Political Scandals

During NBC’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd landed a sitdown interview with former Vice President and current presidential candidate Mike Pence. Predictably the interview started off by Todd asking Pence his thoughts on the indictment of former President Donald Trump due to allegations he held onto classified documents after leaving office. There’s an old saying that you shouldn…

Here was the headline this last week in The New York Times:

Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett (R) joined CNN Primetime host Kailtan Collins on Thursday for a discussion that included a tense back and forth about whether CNN is creating “doubt in the mind of the public” by attacking Judge Aileen Cannon in the case of former President Trump’s second indictment with an exasperated Burchett telling Collins “I mean, come on, you're CNN, we know that, it’…

MSNBC spent 93 percent of Tuesday discussing former President Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday and it appears some at the network think that number is too low. One of those voices belongs to contributor, professor, and former Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who joined Thursday’s edition of The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle to demand that Judge Aileen Cannon work with Chief Justice John…

ABC’s Good Morning America co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos isn’t a fan of pushback over the second Trump indictment. In addition to meltdowns last week when now-ex-Trump attorney Jim Trusty brought up the Biden documents probe and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) doing the same on Sunday’s This Week, he pitched a third fit on Thursday’s GMA.…

If you were watching TV news back at the height of the email saga, you were lectured repeatedly about why nobody actually cared about Clinton’s emails, and why you shouldn’t either. Throughout it all, these journalists and their colleagues could barely contain their indignation that Clinton even was under investigation.

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned on Tuesday on charges related to the retention of classified documents and CNN and MSNBC wanted to make sure you were aware of it.

On Monday, news broke that an executive from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma has tapes of then-Vice President Joe Biden and his crackhead son Hunter reportedly discussing bribes they received. Despite news of smoking gun evidence, the big three evening news broadcasts have refused to touch the news. NewsBusters has previously reported that the networks have refused to report on the Biden…

MSNBC propagandist Nicolle Wallace on Monday’s Deadline: White House engaged viewers in a bizarre and creepy “thought experiment” where she insinuated former President Donald Trump taking classified documents after losing the 2020 election was equivalent to Vladimir Putin fleeing a coup in a car loaded up with documents to sell for leverage.

Wallace borrowed this comparison…

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle used Monday’s edition of The 11th Hour to deliver a solemn monologue “for fact’s sake” to attempt to discredit the “misinformation” being spread by Republicans that seeks to compare President Trump’s classified documents indictment to classified documents-related scandals that did not result in indictments. However, Ruhle left out several bits of information…

On Monday, NBC News had an exclusive report on their website revealing that President Biden’s incompetent press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) was found to be in violation of the Hatch Act, a law enacted to strictly limit government officials from getting involved in campaigns. What makes this ironic is that KJP frequently ties herself in knots to avoid answering questions due to her…

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) entered the lion’s den of Monday’s CBS Mornings to promote Tuesday’s release of his latest book, but that was barely covered as, naturally, much of the nearly 10-minute segment focused on trying to have Rubio side with the Biden Justice Department in its indictment of former President Trump following years of asking him to return dozens of classified…

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu took his media education tour to CNN and Anderson Cooper 360 on Friday to inform Cooper that it is “just a fact” to say that President Biden is prosecuting President Trump and that the Justice Department needs to win back trust by doing a much better at explaining itself when it decides to prosecute Trump for mishandling classified documents, but not…

New York Times columnist and the supposedly conservative half of PBS NewsHour’s weekly Friday Brooks and Capehart panel was dismayed that even “supposedly mature and moderate” Republicans were decrying President Trump’s latest indictment as “selective prosecution.” Washington Post columnist and pinch hitter Ruth Marcus went even further, labelling it “sickening.”
