Judiciary

On Thursday afternoon, Noticias Telemundo mediodía delivered a disheartening blow by discussing the constitutionality of affirmative action following two Supreme Court decisions striking race as a factor in admissions for private and public universities. Throughout the lead story, correspondent Cristina Londoño repeatedly exhibited a lack of understanding on the subject.

On Thursday, the “big three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC twice broke into regular programming to discuss the bombshell Supreme Court rulings that all but took a huge bite out of private and public universities being able to use race as a factor in admissions. Naturally, the liberal networks were forlorn with experts, journalists, pundits blasting, fretting, and seemingly near tears…

On June 15, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) accused CNN’s Kailtan Collins of referring to Judge Aileen Cannon as “Trump-appointed” in order to instill doubt in the Trump documents case and questioned whether she would do the same if the judge was appointed by Barack Obama. Collins defended herself by saying “We talk about who judges were appointed by all the time.” Now, less than one week later we…

Between Wednesday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC and NBC’s Today from Thursday, NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff played footsie with fellow California leftist and Governor Gavin Newsom (D), serving as a welcome mat for Newsom to promote a massive gun grab and hint at arresting 2024 Republican presidential candidate and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) if he sets foot in the Golden State…

Gone are the days when questioning whether a judge in a Trump indictment case can be truly impartial is said to be unacceptable because the cast of MSNBC's Friday special coverage on the matter sounded the alarm whether Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon can truly be fair and neutral given some of her previous rulings.

Monday on ABC’s Good Morning America, co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos trotted out far-left author Michael Waldman to tout his new book The Supermajority that doubled as a screed with the thesis that, in Stephanopoulos’s summation, conservative justices are “a threat to democracy” for rulings he believes are counter to a center-left country.

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee pounced on overhyped media reports, regarding alleged financial ethics scandals committed by conservative Supreme Court justices, as a pretext to hold hearings. National Public Radio legal reporter Nina Totenberg obliged, with full coverage on Tuesday’s Morning Edition program. A text edition of Totenberg’s report showed her taking…

PBS released their latest Frontline documentary on Tuesday with the subtitle of Clarence and Ginni Thomas: Politics, Power and the Supreme Court that purported to uncover why the Thomases view the world the way they do. Ultimately, however, Clarence Thomas was portrayed as a far-right sexual abuser who benefited from affirmative action who rules the way he does on cases in…

Back there in the stone age of last month, here was the headline on a Washington Post column from associate editor and columnist Ruth Marcus: 

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart spent Friday’s PBS NewHour laughing at GOP allegations that Democrats are going after Justice Clarence Thomas simply because they do not like the Supreme Court’s recent rulings, implausible arguing this is just about transparency. Meanwhile, New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to find a centrist middle ground…

The cable networks of CNN and MSNBC spent a good portion of Thursday obsessing over a ProPublica report that Justice Clarence Thomas did not disclose friend Harlon Crow paying for his-great nephew's tuition while simultaneously downplaying—and in MSNBC's case, completely ignorning— reports that Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not recuse herself from a case involving the publishing company Random…

It was impossible to tell the difference between NBC’s allegedly straight newsman Chuck Todd and MSNBC’s Joy Reid as they both wondered what the GOP’s reaction would be if Justice Clarence Thomas was Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Harlan Crow were George Soros. Ignoring questions around Sotomayor was a theme for MSNBC on Thursday.

MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade joined Ana Cabrera Reports on Thursday to discuss the latest ginned up controversy surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas where she demanded that he either resign or be impeached despite admitting there “does not appear that there is any evidence that” Thomas’s friend Harlan Crow has influenced any of his decisions.

Former CNN legal analyst and infamous Zoom masturbator Jeffrey Toobin returned to the network on Thursday to promote his new book on Timothy McVeigh, but also to pile on Justice Clarence Thomas for being unethical and the rest of the Supreme Court for allegedly putting themselves “above the law.”
