Not Just Doocy: Welker Brings Hardball for Psaki, Brings Up Waters
Despite Tuesday featuring the start of the second Trump impeachment trial, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki still held a briefing and faced tough questions from reporters such as Axios’s Hans Nichols, Real Clear Politics White House correspondent Philip Wegmann, and a daily dose of FNC’s Peter Doocy. But most surprisingly, NBC’s Kristen Welker offered a hardball on liberal hypocrisy on…
Newsmax, NY Post Reporters Hammer Psaki on Antifa, Teachers Unions
Friday’s White House briefing sent Press Secretary Jen Psaki into the weekend on another pesky note as she offered a litany of non-answers and snarky comebacks at reporters who asked questions about Antifa, coronavirus relief, immigration, schools, and the administration’s beloved teachers unions. The New York Post’s Steven Nelson was the reporter who got under Psaki’s skin even though his…
Toxic Baby Food Ignored as ABC, NBC Spend 12 Minutes on MTG
The liberal media were making a full-court press in an effort to try to make freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her loony conspiracy theories the face of the entire Republican Party. ABC and NBC were so focused on that mission Thursday that they put aside the health and safety of the families that relied on them for information. Specifically, they ignored a new government…
Psaki Doesn't Apologize for Mocking Space Force, Lies About Cabinet
On Thursday’s episode of the White House press briefing, Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to apologize for having mocked the Space Force a day earlier and skimped on funding schools that teachers unions have kept shuttered, and falsely claimed that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was the first openly gay cabinet secretary.
Nets Try to Spin Conservative WIN Into a Loss With GLARING Omission
The networks on Tuesday left out a HUGE detail as they covered Mitch McConnell agreeing to a power sharing deal in the Senate with Chuck Schumer. McConnell dropped his demand that Democrats agree to maintain the filibuster. But the Today show and CBS This Morning ignored breaking news from Monday that prompted the Republican’s move: Democratic Senator Krysten Sinema announced she is against…
Still Obsessed: Trump Questions Consume Third Biden WH Press Briefing
Despite the fact that Donald Trump is no longer the President and the liberal media now have their friends returned to the White House, the White House press corps couldn’t shake their Trump addiction. On Friday alone, Trump and his administration were pertinent to roughly 16 out of the 45 questions to Press Secretary Jen Psaki (including 15 of the first 23), according to a NewsBusters count…
Oops: Media Darling Tony Fauci Debunks Massive CNN Story on Vaccines
On Thursday morning, CNN White House correspondent MJ Lee filed an anonymously-sourced story on behalf of her fellow lefties that set the agenda for Zuckerville and like-minded outlets (which our friend Drew Holden chronicled in another legendary thread): “Biden inheriting nonexistent coronavirus vaccine distribution plan and must start ‘from scratch,’ sources say.” But as we would learn hours…
Nets Salivate Over ‘Biden’s Big Plans’ to ‘Shock the Political System’
On Monday, the network morning shows were eagerly awaiting President-Elect Joe Biden’s inauguration as hosts and correspondents touted his laundry list of leftist agenda items he planned to enact by fiat in his first few days in office. Of course none of the broadcasts actually labeled the proposed executive actions as liberal, but merely as an effort “aimed at reversing some of President…
Vogue Fawns: NBC Anchors ‘Won the 2020 Election Coverage’
In a fawning profile of NBC News anchors Savannah Guthrie and Kristen Welker published on Thursday, Vogue magazine laughably hailed the pair as “pillars of the fourth estate” who were “determined to hold leaders of both parties to account.” Guthrie’s Trump-trashing townhall ahead of the election and Welker’s slanted moderation of the second presidential debate were cheered as examples…
NBC Scoffs at Calls for Special Counsel for Hunter, ABC/CBS Cover-Up
On Wednesday, multiple Republican senators spoke out and demanded that incoming acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen appoint a special counsel to continue the investigation into Hunter Biden’s dubious business and tax practices before it could be nixed by a Biden administration. Of course, Biden’s defenders in the broadcast networks largely covered up the calls for accountability while …
ABC, CBS Wave GOOD-BYE to Corrupt Hunter Biden, Drop It After a Day
On Thursday night, ABC and CBS waved goodbye to Hunter Biden’s life of corruption, omitting any and all mentions of reports (either from months past or this week) that Hunter’s business dealings in China are said to be part of legal investigations. For ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News, the incoming First Son’s movements in China and Ukraine were (and will…
Hunter Biden Defense Team Assemble! Nets Parrot Dem Talking Points
After barely covering the latest corruption allegations against Hunter Biden on Wednesday, the networks on Thursday morning jumped into full Democrat Protection Mode, spinning for Hunter and Joe Biden and repeating talking points about no wrongdoing. The amount of coverage is still embarrassingly small
Cover-Up: ABC, CBS Barely Cover Hunter Biden Probe, Ignore China
Just over a month after the 2020 presidential election, Hunter Biden and his father’s team dropped their spin operation on Wednesday against any and all criticism of Hunter’s corruption business dealings, admitting that Hunter’s under federal investigation over his taxes. But when it came to the network evening newscasts, ABC and CBS couldn’t be bothered to each give it even a minute’s time or…
Nets Push Trump Pardon Speculation, Ignored Obama Helping Terrorist
For two evenings now, all three of the broadcast networks have peddled unsubstantiated claims from anonymous sources claiming President Trump talking about issuing pardons to himself and his adult children. Both ABC and CBS made sure to make comparisons to President Richard Nixon, with the former straight-up lying about the source of the speculation and claiming it came from the President…
