Congress

With it having been six days since the last White House press briefing, there was litany of topics Tuesday for the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre and, needless to say, she dealt with them using her trademark dodges and inability to grasp the English language. Unsurprisingly, Fox’s Peter Doocy, Fox Business’s Edward Lawrence and New York Post’s Steven Nelson challenged Jean-Pierre while others…

As NewsBusters has documented, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their Monday morning and evening news shows to run crisis communications for the Biden administration and U.S. Senate to promote their border deal. By Tuesday morning, it turned towards shaming Republicans as they whined “the vibes in Washington are not good” as Donald Trump “told” Republicans to ensure they “tanked” the deal.
 

With the senators behind the bipartisan border deal having finally unveiled the text of their bill on Sunday night, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC went all out on their Monday morning news shows to fluff the pillows of dealmakers, giving few to any details beyond cursory allusions to give it maximum appeal and painting GOP opposition as driven by former President Trump.

President Biden offered a deal on the border to congressional Republicans that they could refuse. To their credit, they did. The president, speaking from South Carolina, said he would shut down the border “right now,” if Congress passed the proposed bipartisan deal now in front of them. The proposed deal, Biden said, would “give me as president, the emergency authority to shut down the border…

On the liberal broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC, the adversarial rhetoric continued to ratchet up on Wednesday from Tuesday night against the House GOP’s efforts to impeach Biden Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas over the border crisis as the networks used their morning news shows to screech there’s “no evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors” and the impeachment is leaving the…

After having been indifferent toward the House Republican push to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC turned up the kvetching on Monday night. That continued Tuesday on their flagship morning news shows with gripes about the “splitscreen” of a “historic” impeachment while the Senate’s “work[ing] with” him on the border and how, in turn, the…

On Monday, the border crisis and Sunday’s Iranian proxy attack that killed three American soldiers dominated the White House press briefing and, amid over a dozen liberal reporters asking process questions on Iran and open-ended questions on the Senate border deal, there were a rare few who actually pressed the administration on their weakness in the Middle East and the border deal that has…

During Tuesday’s White House press briefing, the Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy reupped his focus from Monday on the never-ending border crisis except, this time, he did battle with the National Security Council’s John Kirby who, to his credit, has a grasp of the English language. This time, the two threw down over a Supreme Court ruling Monday afternoon that will allow Customs and Border…

While much of the questions during Friday afternoon’s White House press briefing centered on the Middle East, abortion, and Ukraine, Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich stuck to the border and got the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to play dumb on a basic question: does the White House think the border is secure? She arrived at that direction question by way of a recent House resolution: “…

The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed a major federal official in an ongoing quest to expose shady federal censorship actions.

Wednesday’s White House press briefing saw a predictable drop-off in hardballs on the latest Biden administration scandal of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin going MIA for days with what he later revealed were a series of hospital stays for colon cancer. Thankfully, there were a smattering of questions about Hunter Biden’s latest D.C. stunt as he appeared in-person for a House Oversight…

With migrants now flooding our Southwestern border at a reported 10,000 seeking entry daily, it is essential that we take steps to crystalize a national immigration policy. Republicans insist that the $74 billion in funds that the Biden administration is asking in aid for Ukraine and Israel be part of a larger package that deals with border security and comprehensive immigration policy.…

On Thursday’s CBS Mornings, co-host Tony Dokoupil surprisingly brought the heat against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas amid the latest wave in the ongoing Biden border crisis, calling out Mayorkas’s anger-filled attacks against Republicans and reminding him that his boss — President Biden — campaigned on encouraging illegal immigration.

On Wednesday's PBS NewsHour, host William Brangham neutrally noted the launch by House Republicans of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden. But PBS fell short with its partisan pick for an expert “impeachment expert” to explain things: "One of the embarrassing things that happened at that last hearing is, it became obvious to everybody that there was no evidence of…
