ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news shows all led into the impending arrival of Hurricane Milton by promoting President Biden and Vice President Harris trashing Donald Trump for spreading hurricane "misinformation." Only NBC allowed the view that the Federal Emergency Management Agency might not be doing a stellar job after Hurricane Helene.

ABC continued to show its virulent hatred and bias toward former President Trump on Wednesday’s World News Tonight and Thursday’s Good Morning America as, along with CBS’s respective shows (CBS Evening News and CBS Mornings) and NBC’s Today, they’ve refused to tell their viewers about a poll of Teamsters rank-and-file members showing nearly 60…

On Monday, CBS Mornings ghoulishly placed the second Trump assassination attempt in two months alongside the former President’s “incendiary rhetoric” triggering “threats of violence” in Springfield, Ohio and against Haitian immigrants. This disgusting attempt to muddy the waters and minimizing those wanting to kill Trump was seen hours earlier as ABC and NBC willingly chose to make this…

On Friday, former Vice President Dick Cheney and daughter and former Rep. Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris while the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Donald Trump. For ABC, NBC, and CBS's Saturday morning shows, the former was a “huge” deal while the latter was portrayed as ironic given Trump’s legal controversies or simply ignored.

Thursday’s CBS Mornings spent nearly its entire two hours of run time (with commercials) celebrating the previous day’s proceedings at the Democratic National Convention as if they have a personal stake in ensuring Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) win in November. Not only that, but the show felt the need to ebulliently hold up the various speakers at the DNC,…

With President Biden’s Wednesday Covid diagnosis and growing questions about his competence taking top billing over the Republican National Convention on Thursday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC didn’t mince words in burying Biden by observing this “coordinated” push by other Democrats to force him out was reminiscent of a famous scene from A Few Good Men and deployed a term they’d repeatedly…

Prior to Tuesday’s guilty verdict in the corruption trial of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez (NJ), the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC spent only nine minutes (8:56) on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday morning political talk shows. But by Tuesday night, they came out of the wilderness with six minutes of coverage (6:08).

The four nightly broadcast news shows (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS) on Tuesday presented Attorney General Merrick Garland’s House hearing as a brave moment where he proclaimed he would "not be intimidated" by House Republican demands. 

Two years ago, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Eighteen months earlier, liberal journalists fumed when a nearly mirror-image Senate vote elevated federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett, but Jackson’s confirmation was a time for “celebration” of a new Justice who “represents excellence” and the “American Dream.”

The Friday morning broadcast network news shows were in spin mode to defend and cheer on leftist queen and Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis as she gave “fiery, fierce”, and “dramatic” testimony in a hearing as to whether she will be tossed off the Georgia 2020 election case against former President Trump and his 18 co-defendants due to a romantic relationship with Special…

As NewsBusters has documented, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their Monday morning and evening news shows to run crisis communications for the Biden administration and U.S. Senate to promote their border deal. By Tuesday morning, it turned towards shaming Republicans as they whined “the vibes in Washington are not good” as Donald Trump “told” Republicans to ensure they “tanked” the deal.
 

With the senators behind the bipartisan border deal having finally unveiled the text of their bill on Sunday night, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC went all out on their Monday morning news shows to fluff the pillows of dealmakers, giving few to any details beyond cursory allusions to give it maximum appeal and painting GOP opposition as driven by former President Trump.

Some of our major networks made an editorial decision not to cover the upcoming hearing, ordered by the judge overseeing the Trump trial in Atlanta, regarding misconduct allegations against Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis. We are thus reminded of that great Iowahawk quote: “Journalism is about covering important stories, With a pillow. Until they stop moving.”

Regarding the latest network coverage (or lack thereof) Wednesday night and Thursday morning concerning Hunter Biden’s life of corruption, we’ve got some good news and we’ve got some bad news. The bad news? ABC, CBS, and NBC saw no problem with Hunter’s shameless stunt appearing before the House Oversight Committee as they debated a contempt of Congress resolution. The good news was Thursday’s…
