The newest NewsBusters research underlined that ABC, CBS, and NBC unloaded greater than 27 hours of protection on the late intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein, largely taking part in up his affiliation with President Trump (and never Invoice Clinton). Against this, the networks spent months ignoring Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo and different embarrassing scandals.
Managing Editor Curtis Houck joined the present to debate his research numbers that he is labored on for a yr. Affiliate Editor Nick Fondacaro additionally joined the present to replace us on how Zachary Younger’s guide on his victorious defamation lawsuit in opposition to CNN is getting huge hostility from the CIA. They advised him to delete his total guide, which is ridiculous.
If we have discovered something at NewsBusters concerning the community protection of Donald Trump, it is that it is reliably about 90 % adverse, it doesn’t matter what is definitely taking place. Trump’s protection was extremely adverse after he was shot within the ear in 2024.
However their aggression on the “Epstein information” and connecting Trump to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been large within the final yr. Curtis discovered that ABC, CBS, and NBC mixed for 1,627 minutes of obsessive protection (or 27 hours and 7 minutes). Curtis then listed what could possibly be executed in that very long time fame:
- Run six marathons.
- Stroll 88 miles.
- Watch over 10 Main League Baseball video games.
In February, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos proclaimed that the Epstein story “has bedeviled President Trump’s second time period,” as if the media hasn’t chosen to “bedevil” Trump always with it. Provided that Trump broke off his friendship with Epstein earlier than he was revealed as a intercourse offender, it’s arduous to assert they had been sex-abuse buddies. Stephanopoulos would by no means interact in this sort of smear over his outdated boss Invoice Clinton’s friendship with Epstein, which might clarify why this by no means grew to become a problem within the Hillary vs. Trump race in 2016.
The primary Trump time period was dominated by the Russian collusion hoax. The networks have tried to make the second Trump time period concerning the Epstein collusion hoax. Because of this no person wants them for “information.”
Graham Platner reluctantly ended his marketing campaign for the Seante in Maine, and it is apparent that the Democrats and their media allies made all types of ridiculous excuses for all the scandals pouring out of Platner’s historical past, issues that he has executed and issues that he has stated. The networks could not discover the story of the Nazi SS tattoo for months. Platner’s spouse warning his marketing campaign that he had despatched sexual texts to different girls was the story that spurred the networks to say him.
What could look probably the most ridiculous now could be the TIME journal cowl story simply seven weeks in the past by Julia Terruso: “After a long time of nominating buttoned-up technocrats with glittering résumés, many Democrats need candidates with flaws, pale ink, and redemption arcs that resemble their very own. Platner’s previous, in different phrases, may very well be his path.” She then quoted an Obama adviser, Jim Margolis, to underline it: “Democrats are keen to guess on somebody who could have a number of warts however feels recent, unscripted, and tuned in. His ‘distinction’ could be his secret sauce.”
One of the vital weird flip-flops got here from The View co-host Sunny Hostin, who marched on a tough line advocating for Platner to remain within the race and voting for Platner it doesn’t matter what got here out within the press. Then, on the morning earlier than Platner withdrew, Hostin flipped and stated he needed to go. Who received to her?
We needed to talk about Hostin’s weird response popping out of the July 4 weekend on Monday, being triggered by the American flag: “After I stroll right into a group and I see American flags everywhere in the group and I instantly really feel unsafe, as a result of there is a part of this nation that has co-opted the American flag they usually equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy.”
