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…

Following days of controversy, PolitiFact officially gave GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance a “mostly false” rating on Friday for claiming his Democratic counterpart, Tim Walz, abandoned his National Guard unit prior to its deployment to Iraq. However, PolitiFact omitted some key details from those who served with Walz that could’ve changed the truth-o-meter.

CNN’s Laura Coates welcomed Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz’s former National Guard superior, Command Sergeant Major Doug Julin, to her Thursday show to try to defend Walz against claims he quit on his unit prior to its Iraq deployment in order to run for Congress. However, Julin refused to play along, leading Coates to object to the word “quit” and wonder if Walz simply offended him personally…

NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo seemed to think he was back on CNN Wednesday night as he actively tried to downplay the stolen valor scandal rocking the Harris/Walz campaign on his eponymous show. Ignoring the fact that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) lied about going to war and carrying a weapon there, Cuomo presented a misleading timeline of Walz’s retirement and openly suggested it was an…

The first rule of fact-checking is to examine what the person you are fact-checking actually said, but MSNBC’s Ali Velshi broke this simple rule on Wednesday as he guest-hosted Alex Wagner Tonight and took GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance out of context in order to rule him “entirely false” for condemning his Democratic counterpart, Tim Walz, for misrepresenting his military…

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) lit a fire that had only grown larger after he called out his vice presidential opponent Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) for “stolen valor” after he ditched his Army National Guard artillery unit shortly before they deployed to Iraq in 2005. The morning newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC sprang into action Thursday morning as they openly lied about the sequence of events and…
