On Tuesday afternoon, Vice President JD Vance helmed the second White House press briefing since Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went on maternity leave and, much like Secretary of State Marco Rubio did back on May 5, he deftly took on liberal journalists looking to trap him on the new Justice Department weaponization fund, the war in Iran, and even stocks. Vance’s strongest takedown came in…

The Elitist Media are feverishly trying to gin up a corruption scandal in The White House, while doing their level best to avoid reporting on actual corruption scandals that are happening as we speak. These omissions have migrated to their Sunday political shows.

After the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the state’s 10-1 Democratic gerrymander on Friday, ABC Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl joined World News Tonight to omit why the court ruled the way it did. By contrast, CBS Evening News host Tony Dokoupil referenced the ruling that held state Democrats violated the rules in how the map was drawn and put to voters, but then…

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows wasted no time in giving airtime to the recent lurid allegations that have surfaced against Congressman and California Gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell (D-Fang Fang). But their coverage itself seeks to avoid some of the broader substance of the issues.

On Wednesday, ABC and CBS were nauseatingly in awe on their flagship newscasts of far-left Texas State Representative James Talarico — who believes, among other things, God was non-binary and that Mary would support abortion — as possessing “cross-partisan appeal” in a campaign “emphasizing unity” to pull in “moderates” to deliver Texas the first statewide Democrat win since 1994.

ABC chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl joined Saturday’s Good Morning America to discuss any possible political fallout from President Trump’s decision to attack Iran. Despite polling showing Republicans broadly supportive of the idea before Saturday, Karl suggested there is “potential for significant blowback” from the MAGA base.

In reacting Wednesday to President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address, ABC’s Good Morning America followed its tiresome pattern of being all Trump hate, all the time by repeating an absurd 11 times the President’s grappling with negative polling and went out to deliver a speech that consisted of “brutally harsh” “partisan attacks” and irresponsibly “paint[ed] a rosy picture” of…

All the major broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — broke in Friday morning with special reports on the Supreme Court’s 6-to-3 ruling declaring most of President Trump’s landmark tariffs unconstitutional. Unsurprisingly, ABC was almost ebullient in touting the ruling as “devastating,” “huge,” and “monumental” in hampering Trump’s presidency.

We often accuse the Elitist Media, with a decades-long body of evidence here at the Media Research Center, of conducting themselves in a manner similar to that of progressive activists. On rare occasions, they also act as policy advisors.

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows, in furtherance of preserving MInnesota’s civil unrest over interior immigration enforcement, booked Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for another round of softballs and patty-cake. With perhaps one exception, they all enabled his inflammatory rhetoric.

While the leftist media scramble to retain whatever illusory credibility they think they have over their eroding predictions of a Trumpian economic disaster, CNN’s tour de force Scott Jennings took to ABC’s This Week to list off some of the president’s W’s.

Even when George Stephanopoulos isn't hosting, ABC's This Week sounds framed against President Trump. His primetime TV speech was trashed, he was called an "angry old man," and it was predicted that he would go down as the "least consequential president of our lifetime."

A pattern emerges: after years of ignoring Joe Biden’s glaring mental decline, the elitist media want to manufacture an early cognitive decline narrative with regard to President Donald Trump. We earlier spotlighted CNN’s attempt: here’s ABC’s.

On Thursday, the broadcast networks led with President Trump’s Wednesday primetime address to the nation and all took great umbrage with his blaming of the Biden regime for the economy he inherited, but ABC’s Good Morning America was far and above the worst for its deep disgust over the “combative,” “defensive,” and “hyperpartisan” speech that ignored the “economic pain...under his…
