Norah O'Donnell

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).

CBS ran a news special on Sunday night after President Biden’s remarks in the Oval Office. CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell interviewed former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and dragged him right back to January 6 to discuss how rhetoric has grown hotter. Typically, CBS didn’t include itself in the atmosphere of overheated rhetoric.

After wavering on the ongoing push to oust President Joe Biden and appearing to fall back in line, it appears that the Regime Media have found their nerve once again, bolstered by both former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s appearance on Morning Joe and by George Clooney’s op-ed in The New York Times calling for Biden to step down.

After amplifying many of the calls for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential campaign in the wake of his disastrous debate performance, there appears to be a change of mind. After Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos and subsequent retrenchment, the networks have begun to fall back in line.

Following the first 2024 Presidential Debate, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) had very little to say in President Joe Biden’s favor. The post-debate coverage emphasized what was obvious to all viewers, specifically that the night was a disaster for Biden’s campaign.

The United States Supreme Court issued an opinion today with far-reaching implications for free speech protections from government censorship via third parties. The network evening newscasts chose NOT to cover that ruling, choosing instead to cover an inadvertently-published and quickly retracted ruling on the left’s apex issue: abortion.

Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public schools across the state. The corporate media’s reaction to this development is best described as a collective muted hysteria.

The botched U.S.-built humanitarian pier in Gaza, known by some as “Port Biden”, remains an ongoing embarrassment to the Biden Administration due to its general unserviceability. And except for CBS, the Regime Media remain loath to cover the pier’s most recent collapse.

We are repeatedly told that the press has a fundamental role in safeguarding our institutions, nay, our Democracy- notwithstanding the media’s role in the left’s ongoing attack against the Supreme Court. But, on occasion, the truth emerges. 

A Media Research Center analysis shows the networks have done their best to keep their coverage of Hunter Biden's criminal trial to a minimum, avoiding any discussion of the more serious legal allegations surrounding Hunter’s business dealings. ABC, CBS and NBC have also shown consistent sympathy towards an obviously dysfunctional First Family.

ABC, CBS, and NBC were not only exhausting airtime fawning over and spinning for Hunter Biden as his first criminal trial got underway, but also rallying around Dr. Tony Fauci on Monday night and Tuesday morning over the “contentious”, “heated” and “hostile” House hearing he endured on the COVID-19 pandemic response that left him “defiant” yet “emotional” over “the threats” posed by critics.…

The networks must have collective whiplash. The brutality and edge of their coverage of former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan business records trial is eclipsed by the collective tenderness with which they’re handling Hunter Biden’s federal trial on gun charges in Wilmington, Delaware.

Thursday’s CBS News Special Report on the guilty verdict for former President Trump reveled in the sham trial brought by far-left Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg as “an extraordinary moment” of “enormous gravity” in which “everything about politics and law and our orientation to both are convulsed as never before”, but bemoaned the incoming “grievance war” from the Trump team and took exception to…

Unlike the jury in the courtroom, millions of citizens have seen the evidence only as depicted by the liberal news networks — an often skewed version that seemed more designed to embarrass and antagonize the Republican presidential candidate than to scrutinize the merits of the case against him.
