Donald Trump

Morning Joe doubts a CNN poll showing Biden tied with Trump and losing to almost all the other Republican contenders. Jon Meacham flatly says, "I don't believe these polls."

Ahead of his final episode as moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd surfaced Friday morning on Today alongside co-host and longtime friend Savannah Guthrie to not only preview his final show and have Guthrie wish him well as he takes a few steps down at the network, but kvetch about Hunter Biden’s life of ruin being an outlet for Donald Trump “to sort of muddy the…

After spending much of 2022 hysterically warning that the midterms might be the last free and fair election, MSNBC’s The 11th Hour spent Thursday that the 2024 elections will be “the last election that we can recognize” if either Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis is wins.

The late night comedy shows may be on strike which means they’ve had to go four months without offering up their hot takes on the news which they sought the remedy on the Thursday’s edition of their Strike Force Five podcast. When asked which news story he regrets not being able to cover, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel naturally chose Donald Trump.

If the Southern Poverty Law Center says so, it must be true or at least that’s what MSNBC’s Alex Wagner tried to argue on her Wednesday show as she attacked the group Moms for Liberty and various Republican presidential candidates for seeking to win their support.

The awkwardly named Washington Week with The Atlantic, a weekly political roundtable of journalists which appears on tax-supported PBS, defended President Biden from scurrilous Republican questions about his age and fitness in last Friday’s edition. While the panel did address the important matter of the gerontocracy currently running the country, several of the panelists seemed to…

Hot off the presses! On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I discuss a brand new Rich Noyes on NewsBusters about the broadcast networks omitting the political party connections of the prosecutors going after former President Trump. Hint: They’re connected to Democrats. We also talked about the return of The View after their summer vacation.

Even though the various legal cases against Donald Trump are taking place in the obviously partisan environment of a presidential election, an examination of ABC, CBS and NBC evening news coverage finds the networks rarely identified even elected Democratic prosecutors as “Democrats.”

Leftist billionaire Alex Soros warned that his Open Society Foundations is not done with Europe, promising to remain active there and even increase aid in some cases. 

Morning Joe expresses frustration that Biden is tied with Trump in the polls, and, because of his age, is not getting credit for his supposed accomplishments on the economy and other issues. Journalist Katty Kay spoke of the White House being "frustrated" by the poll. But the frustration of the panel itself was glaringly evident. Poor Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson embodied…

The View returned from their summer vacation following the Labor Day weekend on Tuesday for their 27^th season, and the cackling coven of ABC News co-hosts were itching to take swipes at former President Trump since they missed most of his indictments. Fill-in moderator Joy Behar (Whoopi Goldberg was out with COVID again, despite being vaccinated and boosted) was so scared…

Pauline Kael knew she wasn’t a representative American. The onetime New Yorker film critic is famous in folk memory for having said she didn’t know anyone who voted for Richard Nixon in 1972, when he won a 49-state landslide.  The way her words are misremembered, she was surprised that someone so reviled by her social set could win the White Hous

Similar to Pauline Kael's reputed famous line in 1968 that she couldn't understand how Nixon won, since nobody she knew voted for him, on CNN This Morning co-host Phil Mattingly says the people he talks to can't understand how Donald Trump can remain tied with Joe Biden in the polls. 

On Morning Joe, Willie Geist says that Trump lawyers John Eastman, Sidney Powell, and Rudy Giuliani make frequent TV appearances because they "crave" attention. Meanwhile, Geist himself is omnipresent on NBC and MSNBC, with eight different gigs.
