The network newscasts could hardly restrain themselves from gleefully reporting on special counsel Jack Smith's latest anti-Trump dump of a document. They dearly loved Liz Cheney, the "hardcore Republican," campaigning with Harris. But they wouldn't touch claims that Kamala's husband Doug Emhoff slapped a girlfriend silly.

The CBS veep debate wasn't bad as ABC, but the moderators quickly broke their own promise not to "fact check" the candidates (meaning the Republicans). After weeks of portraying Vance as a woman-hating, immigrant-baiting monster, Vance confounded CBS and other outlets by sticking to civil discourse and hitting soft notes for swing voters.

MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider explains their latest research into Google, that a clean Google search for the presidential candidates will lead you to Democrat media sources (Politico, New York Times, Washington Post). On Harris, it found a whole series of articles on a Democrat expert predicting Harris would defeat Trump.

Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro fills in as host alongside Media Editor Bill D’Agostino in the co-pilot’s chair as they analyze the President Biden’s appearance on ABC’s The View; we should all be so lucky to find someone who looks at us the way they looked at him. They also discuss D’Agostino’s discovery of a disturbing trend that seems to have emerged from ABC and CNN’s coverage.

While the pro-Kamala networks have eagerly shared "resurfaced" or "unearthed" videos that show J.D. Vance talking about childless cat ladies or childless teachers brainwashing the kids, they can't locate videos of Kamala Harris chanting "down, down, with deportation" or agreeing that prostitution should be decriminalized.

The pundit panel on NBC's "Meet the Press" was impressed by Kamala's new polling lead. She's run an "incredibly disciplined" campaign. That's how you praise ignoring the press on "Meet the Press."

Everyone is newly obsessed with North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a black conservative Republican that CNN has apparently found making bizarre comments on a pornographic website. It happens in many election cycles, that they use one scandal-plagued Republican to try and tar and feather the entire GOP.

The National Association of Black Journalists hosted an oh-so-polite sit-down with Kamala Harris, which displayed a dramatic double standard compared to the savaging of Donald Trump at the NABJ convention in July. The NABJ is a liberal interest group, like the NAACP.

The foiled second assassination attempt on Donald Trump wasn't uniformly treated as a serious security problem. We found major networks blaming Trump's hot talk on migrants and pets for his own assassins. They blamed him for not toning rhetoric down -- the flagrantly hostile networks! Curtis Houck explains how Sunday unfolded.

Managing Editor Curtis Houck and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro dove into an absurd Los Angeles Times profile celebrating ABC’s debate co-moderator Linsey Davis for, along with co-moderator David Muir, interjecting for so-called fact-checks of Donald Trump. The paper admitted they did so to avoid the blowback that CNN did after the June 27 debate with Trump and Joe Biden. It even said Davis’s false smear of Trump on abortion was “the showstopper” of the night. Later, the fellas also discussed this week’s zaniness from The View and dove into the latest on CNN’s defamation lawsuit.
