ABC News’s stilted coverage throughout the 2024 election has solidified it as the most wildly biased broadcast network of the “big three” (ABC, CBS, and NBC). From 100 days of 100 percent pro-Kamala Harris coverage, to possibly the most stilted debate in modern political history, the network has abandoned even the pretense of objectivity and relegated itself one of the Democratic Party’s most loyal vassals.     For an idea of what ABC thinks qualifies as journalism, look no further than The View. Absurdly billed as a news program, the all-female talk show has become one of the most vitriolic hotbeds of Trump derangement on television. It’s difficult to take this low-information program seriously on any level, but if the bigwigs at ABC insist we treat it as a news show, we’re happy to oblige. Back in January, co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared: “If [Donald Trump’ ever gets in again, we’ll never have any more elections. There will be no more. He will stop and he’s very clear about that. He wants to be a dictator for life.” Later that month, during a rant in which she compared Donald Trump to Hitler, co-host Joy Behar dubbed the former President “one of the most dangerous of my lifetime to ever be in the oval office.” In May, Behar went further, this time comparing all Trump supporters to Nazis: “That hat you keep wearing — that red hat that says ‘Make America Great Again,’ that tells people that you go along with this, so might as well put a swastika on the hat.” Of course, the issues with ABC News go far beyond The View. In a different world, the very notion of a long-time Democratic operative and Clinton bag man becoming the anchor of a major news show would be laughable; but here in this universe, that’s just the reality of George Stephanopoulos. The veteran host of Good Morning America and This Week kicked off a recent edition of the latter show with this anti-Trump attack ad of a monologue: In 1774, John Adams said, “Representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty.” 250 years later, the heart and lungs of liberty are facing what might be the ultimate stress test… The New York jurors have already presented their fellow citizens with a choice: do we want to be represented — to be led for the first time in history — by a convicted felon? That answer will come in November. Then of course there was World News Tonight Sunday anchor Linsey Davis’s question to Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) during the Democratic National Convention: Former President Donald Trump is expected to go campaign in Howell, Michigan tomorrow. Many people are aware that a month ago, in Howell, KKK protesters marched in the streets… I’m curious if you make anything about that connection and him going in particularly to Howell tomorrow. An MRC study published earlier this month found that throughout 100 campaign stories airing between July 2021 and September 6, Vice President Kamala Harris received a mind-blowing 100 percent positive coverage. Trump, meanwhile, was subjected to a more predictable 93 percent negative slant. When people accuse the news media of deliberately inciting violence against Donald Trump, this is what they’re talking about. The former President has already faced two assassination attempts since July, yet networks like ABC show no signs of letting up the gas. At best, they don’t care whether another attempt occurs, and at worst, they’re secretly hoping one does. Of course, if they wanted to redeem themselves, they could try acting like journalists for half a second. They could stop lying to their millions-strong audience that Donald Trump wants to permanently destroy America and usher in a thousand-year reich. But we all know that’s not going to happen. Their job is not to report to the news, it's to help Democrats get elected, and it's a job they do tirelessly.

A peculiar juxtaposition occurred on Monday following the FBI releasing a letter written by the man behind the second assassination attempt of former President Trump. The letter contained a call for people try again since he failed, even offering up a $150,000 bounty to person who completed the job. But while CNN put that part of the letter up on the screen MSNBC refused to share that detail and said they didn’t want to “encourage” someone to be violent. Late in the 12:00 p.m. hour, during CNN’s Inside Politics, senior reporter Katelyn Polantz ended her report on the latest developments in the case by not only mentioning the bounty but had them throw it up on screen: A civilian witness who was given by Routh a box of materials. In that box, a letter from Routh that was opened after Routh was picked up by the cops. Writing: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.” “Boy, is that chilling,” added host Dana Bash.     Contrast that with the way MSNBC’s national law enforcement and intelligence correspondent Tom Winter decided to address that part of the letter a little earlier in the same hour on Andrea Mitchell Reports: There’s a call to action and other things in the letter, which we're not going to share because there so no reason to encourage any sort of potential violence, Andrea, but that's at least the focus on this letter. Winter’s model gets the point of cross that the shooter wanted others to do something violent but didn’t share the part that could entice someone to follow in his footsteps. This presents an interesting debate for journalists. One is giving the public more details about an important and impactful story related to a presidential candidate in an bitter election year, while the other was keeping information close to the chest. The flipside is that giving a dollar amount and a plea for others to try again could spur on another lunatic. Definitely a dilemma. The transcripts are below. Click "expand" to read: CNN’s Inside Politics September 23, 2024 12:41:31 p.m. Eastern (…) KATELYN POLANTZ: A civilian witness who was given by Routh a box of materials. In that box, a letter from