After kicking off Thursday by downplaying the bombshell New York Post report exposing alleged corruption by the Biden family as just President Trump trying to rehash “an old attack line,” the CBS Evening News knew it wasn’t sticking and shifted gears. No longer questioning the veracity of the emails and other disturbing discoveries, chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes took to arguing, without evidence, that the information was stolen from Hunter Biden by the Russians to tilt the election.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation "on Sunday and called out the Presidential Debate Commission for their election interference.  "I think voters are very frustrated by the corrupt debate commission, that they would cancel a second debate," McDaniel told host Margaret Brennan. "I think it feeds in to the belief that this 47 years that Joe Biden has had in DC is again protecting him from facing the voters. And Americans are frustrated that this election commission interfered with our ability to see these two candidates debate."Brennan then repeated Democratic talking points, noting the existence of...

It turns out the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows won’t show you polls that show the majority of the American voters feeling better off now under President Donald Trump’s economy than under former President Barack Obama’s economy. But they do love parading around questionable polls showing Trump losing the election by double digits.

Sen. Ted Cruz is accusing CBS News of “media bias” after the Australian version of “60 Minutes” recently featured Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who accused Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden of sexual assault. Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, is demanding to know why the interview wasn’t aired in the U.S., where Mr. Biden is running for president. “This is the most complete indictment of media bias ever,” the senator tweeted. “Why does CBS think voters in…Australia need to know about these serious charges against Biden, but not voters in…America (where he’s actually on the ballot)?

You didn’t hear anything about the Tax Foundation decimating the economic credibility of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden the day of the first presidential debate. That’s because the Big Three evening news shows ignored it. The Tax Foundation released its analysis September 29, which revealed that Biden’s tax plan “would reduce GDP by 1.47 percent over the long term,” according to its General Equilibrium Model. But that’s not all. It turns out that everyone, not just the rich, is projected to take a hit in after-tax income by 2030 and hundreds of thousands of full-time equivalent jobs will be lost....

CBS News White House correspondent Ben Tracy tweeted that he felt reporting in North Korea was safer than reporting in the White House on Monday. "I felt safer reporting in North Korea than I currently do at the White House," Tracy said. "This is just crazy." Tracy’s comments follow the infections of President Donald Trump, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, senior counselor to the president Hope Hicks, and other officials who have spent time in the White House with the coronavirus. Before reporting at the White House, Tracy covered North Korea and China, reporting on nuclear weapons and trade between the...

An important anniversary passed this month and predictably received no attention. *** On September 8, 2004, CBS’s “60 Minutes” used forged government documents as the basis for a story that attacked the military record of then-President George W. Bush. It was bad enough that CBS used forged government documents, but what made it worse was that CBS aired this story during the presidential election and timed the airing to coincide with the rollout of Democrat John Kerry’s “favorite son” campaign theme. CBS thus provided the “news” upon which the Democrat candidate based his attack ads. The CBS story was quickly...

"Today marks another important step towards achieving justice against a media that thinks it has a license to smear,"

Facebook has removed 216 Trump ads that claimed "despite the health risks [of] COVID-19 Joe Biden will increase refugees" from Somalia, Syria and Yemen.

Matt Drudge is the latest media mogul rumored to be looking for a cash infusion in the form of a partial sale of his popular news website Drudge Report. The juicy tidbit bounced around this week from the financial world to the publishing world, reaching both high-level executives and humble reporters and editors, including this columnist. Matthew Lysiak, author of “The Drudge Revolution,” says he, too, has heard the rumors, but brushed them off as just that. “I think the rumor that Matt would sell or has already sold the Drudge Report is completely unfounded. I know he is continuing...

