HEARTBREAK CITY: Here’s How ABC/CBS/NBC Handled Friday’s SCOTUS Cases
Just as they did on Thursday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each broke in Friday morning for the final Supreme Court cases of the session, which were President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan (Biden v. Nebraska) and a free speech case involving Christian web designer and LGBTQ individuals (303 Creative LLC v. Elenis).

Here Were the Worst Takes/Best Network Meltdowns on Affirmative Action
On Thursday, the “big three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC twice broke into regular programming to discuss the bombshell Supreme Court rulings that all but took a huge bite out of private and public universities being able to use race as a factor in admissions. Naturally, the liberal networks were forlorn with experts, journalists, pundits blasting, fretting, and seemingly near tears…

Heinrich, Nelson Welcome New KJP Stand-in by Grilling Her on Hunter
Sadly depriving the public of the comically partisan White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates, the Biden regime trotted out Principal Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton on Tuesday to fill in for Karine Jean-Pierre. In turn, Dalton faced some hardballs about the Biden economy, a faux-hardball from a Team Biden apple polisher, and new queries about Hunter Biden’s life of corruption.

PBS’s Washington Week Showers Hunter, Presidential Pop With Sympathy
The PBS weekly political roundtable Washington Week on Friday used Hunter Biden’s surprise appearance at a White House state dinner held for India’s prime minister to actually linger over the Hunter Biden controversy, who attended the dinner just days after news of his plea agreement with the Department of Justice. But the panelists didn’t express shock at the appearance of…

ABC Decries GOP Focusing on Hunter’s Crimes Despite Joe’s ‘Heartache’
ABC’s Good Morning America was up in arms Wednesday morning over Republicans calling out what they understand was a two-tier justice system, one where President Biden’s son continued to benefit from the family name by getting a cushy plea deal on tax crimes and a felony gun charge. Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce whined Republicans didn’t care how “painful” this was for…

Nets Give 20 Mins to Biden Fighting ‘Junk Fees,’ Zero on Bribery Claim
NewsBusters has been all over the liberal media’s double standard when it comes to accusations of liberal impropriety versus conservative wrongdoings, most recently the mountain of coverage for the historic indictment of former President Trump and not even a scintilla of acknowledgment on the flagship morning, evening, and Sunday political talk shows of ABC, CBS, and NBC for allegations of…

CBS, NBC Join ABC, Whine GOP ‘Quick to Pounce,’ ‘Seize’ on Biden Fall
On Friday morning, CBS and NBC had their morning shows join in the effort ABC launched Thursday on World News Tonight to pick Biden up off the proverbial floor following his fall at the U.S. Air Force Academy, lamenting “Republican critics...were quick to pounce” on something that could have happened to “anybody.”

STUDY: TV News Blamed GOP, Not Big-Spending Dems, for Debt Drama
In their coverage of the just-concluded debt ceiling stand-off, ABC, CBS and NBC put the onus for a potential default on Republicans, ignored the dangers of the rising national debt, and hyped GOP proposals to trim spending as extreme attempts to “gut” or “slash” liberal programs.

She Should Take KJP’s Job: ABC’s Bruce Spins for Biden on Border, Debt
Being a frequent NewsBusters reader and/or a trip to our taxonomy term for ABC chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce would give one the impression that Bruce is little more than a doormat for the Biden administration and loyally delivering the day’s preferred spin. Such was the case on Tuesday’s Good Morning America as she enthusiastically spun for President Biden on the border…

Nets Play Lapdog for Biden on Border Crisis; CBS Plays Massive KJP Lie
After first rediscovering the border crisis Tuesday night, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship Wednesday morning news shows to spin on behalf of President Biden and his administration, insisting they’re “bracing for” the surge, “taking this seriously,” or paint them as not responsible for the unfettered surge of illegal immigration. ABC’s Good Morning America…

ABC Teams with WH to Trash DeSantis as Fixated on ‘Cultural Divisions’
Thursday’s Good Morning America continued ABC’s smears of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by lamenting he’s “doubl[ing] down” on the “controversial” “Don’t Say Gay policy” as part of his obsession with exacerbating “hot button issues” and “cultural divisions” that pose risk to the mental health of students by not allowing them to explore sex.

CBS Punts on Bipartisan Bill Declassifying COVID Origins Becoming Law
Late Monday, President Biden relented and signed into law a resolution (passed unanimously in Congress) ordering the director of national intelligence to declassify what’s known about the origins of COVID-19. But, predictably, the liberal media weren’t entirely on board as Tuesday’s CBS Mornings ignored this story and instead featured segments such as a creepy and flirty bit with co-…

Networks Cheer Biden's Reckless Tax & Spend Budget, Omit Key Details
On Thursday, President Biden unveiled his budget proposal for the 2024 fiscal year and the three liberal news networks reacted exactly the way you would have guessed: they ate it up. This is despite the fact that Biden's proposed budget would spend a jaw-dropping 6.8 trillion dollars and would tax Americans who invest in the stock market on unrealized gains for the first time in American…

ABC Massages Biden Mulling Return of Another Trump Border Policy
With the Biden border crisis still raging out of control, President Biden was reportedly mulling over bringing back yet another Trump-era border policy: detaining family units. News of this policy percolating in the White House on Tuesday had ABC’s Good Morning America running defense trying to massage the message and assure the public it was “just one option that is on the table” and…
