NBC Pearl Clutches Over Trump’s Christmas Foreign Policy Posts

December 26th, 2024 11:59 AM

Unfortunately for correspondent Aaron Gilchrist (and the crew), while ABC and CBS seemingly gave their political correspondents the day off, NBC’s Today made him trek out to the White House on a cold, post-Christmas Thursday morning to do a live shot to help them pearl clutch over President-elect Trump’s social media posts.

Doocy Vindicated: Nets Skip WSJ Bombshell on Biden’s Cognitive Decline

December 20th, 2024 3:12 PM

Now that the coast is (largely) clear, the liberal media and their Biden administration sources have increasingly come out of the woodwork to sound off on the President’s reportedly paper-thin mental fitness to have fully served the last four years. With 50 sources, Thursday’s Wall Street Journal item was devastating, but of no concern to ABC, CBS, and NBC on their flagship newscasts…

December 12th, 2024 12:29 PM

On Thursday, NBC's Today engaged in their annual ritual of announcing Time magazine's "Person of the Year," which was (zero surprise) Donald Trump. Time tends to defer to whoever won the presidential campaign as the year's most influential newsmaker, but they don't have to be happy about it.

Networks Spend Nearly 4x More on Garbage-Gate Than Laken Riley Trial

November 20th, 2024 4:32 PM

ABC, CBS, and NBC have shown a disturbing aversion to covering the murder trial of Georgia student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant.
