The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows once again proved why the American people should treat their coverage of President Joe Biden’s economy like the deceptive propaganda that it is. The U.S. national debt reached a scary milestone when it surged over a whopping $33 trillion, The New York Times reported Sept. 18 based on newly available Treasury Department data. The development ironically comes amidst left-wing media outlets like The Times bashing House Republicans for daring to push for deep cuts in wasteful government spending. To put this into perspective, the new daunting figure means that “every household in...

It takes a hefty amount of chutzpah for the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows to continue covering up bad news that repeatedly makes Bidenomics look like the disaster it’s been for the U.S. economy. The Hill reported Sept. 12 that the poverty rate rose 4.6 percentage points in 2022, based on data released by the U.S. Census Bureau the same day. This was the measure’s “first increase since 2010.” Specifically, the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which accounts for government programs (e.g. food stamps, tax refunds) in addition to income and benefits, spiked to 12.4 percent in 2022 in...

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday suggested that neither President Joe Biden nor former President Donald Trump were of an appropriate age to lead the nation. Appearing on CBS News, the governor fielded a question as to the ages of Biden, 80, and Trump, 77. Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history while Trump previously held that title. "I think that's absolutely a legitimate concern," the governor said. "The presidency's not a job for someone that's 80 years old, and there's nothing wrong with being 80 obviously. I'm the governor of Florida. I know a lot of people...

CBS News offered a stunning admission that it had "incorrectly" edited a newsworthy exchange between "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan and Vice President Kamala Harris, omitting a key part of the interview. In a preview clip that aired Thursday on "CBS Mornings," Brennan is seen asking Harris about age being a factor in the upcoming election with her elderly running mate, 80-year-old President Biden, at the top of the Democratic ticket. "You're 58 now. If you win the second term, as you and the president are running to do, he would be 86 at the end of it," Brennan...

VIDEOLook at the absolute GLEE on the faces of these CBS "Face The Nation" panelists as they discuss how the absurdly early J6 trial date could be moved even EARLIER. They are salivating at the prospect of Trump getting jammed up by all the court cases being thrown at him by a politically weaponized Justice Department. Their highly partisan faces glow with the aura of the Banana Republic.

Elise Finch, the beloved and well-known meteorologist at CBS New York, has died. She was 51. Finch died at a local hospital on Sunday, according to the network’s announcement Monday morning. Her cause of death was not announced. “This is a very difficult morning for our CBS 2 family,” morning news anchor Cindy Hsu said on Monday’s broadcast, fighting back tears. […] Prior to joining CBS New York, Finch worked on NBC’s “Early Today Show” and MSNBC. …

LifeSiteNews) — CBS News is taking criticism for publishing a laudatory video that celebrates two homosexual men who see “their” newborn daughter for the first time in the hospital. The video actually goes back to 2017 when the girl was born, but CBS News recently republished it, drawing renewed criticism. “This is the moment Ben and his husband Aaron met their daughter Charlotte for the first time [crying emoji, heart emoji],” CBS News tweeted, along with a minute-long video that celebrates the taking of a daughter from her biological parents to be given to two men in a perverse relationship....

Last weekend, police broke up a major sex-trafficking ring in Colombia, which has become a destination for tourists looking for sex with boys and girls. The police had help from an American who went undercover to rescue the children. Tim Ballard has one mission: to track down child traffickers. Four months ago Colombian authorities asked him to investigate a tip that children were being sold there as sex slaves. American Tim Ballard helped authorities in Colombia bust a major sex-trafficking ring, saving 54 children. CBS NEWS "Within a half hour this individual walks up to me asking me what I'm...

If you listen to the mainstream media, “The Sound of Freedom,” a film about the horrors of child sex trafficking, is nothing more than a paranoid, far-right, “QAnon-adjacent” conspiracy theory — a “fantasy” dreamt up by transphobic extremists and starring a cast of “bigots.” The movie, which decimated Disney’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” over the Fourth of July weekend, is based on the true life story of Tim Ballard, a former DHS agent — played by actor Jim Caviezel — who dedicates his life to rescuing children from the clutches of pedophiles who would enslave them. Since...

