Campaigns & Elections

Thursday’s edition of PBS’s Amanpour and Company went off the rails when guest host Bianna Golodryga welcomed The Atlantic staff writer David Graham to discuss supposed threats to next year’s midterm elections. The duo would muse about everything from Marines seizing ballot boxes to the idea that the elections will be the fake sort that you get in places like Russia, but no…

The Associated Press is doing its utmost to cast President Donald Trump as the bogeyman of America’s economic woes, despite having a sordid record of carrying water for the Bidenomics policies that put us in this mess to begin with.

It was a Democratic wave election, and the journalists went surfing. The amount of TV coverage of off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City was minimal this fall, perhaps because Democrats were feeling good about their chances and didn't want to give publicity to their opponents. Negative angles on Zohran Mamdani or Jay Jones were ignored or downplayed. MRCTV's Brittany…

The media's changing portrayal of Andrew Cuomo contrasts starkly from adoration during early Covid-19 to disdain after his career's decline, amid scandals. Once celebrated for leadership contrasting Trump's, Cuomo's fall shows how media favor can shift drastically if one defies the approved narrative. Critics now emphasize his bullying, suggesting media love hinges on alignment with their…

While all the late night hosts rejoiced on their Wednesday shows over Democrats’ Tuesday election victories, the eponymous hosts of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers were especially eager to promote socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral victory.

During post-election coverage on Tuesday night, CNN contributors Van Jones and Scott Jennings didn’t seem particularly happy with mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s (D) angry victory speech. They found it a significant tone-shift from his campaign and believed it would only further divide New Yorkers and the “large tent” Democratic Party.

On Wednesday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC were riding high and drunk on power after seeing their preferred candidates sweep with socialist Zohran Mamdani’s “astonishing surge” in New York City and Democrats Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey, and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia romping to huge wins, declaring this a GOP “bloodbath” and “glimmer of hope” for Democrats in 2026 with “a guidebook” to…

On Wednesday, ABC’s Good Morning America was ebullient over the blue wave Tuesday night in four blue states (California, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia) and predictably making long-reaching proclamations about 2026 as nationwide blue tsunami against President Trump and the GOP, including supposed popularity of democratic socialism. As part of their morning-after celebrations, the…

Lara Trump, host of The Right View podcast, sat down with Tim Graham, Executive Editor of NewsBusters and Brittany Hughes, Managing Editor of MRCTV on Tuesday night to talk about the biased media coverage leading up to the election and dish about former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's disastrous book tour.

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough sought to present himself as the kindly, non-partisan political consultant, saying he had warned Republicans not to overreach after their 2024 victories, or imagine they'd occupy the White House forever. "And if you go too fast, voters will knock you on your ass immediately. And that's what happened yesterday." 

Election Night on the soon-to-be-former MSNBC was about as you’d expect: equal parts liberal brain rot and, on a night where the left made significant gains, a twinge of smug insufferability. Here are a few select moments from their coverage.

On Election Day, MSNBC’s Morning Joe spent over 17 minutes of airtime with the Democratic Nominee for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and even gave him 30 uninterrupted seconds towards the end to make his case to voters. The puff-piece interview came across like a last-minute attempt to make sure he got across the finish line instead of a legitimate inquiry into his positions.…

Barring a massive upset on Tuesday, communist Zohran Madmani was headed to a victory in the New York City mayoral race and was greeted with fawning coverage in the elitist, liberal media on their flagship Tuesday morning news shows, declaring him as someone “snowballing” his “way towards history” with a “focus on affordability” and “robust” and “savvy social media-driven campaign.”

There’s no getting around it: Our "corporate media" is down on capitalism, and a new poll showing a growing disdain for the foundation of American economic thought shows the media tilt may be working -- or the professorial tilt.
