Congress

While it lacked the schoolings NBC’s liberal journalists faced at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and longtime GOP hand Hogan Gidley or ABC’s degree of Biden apple polishing, CBS held its own during Monday’s Trump inauguration thanks to the pomposity and obsession with January 6 on the part of many of their lead anchors. NewsBusters slogged through the first nine hours of…

Both before and after their brutal rhetorical beatdowns at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), NBC’s inauguration coverage paddled the struggle boat as, over the course of six-plus hours of post-ceremonies coverage, they voiced their own set of grievances over President Trump’s “searing,” “single most partisan,” “very dark” speech that’s put him at “risk” of “overstepping what…

With their struggle sessions on Monday morning serving as an appetizer, ABC delivered the main course in the afternoon hours following President Trump’s second inauguration with meltdowns about the address as a “harsh” repudiation” of Joe Biden, a “hot mess of division” “filled with hammers,” and heard before an audience of supporters who “did not really reflect” America “when it comes to…

In the three hours leading up to President Trump’s second inauguration on Monday, the liberal journalists at ABC were having a rough time as they said America’s “deeply divided” thanks to Trump, suggested his affinity and support for the forgotten men and women is fake because of his budding friendships with tech billionaires, and that America no longer has real “check and balances” when…

As Donald Trump takes office for the second time,taxpayer-funded PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, on Monday used the upcoming Senate confirmation hearings for Pete Hegseth to once again throw a bunch of sexual-related accusations at prominent Republicans. But first, co-anchor Geoff Bennett poisoned the waters against Hegseth as well.

On Tuesday afternoon following Pete Hegseth’s five-hour-and-15-minute-long confirmation hearing to lead the Pentagon, CNN immediately made clear it was not having a good time, continuing to peddle the alcoholism and tattoo conspiracy theories about the “Kavanaugh-esque” Hegseth, suggested he was in over his head, and Democratic senators asked apt and thorough questions.

After President-elect Donald Trump leaned on dissident Republican U.S House members and strong-armed the reelection of Speaker Mike Johnson, congressional Democrats -- and Republicans -- marveled at Trump’s power and influence. When the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Colorado could not prevent Trump from appearing on that state’s primary, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the…

The PBS NewsHour Friday night pundit panel of Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks took on the shutdown showdown. Anchor Geoff Bennett quoting from a “news report” from The Washington Post that sounds a lot like a liberal editorial, that Musk’s advising reeks of “oligarchy.” These people really have to keep insisting democracy on the wane!

How will the latest shutdown showdown end? The media always use the threat of shutdowns to paint Republicans as heartless budget slashers, and that's especially fun for them at Christmas time. They paint federal employees as too broke to buy a Christmas tree.  Paul Teller of Advancing American Freedom talks about hopes for restricting federal spending in 2025 and beyond.

As more Democrats are losing House seats, following the Republican presidential win, the Democratic Party has been questioning its up-and-coming leaders. In reviewing this discussion, The View’s Sunny Hostin was appalled, claiming persecution against young Democratic lawmakers such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), by Republicans. The ABC co-host claimed that Cortez’s political…

The end-of-year continuing resolution postpones the imminent shutdown of a State Department entity infamous for funding censorship efforts — for now.

In the aftermath of Congresswoman Nancy Mace pushing to ban biological men from using the women's restrooms in the Capitol, CNN host Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday and Wednesday only included critics of the South Carolina Republican who accused her of dishonestly having an ulterior motive.

If any constitutional amendment can be hated, it would be the 16th Amendment. Passed by Congress in 1909 and ratified by the states in 1913, it allowed Congress to “levy income taxes without apportioning them among the states based on population.” At first the collection of revenue came…

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ordered the outgoing Biden-Harris administration to preserve documents related to its censorship collusion with Big Tech, among other ominous federal activities.
