Kristen Welker

On the latest episode of the Wired In podcast, host Cabot Phillips spoke with Media Research Center President David Bozell to analyze the off-the-rails Scott Pelley's New York Times podcast interview and President Donald Trump’s walkout on NBC’s Kristen Welker. 

President of the Media Research Center David Bozell joined American Agenda on Newsmax Monday afternoon to react to Scott Pelley's recent interview with the New York Times. Pelley is on a parading press tour over his firing at CBS, dressing himself up as a martyr for journalism and the first amendment. In reality, it was  his repeated clashes with 60 Minutes editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and…

On Monday afternoon, Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell joined Andrew Wilkow on The Wilkow Majority to rip into the glaring double standards, stale partisan groupthink, and blatant favoritism dominating today's corporate media landscape.

Media Research Center President David Bozell joined Larry O’Connor on O’Connor & Company Monday morning to take aim at a total collapse in journalistic standards at NBC and CBS. Focusing on NBC’s Kristen Welker and former CBS anchor Scott Pelley, Bozell argued that the modern press corps is increasingly defined by double standards and open hostility toward the public.

Last Friday, President Trump made time during his trip to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin for an extended sit-down interview with NBC's Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, but was derailed several times by pounding rain on the roof of the facility, heated exchanges, and a premature ending as Trump abruptly walked out because he was tired of dealing with such a "crooked" network.

As we’ve often said: what the Elitist Media cover on their newscasts and Sunday political affairs shows is almost as important as what they DON’T cover. This was the case with the Democrat Senate candidate from Maine: Graham Platner, where there was no mention of him at all. But the latest sexting allegations have forced a change. 

The Elitist Media are still irate about the Supreme Court’s opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, which narrowed the scope of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. And some in the media are willing to facilitate some of the most egregious rhetoric against the Court, even if it leads to further violence.

The gravity of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner significantly altered the trajectory of the Sunday political affairs shows, which went from the usual talking points and “conventional wisdom” to tracking breaking news in real time. However, some of the shows found an opportunity to conduct themselves in their usual manner.

When Americans interview foreign tyrants, you have to question how they paint themselves as champions of democracy. They’re often so pleased to be granted access that this leads to compliant questioning. That happened on Meet the Press with Cuban “President” Miguel Diaz-Canel. "It's an honor," Kristen Welker oozed. She didn't say that at the end of the last Trump interview.

We viewed NBC’s hyped announcement of a Kristen Welker interview with Cuban dictatorship puppet Miguel Díaz Canel with dread expecting very little in the way of tough questions, a lot of uninterrupted regime propaganda, and a nonzero percentage of obsequiousness. We regret to inform you that we were not wrong. 

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows wasted no time in giving airtime to the recent lurid allegations that have surfaced against Congressman and California Gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell (D-Fang Fang). But their coverage itself seeks to avoid some of the broader substance of the issues.

Much of the Elitist Media’s claim to credibility is premised on the access to knowledge and expertise, combined with reporting backstopped by rigorous editing and fact-checking. But it is often the case that this claim is exposed as hollow and outright false. Consider a recent exchange on NBC’s Meet the Press. 

ABC’s Good Morning America had the sensibility Thursday to do the opposite of what they did Wednesday in leading with — and not burying — the NASA launch of Artemis II on a ten-day trip to slingshot around the moon, but that’s where the compliments cease as, like Wednesday, Thursday’s show had plenty of anti-Trump hate. This time, it concerned Trump’s address to the nation the night…

It’s been a whole week since a member of Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s (TX) security detail was shot and killed by Dallas Police during a chase and subsequent standoff after police flagged his vehicle for having stolen plates. Police would come to find out a whole lot more about the man (including his multiple aliases), but ABC and CBS have seen no reason to cover it on their…
