Tiny Violins: CBS Frets Voters Aren’t Obsessed With 2020 in Midterms
Wednesday’s CBS Mornings saw the latest installment in their foolhardy mission to save their team ahead of the 2022 midterm elections by fretting Arizonans haven’t made where candidates stand on the legitimacy of the 2020 election a top priority. As a result, Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Republican senatorial candidate Blake Masters are neck-and-neck with their Democratic…
‘New Twist’; Nets Celebrate Lefty Sheriff's Criminal Probe of DeSantis
The major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC have spent days bellyaching and screeching about Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) sending flights of less than 50 illegal immigrants to ultra-liberal Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, so it was only natural Tuesday that their morning shows would be ebullient over a far-left Texas sheriff launching a criminal investigation of DeSantis.
Nets MELT DOWN Over DeSantis Flights Causing a ‘Humanitarian Crisis’
Friday morning’s network news programs featured the third set of newscasts kvetching and screeching about how the liberal elite’s beloved Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts was beset with a “humanitarian crisis” of just under 50 illegal immigrants, who were turned into “pawns” thanks to “an audacious stunt” from Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
Nets SEETHE Over ‘Inhumane’ DeSantis Playing ‘Politics’ With Illegals
On Thursday, CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today were nearly apoplectic over Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) sending two flights of illegal immigrants Wednesday to the rich, white, and liberal Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, calling it “inhumane” behavior “us[ing]” so-called “migrants” to play “politics” and overwhelm such a “great, great place.”
'Positive Spin': Nets Isolate Biden From Blame for Inflation Report
While each took a different approach, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC worked Wednesday to isolate President Biden from blame for the pitiful August inflation report showing it came out to 8.3 percent (when the predicted number was 8.1 percent) with energy, food, and rent still soaring. Instead, some of them trumpeted Biden’s “positive spin” and that he’s “not worried about”…
Which Party? Nets Leave One KEY Detail in Murder of Las Vegas Reporter
On Wednesday afternoon, Clark County, Nevada Public Administrator and Democratic Party official Robert Telles was arrested in connection with the death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German following a series of stories German had penned about what sources told him was an abusive culture in Telles’s official and an inappropriate relationship with a colleague. Of course…
They Won't Stop: CBS Beats Dead Horse on Biden’s Midterm Prospects
To borrow a headline from a recent episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings made it even more evident that, given their persistent simping for President Biden and his political allies ahead of the midterms, they need to hear this message: Stop trying to make fetch happen. CBS has gone above and beyond compared to its morning competitors with ABC’s Good Morning…
GROSS: Nets Gush Over ‘Blistering,’ ‘Fiery’ Biden Speech Smearing GOP
The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC eagerly reported Friday morning of how President Biden spent Thursday evening declaring former President Trump and his 74-million-plus voters are not only dangerous, but threats to national security (despite Biden’s attempts to walk it back). Instead of offering pushback or how the speech was an official White House event in Philadelphia with…
CBS Plays Biden Propagandist, Cheers Focus on Abortion, Smearing GOP
As part of their ongoing commitment to bolstering the left’s chances in the midterms, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings cheered the return of President Biden after a months-long slumber “with a stark new message” on abortion and targeting his political adversaries as not only wrong, but a threat to the “soul of the nation.”
‘On the Attack’; Nets Hail ‘Fiery’ Biden’s ‘Semi-Fascism’ Smear on GOP
The liberal media have spent years insisting that rhetoric from Donald Trump and his supporters about the media and their leftists allies are not only wrong, but dangerous. However, when it comes to their friends inflaming tensions and assigning the worst motives to conservatives, the liberal media either ignore it or endorse it and that’s what they did in trumpeting President Biden’s “fiery”…
Nets Cheer Dems Having ‘Road Map’ to Win Midterms With Abortion
The “big three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC tried on Wednesday morning to resurrect the Democratic Party’s midterm election prospects, using the results of a special election for a Hudson Valley seat in dark blue New York to insist their side has the “momentum” and a “road map” to put up “a fiercer fight” against Republicans by foisting abortion on voters as their top issue.
Obsessed CBS Demands Tim Scott Talk All Trump All the Time
Despite journalists saying otherwise, Donald Trump really is their favorite topic. This was proven again on Tuesday as Tim Scott appeared on CBS Mornings to talk about his new book, but the hosts of the show fixated on Trump. Eleven of the 16 questions to the Republican senator were about Trump before finally getting to the book.
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…
ABC, CBS Fret WH ‘Nemesis’ Manchin's ‘Crushing Blow’ to Climate Plans
On Thursday night, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) told his party’s leadership that he wouldn’t support President Biden’s latest attempt to pass his climate change agenda and other massive social spending proposals, so it was only natural that the liberal broadcast networks bemoaned on Friday that a Biden “nemesis” senator bankrolled by fossil fuels had dealt “a crushing blow” to fighting climate…
