Ratings for ABC’s “World News Tonight” fell by over 10% since the Sept. 10 debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis. The Disney-owned network’s broadcast news program hosted by Muir that airs at 6:30 p.m. EDT drew an average of 7.6 million viewers before the September 10 debate, but only drew an average of 6.7 million viewers in the three days after the debate, according to Fox News. Muir and Davis, who hosts the program on weekends, were criticized for making so-called “fact checks” on Trump...

ABC News is apparently pressing the panic button in the wake of fierce criticism of its Sept. 10 presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. A sworn statement by an ABC News whistleblower exposing network bias favoring Harris continues to be in focus regarding “assurances” to the Democrat’s campaign days before the event. Now David Muir, anchor of ABC’s “World News Tonight” and co-moderator of the debate, is defending his performance during the matchup, as ratings for his evening news broadcast have plunged some 12% in the aftermath. “ABC News has offered assurances to the Harris...

CNN‘s Juliette Kayyem voiced concerns that the multiple attempts on former president Donald Trump‘s life could help him politically and propel him to the White House. Kayyem had a strange choice of words to describe the assassination attempt against the former president, calling the situation a “problem” and “unfortunate” – that is to say, a problem for the media and Democrats. Authorities arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh after the Secret Service noticed his AK-47-style rifle as he hid in the shrubbery only a few hundred yards away from the former president at the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, Florida....

I thought it was strange to visit Rotten Tomatoes to find out what the score was for The Daily Wire’s Am I Racist. The main page looks like this – you’ll note no score for the movie and reviews listed as “zero.” There are reviews, however. There are five: I wondered why there wasn’t the 100% score for that. A quick google search brings up this: So it has to be “top critics” and not “mid critics.” When you click the “movies” link, you see this: Here are the two side by side: So what gives? Am I racist came...

Documents are being reported by prominent 𝕏 users as being the rumored ABC News whistleblower affidavit. If they are real and if the information in them is accurate, then this is a legitimate bombshell that will be widely ignored by all of corporate media. The skeptic in me wants to wait to hear from “official” sources, including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson who is allegedly in contact with the whistleblower. But everything about the document seems to jibe with not only what has been rumored but also what we saw during the ABC News presidential debate last week. Here...

Vice President Kamala Harris recently sat down for her first solo interview since securing the Democratic nomination, but the outcome did not go as smoothly as some may have hoped. The interview, conducted by ABC News reporter Brian Taff and aired on ABC 6, raised concerns about the network’s editorial decisions, particularly in how Harris’ responses were presented to viewers. During the short interview, Harris was asked to provide specific actions she would take to lower costs for Americans, a pressing issue as inflation continues to impact households across the country. However, instead of offering a clear, concise response, Harris...

Robin DiAngelo is a grifter who has made millions off a hateful book titled White Fragility. She is one of the left-wing “anti-racists” who were interviewed by Matt Walsh in the Daily Wire film Am I Racist?, which opened yesterday and which I reviewed at the link.Walsh’s interview of DiAngelo is one of the film’s highlights. She has no idea who Walsh is, and he introduces himself as “Matt.” You can’t be too careful these days, she says. The high point of the interview is when they talk about reparations, which DiAngelo favors. It happens that a member of the...

An ABC News spokesperson vehemently asserted "we never gave the Harris campaign any debate questions in advance or helped her in any covert manner. Anyone who watched the debate saw for themselves that all of the assistance we gave to Vice-President Harris was overt. In the month prior to the debate 100% of our coverage of the Harris/Walz campaign was favorable. Meanwhile 93% of our coverage of the Trump/Vance campaign was unfavorable and 7% merely acknowledged known facts like Trump is a convicted felon." ABC's Lindsey Davis admitted "in the Biden/Trump debate the CNN moderators allowed statements that weren't refuted...

ABC News anchor Linsey Davis revealed in a post-debate Los Angeles Times puff-piece profile how she, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir and ABC producers schemed to ambush President Trump with ‘fact checks’ at Tuesday night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia with Kamala Harris after watching Trump crush and knock Joe Biden out of the race in their June debate. The fact checking at the debate was one-sided, with Trump being interrupted by Muir and Davis several times with ‘fact checks’ while Harris was not ‘fact checked’ once. Going into the debate, there was concern about Harris’ friendship with a...

