Establishment media outlets CNN and ABC News are reportedly interested in hosting independent Republican primary presidential debates in the coming months. Some GOP candidates previously voiced support for additional debates, though it is unknown if they would participate in establishment network events. GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy slammed the Republican National Committee (RNC) for allowing NBC News the privilege to host the November 8 debate. The networks could independently schedule the debates in coming months, Politico reported Monday:

Regardless of your faith and beliefs, everyone loves a light show, especially at Christmas. Not so long ago, it was considered acceptable to hang a single strand of lights on your rooftop. Now, families and even entire neighborhoods compete against one another with the choreographed chaos of hundreds of thousands of twinkling LED lights, animatronic lawn ornaments, and the oft-underappreciated inflatable Santas, snowmen and reindeer.

No...I'm not sorry. And no, I dont want to date her. But I think she and AOC may make a cute couple.

A former investigative journalist with ABC News and father-of-two girls has been sentenced to six years in jail after he was found guilty of possessing child porn. James Gordon Meek, 53, was sentenced to 72 months in prison after he was caught sending and receiving sexually explicit content involving prepubescent minors while visiting South Carolina in 2020. Federal prosecutors had initially pushed for the disgraced journalist to receive between 12 and a half and 15 years. Meek joined ABC News' Washington bureau as an investigative producer in 2013 and was based in Virginia returned to Virginia with an iPhone containing...

A Washington Post poll shows former President Trump beating His Fraudulency Joe Biden by ten points, and that has given left-wing propagandist Larry Sabato a serious case of the sadz. Sabato, an unhinged Trump hater, also got a case of the madz that was so acute he became a danger to democracy by questioning the oh-so-precious corporate media. Let’s not forget that questioning the media puts us all at risk. That didn’t stop the disgraced Sabato, who said the Washington Post should’ve risked democracy itself by not publishing the poll. Yes, Sabato is such a fascist he admits that if...

After working with him in the Clinton White House, if there is one Democrat I know inside out, it is my former colleague George Stephanopoulos. The recent ABC/Washington Post poll showing Trump 9 points ahead of Biden bears all of his fingerprints. After years of seeing polls deliberately skewed against Trump to discourage people from backing or donating to him, we new have the spectacle of a poll biased for Trump, likely designed to force Biden out of the race. Democrats had hoped that the Trump indictments would hobble the GOP front-runner. But, instead, they have energized his base, essentially...

So much of the focus nowadays is on Joe Biden's mental impairment and shaky memory. But perhaps Joe Scarborough should have his own noggin checked out. Because he seemed to have suffered a stunning memory lapse on today's Morning Joe. Scarborough spent the first segment whistling past the graveyard of the disastrous Washington Post/ABC News poll showing Biden losing by nine points to Trump, and then went on to trash the "fools" who thought they were "truth tellers" suggesting doom for Biden in 2020 and 2022. Scarborough somehow forgot that among those people writing off Biden was . . ....

A Washington Post-ABC News poll has found that President Biden is struggling to gain approval from the American public. Dissatisfaction is growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, and there are concerns about his age as he seeks a second term. The poll also suggests that Biden and former President Donald Trump could face a rematch in the 2024 election, although more than three in five Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they would prefer a nominee other than Biden.Biden’s advisers argue that he is the strongest Democrat for 2024, as there is no consensus among those who wish...

RENO, Nev. -- Former President Donald Trump 's campaign committed to running in Nevada’s caucus as the state party approved rules that rival campaigns say tilt the state’s nominating process in his favor. The provisions would bar any candidate from the Feb. 8 caucus if they participate in the state-run primary two days earlier. They would also restrict super PACs, like the one Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is relying on, from trying to bolster support for candidates in a caucus. For months, the Nevada Republican Party has insisted on holding a caucus despite a state law passed in 2021 requiring...

President Joe Biden is struggling to connect with Americans across a variety of critical issues as former President Donald Trump enjoys a commanding 10-point lead over his anticipated rival for the White House in 2024, polling released Sunday shows. A Washington Post-ABC News poll reveals Democrat Biden lacking engagement with a skeptical public, with dissatisfaction growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, a rising share saying the U.S. is doing too much to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia and broad concerns about his age as he seeks a second term.

ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz said Sunday on “This Week” that a new ABC/Washington News poll showing President Joe Biden trailing former President Donald Trump by 10 points was a “tough one to spin.” Raddatz said, “Whatever caveats, whether that is an outlier, that’s a tough one to spin.” Former DNC chair Donna Brazile said, “It’s a tough one to spin, Martha. But I don’t believe Democrats should be sitting in a panic room.”

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...

Disney insisted it's not selling ABC "at this time" last week amid ongoing speculation, but the company admitted it's open to "a variety of strategic options" for the network and a sale could have major ramifications for ABC News. Disney's statement followed Bloomberg report from Thursday that found the media giant "held exploratory talks" with TV station operator Nexstar Media about possibly selling off ABC. Media mogul and standup comic Byron Allen also made a massive offer bid to buy ABC, Allen Media Group confirmed to FOX News Digital. Once news of a potential sale began to make headlines, ABC...

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...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) opened up about his first six months in Congress and did not hold back about how the institution functions. “There’s a fixation on a lot of dumb s—. Bad performance art is really what it gets down to,” Fetterman said in an interview with The New York Times. The freshman senator said everything in Washington is turning into a “culture war,” adding that not everything “has to be a think piece.” Specifically pointing to the debt ceiling, he claimed here shouldn’t have been drama. “The fact that we’re playing with something like that is antithetical to...

Disgraced former ABC News reporter James Gordon Meek is facing at least five years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography in a Virginia federal court Friday. Meek, 53, admitted to transporting and possessing child sexual abuse material, which carries jail time ranging from 5-20 years. Under federal sentencing guidelines that come with his guilty plea, Meek is likely to face far less than the max at his Sept. 29 sentencing. Meek, a once-acclaimed national security journalist, was hit with the federal charges in February roughly 10 months after the FBI raided his Arlington, Va., home April 27, 2022,...

An ABC News reporter who bragged about ‘debunking’ evidence of an elite pedophile ring had pleaded guilty to a sickening array of child sex crimes, according to reports. James Gordon Meek, 53, who served as a national security journalist at ABC, is scheduled to appear in a Virginia federal court on Friday following his January 2023 indictment on child rape charges. He faces up to 20 years behind bars. The disturbing crimes were exposed after the FBI conducted a raid on the journalist’s Arlington home in April 2022. FBI officials were alerted by Dropbox in March 2021 of ‘sickening child...

Disgraced former ABC investigative journalist James Gordon Meek is reportedly set to plead guilty to federal child pornography offenses, which could have put him behind bars for decades. Meek, 53, is expected to change his plea to guilty during an appearance in a federal courtroom in Virginia on Friday. The move to change his plea comes after his attorney filed a motion in June to delay his July trial, The Daily Beast reported. The filing argued a delay would allow Meek's team and prosecutors to 'engage in discussions regarding the possible resolution of the case.' A plea deal could allow...
