Corporate Liberalism

It’s that time again, wherein ABC’s resident Clinton fixer-slash-”journalist” tries to dunk on someone within the Trump administration only to get absolutely cooked in the process. This week on This Week it’s Vice President JD Vance, laying waste to Stephanopoulos over his insistence on pushing a narrative regarding Border Czar Tom Homan at the expense of other news.

You know that a public statement from a Democrat elected official is bad when the media steps in and tries to firefight potential public backlash. Such is the case with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who gets five-alarm firefighting from NBC after saying that “every day gets worse for us.”

In an embarrassing interview, CBS’s Margaret Brennan sat passively as Illinois Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth repeated what is now known as the Zip-Tie Hoax: the debunked claim that children were zip-tied during ICE raids in Chicago. Additionally, Duckworth was allowed to incite further violence against ICE with her incendiary claim that they engage in “Gestapo tactics.”

The legacy Sunday shows appear to have taken a collective vow of omertà regarding coverage of what would have been treated as an immediate disqualifier had a Republican done something similar. The hosts of these shows shut out any discussion of Democrat Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones as he fantasized about murdering a political opponent and his family in a…

Like watching a bad telenovela with its predictable, bad acting- so is watching the legacy media cover Bad Bunny’s much-hyped Super Bowl halftime show. In today’s episode of that bad soap opera, NBC Nightly News covers a throwaway line as if it were a major rift directly involving the President of the United States.

Univision’s claims of moderation and abandonment of advocacy agenda journalism are to be taken with a giant brick of salt. At its heart, the network remains an immigration advocacy organization, with affiliates and a news division. Case in point: the network’s coverage of the Chicago man who led DHS agents on a wild goose chase in downtown Chicago. 

Another day, another pompous and insanely over-the-top editorial to close out CBS Evening News Plus. This time, John Dickerson blesses us with his grandes pensées on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s convocation of his top generals, admirals, and senior enlisted advisers for what has been colloquially termed a “Come to Pete” meeting.

We’re months away from Super Bowl LX and its Bad Bunny halftime performance but the legacy media are already in top sycophantic form, doing everything in their power to shove this awful pick down the throats of their viewing public. CBS Mornings Plus delivered on all counts. 

It’s almost incomprehensible to see now, as ICE is empowered to do their jobs and remove illegal aliens from the United States, but there was once a time where the border was wide open and thousands flowed freely into the country. And we remember that there were media institutions openly cheering this invasion.

The indictment of Resistance FBI Director James Comey is clearly the top news story of this weekend’s cycle. As Jake Tapper’s interview of Speaker Mike Johnson on CNN’s State of the Union demonstrates, the legacy media do not quite yet have a handle on this story.

The legacy media have cast themselves as staunch defenders of the First Amendment as they circle the wagons for Regime comic Jimmy Kimmel. However, they are nowhere to be seen as Google admits to censorship of conservatives under pressure from the Biden White House.

Jimmy Kimmel’s much heralded return to the airwaves finally happened. As expected, there has been significant gushing over Kimmel’s monologue. Among those gleefully squeeing, CNN Chief Media Analyst Brian Stelter.

The legacy media are content to further self-debase by reducing themselves to heralds of the triumphant return of Free Speech Martyr Jimmy Kimmel to late-night television. In so doing, they are turning their focus on the holdout affiliate groups still refusing to air Kimmel unless he can show proof of human decency.

The nation struggles to come to grips with this latest rash of political violence. One of these incidents involved the shooting of the lobby of ABC’s Sacramento affiliate. Shockingly, NBC was the only newscast to offer these new details.
