ABC and CBS Use Hunter Plea Deal to Exonerate ‘Protective’ Joe Biden
ABC and CBS both featured segments on Tuesday morning to break the news of Hunter Biden’s guilty plea to two federal charges of tax fraud in his current criminal investigation. Both shows then proceeded to praise his father, President Joe Biden, for his closeness to his son Hunter, and bemoaned the investigation’s negative effects on the President because of this close connection.
PBS 'Washington Week' Insists Biden Is 'Independent' of DOJ on Trump
The PBS Friday night journalist roundtable show Washington Week sounded like State-Run TV as guest host Laura Barron-Lopez touted the “revealing and damning” Trump indictment by Biden’s Justice Department.

WATCH: VOA Reporter Lobs EYE-ROLLING Softball to KJP About Pride Month
Along with PBS and NPR, there’s another taxpayer-funded outlet in the White House Briefing Room many Americans probably forget about: Voice of America. And why it matters is, in part, Wednesday’s briefing revealed how they’re just as far to the left as VOA reporter Anita Powell put a softball question about Pride Month on the tee for Press Secretary (and heralded lesbian) Karine Jean-Pierre.…
CBS & Daily Caller Team Up to Question KJP & Kirby on Biden Scandals
They say politics makes strange bedfellows.

CBS, NBC Join ABC, Whine GOP ‘Quick to Pounce,’ ‘Seize’ on Biden Fall
On Friday morning, CBS and NBC had their morning shows join in the effort ABC launched Thursday on World News Tonight to pick Biden up off the proverbial floor following his fall at the U.S. Air Force Academy, lamenting “Republican critics...were quick to pounce” on something that could have happened to “anybody.”
She Should Take KJP’s Job: ABC’s Bruce Spins for Biden on Border, Debt
Being a frequent NewsBusters reader and/or a trip to our taxonomy term for ABC chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce would give one the impression that Bruce is little more than a doormat for the Biden administration and loyally delivering the day’s preferred spin. Such was the case on Tuesday’s Good Morning America as she enthusiastically spun for President Biden on the border…
WOW: CBS & NBC Highlight Bad Polling, Voter Concerns Over Biden's Age
On Tuesday, Americans received an answer to one of the biggest sources of speculation in American politics over the past few months: will President Joe Biden run for reelection given his advanced age and apparent cognitive decline?

Here’s What You Missed from the Briefing Amid Carlson/Lemon Chaos
While media observers, Twitter, and cable news viewers were lighting their hair on fire Monday over the monumental shakeup with CNN firing Don Lemon and Fox News axing Tucker Carlson, the Biden White House held its near-daily press briefing and there were a few moments that slipped under the radar, including one about Hunter Biden.
DOGPILE! Reporters Hound Kirby on Biden's Afghan Withdrawal Report
On Thursday’s White House press conference, the incompetent Karine Jean-Pierre once again used National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby as a crutch by letting him brief the members of the White House press corps for nearly the entire time. The topic of the day was the conveniently timed release of the Biden regime’s post-mortem on the disastrous withdrawal…
ABC Teams with WH to Trash DeSantis as Fixated on ‘Cultural Divisions’
Thursday’s Good Morning America continued ABC’s smears of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by lamenting he’s “doubl[ing] down” on the “controversial” “Don’t Say Gay policy” as part of his obsession with exacerbating “hot button issues” and “cultural divisions” that pose risk to the mental health of students by not allowing them to explore sex.
STUDY: TV News Shields Biden From Blame Over His Inflation Disaster

Spin Cycle: KJP Gets Help Building Brick Walls from WH Counsel Spox
Wednesday afternoon marked the week’s first White House press briefing and, for the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, she must have been ever-thankful for the lighter load as, hours earlier, White House Counsel spokesman Ian Sams offered globs of nothingness on the White House driveway. In light of another CBS News scoop that the FBI had conducted a search of the Penn Biden Center…
Behold Friday's Smartest & Dumbest Briefing Biden Docs Questions
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced the press corps Friday to close out a week almost no one saw coming with the revelation that the Biden administration had kept hidden for two months that classified documents were found at a (faux) think tank and his Wilmington, Delaware home. Like we saw on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, some reporters brought the heat on what’s now a…

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.
