Bias by the Minute

According to the New York Post, Hunter Biden’s business partner Eric Schwerin visited the White House a whopping 19 times when Joe Biden was serving as President Barack Obama’s Vice President. As of Monday morning (April 25) none of the Big Three evening, morning or Sunday roundtable shows have mentioned this latest development. 

Just weeks before Election Day, the New York Post printed an explosive story on the morning of October 14, 2020, that alleged Hunter Biden had corrupt business dealings with Ukraine and Joe Biden knew about them. Since then the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) have systematically buried the devastating laptop story.

Kamala Harris has gaffed again and the three networks are doing their best to hide the latest cringeworthy moment, this one on an international stage. While appearing at a press conference with Poland’s president, the Vice President on Thursday broke into a bizarre laughing fit, drawing widespread mockery and outrage. 

Joe Biden, the Democratic Party and the left’s radical support for abortion grows more extreme every day. That fact was made very clear this week, though you wouldn’t have known it if you got all your news from the networks. 

The mission statement of ABC News, and other media outlets, appears to be this: It’s our job to protect you from reality. The Biden administration is crumbling under the weight of record high gas prices and inflation and now what’s seen as an ineffectual response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Here’s the last five polls of Biden’s approval rating: 38, 39, 40, 38, 37.

Joe Biden on February 25 nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill the vacancy of Justice Stephen Breyer. When it comes to ideological labels for Supreme Court nominees, the networks have one rule: Republican nominees are “staunch,” worrisome conservatives. Democratic picks are rarely labeled as extreme liberals.

The spiraling crisis on America’s southern border is spreading, rippling to all parts of the country with impacts on crime and national security. But you wouldn’t know that if you watched the networks in January. The total on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts dropped to a shocking ZERO for the month. 

Four days after the bombshell revelation from court filings that connected the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign to spying on Donald Trump’s, ABC, as well as CBS and NBC are still silent. They have buried the explosive allegations entirely. However, in the category of stupid, vapid stories that the networks are covering instead, ABC’s Good Morning America wins by a mile. 

After NBC News’s morning and evening shows spent only 12 minutes, 22 seconds (in a year) on China’s horrific genocide of the Uyghurs, NBC actually managed to equal that coverage of the Uyghurs in just one night and morning of their Beijing Olympics coverage. However, there were other moments in the coverage that sounded like they were cribbed from a Chi-Com’s propaganda booklet.

MRC analysts looked at China policy stories on the broadcast evening and morning news programs for an entire year (January 31, 2021-January 31, 2022) and discovered the nets devoted a paltry 13 minutes, 38seconds to the ongoing genocide.  

 PolitiFact begs for donations by proclaiming "Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy." But this "independent fact-checker" routinely betrays a tilt by coming out more aggressively to “correct” attacks on Democrats. In Biden's first year, MRC analysts found Biden was fact-checked 40 times, while Biden critics were checked on 230 occasions.…

All three networks on Monday night and Tuesday morning offered sympathy for Joe Biden calling Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch.” CBS explained, as though this were a new discovery now that Democrats are in charge, “it’s not easy being President.” ABC and NBC both stressed that Biden was simply “frustrated” by other reporters asking off-topic questions. 

The following is a look at how the broadcast evening news shows (ABC’s World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News) have covered or, more accurately, BURIED Harris’s most embarrassing moments in the past year.

As of January 20th, 2022, Joe Biden will have completed his first year as president. He will do so deeply unpopular, cratering to the mid 30s in two recent polls. Over the last year, the three network evening newscasts have done their best to hide policy disasters, such as Afghanistan and the border. They have ignored controversies involving Hunter Biden, as well as extremist nominees from the…
