last minutes of Wednesday in New York City, CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert unleashed his loathing of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and his re-election campaign, mocking a musical commercial mocking the nickname of his Democrat opponent ‘Beto’ O’Rourke.

On his radio show Thursday night, Mark Levin grew angry at how the "Praetorian guard media" are protecting the Obama team from the emerging story of how they unmasked Trump campaign officials and leaked word of their association with Russians to their media buddies. He said it was an “absolute disgrace” that they protect Obama, not report on him. “They’re not upholding the First Amendment and…

CBS’s desperation for Oprah Winfrey to challenge Donald Trump in 2020 escalated to ridiculous lengths on Tuesday night. Stephen Colbert featured “God” to encourage the liberal talk show host to run. Appearing on Late Night, “God” wore Oprah 2020 apparel and seemed to worship the host: “Hmm, How do I make this clearer, Oprah?... Oprah Winfrey 2020! Yes, she can!” 

During Wednesday's edition of CNN's New Day, co-host Alisyn Camerota treated Democratic Senate Candidate Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) to a love fest. 

On Monday, the day before primary elections in Texas, Paul J. Weber at the Associated Press characterized Donald Trump's Texas supporters as "diehards," and cited a cooked Trump approval poll published by Quinnipiac to understate the President's popularity.

In 2007, CNN sent reporters to Indonesia to defend presidential candidate Barack Obama against charges he attended a Muslim madrassa in grade school. Their screen read “DEBUNKING A SMEAR.” But in 2018, CNN sent a reporter to Thailand to spread unproven gossip: a “self-described sex coach” offering “inside information on Russian’s election meddling” in 2016. What proof does she have? CNN didn't…
