CBS Boosts Anti-Prop 8 Attorney; No Air Time For Supporters
March 27th, 2013 12:55 PM
Wednesday's CBS This Morning turned exclusively to David Boies, one of the main attorneys who argued against California's Proposition 8 at the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The morning newscast failed to bring on any of the prominent supporters of the voter-approved ban on same-sex "marriage" in the Golden State, and granted Boies over three and half minutes to promote his cause.

ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday again offered the most biased coverage on the gay marriage case before the Supreme Court.

CBS Allows Jim McGreevey to Whitewash His Own Scandal
March 26th, 2013 1:57 PM
CBS allowed former Democratic New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey to air a sympathetic note to himself about his homosexuality while downplaying the tawdry scandal that caused his political downfall, on Tuesday's CBS This Morning.

On CBS, HuffPo Editor Claims Biblical Films Haven't Been Successful in
March 25th, 2013 7:21 PM
Monday's CBS This Morning brought on only liberals for a panel discussion about the recent success of The History Channel's new miniseries, The Bible.

'Last Temptation of Christ' was…

March 22nd, 2013 3:39 PM
Radio hosts like Mark Levin and Web sites like Canada Free Press are mocking President Obama’s statement in a press conference yesterday with Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, where he compared the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to U.S.-Canada relations. What? Levin called him a "moron" for the comparison.

ABC Continues Blackout on Obama's Gun Control Setback; CBS, NBC Minimi
March 21st, 2013 3:28 PM
ABC continued ignoring Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's move on Tuesday to drop a proposed federal ban on so-called assault weapons. Neither Wednesday's World News nor Thursday's Good Morning America covered the congressional development.

March 20th, 2013 4:38 PM
ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, which began on Monday.

The Big Three also gave the story minimal coverage back in January 2011, after the Philadelphia physician was arrested. ABC completely ignored it, CBS Evening…
Networks Compared Obama's Gun Fight to Beating the Nazis, But Blandly
March 20th, 2013 3:58 PM
Over the winter, the three networks eagerly compared Barack Obama's push for more gun control to "defeating the Nazis," hyping his "dramatic," "emotional" effort. Yet, when the President suffered a serious setback, Tuesday, ABC, CBS and NBC failed to portray it as a defeat for the Commander in Chief.
