Tim Walz

Newly minted Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (MN) has a major problem on his hands due to his penchant for embellishing his record of service at the Army National Guard. The networks who so warmly welcomed him into the race are now doing their level best to spin this problem away.

During a Monday morning segment of CNN Newsroom, host Jim Acosta invited Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton and Democratic strategist Maria Cardona to discuss the plummeting stock market. As the episode progressed, Acosta allowed Cardona to insist on America’s economic strength and Vice President Kamala Harris’ political genius, prompting Singleton to expose the blatant…

After the Kamala Harris campaign named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett conducted a cozy interview with his fellow Minnesota pol, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, on Tuesday evening, and quickly transformed himself into a liberal media cliché. Bennett: "The Trump campaign is already pouncing, calling him dangerously liberal and saying that the Harris/Walz…

Sighh, they really are trying to make fetch happen. Like ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings did what they thought was needed to project joy over the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket and claim they’re “electric” kick off rally was the start of something special. Reacting to clips of The Daily Show fawning over Walz, fill-in co-…

Wednesday on NBC’s Today, the red carpet was rolled out for Vice President Kamala Harris’s new running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), cheering the “raucous opening rally” a day earlier to celebrate Harris naming a “plainspoken”, “progressive” man oozing “relatability” with “small town, Midwestern roots” and supports “LGBTQ protections”.

On Morning Joe, after Mike Barnicle slobbers over the Walz VP announcement rally, Jonathan Lemire enthuses over Tim Walz's line, "mind your own damn business." Democrats the new libertarians? Hardly! They're the party that  wants to control countless facets of people's lives.  

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had not even been VP Kamala Harris’s running mate for 12 hours before MSNBC’s All In host Chris Hayes accused Republicans of “swift boating” him on Tuesday. On Wednesday, CNN’s Jim Acosta and Brianna Keilar followed suit by also turning the clock back to 2004 as they defended Walz from GOP criticism.

ABC’s Good Morning America understood the assignment on Wednesday to play proverbial clapping seals over Vice President Kamala Harris picking Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate, casting him as a “folksy”, innocent guy from Minnesota with a “meteoric” “rise” who “fired up” a Philadelphia rally but can also “reach out to the rural conservative voters”.

Comedy Central's The Daily Show’s temp host of the week, Michael Kosta, welcomed Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday by praising Walz’s liberal record as governor of Minnesota. Even jokes nominally about Walz were more about Midwestern stereotypes than Walz.

The network evening newscasts wasted no time welcoming Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to the bright lights of national politics as he was announced as Vice President Kamala Harris’s chosen running mate. And it was a warm welcome, indeed.

It seems that with the unfolding of another election year, book tours are often a major campaigning tool. Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (CA) was invited on CBS Mornings as a key guest for the morning show. Yet just as Dr. Jill Biden, and Chelsea Clinton have done in the past, what started out as an interview quickly became CBS and Pelosi’s chance to campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris announced her running mate pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), on Tuesday morning. MSNBC’s Morning Joe wasted no time in showering praise on the Governor for his apparently numerous positive qualities, insisting he would help secure the win for the Harris campaign with a “twinkle in his eye.”

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio hosted Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on Morning Edition with A Martinez. The whole interview was dedicated to praising “thoughtful” and “optimistic” Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, who Kamala Harris chose to be her running mate on Monday.

Since ABC’s The View was in between seasons, the Cackling Coven didn’t have a televised outlet to spew their gooey praise for Vice President Kamala Harris’s pick for running mate. Since their vanity couldn’t be satiated by a camera, they had to settle for posting their hot takes lauding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) on X.
