Back to the Mat: Nets Leave Biden Docs Behind to Hit GOP on Debt Limit
CBS dropped the Biden documents scandal on Wednesday morning and was followed that night by NBC, so it was only a matter of time before ABC did the same. Sure enough, Thursday’s Good Morning America put it out to pasture. Instead, the three networks resumed spinning for the Biden administration as they slammed House Republicans for refusing to lift the debt ceiling, creating a “…
CBS Waves Goodbye to Biden Docs to Screech About MTG Being on Panels
Wednesday’s CBS Mornings was the first broadcast network flagship morning or evening show to bid farewell to President Biden’s classified documents scandal with zero formal coverage (aside from a tag in the show’s Eye Opener from two late-night comedy shows). Instead, their political segment huffed about House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) restoring two House Republicans to committees…
ABC Touts Biden WH ‘Firing Back’ at Republicans on Biden Docs Scandal
ABC’s Good Morning America fought a surprisingly lonely battle Tuesday in carrying water for President Biden and the White House amid their classified documents scandal, repeatedly touting the administration as “firing back” at Republicans wanting to learn more and making requests of the regime because...Donald Trump.
ABC Frets GOP Is ‘Pouncing on’ Biden Over Docs, Hype No Visitor Logs
The Biden documents scandal entered its second week Monday and, on the flagship broadcast network morning news shows, ABC’s Good Morning America remained in a defensive mode for Team Biden by repeatedly insisting the White House will be cooperative and transparent with the special counsel, fretting “Republicans...are now pouncing,” and boasting Republicans will never be able to find…
On PBS, Journos Label House GOP As All 'Very Extreme,' Unlike Dems
On Tuesday's Amanpour & Co., PBS put on display the liberal media's tendency to view nearly all elected Republicans as "extreme," but not so much with Democrats.
ABC Frets Docs Probe ‘Interrupts’ Biden’s ‘Good Run’ as CBS Hammers WH
Friday morning’s broadcast network news shows spanned the spectrum of effectiveness on the growing scandal with classified documents having been found in possession of President Biden’s (faux) think tank office and his Wilmington, Delaware home. ABC’s Good Morning America played the role of liberal spin artists, NBC’s Today tried to bore you to sleep, and CBS Mornings…
Reining in Government Spending? Let’s Get Real
Behind the refusal of the House Republican Party’s so-called freedom caucus to vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is the caucus’s skepticism that he will actually “rein in government spending.” I’ve never quite understood why all Republicans do not belong to the Freedom Caucus. If the Republican Party supports low taxes, light regulations and strong national security, why is a Freedom…
On MSNBC, NYT's Peters Frets GOP Congressional Investigations
Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's Andrea Mitchell Reports, New York Times political reporter Jeremy Peters worried that the Republican-controlled Congress will hold investigations into the Joe Biden administration that will "make Benghazi look like child's play."
WashPost Opinion Shocker: 'What the House GOP Rebels Were Right About'
After a week of leftist-media hazing about a “hard right” faction holding Kevin McCarthy’s bid for House Speaker “hostage,” it’s a breath of fresh air to find Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty acknowledging that there were principled reasons to object in a piece entitled "What the House GOP rebels were right about." It turns out anyone can see Congress has a broken system,…
MSNBC's Ruhle Whines GOP Voted to Protect Babies in Botched Abortions
On MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, host Stephanie Ruhle opened her Wednesday night program to whine that House Republicans voted to protect babies born in botched abortions. She went on to huff that there’s “no state that allows any doctor to kill a newborn baby.” If that’s the case, then why does Ruhle apparently oppose a law preventing the killing of a newborn?
James Comer SCHOOLS Chuck Todd on Importance of Hunter Investigation
On Sunday's Meet the Press, moderator, and Democrat activist Chuck Todd whined to House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer that the necessary oversight that Comer and his committee will be conducting will look "more partisan than professional." Comer proceeded to take Todd to school about how that is far from the case.
Wishful Thinking! Todd Predicts GOP House Will Help Re-Elect Biden
During NBC’s Sunday Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd joined host Willie Geist to discuss the past week which of course included the days-long Speaker election in which Kevin McCarthy emerged victorious. Todd used his appearance to make a prediction that is both filled with wishful thinking and a lack of nuance in his analysis.
Macho Joe: I'd Die Before Negotiating Like 'Snowflake' McCarthy
On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says he'd die before negotiating with the conservative holdouts like "snowflake" Kevin McCarthy is doing.