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday told President Trump to “shut up, man!” while refusing to say if he wants to add justices to the Supreme Court during the first presidential debate. Trump declined to tell debate moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News whether he would support adding justices to the court if Trump’s conservative pick Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to replace liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Joe Biden is the gift to Conservatives that keeps on giving and Tuesday night's Presidential Debate was no exception. Under a banner reading "The Union and the Constitution Forever," I've never seen two candidates come out swingin' so quickly. It was a fight from the start and Biden, despite his unpatriotic black-and-white tie, was the one bleeding. Joe's blunders began almost instantly. When asked why President Trump should not nominate a replacement to Justice Ginsberg, Joe invalidated the 2016 election claiming the American people were "not going to get that chance” to have their say in the selection of a...

In a particularly tense moment during the first presidential debate on Tuesday night, both Chris Wallace and President Donald Trump pressed Democratic nominee Joe Biden to answer whether or not he would pack the Supreme Court if he won the presidency and Democrats took the Senate next year. As Trump pressed Biden, the Democrat said, “Would you shut up, man?” and added, “This is so unpresidential.” Wallace noted that Democrats, not President Donald Trump, brought up the issue of packing the Supreme Court. “Are you willing to tell the American people tonight whether you will support ending the filibuster or...

CBS News’ John Dickerson calls out Democrat Sen. Kamala Harris for Joe Biden’s “straight up dodge” on packing the Supreme Court

“Battlestar Galactica” actress and Nxivm devotee Nicki Clyne — the wife of former “Smallville” star Allison Mack — defended the upstate cult Tuesday, saying she wouldn’t trade her experiences in it “for anything.” “It’s very unfortunate the way that the word ‘Nxivm’ has been applied and is now synonymous with the term ‘sexual cult,’ which I don’t even know how to define what that is,” Clyne told CBS’ “This Morning” alongside four other Nxivm members. SNIP Federal prosecutors claimed in 2018 that Mack and Clyne were wed “at the behest of … Keith Raniere” but the two haven’t spoken for...

White House reporters are used to getting attacked as "fake news" these days, but on Monday several were reportedly "attacked" in a whole new way: by an angry raccoon. In an incident that sparked viral jokes on Twitter, CBS's Paula Reid said a raccoon on the White House lawn had "attacked multiple news crews." "Strong Pawnee vibes at White House this morning as a raccoon attacked multiple news crews on North Lawn. allegedly grabbed pant leg of a photographer & then a corespondent [sic] before being fended off," she tweeted, referring to the fictional town of Pawnee, Ind. from the...

Back in February of 2016, Amy Coney Barrett did an interview with CBS about filling Supreme Court vacancies. The interview was done shortly after Justice Antonin Scalia passed away and Democrats were pushing for Judge Merrick Garland to be confirmed. Democrats sliced the clip to make it sound as though Barrett was against filling a vacancy during a presidential election year: Here is Judge Amy Coney Barrett explaining why it’s wrong to fill a SCOTUS vacancy during a presidential election year. pic.twitter.com/a5H09OmgsX — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) September 26, 2020 Even the Washington Post concluded that what she was saying was...

The Big Three continue to prove themselves to be just obsessed with defeating President Donald Trump, rather than doing their jobs and reporting good news when it comes. A shocking new Axios report hit yesterday with news that Wall Street is saying that “the recession is over,” and that economic forecasts are now “showing sustained economic growth through 2021 and beyond.” Moreover, U.S. economic activity is projected “to grow more sharply in the third quarter of this year than during any other quarter in history.” On top of this, Bloomberg News reported the same day that U.S. household net worth...

by Joe Callen Joe Biden is hemorrhaging Latino votes to a surging Trump campaign in Florida, and his panicked "news" media allies are pulling out all the stops to help him. Faced with almost non-existent crowds for Biden appearances, CBS News' Norah O'Donnell lied to her "Evening News" viewers by using a photo from a Latinos for Trump in event in Phoenix and tagged it as Biden’s Latino event in Florida. Emblazoned on CBS’s chyron: “Biden pitches crucial Latino voters during Florida campaign stop” — with a photo from Trump’s Phoenix rally...Seriously? A Latina in the photo was literally wearing...

CBS might have a partial interest in the Drudge Report. I don’t know this for a fact but perhaps CBS can let us know.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 14, 2020
