Culture
April 28th, 2020 11:13 PM
Mixed-ish, ABC's prequel to Black-ish, is well known for being a politically charged, anti-conservative show based in the 1980s. On Tuesday's episode, "Every Little Step," they continued this trend when Paul (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) accused Reagan of planting crack in the black community.

Ignoring Rape Claim Against Biden, ABC/CBS Cheer Hillary’s Endorsement
April 28th, 2020 8:46 PM
It was one of the most predictable developments on the Democratic side of the 2020 presidential election: two-time presidential flunky Hillary Clinton endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden. But that didn’t stop ABC’s World News Tonight from fangirling Tuesday and declaring it “another big milestone” for the campaign. At the same time, ABC News and CBS Evening News continued their blackout of…

April 28th, 2020 12:10 AM
A month after President Trump had invoked the Defense Production Act calling on General Motors to manufacture ventilators for the coronavirus crisis, CBS Evening News refused to acknowledge that fact as they praised to automaker on Monday.

CBS, NBC Rail Against Red States for Reopening, Shelter Blue States
April 27th, 2020 9:30 PM
There's perhaps nothing more elitist than major national journalists whining about unemployed people getting their income back since they don’t need to worry about losing their jobs overnight. But the elitist anger of CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News notably only found select targets Monday night: red states, while states ran by Democrats were largely sheltered from their scorn.

ABC Hypes Trump's 2020 Chances Getting 'Decimated by This Coronavirus'
April 26th, 2020 5:18 PM
While they are rightly spending a lot of time covering the coronavirus crisis, the media were still political entities. ABC proved that fact during Sunday’s This Week when three of their journalists (chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl, and senior congressional correspondent Mary Bruce) hyped how President Trump’s campaign messaging took a massive hit and…

April 26th, 2020 11:29 AM

Despite Media Silence, Biden Assault Allegation Gaining Traction
Culture
April 24th, 2020 7:31 PM
As Joe Biden marches, or rather slow crawls, to the Democratic presidential nomination, more and more #MeToo activists are finding it quite hard to ignore his sexual assault allegation and history of inappropriate touching. The only question is, why haven’t the mainstream media been as invested in these earnest women, as they were when Brett Kavanaugh was under fire?

CBS’s Paula Reid Ghoulishly Touts Body Bags Left Outside Trump Hotel
April 23rd, 2020 8:47 PM
Possibly still raging from when her heated outburst during a coronavirus press briefing was shot down by President Trump last week, CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid flashed her hatred for the President during Thursday’s CBS Evening News. She kicked off the video portion of her report by boasting about how radical leftist protesters had left a pile of “empty body bags” outside the Trump…

How Did CBS Celebrate Earth Day? Declaring Humans Aren’t Needed
April 23rd, 2020 12:04 AM
How did CBS Evening News celebrate Earth Day? By sharing the ugly sentiment that humans were not needed.

Nets Pounce on Bogus Claim Doctor Fired for Opposing Drug Trump Pushed
April 22nd, 2020 9:21 PM
On Wednesday, the liberal media lit up with the new anti-Trump narrative about Dr. Rick Bright, who claimed without evidence that he was fired from his HHS position for opposing the use of hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug President Trump had touted as a possible treatment for the Chinese coronavirus. But new reporting from Politico (not a right-wing outlet) found officials had been…

Nets Decry Trump’s ‘Hardline’ Immigration Order as Base ‘Dog Whistle’
April 21st, 2020 9:06 PM
Tweeting late Monday night and revealing details on Tuesday, President Trump announced that he would be signing an executive order to limit immigration into the U.S. in order to prevent new coronavirus infections, and protect American jobs as state economies reopened. All three of the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were in harmony as the liberal choir sang a song decrying the “…
'Roswell, New Mexico' Indulges in Extraterrestrial Threesome
Culture
April 20th, 2020 11:20 PM
The good news is that CW’s Roswell, New Mexico seems to have moved on from talking about abortion. The bad news is that now it seems comfortable showing alien threesomes. Somehow, this was not the step I was hoping this sci-fi series would take.

April 19th, 2020 4:54 PM
After completely ignoring previous polls that showed President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis getting majority support, NBC political director Chuck Todd used a portion of Sunday’s Meet the Press to whine that a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll had found the President’s approval rating was unmoved from a year ago, despite his impeachment and the pandemic.
