Face the Nation

Across the dial, Sunday political affairs shows took it upon themselves to attempt to make GOP members of Congress squirm in response to statements made by former President Donald Trump. This collective drive-by attempt failed miserably, hitting nothing but air.

During an interview which will air in its entirety on CBS’s Face The Nation, CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent and Face The Nation moderator Margaret Brennan pressed Speaker Mike Johnson on the need to fund more immigration judges so as to address the backflow of asylum claims, as our southern border remains collapsed under the pressure of the ongoing migrant surge.

During a year-end wrapup segment on Face The Nation, CBS Senior Business and Technology Correspondent Jo-Ling Kent lamented that “the arguments and protections of free speech” prevent social media companies from engaging in further censorship and viewpoint suppression. Additionally, Kent took a shot at Elon Musk for his free speech reforms at X, formerly known as Twitter.

CBS’s Sunday political talk show Face the Nation spent its most recent episode lashing out against Israel and rallying around the Palestinians and their beloved Hamas terrorist group who rule over them in Gaza. From the very beginning, host Margaret Brennan and correspondent Imtiaz Tyab touted claims that Israel has been engaged in “apartheid” war crimes” against poor Gazans and the…

Equal justice under the law is a difficult concept to understand for CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan. During an interview Sunday with Republican Congressman Mike Turner, Brennan seemed stunned that he called for both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump to be treated the same for mishandling classified documents. 

One obvious way the Sunday morning shows betray a partisan bias is how many times Republicans get interrupted and debated. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appeared on CBS's Face the Nation, and host Margaret Brennan was constantly interrupting him and challenging his premises. But later in the same show. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) wasn't constantly interrupted -- or challenged on…

CBS Face the Nation anchor Margaret Brennan sat down with Vice President Kamala Harris for an exclusive interview that lasted the entire first segment of her Sunday morning roundtable program. It was just as much of a softball interview as you'd imagine without having watched it. The worst moment came when Brennan showed her left-wing activist ankle show and asked Harris if she had…

What a difference a few days can make. Between Friday night and Monday night, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC chose to rediscover Hunter Biden’s life of corruption with 72 minutes and 23 seconds on their flagship morning and evening news shows and Sunday morning political programs. Add in the miniscule tally of four minutes and 50 seconds between the evening of August 1 and the…

UPDATE, 08/11, 11:25 a.m. Eastern: Few things were going to eat into the precious airtime on the flagship morning and evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC and time to spend on the third Trump indictment. But something as apocalyptic-looking as the Hawaiian wildfires did just the trick. Between Thursday night and Friday morning, the networks only added 32 seconds to the coverage tally,…

You would never hear CBS's Margaret Brennan demand Democrats move on from an old Trump scandal. Yet on Sunday's Face the Nation, Brennan badgered former New Jersey governor and Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie for his party to move on from their investigation into how Hunter Biden was given a plea deal on tax fraud and gun application fraud charges. Christie quickly…

On Sunday’s Face the Nation, CBS host Margaret Brennan went around and around with Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-TX) over abortion and bemoaning how Democrats have “not been able to deliver on” expanding and protecting the barbarous act of being able to kill unborn children. Not that abortion isn’t a top of mind issue for liberals and their media allies, but the topic came up as…

During the panel discussion on CBS’s Face the Nation, fill-in anchor John Dickerson said the quiet part out loud Sunday when discussing the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump when he expressed his concern that Trump and his allies in the Republican Party could frame the indictment in a way that makes there more of an appetite for Trump. 

On Sunday, CBS’s Face the Nation was the only one of the four liberal Sunday talk shows to mention the bombshell …

For the second week in a row, the four liberal March 26 Sunday roundtable shows ignored the rapidly growing scandal surrounding the Biden family’s corrupt overseas business dealings, even as new details continued to unravel. Instead, of reporting on the hard evidence in the Hunter Biden probe and other alleged crimes and corruption surrounding the Biden family, they spent considerable airtime…
