After outrageously ignoring the initial story during their flagship morning shows, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News refused to update viewers on a new revelation in the incident involving white powder being sent in envelopes to members of the Kansas Republican Party which is that they were also sent to former President Trump and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. …

CNN This Morning presented viewers on Tuesday with the breaking news that Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis was friends with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and that they first met three years ago at the 2020 Federalist Society Dinner.

Monday on ABC’s Good Morning America, co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos trotted out far-left author Michael Waldman to tout his new book The Supermajority that doubled as a screed with the thesis that, in Stephanopoulos’s summation, conservative justices are “a threat to democracy” for rulings he believes are counter to a center-left country.
