Robert Menendez

MSNBC’s decision to bench the Morning Joe crew in the name of “lowering the temperature while allowing the prime-time lineup to run amuck at the Republican National Convention is, to put it charitably, a head-scratching decision. Tonight’s shameless and spurious comparison of the parties’ dealing with felony convictions serves as proof evident of the folly of that decision.

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).

The Democrats want to run for office on the issue of "Democracy," because they think the Republicans are somehow opposed.  They never sound stranger than when they warn that a re-elected Donald Trump will use the powers of government for revenge on his political enemies. They can't grasp the fact that many voters see a vast conspiracy of partisan prosecutors trying to convict and imprison…

As the trial of former President Donald Trump winds down, most of the networks appear to be willfully neglecting that other high-profile trial in New York: the second trial of New Jersey Senator Bob Menéndez (D-NJ) on corruption charges.

The latest NewsBusters study found 573 minutes of Trump-trial coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC, but less than eight minutes for the trial of Sen. Bob "Gold Bars" Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey. It's funny how GOP scandals always "overshadow" the Democrats when the networks create the "news."

Faux-conservative ABC News co-host Ana Navarro was back to defending her close friend Democratic Senator Bob Menendez (NJ) from credible allegations of corruption on Friday’s edition of The View. Despite insisting she doesn’t “excuse him,” she was quite busy blaming Menendez’s wife for getting him into the situation that he was in, and seemingly tried to suggest he might have bought…

In a story published Saturday online and appearing on the front page of Monday’s print edition, The Washington Times’s Valerie Richardson detailed a sampling of the far-left earmarks inside Friday’s spending package to keep the government open that would assist groups in helping underage children become transgender, fund drag shows, and hospitals that conduct abortions.

In 2020, Joe Biden won three states by less than 1 point: Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin. If Donald Trump can flip these three in November — he took them all in 2016 — he’ll be back in the White House this time next year. Can he do it? First he has to hold every state he won last time. Trump’s narrowest victory was in North Carolina, where his margin was a little more than 1.3%. His home state…

As tonight’s network evening newscasts went on the air, news broke of a superseding indictment in the federal bribery case against U.S. Sen. Bob Menéndez (D-NJ). Of the three major networks, only CBS made time to cover the story.

Things took an interesting turn on Friday’s edition of ABC’s The View in the wake of Republican Congressman George Santos (NY) getting ousted from the House in a bipartisan vote. While the liberal ladies generally cheered Santos’s ouster, lines were drawn when the corruption allegations against Democratic Senator Bob Menendez (NJ) were thrown into the mix. Co-hosts Ana Navarro and…

Six years ago, the networks had a chance to properly report on Senator Robert Menendez’s (D-NJ) alleged corruption during an earlier federal trial, and they blew it. NewsBusters documented how ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN buried the embarrassing (for Democrats) trial detailing how Menendez accepted extravagant gifts and travel, in exchange for federal favors.

In the first three weeks after the writers’ strike, the late night joke tellers picked right back up where they left off: telling Trump jokes at the expense of almost everything else, including comedy gold mines in Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez’s corruption scandal and Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulling a Congressional fire alarm, a NewsBusters study has found. At the same time, jokes about Republican…

On Thursday, allegedly corrupt New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez was indicted on charges of "conspiracy to act as a foreign agent." And if you watched ABC's World News Tonight or NBC Nightly News though, you would never know what party he belonged to since neither bothered to report his party label. Only CBS Evening News did. Of course, this was intentional since he's…

During a panel discussion on Univision’s Sunday political affairs show Al Punto, anchor Luis Carlos Vélez went where very few in media, if any, have gone; calling for the resignation or removal of U.S. Senator Bob Menéndez (D-NJ) in light of his most recent indictment on corruption charges.
