PBS celebrated the return of the ancient “October Surprise” election conspiracy theory -- the unsubstantiated rumor that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, led by William Casey, delayed the release of the 52 American hostages in Iran in order to win election over Democrat Jimmy Carter. The original version was advanced by former Carter aide Gary Sick before being discredited…

CNN's Poppy Harlow gushes "I love that" over a report that Jimmy Carter invited Rosalynn to attend cabinet meetings. But the liberal media was aghast over news Donald Trump permitted Melania into the Situation Room on one occasion.

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made his second stop on the gauntlet of CBS shows on Monday’s CBS Mornings after a stop on Sunday’s Face the Nation (and ahead of Monday’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) promoting his book It’s Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism. While Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan pressed Sanders on his latest act of…

Journalists love to use past presidents to measure today’s politicians, either to build up those who exemplify their historical liberal heroes, or to belittle conservatives with whom they disagree.

In the wake of the “Twitter Files,” let’s revisit former President Barack Obama’s warning last April about the spread of misinformation: “You just have to flood a country’s public square with enough raw sewage.

Political humorist and satirist Andy Borowitz joined Walter Isaacson on Friday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS to discuss his new book Profiles in Ignorance which purports to report on the country’s growing anti-intellectualism.

On CBS's Sunday Morning, John Dickerson filmed a news segment for the show to discuss Biden's first year in office and how he has done. While filming a segment like this you would expect experts from both sides of the aisle to be interviewed, unfortunately, it appears that never crossed Dickerson's mind. 

On Morning Joe, liberal Ed Luce of the Financial Times discusses his current column, in which he sees similarities between the presidencies of Jimmy Carter and that of Joe Biden. Luce twice describes a current sense of "drift."

On New Day, Democrat Bakari Sellers, a CNN political commentator, speaks of "the malaise that we’re in now with the resurgence of the virus, inflation, et cetera." In doing so, Sellers echoed Kamala Harris, who over the weekend said America was at a "level of malaise."

On Friday, NBC’s Today show echoed the infamous words of former President Jimmy Carter as it told Americans to “turn down the thermostat” in order to deal with wildly inflated fuel costs this winter.
