Debates

The second GOP presidential primary debate Wednesday night was a case study in why the Republican Party shouldn’t award debate moderation privileges to hostile and dishonest members of the liberal media. While Fox Business Network occupied two of the moderator positions (Stuart Varney and Dana Perino), the third was given to Univision anchor Ilia Calderón. Her questions were by far the most…

Google’s artificial intelligence tool seems to have a mind of its own about who the popular 2024 presidential candidates are.

Is Google shilling for Biden? It appears so, as its search engine once again buried Republican “presidential campaign websites.” 

Trying to divert attention from Biden's mental woes, Joe Scarborough suggests that Donald Trump has "dementia."

The New York Times’ resident fact-checker Linda Qiu took on rising Republican star Vivek Ramaswamy after his breakout performance in last week’s GOP presidential debate, and her interesting choice of terminology unwittingly demonstrated the paper’s liberal mindset. In response to Ramaswamy’s claim (one not even made at the debate, but to the Atlantic magazine) that there were…

The guests on Katie Phang's MSNBC show tear into Vivek Ramaswamy, calling him a "punk" and a "charlatan." But they praise Nikki Haley for her realism, saying she is on "Earth One," particularly on the issue of abortion, where at the debate she said the votes aren't there in the Senate to pass a national abortion ban.

The Washington Post’s third-rate “fact-checker” Glenn Kessler butchered the facts when he claimed that the sky-high inflation brought on by Bidenomics barely made a dent in Americans’ spending power. Economists interviewed by MRC Business were having none of it.

As the first Republican presidential debate looms, New York Times campaign reporter Nicholas Nehemas spread anti-DeSantis doomsaying in “For DeSantis, Release of Debate Strategy Amplifies a Daunting Challenge": "Mr. DeSantis’s most prominent debates -- in his contests for governor against Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor of Florida turned Democratic member of Congress, and…

Fox News Channel has long been the cable news king that blows MSNBC and CNN out of the water in terms of ratings most hours of the day. And when a TV news outlet hosts a major political event like the Republican primary debate on Wednesday night, they’re set to rake in millions of more views than they normally do. With that as the backdrop, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner ended the Tuesday night edition…

Chronically the third-place cable news outlet, CNN was the little goblin biting at the ankles of Fox News, the cable news giant. So, of course, it brought CNN great joy to see that former President Trump had chosen to avoid taking part in the first Republican presidential debate, which was hosted by their rival. Senior media correspondent Oliver Darcy beamed on Monday as he boasted about Trump…

Showing disrespect for Republican primary voters, former President Trump announced Sunday night that he would not be attending the first Republican primary debate later in the week with reports suggesting he was planning to counterprogram the event with an interview with Tucker Carlson. ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings welcomed the internal party drama and hyped…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough pumps up New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu as a potential Republican presidential primary contender, and takes shots at Ron DeSantis, saying, that DeSantis' campaign "is going to end very badly . . . It's going to start as high as a Chinese balloon over Montana, and by the time it gets to South Carolina, they're going to be looking for wreckage." 

In his first day co-hosting the new show, CNN This Morning, Don Lemon calls Kari Lake's comments on the attack on Paul Pelosi "vile, vile." Lake had observed that in DC, Nancy Pelosi has protection, but, "apparently her house doesn't have a lot of protection."  Commenting on John Fetterman's debate performance, Lemon said that his mother, who he called his "one-woman focus group," said she…

Tiffany Cross is ticked. The MSNBC host is incensed that Georgia Democrats in general, and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in particular, have gone too easy on Herschel Walker, specifically with regard to allegations that he urged two former girlfriends to have abortions.
