Margaret Brennan

On Wednesday morning, it remained evident ABC, CBS, and NBC were still largely uninterested in and almost seemed burdened by having to cover Tuesday night’s address by President Trump to a joint session of Congress. It predictably lacked the ebullience from their takes on Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union, but also the outright hostility from the four speeches in Trump’s first term. …

Needless to say, ABC, CBS, and NBC offered far different reactions Tuesday night to President Trump’s address to Congress (think State of the Union, but not granted that title in a president’s first year) than they did in immediately celebrating last year’s partisan State of the Union from Joe Biden. For 2025, they were more lackadaisical in their disdain for Trump’s “intensely partisan” “…

On Sunday, CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan presented new Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent with a CBS News poll that they used to insist Americans already think President Trump is failing them on the economy. Bessent was sworn in on January 28. When Bessent challenged the pro-Biden/Harris media spin, Brennan got defensive and ended up a little embarrassed. 

Google and Meta artificial intelligence stunningly seemed to defend CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan’s crazy assertion that free speech caused a genocide.

It was a deeply weird Sunday at CBS. Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan argued that free speech led to the Holocaust, as if the Nazis allowed free speech. Then 60 Minutes promoted German prosecutors fining and jailing people for "hate speech" on social media. CBS likes a little "German order" on the internet. Jorge Bonilla joins the show to ponder the CBS mysteries.

CBS’s Margaret Brennan continues on a tour-de-force of galaxy brained takes that ultimately cause her to get smacked down by her conservative interlocutor. The latest such instance involves her assertion that the Holocaust was caused by (weaponized) free speech, which was promptly and thoroughly rebuffed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The media continue to frantically push to save the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from the DOGE scalpel. This effort was the basis of today’s interview between CBS’s Margaret Brennan and original Squad Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Instead of considering why Americans voted for Trump and his campaign promise to task Elon Musk with creating a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to attack government spending, Wednesday’s CBS Evening News and Thursday’s CBS Mornings chose to tug at one’s emotional heartstrings by holding up food sent through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to…

The massive grift at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other such agencies is coming to focus as they each come into contact with the DOGE chainsaw. CBS’s Margaret Brennan fought tooth and nail in defense of these agencies and their funding.

The new and revamped CBS Evening News emerged after much hype and a treacly send-off for its prior anchor, Norah O’Donnell. After watching its maiden broadcast one is left wondering: is it too late for Norah to come back? 

Conservatives wonder why J.D. Vance is wasting his time with liberals like CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan. But when you watch him methodically take down every hostile question from Brennan, it's a win for him and a loss for CBS. MRC's Jorge Bonilla breaks down the battle. The VP named JD was messing with CBS. It’s the newsbusters podcast, I’m tim graham.  The "CBS Evening…

The following are just a few of the most obnoxious outbursts from the John Dickerson and Margaret Brennan over the years (via the MRC archives).

When CBS announced that it landed the first post-inaugural interview with Vice President JD Vance, with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, many conservatives questioned why Vance would even give the time of day to hateful “legacy” media. Within minutes, we had our answer.

While it lacked the schoolings NBC’s liberal journalists faced at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and longtime GOP hand Hogan Gidley or ABC’s degree of Biden apple polishing, CBS held its own during Monday’s Trump inauguration thanks to the pomposity and obsession with January 6 on the part of many of their lead anchors. NewsBusters slogged through the first nine hours of…
