On Wednesday, White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby inadvertently included Fox News Digital in a dismissive email ripping four military veterans on the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 as unworthy of responding to for their criticism of the Biden-Harris withdrawal from Afghanistan, adding they were merely a “‘handful’ of vets...and all of one stripe”.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert turned The Late Show into The Democratic Strategy Show on Thursday as he welcomed Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly to the program to promote his new children’s book and Kamala Harris 2024.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel returned from his summer vacation on Tuesday by welcoming former GOP congressman-turned CNN talking head/Democratic National Convention speaker Adam Kinzinger to his show to discuss that experience as well as to omit the most vital detail of Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery: that he was there at the invitation of Gold Star families.

Popular wisdom has it is that there are two candidates on the election ballot this fall: former President Donald Trump for the GOP, and for the Democrats, Vice President Kamala Harris. But the Media Party is also under scrutiny.

Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and New York Times counterpart David Brooks agreed on Friday’s PBS News Hour that Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery was “really one of the lowest political moments” they could recall.

As the election looms and the media burrows deeper into the bag for the Democratic presidential ticket, the online headlines at PBS News Hour are getting sharper and more partisan, like this one to accompany a Wednesday evening segment by the show’s most partisan reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez: “Harris kicks off Georgia tour as Trump posts grievances on social media.” The contrast was…

Between Thursday night and Friday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC added another few news cycles to the manufactured “controversy” and “firestorm” surrounding former President Trump’s Monday visit to Arlington National Cemetery with families of the 13 Americans killed in August 2021 in Afghanistan, declaring it “isn’t over yet”. In addition, they suddenly (and disingenuously) claiming to be fiscal…

On Wednesday morning, CNN News Central (and MSNBC’s Morning Joe and shows on both networks since) went to the mat for the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration by excusing their lack of public appearances on Monday’s third-anniversary of the deadly Islamic terror attack on Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan and instead attacking former President Trump for going to Arlington…

Monday marked three years since the deadly Islamic terror attack in Kabul, Afghanistan at Hamid Karzai International Airport that murdered 13 American soldiers, 170 Afghans, and left over 150 people wounded. Instead of even briefly acknowledging this painful day for American families in what became the symbol of the Biden-Harris’s administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, ABC, CBS, and NBC…

While the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC have continued to treat Vice President Kamala Harris to North Korean-like fawning coverage by excusing her lack of policy specifics (and zero criticisms of the ones she’s offered) and sneering attacks on former President Trump, they’ve chosen to leave behind substantive scandals about Harris and her running mate, far-left Governor Tim Walz (D-MN).…

CNN Newsroom host Jim Acosta played T-ball with Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss on Tuesday. Instead of grilling Auchincloss about Tim Walz’s problematic portrayal of aspects of his military service, Acosta wondered if it was “healthy” for JD Vance to even talk about it. Additionally, Acosta, who usually claims to be a stickler for the truth, did not correct Auchincloss when he…

ABC White House correspondent MaryAlice Parks joined Saturday’s installment of Good Morning America to gush over the supposed contrast between “joyful” and “happy” Vice President Kamala Harris and the “mean and nasty” Donald Trump. If that wasn’t bad enough, Parks also predicted that most people will not care about Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, embellishing his…

Washington Free Beacon editor-in-chief Eliana Johnson was forced to correct PBS News Hour host Amna Nawaz on Friday after the latter claimed “there’s no evidence” Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz has embellished his military resume. Johnson correctly pointed out that, on the contrary, “there’s no question” he has “padded and inflated his resume.”

CNN has seriously been striking out with veterans recently. In addition to allegedly defaming a Navy veteran, host Brianna Keilar tried to disparage Senator J.D. Vance’s military service as a Marine combat correspondent on Thursday’s Inside Politics, ridiculously suggesting he wasn’t in real danger while in Iraq. But on Friday’s CNN News Central, Vance’s former officer in…
