2026 Congressional

Despite having been painted a picture by the liberal media that the new CBS News would become something akin to MAGA TV, it has been anything but. Wednesday’s CBS Mornings reacted with negative narratives about President Trump’s “contentious” 2026 State of the Union speech, “clash[ing] with Democrats” and painting a supposedly dour economy as strong.

We are a little over 8 months away from the 2026 midterm elections, but 2018 positioning is already in the air. CNN made sure to get that ball rolling with an early potential candidate interview: California Governor Gavin Newsom. The interview, conducted by State of the Union co-host Dana Bash, centered around the release of Newsom's memoir “Young Man in a Hurry.” The interview was as…

Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was pulled from TV over equal-time rules, but aired on YouTube, where it drew millions of views and boosted Talarico’s campaign. Politico celebrated the episode, which critics say was a publicity stunt exploiting grievance culture for political and fundraising gains.

On Jake Tapper's CNN show on Tuesday, they discussed Stephen Colbert's stunt of putting an interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico on YouTube because his lawyers banned him from putting Talarico on air. CNN and Jonah Goldberg touted this as a "gift" for the two men, a "perfect storm" where "everybody" opposed to Trump comes out a winner. 

Those trying to turn CBS’s Stephen Colbert into a free speech martyr for the James Talarico-equal time controversy suffered a setback on Wednesday as Colbert welcomed Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff to The Late Show. Unfortunately, those who would like the late night hosts at least pretend to put in an effort to have some sort of balance on their shows also suffered a setback as the duo…

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert angrily denounced FCC chairman Brendan Carr after CBS told him that he could not interview Texas State Rep. and Senate candidate James Talarico for his Monday show. Colbert accused Carr and President Trump of trying to silence him but ultimately ended up interviewing Talarico anyway and put the video up on YouTube. Beyond the FCC, the main purpose of…

Just how badly did Republicans do in two Texas special elections last weekend? Not as badly as apocalyptic headlines in liberal-leaning outlets would suggest — but badly enough that Republicans nationwide have to learn some searing lessons. Although the GOP lost both races, one was for a U.S. House seat that’s been in Democrats’ hands for decades: Christian Menefee’s victory narrows the GOP’s…

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.

Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post counterpart Kathleen Parker pinch-hit for Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks, respectively, on Friday’s PBS NewsHour, where they teamed up with host Geoff Bennett to invoke Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and Jim Crow all over a conspiracy theory about ICE…

One thing’s for sure: the lefty media can’t handle that President Donald Trump has the ability to shift the news cycle away from their non-stop propagandizing that his Immigration and Customs Enforcement carrying out its duties is supposedly his own personal gestapo.

No, the midterms will not turn on the issue of “affordability.” If affordability truly were decisive, Republicans would easily retain the House and the Senate. Consider the economic backdrop. Gas prices are at a five-year low, with gas stations in several states selling a gallon of regular for under $2. Several times since Trump’s reelection, the stock market indexes have recorded all-time…

Many Democrats are now shifting from ObamaCare to support Medicare for All, creating tensions as some worry this move threatens the unified front against expiring ObamaCare subsidies. Progressive candidates are campaigning on Medicare for All in various states, seeing it as a solution to the Affordable Care Act's perceived failures. However, some moderates argue it's politically risky, fearing…

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…

The Atlantic staff writer and podcaster David Frum brought out his tinfoil hat on Friday when he joined MS NOW’s Deadline: White House when he suggested that President Trump could arrest people to prevent them from voting in next year’s midterms. Of course, guest host Ali Velshi decided to echo those conspiracy theories instead of pushing back on them, while Prof. Basil…
