Nets Cheer Biden in Nevada, Ignore Incendiary Rhetoric Toward Trump

On Wednesday, the flagship morning news shows of ABC, CBS, and NBC made sure to tout President Biden’s Tuesday afternoon address in Las Vegas to the NAACP convention, but only played up sanguine soundbites calling for a lowering of the temperature of our civic discourse, not those saying Republicans want to “erase..history” and want to take away the “freedom” of black people.

To help him make sense of night two of the Republican National Convention, CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Sen.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned to New York on Tuesday after the security reassessment at their Milwaukee theater changed in the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Morning Joe: Maybe Trump Wasn't Conservative ENOUGH For Shooter!

On Morning Joe, NBC News law enforcement correspondent Tom Winter, passing along "a bit" of a theory from anonymous law enforcement sources, suggests that perhaps Trump wasn't "conservative enough" for the shooter. Mika Brzezinski opens the show saying that it is "VERY" good to be there: an obvious reference to the fact that the show had been yanked off the air the day before, the first…

Column: NBC Omits Biden Scolding Lester Holt as a Trump Enabler

NBC anchorman Lester Holt interviewed President Biden on the first day of the Republican convention. In the past, that would be seen as impolite, for one party’s nominee to intrude on the other party’s convention week. Holt’s interview wasn’t a sappy softball interview, but the versions that aired on NBC Nightly News and Today were carefully emptied of Biden’s anger at the…

CBS, Garrett Deliver Rambling Fact Check of Illegal Immigrant Numbers

CBS’ Tuesday night coverage of the 2024 Republican National Convention unsurprisingly included a ridiculous distraction from the prominent issue of illegal immigration and the threat it poses to the United States. Chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett filled the time leading up to a speech by Michael Morrin, whose sister was murdered by an illegal immigrant, to spew a long-winded fact-…

MSNBC Pushes Debunked Conspiracy Theory that Trump Wasn’t Shot, Glass

Despite the graphic photographic evidence from different angles showing former President Trump was missing chunks of his right ear after being shot in the head during a failed assassination attempt over the weekend, MSNBC host Michael Steele wasted oxygen during the network’s coverage of Night Two of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday to spew debunked fringe conspiracy theories…

Rachel Maddow Falsely Equates Menéndez and Trump’s Convictions

MSNBC’s decision to bench the Morning Joe crew in the name of “lowering the temperature while allowing the prime-time lineup to run amuck at the Republican National Convention is, to put it charitably, a head-scratching decision. Tonight’s shameless and spurious comparison of the parties’ dealing with felony convictions serves as proof evident of the folly of that decision.
