Political Scandals

After scores of COVID and Ukraine questions at Thursday’s White House press briefing, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann and Daily Mail’s Rob Crilly finally broke through with one question each about Hunter Biden in light of a New York Times report that all but admitted the New York Post was right in 2020 about his infamous laptop. Unfortunately, Press Secretary Jen Psaki wanted nothing to…

While struggling in the ratings, NewsNation (formerly WGN) has spent the past year and a half as a genuine, substantive outlet based in professional and unbiased journalism. We saw the latest example this week as, between Monday and Thursday, NewsNation’s evening shows spent 36 minutes and 16 seconds on the bombshell filing from Special Counsel Robert Durham into the origins of the Trump-…

“Dirty tricks” was a term used to describe the behavior of operatives within the Nixon administration to smear the reputations of opponents and undermine the appeal of certain politicians. Fifty years ago, these dirty tricks included a false allegation that Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-WA.) had fathered an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old girl and the break-in at Democratic National…

The President's Son – el hijo del presidente – finally caught the attention of the nation's leading Spanish-speaking newscasts. Mind you, it wasn't the scandal-ridden son of OUR sitting president, but that of Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who was deemed worthy of a combined six minutes plus of airtime at Telemundo and Univision on Valentine's Day.

On Monday evening, the three evening news broadcasts continued their silence on the explosive report from Special Counsel John Durham’s court filing showing that Hillary Clinton’s campaign allegedly spied on former President Donald Trump.

A close friend of President Joe Biden's son Hunter was charged with treason in Kazakhstan according to a report in the Washington Examiner. Despite this revelation, all three evening news broadcasts ignored the report. 

Apparently, disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo wasn’t the only one from that corrupt clan looking to make a buck off of the coronavirus pandemic. In another instance of when it rains it pours, book publisher HarperCollins announced on Tuesday that they “do not intend to publish” Chris “Fredo” Cuomo’s planned book – hilariously titled Deep Denial, where he bloviated about former…

In an apparent attempt to get the rest of his contract money, disgraced former CNN loudmouth and host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo plans to sue the network for over $18 million after they fired him on Saturday, according to a New York Post exclusive published Monday. This now pits CNN boss Jeff Zucker against a bitter Cuomo possibly looking to rhetorically blow up the network that touted him…

In the Wednesday edition of his unoriginally titled show on SiriusXM’s POTUS radio station, Let’s Get After It, indefinitely suspended CNN host Chris Cuomo addressed the surprise move by CNN boss Jeff Zucker. In his comments, Cuomo issued another likely empty apology and seemed to chide accountability by suggesting the suspension was part of “a process that they think is important.”

On Tuesday, Fox News senior editor David Rutz and media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn reported  on “Shelley Ross, the veteran TV producer who accused Chris Cuomo of sexual harassment, suggested CNN’s suspension of its star anchor isn’t enough to hold him accountable for his involvement in his brother’s scandals.” The ABC News producer told Fox News: “There is more to accountability than a…

The news that CNN had indefinitely suspended Chris Cuomo broke shortly before the broadcast evening newscasts went live at 6:30 p.m. Eastern early Tuesday night. And the only on-air mention of the move that day came in a less-than-one-minute notation from host Anderson Cooper moments before Cuomo Prime Time would normally air and announcing a second hour of his show, AC360,…

The breaking news that CNN finally was embarrassed enough and pulled the trigger on suspending Prime Time host Chris Cuomo indefinitely, seemed to catch the broadcast networks off guard as they scrambled to cobble together news briefs Tuesday evening. With the news breaking some six minutes before they went live, the briefs were so hastily put together that they left out many of the…

Early Tuesday night and following a year-plus of bipartisan pressure, CNN was finally embarrassed enough and pulled the plug on Prime Time host Chris Cuomo by suspending him indefinitely for having abused his resources as the journalist to openly (and privately) colluded on political strategy with his brother, scandal-ridden former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).

CNN went ahead and allowed Prime Time host Chris Cuomo to do his show Monday night under a darkening cloud of mistrust and scandal. The cause? New evidence released by the New York attorney general’s office exposed how intertwined Chris was with the executive office of his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as he faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct. And while…
