Merrick Garland

NBC’s Seth Meyers mourned on Thursday’s edition of Late Night that our “stupid system” has enabled Donald Trump to escape his legal difficulties and that there are those in the Democratic Party who think the reason why he won is because they are too far left.

With much of the national media ghoulishly obsessing over fringe conspiracy theories about Hurricane Milton and Russia-related claims from Bob Woodward’s new book, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann actually did his job Wednesday in pressing White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on claims in the Woodward book about Ukraine and President Biden reportedly regretful he made Merrick…

On Friday's Washington Week with the Atlantic on PBS, News Hour reporter Lisa Desjardins brought up Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland (whom the House Republicans voted to hold in contempt) and the earth-shattering news that he’d penned a Washington Post op-ed calling Republican criticism of the Biden Justice Department “baseless, personal, and dangerous.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell announced his decision to step down as the Republican leader in November on Wednesday and MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports was quickly ready to kick the “very hypocritical” and “tainted” McConnell out the door.

A group of Republican representatives have urged the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Attorney General Merrick Garland to preserve potential evidence related to the suspicious deaths of five babies, discovered at a Washington D.C. abortion clinic.

Attorney General Merrick Garland offered a “fiery defense” in a “grueling hearing” of a House Judiciary Committee “stocked with far-right stalwarts,” as The New York Times described it. A special bucket of opprobrium should go to what they call “public broadcasting,” PBS and NPR. On the PBS NewsHour, they could barely manage a two-minute story on the Garland hearing.

After a day of fiesty questions from Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee to corrupt Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland, ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News melted down with rage due to Republicans daring to hold Garland accountable for protecting President Joe Biden's crackhead son Hunter Biden and throwing the book at Donald Trump. 

Even though the various legal cases against Donald Trump are taking place in the obviously partisan environment of a presidential election, an examination of ABC, CBS and NBC evening news coverage finds the networks rarely identified even elected Democratic prosecutors as “Democrats.”

The House Judiciary Committee just hit the scandal-ridden, corruption-filled Department of Justice with fiery subpoenas in connection to a damning investigation.

What a difference a few days can make. Between Friday night and Monday night, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC chose to rediscover Hunter Biden’s life of corruption with 72 minutes and 23 seconds on their flagship morning and evening news shows and Sunday morning political programs. Add in the miniscule tally of four minutes and 50 seconds between the evening of August 1 and the…

Friday afternoon began with a bang as Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland made a move to further protect President Biden, Hunter Biden, and his own tail by giving David Weiss the title of special counsel (while also keeping U.S. Attorney status) to further investigate Hunter. As CBS’s Catherine Herridge and others sniffed out, Garland’s decision after the collapse of the plea deal between…
