Four years ago, the liberal networks pounded Republican nominee Donald Trump with bad press, yet he won the White House anyway. Now, ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts are giving Trump the same hostile treatment, but they’ve significantly softened their approach to Trump’s Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

While journalists today loudly criticize Republicans as hypocrites for moving forward on replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trip through the Media Research Center’s archives shows the liberal media are also exhibiting more than their fair share of hypocrisy. Four years ago, when Republican leader Mitch McConnell would not permit a Senate vote on a liberal replacement to…

MRC analysts looked at 33 days of ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News programs from August 13 (when Israel and the United Arab Emirates announced they were establishing full diplomatic relations) to September 15 (the joint signing ceremony of the Abraham Accords between Israel-UAE-Bahrain at the White House) and found just brief hiccups of…

One of the closest congressional contests in 2020 is the race for Utah’s 4th district, pitting freshman Democrat Rep. Ben McAdams against former NFL player and businessman Burgess Owens.

In recent days, the liberal media have dedicated a lot of effort into stoking fear the coronavirus vaccines being developed by multiple pharmaceutical companies under the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed, which put the full weight of the U.S. government behind developing and distributing a safe and effective vaccine. Of course, they were taking their cues from the Biden campaign and…

Praising him as the “key witness in the impeachment of President Trump last year” during Monday’s NBC Nightly News, anchor Lester Holt flaunted his exclusive interview with admitted “Never Trumper” and now-retired Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman. And the admitted point of the interview, according to Vindman, was to “persuade [people] to choose an alternative to what we have, an…

It was easy to tell the broadcast networks were in full campaign mode on Wednesday seeing as they spent large chunks of their evening newscasts hawking yet another anti-Trump book, Rage by Bob Woodward.

While cable news let the Democratic convention run without any significant interruption, CNN and MSNBC refused to give the same consideration to Republicans, stepping over the party-produced content to deplore and criticize what viewers were trying to watch. The interruptions on MSNBC, in fact, were 600 TIMES greater during the Republican convention (201 minutes) than during the Democratic…

Republican National Convention has become a proving ground for how inconsistent the CNN was in terms of treating both political parties fairly. As NewsBusters’ associate editor Scott Whitlock documented last week, the anti-Trump news outlet only interrupted night two of the Democratic National Convention once. But for night two of the RNC, CNN disrupted the proceedings four times to whine…

Night one of the Democratic National Convention saw only two interruptions from CNN, both of which were commercial breaks. But come Monday, night one of the Republican National Convention, CNN suddenly had a lot more to say; disrupting that convention a total of six times. Two of them were for commercial breaks and the rest featured their Zuckerville collective whining about the speakers; not…
