Donald Trump

On the cusp of the first presidential debate, the "news" media have two partisan spins. They obsess over Trump's arrest in Georgia and play up his legal jeopardy, while their coverage of President Biden avoids all gaffes and blunders and touts the "Empathizer in Chief" in Maui.

The four-indictment whirlwind around Donald Trump – alongside a courtroom battle over an ancient rape allegation – has dominated the narrative of the Republican campaign. Where are the issues? So far this year, stump speeches aren’t making the news. Only arrests and arraignments are.

PolitiFact celebrated its 16th birthday on Tuesday and while some may mark the occasion by remembering about that one time they defended President Obama by citing an arms control treaty that went defunct in 1936, author Katie Sanders celebrated by highlighting the website’s devotion to left-wing causes.

Even a milquetoast Republican who hates Donald Trump just as much as they do isn’t safe on MSNBC. At least that was the case on Monday afternoon when former Arkansas Republican governor Asa Hutchinson appeared on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House in what he probably thought was going to be a friendly, softball interview with host Nicolle Wallace and her assembled cast. Things turned south very…

Chronically the third-place cable news outlet, CNN was the little goblin biting at the ankles of Fox News, the cable news giant. So, of course, it brought CNN great joy to see that former President Trump had chosen to avoid taking part in the first Republican presidential debate, which was hosted by their rival. Senior media correspondent Oliver Darcy beamed on Monday as he boasted about Trump…

Showing disrespect for Republican primary voters, former President Trump announced Sunday night that he would not be attending the first Republican primary debate later in the week with reports suggesting he was planning to counterprogram the event with an interview with Tucker Carlson. ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings welcomed the internal party drama and hyped Trump’s attempt to…

A new Media Research Center study finds the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts focused 74% of their GOP campaign coverage on Donald Trump, with the remaining candidates forced to split the remaining airtime. Most TV coverage of Trump (90%) was negative, but the media also bashed his nearest challenger Ron DeSantis (78% negative).

When Jake Tapper tried to claim it was wildly wrong for Fox host Laura Ingraham to suggest liberal networks were reveling in the Trump indictments, he should have imagined MSNBC regulars sounding giddy at Trump being arraigned in Georgia in "a really dirty, dangerous scary place," where he could end up "really freaked out."

Is the media starting to panic? Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd put up a graphic during his roundtable discussion which compared President Joe Biden's most recent standing in the polls with where he was in October 2020, as well as Hillary Clinton's poll numbers in October 2016. This clearly made him nervous since Biden is far behind where both he and Clinton were. Of course, he couldn't…

NBC's Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd opened his program on Sunday with a mini temper tantrum due to the majority of the 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls and even President Joe Biden steering away from attacking former President Donald Trump in the manner Todd demands. Of course, the icing on the cake was Todd's insistence that Republicans staying "silent has left a massive moral…

Joe Scarborough, saying "innocent people don't do that," argued Friday that Donald Trump's attempt to push his federal trial related to January 6th back to 2026 is evidence of his awareness of guilt.

CNN's Jake Tapper sent a savage tweet over Laura Ingraham's segment on the leftist media "humiliating themselves" and reveling in Trump indictments and mug shots. Fox was wildly unfair and dishonest about CNN! 

New York Times "democracy reporter" Nick Corasaniti adopted a vengeful tone in his report on Trump allies getting their legal comeuppance. The headline: “After Years of Lies, Election Deniers Face Something New: Consequences.” Corasaniti pushed a sinister argument: "Legal experts say those convictions are a key reason that recent provocations by Mr. Trump after his series of indictments have…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says, "we don't need to hear what they [conservative media] say. It doesn't matter what they say...We all know where this is going."
