FLASHBACK: Lauer’s ‘Kiss’ Obsession With Gore a Little Weirder Now
Given what we now know about Matt Lauer and his creepy office with an automatic door lock, his August 21, 2000 Today interview with Al Gore looks weirder in retrospect. It was 22 years ago this week that the now-disgraced ex-NBC host obsessed over “the kiss” between the then-Vice President and his then-wife Tipper Gore at the 2000 Democratic National Convention: “You really planted one on Mrs…
‘On the Attack’; Nets Hail ‘Fiery’ Biden’s ‘Semi-Fascism’ Smear on GOP
The liberal media have spent years insisting that rhetoric from Donald Trump and his supporters about the media and their leftists allies are not only wrong, but dangerous. However, when it comes to their friends inflaming tensions and assigning the worst motives to conservatives, the liberal media either ignore it or endorse it and that’s what they did in trumpeting President Biden’s “fiery”…
NBC Marks ‘Goodnight Moon’ Anniversary, NOT Afghan Suicide Bombing
One year ago on Friday, August 26, 2021, 11 Marines, a soldier and a sailor were killed in a suicide bombing during the botched withdrawal of U.S. troops. The network morning shows on Friday (and the evening shows on Thursday night) couldn’t be bothered to mark the somber one year anniversary. There was no mention on the NBC Nightly News, Today, ABC’s World News Tonight, Good Morning America…
Collective Yawn: Nets Bury CA’s RADICAL Move to End Gas-Powered Cars
California is aggressively moving to end all gas-powered cars by the year 2035. You might think that would be a big deal on the networks. But you’d be wrong. ABC and NBC responded with a collective yawn on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, allowing 23 seconds and 30 seconds, respectively. But that’s still better than CBS. The network avoided California’s radical move, skipping it on the…
Nets Cheer Dems Having ‘Road Map’ to Win Midterms With Abortion
The “big three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC tried on Wednesday morning to resurrect the Democratic Party’s midterm election prospects, using the results of a special election for a Hudson Valley seat in dark blue New York to insist their side has the “momentum” and a “road map” to put up “a fiercer fight” against Republicans by foisting abortion on voters as their top issue.
NBC Rediscovers Border, Laments ‘Republicans Are Seizing’ on Crisis
After having ignored the latest last week in the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, NBC’s Today decided on Monday to acknowledge the continued torrent of border crossings through the summer months. But instead of merely reporting on the crossings and how Governors Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Doug Ducey (R-AZ) have bussed illegal immigrants to New York City and Washington D.C. to help share the…
NBC Lobbies Cheney: Just Say It's Better for Dems to Keep Congress!
NBC on Wednesday repeatedly lobbied Liz Cheney to run for president after she lost her renomination bid for Congress. Today co-host Savannah Guthrie also repeated the media-created comparison that Cheney is Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars and Trump is Darth Vader.
NBC Now: Trump Is Darth Vader! NBC in 2011: Dick Cheney Is Vader!
NBC journalists need to decide who Darth Vader is in their tortured political analogies. On Tuesday’s Today, Hallie Jackson said to an on-screen colleague, “[Let me] raise you a Star Wars analogy.” Talking about the probable loss of Liz Cheney in Wyoming’s congressional primary, she connected, “I'm told by one source that Cheney's staffers are really big fans of a recent editorial that…
ABC, CBS Warn of No 'Transparency,' 'Overreach' in FBI’s Trump Raid
The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC dedicated extensive time Tuesday morning to the stunning news that former President Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida home of Mar-a-Lago was raided Monday night by the FBI, but the liberal networks were surprisingly not ready to celebrate with ABC and CBS noting there’s been very little “transparency from the Justice Department or the FBI” and, if they…
Guthrie Wonders If Offending China On Taiwan Is 'Worth It'
NBC Today host Savannah Guthrie was not convinced of the wisdom of Speak Pelosi’s recent trip to Taiwan. Given Beijing’s temper tantrum over the visit, Guthrie wondered “was it worth it” as she infantilized the communist regime by portraying it inevitable.
Nets Trumpet ‘Sweeping,’ ‘Landmark Victory’ for Dems in Spending Bill
Happy days are here again was the mantra Monday for the broadcast network morning news shows following the Senate’s passage of the massive spending boondoggle, deeming it a “landmark,” “sweeping,” and “hard-fought win” for President Biden as Democrats hope to win the midterm elections. This was despite the fact that, tucked inside their exuberant segments, not only was President Biden barely…
Nets Cheer Biden for Strike, Griped About Trump’s ‘Dangerous’ Droning
Last week, journalists and media personalities rightfully cheered the news that brutal terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri had been killed in a CIA drone strike. The networks used patriotic language and praised the efficiently executed attack. View co-host Joy Behar even compared Joe Biden to action hero Liam Neeson in Taken.
ABC, NBC Promote 'Historic' Democrat Spending Bill, Omit Criticism
If you watched either the Saturday edition of Today on NBC or ABC’s Good Morning America, you would have come away with the impression that Democrats would spend the voting to improve health care and the environment and reduce inflation and the deficit while Republicans try to stop them. Neither network provided any reason why someone might chose to oppose the bill.
State-Run TV: Nets Tout ‘Big Win,’ ‘Milestone’ for Lefty Boondoggle
Friday’s broadcast network morning shows were in a jovial mood as they celebrated a “big win” and “milestone” for America as President Biden and congressional Democrats are set to vote on their “historic” and “massive economic plan” they claim will lower inflation, help save the planet, make prescriptions cheaper, and increase taxes.
