Lester Holt

The Peacock Network is doing quite the bit of peacocking over Pope Francis’ decision to bless same-sex couples. There is no change in doctrine, but NBC cheers the change in perception and speculates that it may lead to a change in doctrine down the road.

A violent, antisemitic protest in a major city would often be enough to warrant major coverage on the nation’s network evening newscasts. But that wasn’t the case with the disgusting protest outside of the Goldie falafel shop in Philadelphia, where the virulent mob accused the restaurant’s owners of genocide. Only NBC saw fit to cover this disgusting protest.

NBC Nightly News presented an oddly cobbled together news item on Elon Musk that, more than anything, seemed intent on extending the controversy over a recent post and further instigating an ad war against X.

The pro-Biden media is doing its level best to mitigate the effects of inflation on the everyday finances of the American public: case in point, this weird report on the national gas price average.

The death of Paul Kessler, killed for holding a pro-Israel sign on a Los Angeles street corner, has been the subject of sparse, weirdly omissive media coverage, of which we’ve taken note here at the MRC. The announcement of an arrest in the matter is no exception, as it drew sparse coverage on one major network newscast and none at all on the others.

In a bizarre throwaway report, the kind that is used as a timestuffer towards the end of a newscast, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt goes through the trouble of mentioning the arrest of a suspect in the gruesome death of an American hockey player, but has a most difficult time identifying the suspect.

The American news media have been catching a lot of flack for uncritically quoting Hamas as a source for much of their on-the-ground coverage in Gaza. In the month following the terror organization’s horrific October 7 attack on Israeli civilians, exactly two thirds of the evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC have cited either Hamas itself or Hamas-controlled entities when reporting on the…

As history has shown, moderators have a very hard time suppressing the urge to insert themselves into a debate. During tonight’s GOP presidential primary debate, NBC’s Lester Holt did just that, when asking Sen. Tim Scott a question on the economy.

The only network (ABC,CBS,NBC) mention of the David Weiss testimony came in a 59-second brief aired on the November 7 edition of NBC Nightly News. None of the network morning shows (ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, NBC’s Today/NBC’s Today 3rd Hour) on Wednesday mentioned Weiss’ appearance before Congress. However, all three of the morning…

NBC News has begun to focus its coverage on the truest, purest victim of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza subsequent to the barbaric terrorist attacks of October 7th. And of course, we’re talking about President Joe Biden.

NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt and Meet the Press host Kristen Welker are set to moderate (along with talk show host Hugh Hewitt) the third Republican primary debate on November 8 and, as NewsBusters warned before the NBC moderators were chosen, GOP voters should expect hostile questions that push a left-wing agenda and are hostile to conservatives and their policy…

Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC all made the cowardly decision to give oxygen to the far-left, perpetually crackbrained protesters at Code Pink disrupting a Senate hearing about aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

Following a smattering of mentions since Hamas’s barbaric terror attacks on October 7 and a few full segments, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC decided this week to finally care during their flagship morning and evening newscast about the “troubling” and “very alarming” anti-Semitism on college campuses (now that the Biden administration has stepped in). Of course, it came with helpings of…

On Friday, Minnesota Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips threw his hat into the presidential race to challenge President Biden in the Democratic Party primary. And despite their broadcast competitors finding some time for it on their morning and evening newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America and World News Tonight refused to give Phillips’ campaign any oxygen. Likely hoping…
