Ron DeSantis

The late night quintet spent their Monday shows celebrating the news that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has decided to drop out of the Republican primary by mocking his appearance and making fun of his Winston Churchill blunder by claiming that is what happens when you “ban textbooks.”

Unsurprisingly, Disney-owned ABC News was ebullient on Monday’s Good Morning America with the news from Sunday afternoon that Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) – who took on and embarrassed the Sunshine State behemoth — had dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, calling it an “implosion” and “spectacular failure” that hadn’t been seen in American history.

On Morning Joe, commenting on Ron DeSantis's withdrawal from the race, Joe Scarborough says that DeSantis made the mistake of trying to get into the lane that Donald Trump had already filled, that of the super-MAGA voters. Scarborough depicted Trump as the "Fat Elvis" of 1977, and that people going to see him in Las Vegas weren't going to instead choose a knock-off imitation of Fat Elvis. 

On Wednesday's The Source, CNN host Kaitlan Collins demonstrated that the liberal news network is still showing a double standard in aggressively fact-checking Republicans while still allowing Democrats to peddle misinformation.

The Cable News Network, in an apparent desire to torture its viewers, decided that a one-hour candidate town hall required a two-hour post-show analysis. Which, in this case, was about one hour and 40 minutes too many.

On Tuesday’s installment of MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, the eponymous host defended the media’s decision to project Donald Trump as the winner of the Iowa Caucus even before all precincts and started voting by claiming voters couldn’t change what they were going to do. Meanwhile, correspondent Vaughn Hillyard blamed modern technology for the media’s decision as if it was somehow…

Before many Iowa caucus sites even had attendees cast their ballots, most national news organizations projected former President Trump as the winner, leading to cries of election interference (despite most admitting that was already going to be the outcome). Early Tuesday, CBS Mornings and co-host Tony Dokoupil went against the grain and, unlike ABC’s Good Morning America and…

On CNN This Morning, Jamal Simmons, a CNN commentator and former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, calls Donald Trump a "walking, talking, middle finger."

Monday’s CBS Mornings went to disgusting lengths to smear Americans who are deeply concerned about the ongoing crisis at the southern border, the unfettered flow of illegal immigrants, and the consequences of inaction, such as crime and drugs. Over nearly 10 minutes, the co-hosts blasted millions of Americans for holding “unsettling” views that don’t object to President Trump’s belief…

The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning news shows on Monday ahead of the Iowa caucuses to cheer Nikki Haley as their preferred alternative to former President Trump, boasting of her “new momentum” and desire “to work with Democrats” has “resonate[d]” with Republicans, independents, and “even Democrats” who are considering voting for President Biden in…

A new MRC study by Rich Noyes of all the evening-news coverage of the Republican presidential race on ABC, CBS, and NBC in 2023 makes it obvious the networks want Trump to be the nominee. He drew almost all of the coverage -- other candidates could barely get noticed. And most of the Trump coverage obsessed over his legal problems, mostly avoiding any national policy issues. 

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is a strange person. The latest evidence being his Thursday monologue where he pondered Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s sex life, specifically his supposed lack of skill in that area of his life.

On Thursday morning amid the network recaps of Wednesday night’s GOP presidential debate between Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Nikki Haley, NBC’s Today and senior Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake offered a pants-on-fire lie that the two “launch[ed]” repeated attacks on each other’s records and honesty and “barely criticiz[ed]” frontrunner Donald Trump “[d]espite trailing…

As actual voting is set to begin in the 2024 presidential election, a new study by the Media Research Center finds the three broadcast evening newscasts’ fixation with bashing Donald Trump has meant both his fellow candidates and substantive policy issues have been shunted to the sidelines.
