ABC Skips Historic March for Life as CBS, NBC Offer Nearly 7 Minutes
On Friday, NewsBusters looked at the past decade of broadcast network coverage of the March for Life and found 25 minutes and 50 seconds from 2013 to 2022 (with over half coming from 2017). For 2023, the total clocked out at six minutes and 52 seconds on their flagship Friday night and Saturday morning news programs, but it all came from CBS and NBC. ABC’s World News Tonight and…
Looking Back at Last 10 Marches for Life & the Media's Collective Yawn
Friday marked the 2023 March for Life on the National Mall on Washington D.C. with hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers to coincide with Sunday’s 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade being argued before the Supreme Court. And, with zero preview coverage Friday morning on the broadcast network news shows, it appears as though this will mark the eighth March for Life in the past 10 years with…
Nets Mourn ‘Empathetic,’ ‘Trailblazing’ New Zealand PM Stepping Down
The “big three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC grew embarrassingly weak in the knees Thursday over far-left New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s sudden resignation, swooning over her as an “empathetic” “inspiration” and “pioneer” who achieved “global stardom” as “one of the world’s most influential national leaders” who enacted mass gun confiscation with “no pushback.”
Back to the Mat: Nets Leave Biden Docs Behind to Hit GOP on Debt Limit
CBS dropped the Biden documents scandal on Wednesday morning and was followed that night by NBC, so it was only a matter of time before ABC did the same. Sure enough, Thursday’s Good Morning America put it out to pasture. Instead, the three networks resumed spinning for the Biden administration as they slammed House Republicans for refusing to lift the debt ceiling, creating a “…
CBS Waves Goodbye to Biden Docs to Screech About MTG Being on Panels
Wednesday’s CBS Mornings was the first broadcast network flagship morning or evening show to bid farewell to President Biden’s classified documents scandal with zero formal coverage (aside from a tag in the show’s Eye Opener from two late-night comedy shows). Instead, their political segment huffed about House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) restoring two House Republicans to committees…
ABC Touts Biden WH ‘Firing Back’ at Republicans on Biden Docs Scandal
ABC’s Good Morning America fought a surprisingly lonely battle Tuesday in carrying water for President Biden and the White House amid their classified documents scandal, repeatedly touting the administration as “firing back” at Republicans wanting to learn more and making requests of the regime because...Donald Trump.
ABC Frets GOP Is ‘Pouncing on’ Biden Over Docs, Hype No Visitor Logs
The Biden documents scandal entered its second week Monday and, on the flagship broadcast network morning news shows, ABC’s Good Morning America remained in a defensive mode for Team Biden by repeatedly insisting the White House will be cooperative and transparent with the special counsel, fretting “Republicans...are now pouncing,” and boasting Republicans will never be able to find…
ABC Frets Docs Probe ‘Interrupts’ Biden’s ‘Good Run’ as CBS Hammers WH
Friday morning’s broadcast network news shows spanned the spectrum of effectiveness on the growing scandal with classified documents having been found in possession of President Biden’s (faux) think tank office and his Wilmington, Delaware home. ABC’s Good Morning America played the role of liberal spin artists, NBC’s Today tried to bore you to sleep, and CBS Mornings…
‘Republicans...Pounced’; Nets Unmoved by Biden Having Classified Docs
Along with the Monday night network evening newscasts, the Tuesday morning broadcast network news shows tried to dial back the heart rates of liberal viewers by insisting there’s no there there to classified documents being found in the Washington D.C. office of President Biden’s University of Pennsylvania think tank. Instead, it was a case of Republicans “pounc[ing]” despite “key differences…
‘He Is on Top of This’; Nets Portray Biden as Statesman at the Border
Despite what the White House has argued, Sunday marked President Biden’s first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in his entire life and, sure enough, Monday morning’s broadcast network flagship news shows put a positive spin on the trip with Biden “project[ing] that he is on top of this” and “setting the tone” on a crisis while facing “critics from both…
CBS Again Hits Benedict as “Arch-Conservative,” “God’s Rottweiller”
All three broadcast morning newscasts devoted full stories on Monday to the first day of public viewing for the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. CBS’s Chris Livesay was the most antagonistic to Benedict’s legacy, regurgitating once again the “…
TV News Liberals Hit “Rigid,” “Hard Line” “Cartoonish” Pope Benedict
The passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was greeted with a familiar litany of liberal griping about the “strict,” “rigid” “hardline” Pope’s stance on ecclesiastical issues, with ABC, CBS and NBC all reminding viewers that as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he had been tagged “God’s Rottweiler” by critics. On NBC, reporter Anne Thompson described Cardinal Ratzinger as “cartoonish” before his…
CBS MELTS DOWN Over Bibi’s ‘Far-Right’ Govt ‘Targeting’ Gays, Women
On Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu returned as Israel’s prime minister with a right-of-center government led in part by his Likud Party. But just as was the case following Israel’s latest election (its fifth in four years), CBS Mornings melted down over Netanyahu’s latest coalition “as Israel’s most far-right government” in history that could result in the “targeting” of American Jews,…
CBS Moans Oppressed Citizens Got China’s Zero-COVID Policy Lifted
Finally, CBS has found civil unrest they don’t like. During Thursday’s CBS Mornings, the network moaned about the Chinese citizens that took to the streets a few weeks ago to protest the communist regime’s zero-COVID policy. Despite the fact the policy saw people get welded into their homes and literally dragged kicking and screaming to fates unknown, the network huffed that COVID was…
