Trump/January 6 indictment

Morning Joe opened its week on Monday with the argument that Donald Trump should seek a plea deal in the various criminal cases against him, with Joe Scarborough saying Trump would be "quite dumb" not to do so.

Amanpour & Co’s idea of a balanced segment on the news of Donald Trump’s third indictment for “conspiring to defraud” the United States for contesting his loss in 2020? Hosting a sitting liberal Democrat, Rep. Joe Neguse, and the ex-Republican (in all senses) Rep. Joe Walsh, who ran against Trump in the 2020 primary and remains fiercely opposed. Amanpour’s Tuesday evening…

New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker issued a “news analysis” downplaying the corruption accusations against President Biden and his son Hunter, while denigrating Republicans and conservative media for daring to suggest the cases were in any way comparable, in Thursday’s “In the Court of Public Opinion, Trump Relies on a Whataboutism Defense.” 

The media demands everyone be as obsessed with Trump as they are, and if we don’t comply, leftists like George Stephanopoulos will scold you. More evidence of this came during ABC’s This Week when co-anchor Stephanopoulos had North Dakota governor and GOP presidential candidate Doug Burgum on the show to presumably discuss his campaign and instead insisted on haranguing him about the…

On Jonathan Capehart's Saturday Show on MSNBC, Anthony Coley, a former senior adviser to Attorney General Merrick Garland, said he was pleased that Tanya Chutkan, the judge chosen to preside over  Donald Trump's J6 trial, had sentenced J6 defendants to longer sentences than the prosecutors had requested.

Ahhhh Special Counsels and the liberal media. 

Friday morning’s coverage of former President Trump’s most recent indictment for the election charges included a segment on CNN News Central where anchor Kate Bolduan discussed former Vice President Mike Pence’s [R-IN] involvement and opinions on the case with his former chief of staff, Marc Short. During this interview, Bolduan asked Short about recent growing distrust in the…

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I look at the media’s obsession with former President Trump getting arraigned on Thursday. As they flood the zone with coverage, they also fill the airwaves with flaming hot takes proclaiming their anticipation of Trump behind bars or even exiled. We had a lot to cram in today.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough claims, "politically, I'm too pragmatic. I bend over backwards too hard to understand too many people's views."

Through four days and three installments each of the flagship morning and evening news shows on the major broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC have eagerly doled out astounding 162 minutes and 16 seconds through Friday morning salivating over the third criminal indictment of former President Trump that has the potential to either land him in prison or propel him to the White House in 2024.…

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned for the third time on Thursday and the cable networks of MSNBC and CNN once again obsessed over the matter to the detriment of coverage of any other topic.

All day long Thursday, as reported extensively by NewsBusters, the big three evening news broadcasts were beside themselves with glee over the third arraignment of President Joe Biden's political opponent Donald Trump. Between the live motorcade chases broadcast live, and breathless coverage of every detail large and small, it's clear this was seen by the networks as a ratings-grabbing…

During CBS’s live coverage of former President Donald Trump’s arraignment on charges related to the January 6 riots at the United States Capitol and his alleged attempt to “overturn” the results of the 2020 presidential election, anchor Norah O’Donnell and correspondent Robert Costa heaped sycophantic praise for the corrupt anti-Trump prosecutor Jack Smith. O’Donnell took a break from…

With 2024 on the horizon, the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View really wanted former President Trump out of the picture. So much so that co-host Sara Haines was flabbergasted on Thursday by the notion that he would get a fair trial and not have any potential jury pool poisoned by the Justice Department releasing information pre-trial. They also fantasized about what his imprisonment…
