The cast of ABC’s The View circled the wagons on Tuesday to express how “pissed off” they are that some people are calling for President Joe Biden to step aside while downplaying his lousy debate performance as the result of what happens when you’re 81 years old or when you’re “trying so hard to tell the truth.” Even co-hosts who were more open to discussing Biden’s issues were quick…

After a couple of weeks of vacation, the full slate of late night comedy shows returned on Monday to reveal their reactions to President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance and subsequent interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. While nobody called for Biden to step aside, there were definitely calls for him to step up his game because democracy is allegedly at stake.

During their Monday morning newscasts, the White House reporters on ABC, CBS, and NBC struggled with the internal Democrat debate over Biden. All three networks described President Biden as “defiant” but touted him for campaigning and traveling to other states.

After a weeklong hiatus The View is back, and has plenty to say to make up for lost time. Following a Democratic wave of panic which finally acknowledged the mental and physical state of President Biden, all five co-hosts took to the air to lay out their liberal opinions. They landed on both sides of the internal Democrat squabble.

Statistics-based journalist-pollster Nate Silver, who previously worked at the New York Times and ABC News, had some internal insight into the media bias debate, saying out loud what we at NewsBusters know well, in his Monday post “Blaming the media is what got Democrats into this mess.” (The mess being President Biden’s disastrous debate performance and the feigned shock from the…

The New York Times issued a 2,200-word Sunday front-page encomium by White House correspondent Erica Green, in support of struggling President Biden’s suddenly significant second-in-command: “Kamala Harris Has Stepped Up. If Biden Falters, Can She Lead?”  Green tried to make the case that Harris, a gaffe-machine and figure of mockery on the right, is ready to take over the leadership…

To close out her interview of Senator JD Vance (R-OH), NBC’s Kristen Welker trotted out the tired election acceptance question asked of every Republican appearing on an Acela Media Sunday talk show, and especially of Trump vice presidential shortlisters. 

As each major media network has turned to the crisis surrounding President Joe Biden’s age and potential dropout, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow took nearly two hours to interview and glorify adult film actress, Stormy Daniels. The interview consisted of softball questions, a reenactment of Daniels' time on the witness stand, and a general glorification of the porn star. Overall, the show was a clear…

The proverbial dam was showing some major cracks on Wednesday as more and more Democrats were publicly raising concerns or flat-out calling for President Biden to step aside and leave the race. The flat spin the Biden campaign found itself in provided for a major opportunity to expose how the liberal media had attempted damage control before things really went into freefall. For instance, NBC…

The Daily Signal’s Friday scoop, “Judge in Trump Trial Gets Risk Assessment by Hostile Psychiatrist,” was timely, considering Trump opponent Biden’s obvious mental decline. It also may have triggered metaphorical PTSD in close readers of the New York Times. The name of that “hostile psychiatrist” is Bandy X. Lee, and until her irresponsible diagnosis of political figures from…

Following the long awaited Supreme Court decision regarding former President Trump’s limited immunity, the progressive media began yet another doomsday diatribe. On MSNBC’s 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle and her co-panelists hit the panic button, claiming that the case allowed for a president like Trump to become a “king,” that there are “practically no limits whatsoever,” and that Trump “can…

The broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each spent a chunk of their Tuesday morning newscasts tearing at the fabric of American intuitions by stoking fear of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling limiting presidential immunity. Amid those reports, something interesting happened on CBS Mornings as legal correspondent Jan Crawford slammed the brakes on Democratic Party donor and CBS co-…

On Monday, the liberal media were so desperate to paint the U.S. Supreme Court’s limited immunity ruling as a 100-percent-win for former President Trump that CNN seemingly threw critical thinking out the window. Liberal activist and commentator Van Jones added to that chorus by suggesting the highest court in the land just gave presidents “a license to thug” and lamented that they gave too…

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court released their ruling on the hotly contested issue of presidential immunity. The ruling was limited in that presidents had immunity for acts done in an official capacity under the office but certain acts – particularly those done outside the office of president – were not. But CNN’s Jake Tapper, who’s at the center of a $1 billion defamation suit against CNN,…
