HBO’s Bill Maher tried to defend Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's remarks about God being non-binary during Friday’s Real Time Overtime segment. Maher claimed that Talarico was simply referring to God in “a sort of, like, ethereal way,” but that is not what Talarico was doing.

On Wednesday, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel continued his efforts to help Democrats win next Tuesday in two ways. First, Kimmel used his monologue to defend Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed and Texas’s James Talarico from accusations of radicalness. Second, Kimmel welcomed California Gov. Newsom to spread conspiracy theories about the election and to resurrect the myth that Trump wants Iran to bomb the state.…

The “Big Three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC offered an entire plate of bias Wednesday on their lead morning newscasts, with each of them pulling hard for Texas to go blue with James Talarico, CBS Mornings misleading viewers about Kansas and Nebraska Senate seats, and both ABC and NBC ignoring an anti-Semitic ad in Michigan blaming Jews for an increase in grocery bills.

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…

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…

After Monday’s regular airing of The Daily Show, Comedy Central followed up with a midnight special that featured Jordan Klepper traveling across the country to interview various MAGA people for the purposes of making them look foolish. However, when Klepper tried to defend Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s remarks about God being non-binary, it was him who looked rather…

One topic that the elitist media are allergic to is “detransitioners,” people who return to identifying with their actual gender. Hanna Panreck at Fox News Digital reported that Texas detransitioner Soren Aldaco was not allowed to question Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico at the CNN/Jubilee town hall on October 14, which was hosted by Erin Burnett.

This week’s Washington Week with The Atlantic hailed from Austin, Texas, the liberal heart of the state, before a live studio audience with presumably Democratic sympathies (much like the show’s television audience). A major theme of the discussion: The positive prospects of the state’s Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, Texas State Rep. James Talarico, neck and neck in polls with the…

After Democrat Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s gushy town hall on CNN, Thursday’s CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish tried to minimize the focus on Talarico’s previous comments, especially when he said “God is non-binary.” Cornish first defended Talarico’s comments by complaining about advertisements using his past comments, as she said many “random sentences” from sermons she has…

CNN advertised its Jubilee-branded town hall with Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico as an opportunity to engage and ask tough questions. To be sure, there were compelling questions from the audience. But Talarico was given such a wide berth with no resistance or fact-checking that one wonders what the going rate for CNN prime time is given that he just ran what amounted to an…

On Wednesday, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC spent time on their lead morning shows kicking dirt on President Trump going to Alaska as little more than a sign of impending GOP doom come November 3, continuing to show their political ignorance of how non-presidential elections work. NBC’s Today stood apart as, along with a doom-and-gloom report, it also took a swipe at White House Press…

For the first time on their flagship morning or evening newscasts, two of the major broadcast networks — CBS and NBC — mentioned Tuesday that Texas Democrat senatorial candidate James Talarico had gone AWOL for over a week, suggesting there was no reason for anyone to engage in “rumors” or express skepticism about his neat-and-tidy explanation for an abnormally long flu bout.

Monday’s weekly political roundtable on the PBS News Hour sounded like the typical Republicans Are Losing hootenanny. The online headline was “Tamara Keith and Amy Walter on the GOP's vulnerability in the midterms.” But the eye-opening part was anchor Geoff Bennett trying to paper over Texas Democrat James Talarico’s absence from the campaign trail.

Our elitist media buzz when First Lady Melania Trump goes “missing," but they haven’t noticed Texas Democrat James Talarico vanishing for 12 days in the closing weeks. As of this writing, Talarico has no campaign events scheduled before Election Day (save a CNN town hall). But his Republican opponent Ken Paxton is getting hammered by the networks
