'Not Trying to Indoctrinate'; NBC Sucks Up to Far-Left Teachers
On Thursday morning, NBC’s Today partnered with a panel of far-left teachers (who came off like they were picked by their union) for “a fascinating conversation...on what’s happening in” schools and, not surprisingly, they bemoaned how parents and others have made the profession “so toxic and unbearable” by banning teachers from “be[ing] themselves” and insist they’re “not...…
Collective Yawn: Nets Bury CA’s RADICAL Move to End Gas-Powered Cars
California is aggressively moving to end all gas-powered cars by the year 2035. You might think that would be a big deal on the networks. But you’d be wrong. ABC and NBC responded with a collective yawn on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, allowing 23 seconds and 30 seconds, respectively. But that’s still better than CBS. The network avoided California’s radical move, skipping it on the…
Nets Trumpet ‘Sweeping,’ ‘Landmark Victory’ for Dems in Spending Bill
Happy days are here again was the mantra Monday for the broadcast network morning news shows following the Senate’s passage of the massive spending boondoggle, deeming it a “landmark,” “sweeping,” and “hard-fought win” for President Biden as Democrats hope to win the midterm elections. This was despite the fact that, tucked inside their exuberant segments, not only was President Biden barely…
CBS, NBC Omit Key Fact in Rape, Imply Ruling Will Mean More Teen Rapes
After having ignored the story on Wednesday night, CBS and NBC arrived on scene Thursday morning with coverage of an indictment in the rape of a 10-year-old Ohio girl and subsequent abortion in Indiana. But on CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today, neither cared to point out the man who’s confessed to raping her is an illegal immigrant and, in the case of the former, they implied the…
NBC’s ‘Today’ Peddles Gun Control...But Admits Schools Need Security
NBC’s Today wasn’t as devoid of sobriety Wednesday as competitors ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings, but they tripped their hand in support of gun control by tying Republicans to the inability to thwart mass killings. But again, they were more constructive in sticking to the facts and the Uvalde, Texas families who’ve lost loved ones and had an important…
Networks Lobby Viewers to Keep Masking, Imply Pandemic Is Surging Back
Building off its fear-mongering from Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday’s broadcast network morning newscasts encouraged viewers to continue masking up on planes, public transit, and when in airports due to “surging” cases of COVID-19 and a need to support the immunocompromised. This was despite Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s Monday ruling that struck down the nationwide mask mandate on travel…
Departing MSNBC Host Claims He Was ‘Fair’ & Free of ‘Opinion’
On Thursday, MSNBC’s 11:00 a.m. ET hour host Craig Melvin informed viewers that he would be leaving his time slot on the left-wing cable channel to focus on co-hosting NBC’s Today show and being a Dateline correspondent. However, before signing off MSNBC for the last time, the liberal anchor laughably claimed: “I’ve tried to cover the news fairly and steer clear of inserting…
NBC’s Today Pushes False Biden Spin of ‘Putin’s Price Hike’
On Friday, NBC’s Today show went all in pushing false White House spin that months of record-high inflation and soaring gas prices were somehow exclusively caused by the two-week-old war in Ukraine rather than bad economic policy from the Biden administration. The coverage even parroted the President’s dishonest talking points word for word by repeating the phrase “Putin’s price hike…
MSNBC Reporter Heckled By Anti-Biden Protesters in NYC
During a live shot in downtown New York City for MSNBC late Thursday morning, White House correspondent Mike Memoli was repeatedly heckled by protesters critical of President Biden and the media. This occurred while Memoli was laughably trying to promote Biden’s trip to the city as a “model” for how Democrats can address surging crime rates across the country ahead of the midterm elections.…
NBC Spikes the Ball on Washington Rename, Tars NFL as Racist
On Wednesday, NBC’s Today show used the exclusive announcement of the new name for the Washington Football Team – formerly the Redskins – on its air to wail about the team’s previous “racist” name and declare that the NFL has “a race problem.” It’s fitting that the announcement took place on NBC given how the ultra-woke network spent years attacking the sports franchise and demanding…
Of Course: MSNBC Leftist Legal Analyst on Biden’s SCOTUS Short List
On Friday, MSNBC eagerly touted how one of its own, left-wing legal analyst and NYU Law Professor Melissa Murray, was reportedly on President Biden’s short list for the Supreme Court. Interviewing Murray on his 11:00 a.m. ET hour show, anchor Craig Melvin tried to pump her for any information about being contacted by the White House.
70th Anniversary of NBC’s Today: Where In the World is Matt Lauer?
On Friday, the hosts of NBC’s Today show celebrated the network broadcast’s 70th anniversary by highlighting significant moments in the morning show’s history and it’s past hosts. However, one glaring omission was any mention of disgraced former co-host Matt Lauer – despite a handful of fleeting images of the serial sexual harasser during a lengthy montage looking back at the past…
Editor’s Pick: RedState on WH Trying to Clean Up Kamala’s Mess
On Thursday, RedState’s Nick Arama reported on the Biden White House trying to clean up false claims made by Vice President Kamala Harris about the administration’s COVID response during an interview on NBC’s Today show. “Kamala Harris was pressed on the question of where the tests were during an interview for the Today Show with Craig Melvin. Harris said she thought it would be next…
NBC’s Melvin Asks Harris If She’ll Be Dropped From 2024 Ticket
During an unusually tough exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris aired on NBC’s Today show Thursday morning, co-host Craig Melvin actually asked the VP if she would be dropped from the Democratic Party ticket in 2024. A visibly upset Harris bristled that she didn’t want to respond to “the punditry and the gossip.”