After a full media cycle of apoplexy and pearl-clutching, which included Andrew Weissmann appearing on MSNBC to declare “It’s the end of Trump,” CBS is now reporting there is no Defense Department memo about attacking Iran – the foundation of the media claims surrounding the leaked audio tapes from Special Counsel Jack Smith. Worse still, and exactly as CTH previously outlined, despite the claims by CNN about how this audio would be used as the “central element” by the prosecution of Trump, the audio and mysterious memo are not part of the Special Counsel case. ..... Snip..... (Via CBS) –...

We live in interesting times. The old media giants are just money-losing properties out of phase with a new arrangement in which networks, free and cable, are being replaced with streaming subscription packages. When Discovery found it had CNN on its hands, it tried to clean house because the cable news network is an unwanted drain. But an even bigger legacy name in news may be circling the drain. Think Cronkite and Rather. Equity analyst Steven Cahall of bank Wells Fargo gives Paramount Corp. another “1-2 years” of throwing “good money… after bad,” chasing a streaming profit that may never...

ABC’s “World News Tonight” and “CBS Evening News” on Thursday evening ignored the bombshell IRS whistleblower allegations that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment from the Justice Department (DOJ) regarding probes into tax violations. On Thursday morning, House Republicans released transcripts of two IRS whistleblowers, one of whom provided evidence that Joe Biden was present when Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese business partner to send them millions of dollars, Breitbart News reported. A second whistleblower also said the DOJ interfered in the effort to investigate Hunter Biden for tax crimes, although Joe Biden’s attorney general recently claimed otherwise.

The dirty series: FBI and FBI international, etc. (2020+) * At FBI on CBS, Zeeko Zaki, Egyptian born Arab Muslim. Originally his post at the series was supposed to be a Hispanic, but since when he got in, he has been trying to promote Islamism via his acting, Asides from portraying Muslims as victims, as a whole. * Since BLM-ism rise post George Floyd, there has been a push by BLMists activists (upon the major networks) to erase any black villains from TV shows. It expanded to put only Whites as villains. * Typical script - FBI (CBS), FBI International...

Over one-quarter of Republican voters – 27 percent – will not consider voting for Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis in the upcoming Republican presidential nomination race. Comparably, just 14 percent of Republican voters say they would not consider supporting Donald J. Trump.The data comes from CBS and YouGov, and sampled a hefty 2,480 U.S. adults between June 7-10th, with a 2.7 percent margin of error.Though considered by many to be Trump’s toughest opponent, Trump and DeSantis are almost as far apart from each other as DeSantis and Senator Tim Scott, who is polling third, 15 points behind DeSantis, with 42...

You probably could have predicted that Joe Biden would take a victory lap after the debt deal finally went through on Thursday. Indeed, I predicted earlier in the day how it would go when I was talking to a family member — Biden would claim what a great bipartisan achievement he’d shepherded while attacking the Republicans over Social Security and Medicare (saying he saved it for Americans). Then he would take no questions.Damn, if I wasn’t right on the money. Of course, it wasn’t anything special — it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to game out their plan. I’ve just...

Nice historical time capsule of the year 1974-75

In a stunning reversal from their prior blackout of the story, CBS News released an exclusive interview this week with an IRS whistleblower who is alleging that the Department of Justice intentionally stymied an investigation into potential tax law violations by Hunter Biden. The moment recalls memories of another famous incident of CBS suddenly turning on a Democrat president, when anchor Walter Cronkite broke with Lyndon B. Johnson’s stance on the Vietnam War, an incident that reportedly caused Johnson to remark, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost America.” That watershed moment came on February 27, 1968, in the midst of...

VIDEOSPOILER ALERT: I still have my $10.Remember the bygone era of the "Big Three" anchors in which almost everybody could easily rattle off the names of the major network anchors? Dan Rather of CBS, Tom Brokaw of NBC, and Peter Jennings of ABC? Well, as you can see in this video, those glory years for the network news are long over. To illustrate this, on April 29, 2023 I offered $10 to people I met at the Ft. Lauderdale Swap Shop to name for me all three anchors of those same networks.

The media love affair with the most suspicious person involved with the Left’s Jan. 6 hoax, Ray Epps, continues. On Sunday evening, 60 Minutes is planning to air a profile of Epps, a man whom they claim has been unjustly vilified in the conservative media. In doing so, they’re just calling new attention to the gaping holes in their Jan. 6 propaganda narrative. ... Over the intervening two years, the Left’s case has steadily unraveled, and one of the most glaring examples of its weakness has been the curious case of Epps .... Epps is the only person who was...
