CBS Brushes Off El-Sayed Muslim Brotherhood Ties, NBC Demands Answers
CBS Mornings would apparently prefer Michigan voters stop hearing about Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s alleged ties to The Muslim Brotherhood. On Friday, CBS correspondent Ed O’Keefe suggested voters had issues more dire than El-Sayed’s familial past, while NBC’s Tom Llamas had spent Wednesday’s NBC Nightly News pressing El-Sayed for answers about the allegations.
Pompous Pelley Appears, Claims Weiss Wants to ‘Destroy’ 60 Minutes
Fired longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley recently appeared at an event to reminisce about his time at CBS and his infamous crashout and subsequent firing from CBS’s Sunday night magazine show. In an interview labeled a “fireside chat,” Pelley continued his complaints about changes to 60 Minutes, including its new executive producer, and claimed the changes were only made by someone…
NBC Frames Trump as Misogynist After Zacharia Press Sec Ouster
After Katie Zacharia left her role as White House Press Secretary on Friday, just a week after taking the job, all the evening network newscasts covered the removal. But NBC Nightly News put a different frame on the ouster than the rest of the networks, and accused President Trump of removing “mostly women” from administration roles, effectively calling him a misogynist.
CBS Blames U.S. for Collapse of Cuba’s ‘Once-Renowned’ Health Care
Even though ABC pulled the exact same stunt in May, CBS Mornings chose Friday to take the hand of the Cuban communists for a hand-holding tour under the thumb of a U.S. oil blockade, leading to massive blackouts and a drain of basic necessities. The supposedly right-wing CBS lamented the state of affairs, even complaining the Trump administration’s policies have caused Cuba’s “once-renowned…
Nets Brag ‘Trump’s Policies’ Are ‘Squeezing’ Americans, But Boost Dem
On Thursday, the steady torrent of negativity surrounding Republicans continued on the flagship morning shows of ABC, CBS, and NBC, emphasizing Wednesday’s inflation report of prices increasing 3.7 percent spells doom for President Trump and the GOP, “squeezing American families” because of “Trump’s policies” and “handing” Democrats “a campaign talking point.”
Thin-Skinned: Darcy Peddles Latest CBS Drama Over Anti-Israel Stories
Status founder Oliver Darcy and his cadre of petulant children masquerading as anonymous CBS News staffers have found something else to complain about vis-à-vis editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and her top lieutenants, leading to more threats of quitting by longtime correspondents (with it this time being Lesley Stahl and Holly Williams).
What Happened to Being Anti-Woke? CBS Seethes Over Gillis’s Comments
When Bari Weiss took over as editor-in-chief of CBS News, one of the liberal, elitist media’s biggest fears was that she would bring her anti-woke mindset. But with stories like one that kicked off the second hour of Wednesday’s CBS Mornings by expressing horror at comedian Shane Gillis’s recent comments about how women dress at the gym, it’s safe to say the inmates are still largely in…
Networks Use Trump’s Alaska Trip as Proof of GOP DOOM in November
On Wednesday, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC spent time on their lead morning shows kicking dirt on President Trump going to Alaska as little more than a sign of impending GOP doom come November 3, continuing to show their political ignorance of how non-presidential elections work. NBC’s Today stood apart as, along with a doom-and-gloom report, it also took a swipe at White House Press…
Good Enough for Them! CBS, NBC Take Talarico’s Word on Why He Was AWOL
For the first time on their flagship morning or evening newscasts, two of the major broadcast networks — CBS and NBC — mentioned Tuesday that Texas Democrat senatorial candidate James Talarico had gone AWOL for over a week, suggesting there was no reason for anyone to engage in “rumors” or express skepticism about his neat-and-tidy explanation for an abnormally long flu bout.
Networks Are Still Seething Over Ilhan Omar Raid, Cast Doubt on Merits
On their flagship morning newscasts, ABC fixed on Tuesday a major issue (party ID) that befell their Monday night coverage of the federal raid on far-left Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) D.C. home, but was joined by CBS and NBC in continuing to express disgust at the idea Omar would be raided for anything other than political retribution by the Trump administration.
Networks Rip GOP as ‘Lagging,’ Trump ‘Attacking Immigrants’ at Rally
On Tuesday morning, the major broadcast networks used the milestone of three weeks until Election Day to continue delivering discouraging news to any viewer thinking of voting Republican, telling them the party’s “lagging candidates” are suffering nationwide because of a President with “poll numbers near record lows” that spent Monday night “attacking immigrants.”
60 Minutes Hits Israel Over West Bank, Implies Dems Will End Violence
The newest edition of 60 Minutes on Sunday proved once again that the show has not changed much under CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, even after a media freakout over changes to the Sunday magazine show. Longtime correspondent Lesley Stahl went after Israel over settlers in the West Bank and connected her story back to the midterm elections while implying the problems in Israel would end…
The Anti-Trump Media and ‘Economic Pessimism’
In a college psychology course, my class studied an experiment. This is an oversimplification, but the experiment went as follows. A group of college students was shown a paper on which a six-inch line was drawn. The paper was passed to the students sitting around the table. They were asked to estimate the length of the line. Now, this experiment was rigged. The instructor and all but one of…
Broadcast Networks Make NYC ICE Shooting About Zohran Mamdani