Routh that was opened after Routh was picked up by the cops. Writing: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.” That piece of evidence, now, very likely, being discussed in court as prosecutors want to keep him behind bars. DANA BASH: Boy, is that chilling. Thank you so much Katelyn for that report. I appreciate it. (…) MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Report September 23, 2024 12: (…) ANDREA MITCHELL: That's why we're no longer calling it an apparent assassination attempt, cause in his writing, he says it was. TOM WINTER: That's right, Andrea. Of course, all along, nobody thought he brought a long gun, a semi-automatic rifle to the Trump golf course for any other reason other than potential threat to Donald Trump. So, that's at least a little bit more detail now why the FBI was saying what it was saying. And so. they have this additional detail, apparently came up from an individual who received a box of documents, ammunition, and building materials from Routh, a month before this alleged shooting -- before the incident involving the Secret Service took place. And so. he has this box of documents, and after he finds out about Routh’s alleged role that day, he looks through it and finds this letter. And in the letter, according to federal prosecutors, he does reference an assassination attempt on Donald Trump and says he's sorry that he failed. So, it is not clear why he writes this is a failed assassination before he undergoes this potential effort. He hasn't been charged with, but people assume he was there to carry out a violent attack against Donald Trump, just a little over a week ago. So, that remains a little bit of a question involving the timing of all this. There’s a call to action and other things in the letter, which we're not going to share because there so no reason to encourage any sort of potential violence, Andrea, but that's at least the focus on this letter.

California Governor Gavin Newsom suggested that X owner Elon Musk doesn't understand his state's new laws surrounding election-related content restrictions.The new legislation, the Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act of 2024, was signed into law in mid-September.The bill's digest said the law prohibits any person or entity from distributing deceptive audio or visual media about a candidate for elected office within 60 days of the election if it intends to "injure the candidate’s reputation or to deceive a voter into voting for or against the candidate. "The law also requires any "large online platform" to block deceptive content before and after an election.These new rules could require censorship of memes or images containing AI-generated material about a candidate or the upcoming election.'We believe in truth and trust.'Newsom was asked about the law during a recent press conference and alluded to the idea that Musk didn't comprehend the legislation."I think Mr. Musk has missed the punchline," Newsom said in a clip uploaded to X. "Parody is still alive and well in California, but deepfakes and manipulations of elections ... that hurts democracy and the integrity of the system and trust."Governor Newsom went on, "We believe in truth and trust, and I think this law is sound and will be upheld in the courts," A reporter then asked if Newsom intends to "seek legal action" against Musk through the new law."The law asserts that many can seek injunction relief," Newsom replied, largely avoiding a direct answer. He added that he hasn't had a chance to review any specific lawsuits.Musk responded to the video of Newsom by simply stating, "amazing."Actor Randy Quaid also responded by insulting the California politician."My god he is stupid!" Quaid wrote.My god he is stupid!— Randy Quaid (@RandyRRQuaid) September 19, 2024 Newsom was likely referring to a lawsuit against the state from content creator Christopher Kohls, who goes by the name Mr. Reagan. Kohls posted an AI-manipulated parody video about the Kamala Harris campaign in July, which has been viewed over 77 million times.At the time, Newsom chimed in though X account, saying "You can no longer knowingly distribute an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content -- including deepfakes."Kohls' lawsuit argues, however, that California is "flagrantly" using state power to "force private social media companies to censor private citizens’ speech by purging election-related AI-generated content."Under the California law, platforms are required to develop reporting procedures for California residents so that they can flag any content that "has not been blocked or labeled in compliance with the act."Ian Miles Cheong, who posted the video of Newsom's recent press conference, told Blaze News that the governor must think his constituents are inept if they are to accept such laws."The onus is still on [viewers] to check the facts and not believe everything they see on their screens. Newsom is not their nanny and should stop acting like he is," Cheong added.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Imagine a world where a governor controls your every move, choice, right, and liberty. While this may sound like a plot from a George Orwell dystopian novel, it’s happening now under the guise of “public safety.”Recently, the Uniform Law Commission, a powerful organization responsible for several radical proposals over the past century, introduced a new model bill — the Public Health Emergency Authority Act. The commission proposed the legislation in response to what they called the “unpreparedness” of federal and local authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ULC claims the model bill would improve states’ preparedness for public health emergencies by clarifying “the powers of a Governor to declare a public-health emergency and to issue orders in response to that emergency.”The biggest problem with the PHEAA is that it would grant governors unprecedented and unchecked powers without oversight from state legislatures.This