Biden documents

During Thursday’s newscast, CNN This Morning host Kaitlan Collins helped her viewers wake up with a big steaming cup of gaslight. That was the goal when Collins brought on intelligence and national security reporter, Katie Bo Lillis to downplay President Biden’s mishandling of classified information as something that happens “literally every day” and doesn’t rise to the need for…

As we’ve documented over the last week (see here, here, here, and here), Wednesday’s White House press briefing marked yet another tough day at the office for the empty and inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as she kept up her stonewalling on Biden’s documents scandal while reporters from the likes of the ABC, the Associated Press, CBS, the Fox News Channel, Gray Television, NBC, and…

It was only bound to happen. After days of coverage of the Biden classified documents scandal in which President Joe Biden presumably jeopardized U.S. national security by leaving them in his unsecured garage for years, ABC's World News Tonight joined both CBS Mornings & CBS Evening News in moving on Wednesday by providing zero coverage of the latest developments…

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings was the first broadcast network flagship morning or evening show to bid farewell to President Biden’s classified documents scandal with zero formal coverage (aside from a tag in the show’s Eye Opener from two late-night comedy shows). Instead, their political segment huffed about House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) restoring two House Republicans to committees…

Viewers of Tuesday’s Late Night with Seth Meyers could be forgiven for getting dizzy as Politico White House bureau chief and MSNBC Way Too Early host Jonathan Lemire labeled President Biden’s classified document scandal “political” and “partisan,” but that there were real national security concerns, but also that Republicans have been showing “hypocrisy.”

On Monday’s PBS NewsHour, the show’s White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez brought Democrat-friendly summations to the Trump and Biden classified-documents controversies, suggesting Trump (and not Biden) may have violated the Espionage Act.

Tuesday’s White House press briefing marked another installment of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for the inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as, while she ignored journalists from the Daily Caller, Fox News, and Newsmax about President Biden’s classified documents scandal, she ran into a proverbial buzzsaw from outlets such as ABC, the AP, CBS, CBS News Radio, NBC, and NPR…

ABC’s Good Morning America fought a surprisingly lonely battle Tuesday in carrying water for President Biden and the White House amid their classified documents scandal, repeatedly touting the administration as “firing back” at Republicans wanting to learn more and making requests of the regime because...Donald Trump.

As President Biden’s keep piling up, MSNBC All In guest host Ali Velshi welcomed former Biden deputy assistant and Symone host Symone Sanders-Townsend to wonder what the big deal is. For Velshi, Biden’s document scandal is the “next Benghazi” while for Sanders-Townsend, Hunter Biden is “just his son.”

The Biden documents scandal entered its second week Monday and, on the flagship broadcast network morning news shows, ABC’s Good Morning America remained in a defensive mode for Team Biden by repeatedly insisting the White House will be cooperative and transparent with the special counsel, fretting “Republicans...are now pouncing,” and boasting Republicans will never be able to find…

Public television’s idea of a balanced political debate: Friday's PBS NewsHour punditry found little daylight between “conservative” New York Times columnist David Brooks and liberal Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart, nodding in agreement that the new Biden classified document controversy had no comparison to Trump’s.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough suggests there is bigotry behind Republican criticism of White House spox Karine Jean-Pierre, a gay, black woman. Scarborough says: "there have been a lot of Republicans who have been critical of Karine Jean-Pierre, of course they have been from the beginning. I'll let people draw their own conclusions as to why, it seems pretty obvious to me."

On ABC’s This Week, co-moderator Jonathan Karl opened the program on Sunday by scolding Biden for his claims of transparency when it comes to his team’s disclosure of his mishandling of classified government documents. Despite learning on November 2, 2022 that he left classified documents in three different locations, Biden and his handlers waited until the week of January 9, 2023 to…

On her MSNBC show, Katie Phang wonders whether Biden's classified documnets situation represents a problem for his 2024 plans. MSNBC analyst Susan Del Percio says that although Biden's docs situation is very different from that of Donald Trump, as a political matter it could be a big problem for Biden. She puts it at a 7/8 on a 10 scale.
