ABC Presses Def. Sec. Austin on Lack of Action to Go Save Americans
A week after the fall of Afghanistan, the response from the Biden administration was floundering as thousands of Americans were still trapped in Kabul and other places in the country. With the State Department telling Americans they needed to brave the streets and the Taliban in order to get to the airport and home, ABC’s Martha Raddatz pressed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday’s …

CBS, NBC Ignore Evidence Biden Was Warned This Would Happen By Embassy
According to a bombshell report from The Wall Street Journal Thursday, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul had sent an urgent cable to the Biden administration in July warning that the chaos we’re now seeing would occur. It’s a shocking revelation that proved the administration was aware of the dangers of their reckless actions but proceeded away. But neither the CBS Evening News nor…

Nets SLAM Biden as Failed Leader, Passed ‘Blame’ for Afghan ‘Disaster’
The major broadcast networks continued their welcome stance on Monday afternoon of holding President Biden accountable for the embarrassing collapse of Afghanistan and the peril Afghans and Americans have found themselves in. After Biden’s speech, ABC, CBS, and NBC lambasted it for having “missed the moment” in failing to “accept responsibility” for this “catastrophe” he’s caused and explain…

Fall of Kabul: Nets Praised Biden’s Order to Withdraw from Afghanistan
As of the writing of this piece, there were reports that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had fled the country, leaving the capital city of Kabul to advancing Taliban fighters with no military resistance and Americans still scrambling to get out. But back in April, the liberal broadcast networks were tripping over themselves to laud President Biden’s decision to do away with former President…

Column: Biden's Wild Murder and Jim Crow Accusations
Liberals boasted that the election of Joe Biden meant a return to sober, restrained presidential rhetoric and an end to unhinged mean tweets. Biden wouldn’t be a divider, he’d be a uniter to get things done. That’s nothing like current reality. But when Biden uncorks crazy hot talk, the media are supportive repeaters.

ABC Panel: Happy Fourth of July, America Sucks!
On Sunday, ABC’s This Week panel marked Independence Day by hyping how politically “divided” the nation was, hysterically warning of “anti-LGBTQ bills,” homelessness, and income inequality. Even when one of the pundits adopted a slightly more optimistic tone, she fretted that it might be “insane” and “naive” to speak positively about America.

ABC's Raddatz and Her Panelists Thump the DNC Tub on 'Voting Rights'
On Sunday, MRC’s Brent Baker noticed that ABC This Week host Martha Raddatz spent July 4 complaining about Republicans dealing a blow to “election rights.” The liberal pundit panel insisted Republican election laws are unpopular.

Siding with Terrorists: Nets Decry Israel Defending Itself from Hamas
Over the years, NewsBusters has extensively documented how the liberal broadcast networks had thrown their support behind terrorist groups that wanted to wipe Israel off the map. Well, they were back at it again Monday after Hamas had indiscriminately launched over 150 rockets at Israeli civilians and Israel justly responded by targeting their attacker. Between ABC, CBS, and, NBC they decried…

ABC Trumpets ‘Pragmatic’ Biden’s ‘Make America Feel Good Night’
ABC followed the lead on Wednesday night of fellow broadcast networks CBS and NBC with their largely supportive coverage of President Biden’s first speech to a joint session of Congress. In ABC’s case, they called it a “Make America Feel Good Night” and “Make America Feel Pride Night” by “talk[ing] direction to people” following “an incredibly bold first 99 days” amidst the GOP’s “endless…

‘Baghdad Bob’ Rides Again
When I heard Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas say last Sunday on "Meet the Press" that the southern border "is closed," it immediately brought to mind claims by Iraq's former information minister -- dubbed "Baghdad Bob" and "Comical Ali" (aka Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf) -- about Saddam Hussein's superior military forces. During the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, al-Sahaf said with…

'Basically': Illegal Immigrants Tell ABC/NBC Biden Is Why They’re Here
It was bad news bears for the Biden administration on Sunday as the ABC’s This Week and NBC’s Sunday Today had to reluctantly admit that the crisis on the southern border was happening because of their policies. But it wasn’t some great moral epiphany that led the liberal media to finally tell the truth, it was the fact illegal immigrants themselves were saying they were…

ABC Warns Viewers Republicans, Manchin Will Be Problem for Lib Agenda
After the passage of the pork-laden atrocity known as the $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill passed the Senate on a party-line vote on Saturday, ABC spent part of Sunday’s Good Morning America sneering at Republicans for not going along with the package President Biden refused to negotiate with them on. They also warned that Democratic Senator Joe Manchin (WV) would also be a problem…

Media Cheer Biden’s Cabinet of “Firsts,” Ignore Their Liberalism
Listen to the liberal media, and you’d be very, very impressed that President Biden has nominated a “historic” Cabinet with “vast experience,” “expertise and diversity.” With all of the media’s fixation on race, gender and sexual orientation, you might never know that the group would also form perhaps the most left-wing Cabinet in U.S. history.

Embarrassing ABC: Biden's Like Abe Lincoln, Our 'Papa-in-Chief!'
ABC News continued their embarrassing, but predictable, fawning over the newly inaugurated Democrat President Joe Biden as his inaugural address concluded early this afternoon. Each ABC journalist and commentator did their best, with the assistance of chief anchor George Stephanopoulos to make sure to hammer home how iconic and transformative Biden’s words were for the country, even comparing…
