Major Garrett

ABC and CBS opened their Friday morning shows operating as White House publicists, offering gooey praise and skewed reporting on President Biden's COVID relief package and primetime address from Thursday night.

There is a perception, supported by many surveys, that what passes for contemporary journalism is more biased, even propagandistic, than in earlier times. One of the definitions of "journalism" on Dictionary.com will affirm that attitude for many: "writing that reflects superficial thought and research, a popular slant, and hurried composition..." Journalism has, in fact, been infected by bias…

Well, that was quick. The Joe Biden-era gush officially began as soon as the Democrat became President. On Wednesday, CBS journalists enthused that the inaugural address was something like a “priest would give, “something from the Bible.” Another journalist on the network fretted that the very liberal Biden in fact, may be too moderate. 

Well, that wasn’t an encouraging start. Chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett on Tuesday was asked to contrast his past reporting of Donald Trump to the incoming Joe Biden. The CBS journalist expected Biden’s coverage to be “slightly opaque.” After a retrospective report on Trump, co-host Gayle King wondered, “Now we're moving into Joe Biden. Two very different men. Different…

The transition has only just begun, but already the liberal media are fawning over Joe Biden’s “historic” choices to staff his administration, as he selects “very experienced,” “very diverse” and “not political” “adults in the room” who actually “know what they are doing.” The contrast with the media’s reaction to President-elect Trump’s selections four years ago could not be more stark.

CBS’s Gayle King and Major Garrett are really upset. On Wednesday’s This Morning, Garrett fumed about the “mute” GOP destroying “good governance” and “our history” during any possible presidential recount.

CBS This Morning journalist Major Garrett on Friday could not resist an arrogant tone as he recapped Thursday’s presidential town hall events. He mocked Donald Trump as “desperate” and returning “on bended knee” to get on NBC. 

All three networks opened their Friday morning broadcasts eagerly promoting the idea that President Trump becomes gravely ill from the coronavirus. Immediately after he announced his positive test overnight, CNN broke in with hours of ghoulish gossip, expecting the worst, and this morning the more subdued networks floated the same possibility

With some ABC journalists rhetorically reporting from Mars, CBS’s post-debate coverage found itself Tuesday night along similar lines as NBC, which likewise placed the lion’s share of blame on the President (instead of Joe Biden or Chris Wallace) for the debate having spun out of control. So, what CBS’s argument for blaming Trump wielding “a saw tooth” and Biden leaning more towards being…

CBS This Morning on Monday jumped on Donald Trump’s executive action to provide economic relief in the wake of the pandemic, dismissing it as “annoying” and “just like static electricity.” Not even attempting to hide disdain, Major Garrett also chided the “complicated” and “unworkable aspects.” This is not what he had to say about Barack Obama’s DACA action back in 2014. 

ABC’s, CBS’s and NBC’s evening news shows are apparently allergic to any good news that bolster’s the image of President Donald Trump’s economy. 

On Tuesday, 15-year Tulsa Police Department veteran and Sergeant Craig Johnson died at a hospital after sustaining a gunshot wound to his head on Monday. Six-week rookie Officer Aurash Zarkeshan was also in critical condition; he too was shot in the head during the same struggle with a suspect. Though CBS Evening News was the only broadcast newscast to report on their hospitalization…

The extremist militants that claimed a part of Seattle as their own country in the name of Black Lives Matter were finally dismantled by the police on Wednesday. The cost? Three weeks of chaos, crime, and the lives of two black teenagers. And as NewsBusters has extensively documented, those black lives didn’t matter to the folks at ABC, CBS, and NBC since they covered up those killings. They…
