Can Brazil and Venezuela Tolerate Opposition?
Latin American democracy is being put to the test in Brazil and Venezuela. At stake is whether the left-wing government in either country can countenance the idea of legitimate opposition.

New York Times Author Laments Morality's Role In Abortion Debate
It’s not just candidates on the ballot next Tuesday. Voters will also be presented with various ballot measures and on Tuesday, New York Times national correspondent and author Lisa Lerer teamed up with PBS’s Amanpour and Company co-host Hari Sreenivasan to advocate for the pro-abortion side in Idaho by lamenting that the abortion debate gets wrapped up “in this sort of morass of morality.”
Morning Joe Pushes Conspiracy That Musk Has and Will Hack Elections
On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, the premier liberal morning show on MS NOW, host Joe Scarborough pushed more liberal election fears with less than a week left until the election and heavily pushed the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk hacked voting machines in the 2024 election. He asked Democratic Congressman Jim Himes what Democrats were doing to prepare for “these five trillionaires” “trying to…
Kimmel Conspiracy Theorizes About Votes Not Being Counted

Psaki Warns of Authoritarianism, Compares Trump WH to Serbian Gov't

Pretending the Justice Department Was Never Partisan Under Democrats
The most obnoxious lie that erupts routinely in the “independent media” is that Trump’s Department of Justice is weaponized in a way that no Democrat has ever contemplated. It’s like they all observed everything that the Biden Justice Department did to put Trump and his allies in jail and considered it to be the most nonpartisan thing imaginable.
PBS Guest Pushing Court-Packing: I'm No Radical, I Taught in a Blazer!
In Saturday’s edition of the Austin-based PBS talk show Overheard With Evan Smith, Smith and guest Melissa Murray fretted about the state of the Constitution in the face of supposed threats posed by the Trump Administration, revealing their contempt for the Supreme Court in the process.

NBC the Only Network Newscast to Show U.S.-Cuba Blowup at the UN
As we’ve often said here, the Elitist Media Evening News is a consistent anti-news outfit. Time is often stuffed with fluff so as to avoid coverage of important stories. A rare exception, though, on NBC Nightly News, which was the only network newscast to report on the heated exchange between the United States and Cuba at the United Nations General Assembly.
ABC Seems to Imply MAGA Could Commit Violence Against Election Workers
In a case of bizarre story placement during the second hour (and in a newscast seemingly barren of staff and two extra rounds of news briefs), ABC’s Good Morning America diverged from its usual behavior of playing corporate whore for Disney overlords to add a fourth midterms segment that strongly implied Georgia election workers and elsewhere could face threats to their lives on Tuesday from…
CBS Heralds John Legend Backing Ohio Dems, Strategizes for Talarico
So much for being the MAGA broadcast network. Tuesday’s CBS Mornings opened with six minutes of midterms coverage fluffing the pillows of Democrats, trumpeting far-left singer John Legend campaigning with Ohio Democrats Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown. Elsewhere, they joined NBC (and ABC) in both promoting Democrats as surging in Mississippi and giving Texas Democrats a road map for Senate…
NBC Touts Mississippi Democrat, Blames Trump for School Bus Shortages
Across the broadcast networks on Tuesday morning, all three chose to apply their anti-Trump drivel and Republican voter suppression efforts through all-too-convenient anecdotes. NBC’s Today did so by blaming Trump’s Iran war for a Yakima, Washington-area school district having to cut bus routes (even though the school year didn’t start all that long ago), strategizing for Texas Democrat James…
CNN, MS NOW Yawn: Maine Dem Accuses Collins of Kissing Trump's 'Ass'
It's one week until Election Day, and Morning Joe is doing its best to usher in as many Democrat victories as it can. In Maine, Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson, not long after telling 73-year-old Susan Collins to “shut up,” accused her of kissing Trump’s “ass.” No morning comment from MS NOW or CNN.
Peter Alexander Minimizes El-Sayed Controversies as GOP Attacks
In a special live show from Michigan on Tuesday, just one week before the election, former NBC White House correspondent turned MS NOW daytime host Peter Alexander played defense for far-left Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his controversies.
