On Wednesday morning ahead of Governor Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) 2024 presidential announcement with Twitter owner Elon Musk, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC lambasted DeSantis from the left and touted former President Trump’s attacks, all in an attempt to bury DeSantis before he officially enters the race.

CBS Ignores Dems Heckling Trump, Decry 'Chaos Entrepreneur' GOP
Immediately following the conclusion of President Biden’s State of the Union address, the commentary cast of CBS News attempted to clutch their pearls into diamonds as they decried heckling of Republicans in the chamber.

ABC Skips Historic March for Life as CBS, NBC Offer Nearly 7 Minutes
On Friday, NewsBusters looked at the past decade of broadcast network coverage of the March for Life and found 25 minutes and 50 seconds from 2013 to 2022 (with over half coming from 2017). For 2023, the total clocked out at six minutes and 52 seconds on their flagship Friday night and Saturday morning news programs, but it all came from CBS and NBC. ABC’s World News Tonight and…

ABC/NBC J6 Committee Better, More ‘Thorough’ Than DOJ Investigators
With the January 6 Committee having held their final hearing on Monday by sending criminal referrals against former President Trump and others to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the liberal broadcast networks swooned for their friends on the committee. ABC and NBC suggested the committee was better at conducting investigations than the DOJ. Meanwhile, CBS was itching to see soon-to-be former…

ABC, CBS Whine Sinema Dealt ‘Big Blow’ to Dem Senate Majority
A couple of the broadcast networks had a serious case of the sads Friday morning as Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema announced she was ditching the Democratic Party label and becoming an independent. This was much to the chagrin of ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings as they lamented the Democratic Party majority in the Senate unexpectedly shrink after initially…

CBS Uses Trump Calling to End Constitution to Dismiss Twitter Files
Three days after Twitter head Elon Musk and journalist Matt Taibbi released the first report on the Twitter Files showing liberal censorship of New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop stole the 2020 election, ABC and NBC have yet to acknowledge these bombshell claims on their flagship morning and evening newscasts, remaining in a world of censorship denialism. CBS arrived…

Nets Tout Oprah Backing Fetterman as CBS Trumpets Failed Kamala Flack
Friday on the “big three” network morning shows from ABC, CBS, and NBC, the trio eagerly touted Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement of the handicapped Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) over longtime colleague and Fetterman’s GOP challenger, Dr. Mehmet Oz. Also on the crazy train, two of them insisted Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was in a tough reelection fight and, on another, they brought in a failed…

CBS, NBC Blame ‘Far-Right Extremism,’ Tea Party Wave for Pelosi Attack
Tuesday’s CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today followed up their attempts Monday to smear tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans as responsible for Friday’s brutal attack on Paul Pelosi by insisting the suspect was engaged in “far-right extremism” and tied to both the Tea Party movement and the 2010 GOP wave.

CBS Wails: It's The End of Democracy if Democrats Don't Win Midterms!
CBS’s Sunday Morning started off with their anchor Jane Pauley fearmongering that if Republicans win in the 2022 midterm elections, “democracy” could end in the United States. Plugging an upcoming segment by correspondent Robert Costa, Pauley fretted that “the very future of our democracy” is on the ballot in 2022.

Nothing to See Here: Nets Downplay Fetterman’s Struggles at Debate
On Wednesday, ABC, CBS and NBC attempted to channel Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars during their morning news shows by telling viewers to move along and dismiss what they saw Tuesday as Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D-PA) showed severe cognitive impairment on a debate stage against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz for Pennsylvania’s open Senate seat.

CBS to PA Voters: SHUT UP About Fetterman’s Mental, Physical State
Just as the liberal broadcast networks tried to keep former Gov. Charlie Crist’s (D-FL) campaign afloat, CBS Mornings did its best to pull Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) across the finish line in his close race against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz. Thanks to chief campaign and election correspondent Robert Costa, CBS had one simple message for voters weighing Fetterman’s health…

CBS Tries Desperately to Insist Lefty Tim Ryan Has Chance to Win Ohio
The midterms segment on Tuesday’s CBS Mornings descended into what’s almost certainly a tall tale as the co-host Tony Dokoupil and chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa attempted to tell viewers that liberal Congressman (and frequent guest on the long-since axed Ed Show) Tim Ryan has a real shot to triumph in the Buckeye State over Republican J.D. Vance.

CBS Laments GOP Remains in 'Lockstep' with NRA
As the National Rifle Association holds its convention in Houston, CBS Saturday Morning lamented that Republicans “remain in lockstep with” with the organization and decried the partisanship showed at the convention, but of course they only meant Republican partisanship. Accusing people of killing children is just the other perspective for CBS.

CBS Anti-NRA, 'Assault Rifles' Narrative Upended by Its Own Reporter
CBS chief political analyst John Dickerson had the tough job of breaking some bad news to the cast of CBS Mornings on Friday as he informed them that the reason why there won’t be an assault weapons ban after Uvalde is because nobody agrees on what an assault weapon even is. Nor is the NRA responsible for the lack of gun control, rather Republican members of Congress are simply…
