The NBC, CBS and ABC morning news shows largely ignored a new inflation report that showed inflation raging at 8.5 percent. That was the highest increase since 1981 — the same year Raiders of the Lost Ark hit the box office.

While fretting over billionaire Elon Musk’s latest maneuvers as Twitter’s biggest single shareholder, on Monday’s CBS Mornings, correspondent Vladimir Duthiers hyped critics comparing the world’s richest man to a “Bond villain.” The attack line came amid speculation the SpaceX and Tesla founder may be planning a hostile takeover of the social media giant.

Over two segments, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings served an important purpose in reminding many that, though we’ve moved on from the COVID-19 pandemic (while still acknowledging the lives lost and how little we knew early on), others like co-host Gayle King haven’t and instead fear going to a restaurant without a vaccine mandate and opposes the idea of “personal responsibility.”

CBS Mornings had quite the 8:00 a.m. Eastern hour peddling Biden administration propaganda as, prior to their absurd segment fawning over Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, the show brought in Education Secretary Miguel Cardona for just over six minutes of softballs from the left on reopened schools, student loans, Florida’s parental rights bill, and what’s needed to fill a…

CBS Mornings on Wednesday highlighted the plight of an Ukrainian American who went to Poland to find her niece and nephew. They were all turned away from the American embassy and are now basically stranded. Co-host Tony Dokoupil only referred to “reassurance from the U.S. government.” He played a clip of the President, but never said the words “Joe Biden” while recounting this…

While interviewing Democratic Senator and Judiciary Committee member Chris Coons on Monday, the hosts of CBS Mornings urged for quick confirmation of President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson and saw no reason for any “delay at all when it comes to her background.” In addition, the broadcast fondly recalled how the person Jackson was replacing, liberal Justice…

The network newscasts on Thursday morning parroted Biden talking points when it comes to the President’s handling of the escalating Ukranian crisis. None of them questioned Joe Biden’s control of a situation that seems to be spiraling out of control. Instead, NBC assured Americans that the Democrat is “sensitive” to ramifications like sky high gas prices. 

On Wednesday’s CBS Mornings and Thursday’s NBC Today show, hosts fretted over mask mandates being lifted across the country as COVID numbers sharply decline. Jittery anchors feared that the easing of pandemic restrictions “triggers” some people and even suggested they themselves might “wear a mask forever now” in certain settings, like public transportation.

Late Monday afternoon, Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg (D) and his campaign headquarters were attacked in a spat of gunfire by an alleged gunman who, ironically, is a far-left gun control activist, Louisville Courier Journal columnist, former Courier Journal intern, March for Our Lives attendee, and MSNBC guest. Of course, the background on alleged 21-year-old suspect Quintez…

Monday’s CBS Mornings welcomed in newly-minted CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa with a strategy session for the table to diagnose how President Biden and their fellow Democrats can weather the storms of bad polling, a tough economy, and the crisis in Ukraine. Most of all, it concluded presidents have little control over the economy and Democrats haven’t talked…

On Monday, CBS Mornings adopted the left-wing premise that a new election fraud investigative unit in the State of Florida was a threat to democracy and proceeded to line up Democrats to denounce the specialized law enforcement team as a racist “goon squad.” The segment ultimately concluded that Republican Governor Ron DeSantis – unlike his Democratic opponents – was entirely…

All three major broadcast networks continued on Monday morning to do their part in the push to remove Joe Rogan from the public square over his top-rated Spotify podcast under the guise of COVID-19 falsehoods. In the case of ABC, CBS, and NBC, they ratcheted up the rhetoric from when they first covered it last week, calling his show and views “dangerous” “misinformation” with one implicitly…

All three networks on Monday night and Tuesday morning offered sympathy for Joe Biden calling Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch.” CBS explained, as though this were a new discovery now that Democrats are in charge, “it’s not easy being President.” ABC and NBC both stressed that Biden was simply “frustrated” by other reporters asking off-topic questions. 

CBS Mornings co-host and former NFL player Nate Burleson took the climate change narrative to a whole new level as, during Wednesday’s show, he cited the “harsh reality” of climate change and the need for all of us “to do our part” as it relates to the January 14 volcanic eruption and tsunami that hit the Pacific island nation of Tonga.
