Susan Collins

The Elitist Media Evening News have been busy framing this midterm election from angles most unfavorable to Republicans and to President Donald Trump, with two consistent mantras: negative polling and gas prices. However, a slew of stories have emerged that draw absolutely no coverage on the broadcast network evening news. Here are some of the latest.

In a debate for a Maine Senate seat, Democrat Troy Jackson told 73-year-old Republican Susan Collins to “shut up.” Morning Joe devoted precisely zero seconds in its three hours to the incident. The Maine race only came up to report that Jackson is outraising Collins. Things were better at CNN This Morning. At least they discussed the incident, though relegating it to the show’s last segment.…

The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks is supposed to be PBS News Hour’s Friday conservative weekly news recapper, but he often sounds indistinguishable from MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart. However, he occasionally stumbles into an aggressive form of centrism, where he condemns just about everyone, and Friday was one of those occasions. Looking at the state of discourse in the midterm Senate…

On Friday, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC chose not to show on their top morning newscasts a single instance in which any of the Democratic senatorial candidates who debated Thursday night – Georgia incumbent Jon Ossoff, Maine’s Troy Jackson, and Michigan’s Abdul el-Sayed – were put on the defensive by their Republican opponents. Rather, they chalked it up to “personal” attacks, and the…

On Wednesday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today waved the proverbial pom-poms for Democrats who took to debate stages Tuesday night against key Republican candidates, heralding them for “pushing back” and “tying” Republican Senator Susan Collins (ME) and gubernatorial candidates John James (MI) and Rick Jackson (GA) to Trump, seemingly as wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Maine Senator Susan Collins may be the most liberal Republican in the Senate, but for NBC’s The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and Comedy Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, that is not enough. Whether it was Fallon last Wednesday or Stewart on Monday, both men tried to suggest Collins is actually that moderate as she runs for re-election. Fallon also went even further as he…

Maine Democrats have settled on former State Senate President Troy Jackson to replace scandal-plagued Graham Platner as their Senate nominee, and, as it turns out, he too has his own personal issues. On Tuesday’s Money, Power, Politics, MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle sanitized Jackson’s anger outbursts to a simple “temper” while claiming that “might be exactly what voters are looking for.”

The fatal shooting of a Colombian migrant in Maine on Monday morning was undoubtedly a tragedy, but until more information comes out, it’s probably best to hold off passing judgement, especially if you have a national news show. But MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell instead pounced right onto Maine’s Republican Senator Susan Collins on Tuesday’s episode of The Last Word. He blamed Senator Susan…

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour on Friday to recap the week’s news, which naturally highlighted Graham Platner’s decision to exit the Maine Senate race after being accused of rape amid a long list of other scandals. In contrast to what he said a month ago after the first accusations of violence towards women came out, Capehart declared he was happy to see Platner go because…

According to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Ronny Chieng, Graham Platner had to end his Senate campaign after being credibly accused of rape and sexual assault because nobody would vote for him except the woman who would have been his opponent: Sen. Susan Collins. In order to make such a claim, Chieng simply assumed the evidence against Planter is as strong as the evidence…

It seems like ever since the votes were counted in Maine on Tuesday night, and Graham Platner officially became the Democrat's nominee to take on five term incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in November, many in the leftist media have started to portray the match-up as a choice between a catastrophic status quo, and a super hero, who will help right all of the horrors created by Donald…

As scandal-plagued candidate Graham Platner claimed victory in the Democratic Maine Senate primary, the Democratic party and media establishment quickly warmed up to their new hope to seize the Senate. On Tuesday night, CNN’s The Source host Kaitlan Collins interviewed Congressman Ro Khanna on his stance on Platner and his multitude of scandals. Fortunately, Bulldog Award Winner Shermichael…

Tuesday was primary day in Maine and three other states, so Maine Democrat Graham Platner’s life of ruin was seemingly unavoidable. While we saw NBC finally get off the sidelines and offer consistent coverage following last week’s allegations by ex-girlfriends in The New York Times, the peacock network gushed Platner’s stormy seas have “energized progressives” and “strengthen[ed] his bond”…

Friday’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher brought out the best and worst of the eponymous host. On one hand, Maher reacted to Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s ever-growing list of scandals by claiming he would have thought a Nazi tattoo was a conservative thing and that in the past, sex scandals have only been disqualifying for Democrats. However, in the Overtime segment, he…
