Prior to Tuesday’s guilty verdict in the corruption trial of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez (NJ), the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC spent only nine minutes (8:56) on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday morning political talk shows. But by Tuesday night, they came out of the wilderness with six minutes of coverage (6:08).

An utter lack of class was on full display on MSNBC Tuesday night as they were kicking off their coverage of Night Two of the Republican National Convention. In his opening monologue for The Beat, host Ari Melber suggested that former President Trump’s bandaged ear – injured after he was shot in the head during a failed assassination attempt – was “a prop” and “a spectacle” being “…

Former President Trump literally getting shot in the head wasn’t enough to get the ladies of ABC’s The View to stop engaging in stochastic terrorism, via incendiary rhetoric that incites people to violence. They insisted that their claims of Trump ending the country if elected were the “truth” and were said with good “intention,” thus were above reproach and didn’t need to be…

While delegates were being counted on Monday during the Republican National Convention, MSNBC sent Jacob Soboroff to the floor to interview Donald Trump Jr. about what his father’s second term would look during Katy Tur Reports. The pair battled over whether Trump was “divisive” before Trump Jr. ultimately told Soboroff to “get out of here” as he spread some fake news over immigration…

After many hours of covering the Trump-shooting story, CNN is reverting to questioning Donald Trump (and now J.D. Vance) as sympathizers of Vladimir Putin. On Tuesday morning, anchor Kate Bolduan pressed House Majority Whip Tom Emmer on Ukraine, starting with a reflexive defense of Biden.

In the first White House press briefing since the failed assassination attempt on former President Trump, reporters from across the spectrum surprisingly took the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre to task for failing to state whether President Biden believes he too has to lower the proverbial temperature of our body politic. Along with Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich and Edward Lawrence, they also had cover…

Seth Meyers, NBC’s host of Late Night, solemnly reacted on Monday to the Saturday attempted assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump by appropriately denouncing political violence, but inappropriately blaming the situation on the lack of gun control in America and accusing Republicans of making things worse in the aftermath of the shooting.

Following a solemn introduction where he recalled various acts of political violence dating back to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in his youth, CBS’s Stephen Colbert returned to the jokes on Monday's edition of The Late Show as he and CNN pundit and former Rep. Adam Kinzinger mocked the GOP and President Trump’s ability to “dial it down” at the Republican National Convention…

Not long after MSNBC’s Joy Reid decried the reasonable notion that former President Trump shouldn't be viewed as a “victim” after literally getting shot in the head during a failed assassination attempt, during their Monday coverage of night one of the Republican National Convention, she took disgusting swipes at the minority Republicans who were vying to be his vice president; suggesting they…

Not long after the assassination attempt on former President Trump, MSNBC host Joy Reid made her X account private over the weekend, possibly to hide the incendiary anti-Rhetoric she spewed for years. So, the network’s Monday night coverage of the night one of the Republican National Convention was Reid first public comments on the shooting. Of course, they were vile. She expressed her “fear”…

ABC’s The View – like the rest of the liberal media – had used incendiary rhetoric against former President Trump for years and had hosted many calls for violence against their political opponents. Yet, in the wake of the assassination attempt against Trump, the liberal ladies opened their Monday show with mealy-mouth lip service to the need to tamp down the rhetoric; refusing to…

Monday morning began with a flood of information regarding the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump Saturday afternoon. Following a clear fluke by the secret Service, pressures mount for a claim for such a clear failure. Yet, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who oversees the Secret Service, ignored questions from CNN's Kate Bolduan on the topic, deflecting the blame…

On Monday morning, the White House correspondents on ABC, CBS, and NBC all eagerly played the role of unofficial Biden press aides by touting his Sunday night address to the nation as a plea to use the attempted assassination of Donald Trump as “an urgent plea...to cool down the political temperatures” and a task for Americans “to unite” by “restor[ing] civility”. 

On Saturday following the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, CBS was out of control in demanding Republicans be the ones to lower the proverbial temperature and alter their rhetoric to soothe our collective body politic. Of course, as our Alex Christy wrote about earlier, they even expressed concern about the well-being of…themselves.
