ABC Fawns Not 'A Big Progressive' Harris, Oprah In DNC Recap
The cast of Saturday’s edition of ABC’s Good Morning America had nothing but glowing reviews for the recently concluded Democratic National Convention.

Silly PBS: Harris Makes Dems ‘Feel Seen,’ ‘Trump Derangement’ Not Real
PBS opened its fourth and final night of coverage from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago with reporting from the PBS News Hour, with congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins, reporting from D.C. a segment on the Republican’s “counterprogramming” of the convention.

CBS Swoons Kamala’s DNC Speech Was ‘Feat of Political Athleticism’
Despite co-host, Obama family friend, and Kamala Harris donor Gayle King getting an early start on the weekend, Friday’s CBS Mornings still had plenty of partisan lunacy reacting to the final night of the Democratic National Convention and describing Kamala Harris’s speech that “echo[ed] Obama” and “[brought] down the house” with “[t]he sound of history” and “a feat of political…
Morning Joe: ‘Patriotism Fully Reclaimed’ As DNC ‘Flags Got Bigger’
The party that constantly wants to fundamentally change America into a facsimile of a socialist European state apparently really loves America, according to the stacked panel of liberals on Friday’s Morning Joe. The MSNBC gaggle seriously suggested that the size of the flags at the Democratic National Convention showed a correlation to their love of America; further insisting that, by…
NBC Hails ‘Moderate’ Kamala’s ‘Impassioned’ DNC Speech
NBC’s Today couldn’t measure up to the hackery on ABC and CBS Friday morning in recapping the final day of Democratic National Convention, but they still delivered plenty of pathetic lines cheering “moderate” Vice President Kamala Harris’s “impassioned speech framing the election in historic terms...and delivering a searing rebuke of” Donald Trump but hoping to govern from “the center…
Stewart Hearts Harris: 'Doesn't Faintly Resemble The Caricature'
Jon Stewart wrapped up The Daily Show’s week of coverage of the Democratic National Convention with a live episode on Comedy Central on Thursday where he promoted the idea that Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech proves “she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that's been painted.” Later in the program, actor Jason Bateman would narrate a promo video for Harris, where he argued she…
Hyping Harris: Late Night Comedy's DNC Coverage Goes Soft
For the late night comedy shows, the week of the Democratic National Convention provides the hosts with an opportunity to prove that they can make fun of Democrats in the same way they attack Republicans. However, a new MRC study shows they failed to do so this past week. In terms of quantity, the comedians hold 113 fewer jokes than they did during the RNC and 60 fewer jokes about Kamala…
ABC: ‘Moderate’ Kamala Was Reagan With ‘Morning in America’ DNC Speech
As they have all week, ABC’s Good Morning America had the best (or worst?) body of work gleefully devouring propaganda from the Democratic National Convention like drunk college kids hankering for late-night pizza.

Column: 'Joy' Time Is Over, Time for News on Substance
Shouldn’t this election be about governing, not just “tone”? Shouldn’t our media force some specifics? Watching network morning shows each day during the convention would make you feel buried in “joy” chatter and “dance party” gush and celebrity razzle-dazzle. The Harris campaign’s aversion to policy specifics is a nifty match for today’s television news, which avoids policy substance whenever…
