Debates

On CNN's State of the Union, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) tells host Jake Tapper he continues to believe that Joe Biden would have been capable of serving out a second term, at which time he would have been 86 years old.

Well, it turns out we were right when, a year ago to the day in our 2023 most-read blogs list, we said
“2024 is bound to be not only one of the most monumental years in American history.” In 2024, you, our loyal NewsBusters readers, ate up our studies showing the liberal media’s propaganda campaign to save the Biden presidency then Harris’s candidacy and bury any chance of a Trump…

As the Trace Adkins song goes, you’re going to miss this, you’re going to want this back. Deep down, that’s surely the way at least some feel about the bizarre, entertaining, meandering, only occasionally informative, and stammering White House press briefings in 2024 under Karine Jean-Pierre. With part one having covered 10 moments from January to May, this blog contains the second 10…

What exactly is it that you do here? On Thursday, that was the question National Review staff writer Jeffrey Blehar wondered of the establishment liberal media given the range of excuses from ignorant to purposeful coverup of not having been more dogged in exposing the President’s failing cognitive state.

Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris attended a town hall hosted by Univision at Las Vegas, Nevada. Former President Donald Trump’s was scheduled earlier in the week but postponed due to potential impacts from Hurricane Milton. Trump’s town hall was rescheduled for tonight, at Univision headquarters in Doral. FL.

Vice President Kamala Harris continued her tour of friendly interviews on Tuesday as she joined CBS’s Stephen Colbert for four segments and a beer on The Late Show.

On Fox & Friends Saturday, co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy devoted a segment to informing viewers of how extreme Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz's support for abortion has been in his time as governor of Minnesota. She brought aboard aboard pro-life activist Melissa Ohden, who often speaks of how she survived after her mother attempted to have her aborted. 

HBO’s John Oliver voiced his disapproval of those who praised the vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz for its civility on Sunday’s installment of Last Week Tonight. Oliver wondered “why do manners matter” because the GOP ticket is proposing a list of things he does not like.

After Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz, PolitiFact was at it again, rating Vance false 91 percent of the time and Walz false 29 percent of the time. While defenders of professional fact-checking may say, “Aha, that proves Vance lies more,” there were problems with PolitiFact’s assessments of both candidates.

On Wednesday, CBS’s After Midnight host Taylor Tomlinson claimed to have a rather Freudian reaction to Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. As Vance attempted to fact-check the CBS moderators’ fact-check, he had his microphone cut, leading Tomlinson to claim, “Yes, I masturbated to this.”

You can tell what the Regime Media thinks about a debate or other candidate reaction by what they report afterwards. To their credit, NBC Nightly News was the only network evening newscast to report on Democrat vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz’s (MN) struggle to explain his misrepresentations (lies, actually) with regard to being in China during the Tiananmen Square crackdown…

The CBS veep debate wasn't bad as ABC, but the moderators quickly broke their own promise not to "fact check" the candidates (meaning the Republicans). After weeks of portraying Vance as a woman-hating, immigrant-baiting monster, Vance confounded CBS and other outlets by sticking to civil discourse and hitting soft notes for swing voters.

On his post-debate 2Way, Mark Halperin declares JD Vance the "runaway winner" of the VP debate, describing it as a "total mismatch" and "overall drubbing." Halperin also criticizes the pro-Walz bias of the CBS moderators, Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan.

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings predictably had robust coverage of the vice presidential debate it hosted between Republican Senator JD Vance and Democratic Governor Tim Walz (MN), but it was often colored by the condescending, elitist, and partisan analysis by chief political analyst John Dickerson, who predicted “fuel is out there” in the form of desire for “violence” by Trump supporters…