model bill would give governors the power to declare public health emergencies within their states without any oversight from the state legislature. So what qualifies as a public health emergency? According to the model bill’s language, it could range from an infectious disease to a chemical spill that might cause “a significant risk of substantial harm” to the state’s population. Clear as mud, right? With such vague guidelines, how do we know if a governor’s emergency declaration is based on a genuine threat or simply an overreaction to the latest Netflix documentary?Even more concerning, the PHEAA would allow governors to declare and implement public health emergencies based on “the little information that is then available,” including the premise of an “unknown disease.”In other words, governors could use minimal information to enact unilateral measures such as business and school closures, surveillance, quarantine, testing, suspension of statutes, or other rules and gain access to electronic security systems through work, school, general notifications, and more.Once a public health emergency is declared, the PHEAA allows governors to renew the emergency declaration as often as they see fit. The bill explicitly states, “There is no limit on the number of times the Governor may renew an initial or previously renewed declaration of a public-health emergency that has not expired.” So if you’re hoping for a break from a “temporary” dictatorship, don’t count on it.The biggest problem with the PHEAA is that it would grant governors unprecedented and unchecked powers without oversight from state legislatures. Additionally, the bill would let governors seize resources and property, restrict individuals’ movement, and cull animal populations, among other plainly authoritarian measures.You may recall the “Sister Revolutions” that took place in America and France during the late 18th century. While the American Revolution was founded on a virtuous desire to secure religious freedom and sovereignty from an unaccountable monarchy, the French Revolution aimed to abolish all past truths in the name of “science” and “reason.”Unlike its American counterpart, the French Revolution eventually devolved into mass violence, hysteria, corruption, and intrigue under the Committee for Public Safety. Empowering governors to become temporary tyrants may provide some Americans with a sense of security, but it tramples upon the God-given rights that all Americans are entitled to under the Constitution.If we surrender our fundamental liberties so easily, what else will we sacrifice to the radical leaders of our time? Ironically, Benjamin Franklin foresaw this, warning, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”The PHEAA may offer a fleeting sense of security, but is it worth sacrificing our essential liberties? Not a chance.

One of the left's biggest weapons against Trump is its weaponization and manipulation of the events of January 6 — which too many Americans have bought into. However, as more evidence comes out, it appears that the left knew exactly what its plans were regarding this day from the very beginning. And Blaze Media’s investigative journalist Steve Baker has just received testimony from a high ranking government official that proves it. “He decided to go on the record with us and reveal to the Blaze that he was on the teleconference call,” Baker explains. “Four-star and three-star generals were on the teleconference call with the National Guard at the same time discussing the deployment of the Guard after the Capitol Police chief’s son was desperately trying to get them to come down and assist.” “And they were ready,” Glenn Beck comments. “They were completely ready, and this is what the Guard commanders were trying to convey. But the Pentagon pukes, the guys who answered directly to Milley, were saying, ‘We’re not so sure about the optics of this,’” Baker explains. “We just assumed it was Pelosi. No, it was passed along from these generals at the source, at the Pentagon, on this teleconference call, which assistant secretary Casey Wardynski was on that call, and he laid it all out to us,” he continues. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump was asking for the National Guard to be there in order to make sure the situation was safe. “His campaign has to get on this,” Baker says.

Statistics released on Monday by the Pennsylvania Department of State showed that a Democratic stronghold had flipped to the Republican column after 52 years. After a concerted effort by Republicans to contact voters and persuade them to register, local officials said 87,415 people in Luzerne County had registered as Republicans while 87,332 had registered as Democrats. 'Our message has been received by the good people of Luzerne County.' Republicans have topped Democrats by only 83 voter registrations. While the gap between Republicans and Democrats is very narrow, the GOP had been able to erase the massive advantage Democrats had garnered by 2011 of 47,669 registrations. “I’m excited and relieved that our message has been received by the good people of Luzerne County,” said Luzerne County Republican Party Chairman Gene Ziemba. Democrats say young voters support their policies but are registering as independent in order to reject party labels. The last time Luzerne County had more Republican registrations than Democratic registrations was in 1972, when Richard Nixon won a landslide victory against George McGovern. By 1976, the numbers had flipped after the Watergate scandal that ended with Nixon resigning. In that election, Luzerne had 101k Democratic registrations and only 64k Republican registrations. Luzerne made headlines recently when officials decided to take down four drop boxes for mail-in ballots over concerns about election integrity and financial liability. Democrats will have until Oct. 21 to try to make up the difference in registrations ahead of the general election to be held on November 5. Like Blaze News?