Rumors are flying online that a whistleblower is going to come forward today in the form of a sworn Affidavit to expose the alleged “rigging” of the Debate in favor of Kamala Harris. But is it true? We don’t just publish rumors here, we investigate and give you the straight scoop — as best we can determine. So let’s dig in…. It all started yesterday when reports like this started to go viral online from some pretty big, normally reputable accounts: ****************************************************** Chuck Callesto @ChuckCallesto · Follow BOMBSHELL REPORT: ABC whistleblower to reveal Harris campaign was given SAMPLE QUESTIONS that...

When the film Truth premiered in 2015, only a little over ten years after the events depicted, film critics seemed to take the movie as a historical account. Based on Mary Mapes’s memoir Truth and Duty, the film was something else again. It prompted John and me to revisit the story in the Weekly Standard article “Rather shameful.” On Power Line I itemized “problems” with the film in “Lies of Truth.” Today is the twentieth anniversary of the CBS News broadcast that we helped expose as a fraud in the run-up to the 2004 presidential election. I find that even...

Anti-Trump billionaire businessman and investor Mark Cuban unwittingly criticized Kamala Harris’s plan to tax unrealized gains, admitting it would tank the stock market. During an interview with CNBC, Cuban suddenly became flustered when the hosts pointed out that Harris’ plan was not only a bad idea but that the Vice President had not been clear about her policies. Realizing that he had just told the truth on national TV, Cuban tried to walk back his criticism and defend Harris, which only made things worse. Cuban became increasingly agitated, stuttering and repeatedly saying “no.” During a speech in New Hampshire this...

Yesterday I went to see Reagan. Excellent movie. Go see it.There is a scene in the movie after President Reagan is shot where he gets a hospital visit from Tip O'Neill. They pray together.Even as recently as a few years ago when a Bernie Sanders supporter tried to kill Republican Congressmen and injured Steve Scalise, members of both parties condemned the act and cheered Scaise's recovery.A few months ago, when President Trump was shot, Democrats' responses largely fell into three groups: deny that it happened, claim that Trump staged it, or wish that the shooter had better aim,What has happened...

I grew up watching this every fall...

Predictions that Vice-President Kamala Harris' first interview since she was declared the Democrat nominee for president without winning a single vote in any Democrat primary were dashed by the scintillating performance of Kamala and her running mate Gov. Tim Walz (Minn) to moderator Dana Bash's probing questions. Asked about her previous support for outlawing fracking, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, and no bail release of arraigned criminal suspects, Harris declared "as I have said on numerous occasions before, we must not let ourselves be burdened by what has been. My campaign is about bringing joy and unity to every person in...

Wisconsin voter Melody Davy debated Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity with ABC host Martha Raddatz on Sunday, after Davy questioned whether or not Harris is black. During a segment on ABC’s “This Week,” Raddatz interviewed voters in key swing states about their upcoming election choices. While discussing black voters’ recent shift toward the right, Davy revealed she’s “leaning” toward voting for former President Donald Trump and questioned if Harris had lied about “her heritage.” “And why is that?” Raddatz asked after Davy said she was leaning toward voting for Trump. “A lot of the stuff Kamala says is kind...

Left-leaning media outlets like MSNBC are doing their best to protect Vice President Kamala Harris from scrutiny. As Ben Shapiro has been so keen on pointing out these last few weeks, it’s been nearly 30 days since Harris became the de facto Democrat nominee, and not once in that time has the media asked her an adversarial question. The media, which once loathed Harris, has provided nothing but glowing coverage of her. It hasn’t pushed her to lay out her policy proposals or explain how her new administration would be any different than the disastrously unpopular one she is currently...

Actor and comic Michael Rapaport has done a complete 180 on former president Donald Trump after “talking trash” about him for years. Earlier this year, Rapaport began hinting he was considering voting for Trump. During an appearance on the Sage Steele podcast, Rapaport admitted that he was wrong about Trump, most notably with economic issues and Israel. “I was wrong. ‘Cause. I talked shit about Jared [Kushner] … I was first in line talking shit about Trump. All day, every day,” Rapaport said, adding that he still didn’t like Trump’s “month” or some of his behavior. However, he admitted Trump...
