Overall, the broadcast networks have spent only 5 minutes, 50 seconds TOTAL in four months (June 18 through to September 19), since the Biden mental decline hearings began. 

Remember that blowout September 2024 jobs report the broadcast networks slobbered over in October just before the presidential election? Well, the government admitted last week to a big whoopsie in configuring the jobs numbers. Sure enough, ABC CBS and NBC were clearly not as keen on letting viewers know they just mindlessly swallowed up what the Biden administration spit out for political…

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension was his own fault. The ABC late night host’s mean-spirited commentary disguised as comedy drove conservatives away. Kimmel was completely unconcerned with this development, but his desire to turn his show into a liberal echo chamber might prove to be his downfall because when he claimed that conservatives were desperately trying to “characterize this kid who murdered…

Since last summer, when CNN NewsNight shifted to an panel discussion-only format, host Abby Phillip has been praised for consistently inviting prominent conservatives onto the otherwise lopsidedly left-wing network. But with how rarely Phillip actually permits said conservative guests to finish a point without interrupting them, NewsNight is more akin to a televised struggle…

ABC, CBS, NBC censor deadly crash in Florida allegedly caused by illegal immigrant trucker.

Liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have been citing fabricated statistics in an attempt to debunk President Trump’s claims on Monday about rampant crime in Washington, D.C. Over the past 24 hours, these two networks have cited the dubious statistics over 70 times, while refusing to acknowledge that a D.C. police official was suspended for tampering with those stats just months ago.

On July 25, ABC News program, The View concluded their 28^th season, putting them on hiatus until return for Season 29 in September. But in spite of being founded to share a wide range of opinions, a new NewsBusters study discovered that in the first seven months of 2025, the cast spoke with ZERO guests that promoted conservative or pro-Trump policies. Looking back into 2024…

The broadcast networks have buried former President Joe Biden’s autopen scandal. 

Washington Week with The Atlantic, public television’s taxpayer-funded weekly political roundtable featuring a rotating stable of journalists, touts itself as "objective.” But a review of the last three months of Washington Week (April 4, 2025 – June 27, 2025) proved Trump-phobic liberalism still reigns over the public airwaves: Republicans were covered negatively 93 percent…

On June 25, a 33-year-old Marxist Muslim named Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City. Over the following week, broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS ran nearly an hour of coverage about the self-described democratic socialist, but spent less than two minutes on his numerous radical positions and scandals.

For the men of the late night comedy talk shows, the first half of 2025 was an instance of history repeating itself. According to a NewsBusters study, 99 percent of their political guests were on the left, matching the result for the last six months of 2024.

Despite the growing trend of left-wing extremist violence during the first six months of the Trump administration (including the DC Jewish Museum shooting, the firebombing of a GOP building in Albuquerque, and the anti-deportation riots Los Angeles), talking heads on TV news remained reluctant to acknowledge the existence of the American far left. However, those same journalists had no qualms…

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening, morning and magazine news programs, from June 18 (the day of the hearing) through the morning of June 23, and found there was NO coverage of the “autopen” hearings.  

Thursday marked the end of an era, albeit a brief one. CBS’s After Midnight hosted by Taylor Tomlinson aired its last episode as Tomlinson leaves the late night scene to return to do standup full time. After Midnight was originally advertised as a different kind of late night show. There would be no monologues, just a game show where a trio of comedians would improv answers…
