On Tuesday’s Good Morning America, ABC analyst Matthew Dowd blamed “conservative talk radio” for Hillary’s lead in the polls. After anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Dowd if Trump would continue bringing up Bill Clinton’s accusers in this “scorched earth approach,” Dowd responded that Trump was getting his cues from talk radio and that was hurting him in the polls.

On Monday’s Good Morning America Jon Karl fact-checked the two presidential candidates statements from Sunday night’s debate. In his first fact-check, he analyzed Trump’s comment calling out Clinton for deleting 33,000 e-mails and rated it as “mostly true,” while at the same time trying to defend Clinton’s actions as not as bad ast Trump made them out to be.

As Newsbusters’ Scott Whitlock noted last night, Sunday night’s hostile debate was made even more so by the performance of moderators Martha Raddatz and Anderson Cooper, who frequently tried to insert themselves into the debate by interrupting and arguing primarily with GOP candidate Donald Trump. During the debate, Martha Raddatz cut off Donald Trump on a number of questions while letting…
While safety is typically one’s top concern when facing a natural disaster, apparently partisan politics should be more important, to ABC. Former Bill Clinton staffer turned news anchor George Stephanopoulos turned a interview with Republican Governor of Florida Rick Scott about Hurricane Matthew into an argument for Hillary Friday morning on Good Morning America, when he badgered Scott to let…
For the second night this week, NBC has played nice with Hillary Clinton’s daughter, while not giving the same treatment to Donald Trump’s children. It started on Saturday Night Live, when, during a Family Feud skit, Chelsea was noticeably missing from the Clinton family lineup, and thus avoided ridicule, while Trump’s children were shown as creepy “Children of the Corn.” On Thursday night’s Late…
As liberal as the panelists are on ABC’s The View, sometimes you will get more balanced news coverage than you will on ABC’s actual news programs. Case in point, Wednesday’s show discussed Bill Clinton’s statement Monday where he blasted Obamacare as “the craziest thing in the world.” Since that comment was made Monday, ABC’s news programs have completely ignored the comment, not bringing the…
Immediately following last night’s Vice-Presidential Debate, analysts at ABC were eager to downplay Kaine’s constant interruptions and highlight Pence’s “false” claims instead. The next morning’s coverage of the debate on ABC was more of the same, with Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl declaring Pence as “less than factual.” ABC did not bother to call out Kaine even once for any of…
Amidst a mind-numbingly naive discussion about the Clintons on ABC’s the View Friday, the panel inadvertently got extremely close to the truth. After Trump threatened to bring up Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky in the next debate, the panel decided to talk about whether or not Hillary Clinton should be called out on that issue. While Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin eagerly defended Hillary for “…
Just like ABC’s interviews with VPs Mike Pence and Tim Kaine on Monday, this week’s ABC interviews with the two presidential campaign managers were staggeringly different from each other. On Tuesday’s The View, the panelbarely made Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook sweat, but pummelled Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Thursday with harsh questions. Completely serious, Whoopi actually…
