On Thursday night after Vice President Mike Pence’s 2020 RNC speech, ABC journalists and liberal panelists were less-than-pleased he didn’t forcefully speak out against Sunday’s shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, condemn armed individuals defending businesses from rioters, and accept responsibility for the size and scope of the coronavirus pandemic.

After another successful night of the Republican National Convention, panicked reporters on Wednesday’s network morning shows wildly declared that the entire event could be “illegal” and “possibly a violation of the Hatch Act,” which regulates how and when government officials engage in campaign politics. Making it clear who was issuing the marching orders, the broadcasts touted “House…

Between Senator Tim Scott’s well-received Monday night speech, stories on both nights from everyday Americans, and remarks from rising stars, Tuesday’s RNC festivities resulted in a no good, awful, very bad day for the broadcast networks. Minutes into their coverage, ABC and CBS spontaneously combusted upon seeing President Trump holding a naturalization ceremony at the White House.

Late Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks were trapped between a rock and a hard place. ABC, CBS, and NBC found themselves begrudgingly praising First Lady Melania Trump’s 2020 RNC speech and while they did plenty of that, they found an escape hatch by using her speech to broadly attack all speakers before her on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, NBC Nightly News anchor…

It’s really amazing how often so-called “news” reports sound identical to press releases from the Democratic Party. On Tuesday, network morning show coverage of the first night of the Republican National Convention was quite literally composed of Biden campaign talking points smearing the event. Reporters on ABC and CBS even brazenly announced that fact to viewers.

In contrast to their reactions last week to night one of the 2020 DNC, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were dismayed, perturbed, and upset by night one of the virtual 2020 RNC that they deemed a night that was almost entirely “apocalyptic,” “dark,” and thus the opposite of “upbeat and optimistic.” Along with their reaction to Senator Tim Scott’s speech, various network…

As CBS and NBC were pulling out all their respective stops on Thursday to boost their preferred presidential candidate Joe Biden following his DNC speech, ABC engaged in the same, partisan campaign heralding the “sincere” Biden’s “finest hour” that “met this moment” in the form of a “compelling” and “stark speech” of “hope.”

As much as the broadcast networks would have liked to, they couldn’t spend all week talking about Barack and Michelle Obama during their coverage of the virtual 2020 DNC. That said, they were able to muster fawning praise Wednesday night for vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s “soaring speech,” ensuring Americans “saw [Harris and Joe Biden] as human beings.” 

The first two nights of the Democratic National Convention were snooze fests. So, ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News were on a mission to hype night three, which would feature Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), two-time presidential failure Hillary Clinton, and former President Barack Obama. Of course, it was the latter that had the networks excited, with both touting how…

When the far-left are unhappy, their supporters in the media are unhappy. That rule was clearly on display Wednesday morning as ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS This Morning both whined that radical socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was not given enough time to spout her anti-capitalism propaganda at the Democratic National Convention.  

On the day Jill Biden was set to take the stage at the virtual Democratic National Convention, an exclusive from the U.K.'s Daily Mail documented allegations from her first husband, Bill Stevenson, who claims their marriage was destroyed because she cheated on him with then-Senator Joe Biden. Despite the allegations being fresh news, the Tuesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC…

Given that ABC’s World News Tonight bookended the newscast with over 11 minutes (11:04) on former Vice President Joe Biden’s selection of Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) to be his 2020 Democratic running mate, it was obvious they were in love with their ticket. Beyond that, senior congressional correspondent Mary Bruce and Chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl were disgusted with…

From the same interview where he asked CBS's Errol Barnett (a black journalist moderating an NABJ/NAHJ event) “are you a junkie” earlier this week, a new video circulated Thursday that exposed just what Joe Biden and Democratic Party think of black community: they’re a monolithic voting block that thinks exactly alike. And after the video went viral, NewsBusters wondered if the liberal media…

In an attempt on Wednesday to again protect their presidential candidate from himself, ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News spiked an interview Joe Biden did the National Association for Black and Hispanic Journalists. In the controversial video, Biden snapped at black CBS correspondent Errol Barnett (who asked about Biden’s mental fitness) and demanded to know, “Are…
