For anyone who watches the CBS Evening News at least somewhat frequently, anchor Scott Pelley is known for his share of cheesy jokes, puns, and rhymes to engage with his audience in reporting on both hard and soft news stories. Wednesday’s show was no exception as Pelley quipped that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton “look like a cinch to clinch” the nominations of their respective parties as “[t]…

Once again in February, ABC, CBS and NBC devoted a majority of their Republican primary coverage to Donald Trump, who received three times more attention than his top competitors, Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. Since the start of the campaign, Trump has received a total of 923 minutes of airtime from the three broadcast evening newscasts, or 54 percent of the total GOP coverage. This is more…

As part of CBS’s hour-long special on Super Tuesday, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan remarked that, sadly, she “believe[s] we are seeing a great political party shatter before our eyes” with the rise of Donald Trump. Moments after fellow panelist Jamelle Bouie of Slate blamed the rise of Trump on “the fruit of a lot of backlash politics, a lot of resentment, racially and otherwise,”…

Speaking to Marco Rubio during CBS News’s Super Tuesday coverage, CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose knocked Rubio for attacking Trump in the lead up to his numerous victories across the country and insulting Trump voters by referring to their candidate as “a con artist.”

Less than an hour before polls closed in the first three states on Super Tuesday, CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley declared that it marked “likely the last chance for challengers to catch the frontrunners, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.”

CBS decided against running a story on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas speaking up from the bench, but they apparently their graphics team didn't get the memo.

On the eve of Super Tuesday, the network evening newscasts went all out with 24 minutes and 31 seconds of 2016 coverage and made it clear Donald Trump was far and away the most important story to them with over 62 percent of that time spent salivating on how “there’s not much” Trump opponents “can do to stop him from getting the nomination.” Trump fetched an astonishing 15 minutes and 19 seconds…

On the same day that the CBS President admitted that Donald Trump’s “circus” is “damn good for the network,” reporter Major Garrett blamed Marco Rubio for “obscuring” the debate on the businessman. All three networks on Monday slammed the Republican primary as “ugly,” “strange” and hitting “new lows.” 

Reporting for CBS This Morning on Monday, Entertainment Tonight host Kevin Frazier offered rave reviews of Sunday’s Oscars pushing one liberal agenda item after another: “You know, there was no way last night's broadcast could be just about the awards....the real spotlight was on Oscars lack of diversity and the show's host Chris Rock owned the night.”

Pretending to show compassion and interest in the future of conservatism and the Republican Party, Friday’s CBS Evening News and anchor Scott Pelley lectured Marco Rubio for triggering “a crippling civil war” by attacking Donald Trump in Thursday’s debate that “reached lows that many Republicans would say are beneath the dignity of the office that the candidates are seeking.”

Despite not openly endorsing or dismissing any presidential candidate, former candidate Jim Gilmore criticized the media for giving free air time to Trump, during an interview on CNBC’s Sqauwk Box.

Marco Rubio on Friday appeared on all three morning shows and denounced the “biased” media for ignoring Donald Trump’s liberal past, asserting that journalists were enabling a “con artist” to take over the conservative movement.  Talking to Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos, the Senator speculated on what a Trump nomination might mean: “For those who are biased, this means you will…

To celebrate CBS’s The Big Bang Theory’s 200th episode, “The Celebration Experimentation” features Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) birthday party. No big deal, right? Wrong. His friends convince him that it will be a fun thing, not the disappointing experiences of his childhood. His big surprise present? A visit from Adam West, television’s original Batman.

Political scandals make for juicy journalism, but apparently a politician being cleared of wrong doing isn’t even worth a mention. When the initial story of Rick Perry’s indictment broke in August 2014, ABC, CBS and NBC devoted 25 minutes in just two days to topic, speculating that the controversy could “end any chance” for Perry in 2016. But when Perry was cleared of any wrongdoing, all three…
