Networks Still Think It’s Worth Defending Illegals in Tren de Aragua
Having made their beds over the weekend and into Monday, ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to lie in it Tuesday morning as they remained steadfast in expressing horror and rushing to the defense of illegal immigrants who were deported to an El Salvadoran jail based on their alleged membership in the dangerous, murderous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

FLASHBACK: Nets Praised Faltering Biden’s ‘Feisty,’ ‘Fiery’ 2024 SOTU
The liberal media had a predictably sour reaction to President Trump’s speech to Congress. Yet one year ago, these same networks used Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union speech to dishonestly proclaim the obviously faltering 81-year-old was brimming with energy and ready for a second term.

Network Morning Shows Slog Through Recaps of ‘Partisan’ Trump Speech
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. …

Anti-DOGE NBC Celebrates Return of Angry Liberals at GOP Townhalls
With the networks having already established over the last few weeks a totally-not-coordinated stream of sympathetic laid off federal workers to attack the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and President Trump, NBC’s Today added another wrinkle Friday by cheering liberal rabble rousers shouting at House Republicans during constituent townhalls.

The Media Are Now Desperately Trying to Save Government Workers
The media are united in their purpose of trying to save government workers from the DOGE ax. Across the dial, each evening newscast devoted significant time to creating in their respective audiences an empathy for government bloat.

NBC, ABC Remain Bitter Over DOGE Obliteration of USAID
The Resistance Media continue to seethe over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) march through the federal government, particularly through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID coverage trod old and familiar tropes, seeking to elicit sympathy for the dying agency.

Trump Battles ABC, CNN, NBC, NYT in WH Briefing on Airline Crash
President Donald Trump stepped to the White House Briefing Room podium himself on Thursday morning to provide an update on, sound off on, and spar with reporters over Wednesday night’s horrifying crash over the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport between an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter.

New Sheriff in Town: Karoline Leavitt Opens New Era of WH Briefings
In the first the first White House press briefing of President Donald Trump’s second term, Press Secretary Karoline Levaitt made clear from the onset of the 46-minute-and-36-second briefing things would be different inside the Brady Briefing Room. Along with the opening and closing statements made famous by Kayleigh McEnany, Leavitt announced seats for new media and called on 21 different…

The Media HIDE the Stripping of Security Clearances from ‘Dirty 51’
The returning Resistance Media have begun to report on the Trump Administration very much the same way they reported on the previous Trump Administration: with glaring omissions in service of a narrative. In this case, half-reporting on the initial executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.

CBS Asks If Biden Will Be Compared to FDR & Washington or Wilson & JFK
On Thursday morning and after some cockamamie, tone-deaf reactions Wednesday night to President Biden’s farewell address, the major broadcast networks chose to double down with empty stenography for power with one network going to nonsensical links suggesting Biden could one day be compared to President George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson as one of the country’s…

Last KJP Briefing Brings an Emotional Speech, Non-Answers, and a Shrug
Wednesday afternoon brought us the final Biden White House press briefing and, by her own count, the 306th featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. It featured Jean-Pierre emotionally patting herself on the back, plenty of unanswered questions (mostly stemming from the monumental Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal), the final Jacqui Time, and even Jean-Pierre doing her own…

What Lockdowns? NBC Spins Biden Is History's Best Jobs President
The anchors of NBC’s Today spun themselves dizzy on Saturday as they tried to give credence to two separate liberal talking points. First, Laura Jarrett memory-holed the COVID lockdowns as she proclaimed President Joe Biden to be the best jobs president “in history” while Peter Alexander tried to tie the current Los Angeles wildfires to climate change.

Make Way for PART ONE of the Top WH Briefing Room Battles of 2024!
There’s no doubt at least some of you out there will miss the antics, hardballs, stumbles, and throwdowns that came to define Karine Jean-Pierre’s 2024 at the White House Briefing Room podium. With over 70 blogs from our press briefing tag to choose from and the topics ranging from the economy to foreign policy to Biden’s mental slippage, Jean-Pierre and the press corps made it difficult for…

Networks Go All Out to Paint Trump as Admitting He Can’t Fix Groceries
Between Thursday night and Friday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning and evening newscasts to promote a disinformation campaign first launched by The Bulwark’s Sam Stein to use President-Elect Trump’s comments about grocery prices to argue he can’t and won’t improve the lives of struggling Americans.
