During an interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday’s “NBC Nightly News,” host Lester Holt stated that while Israel has produced video of weapons “it says were recovered at the al-Shifa hospital, video of what may be a tunnel” that “doesn’t necessarily point to a Hamas command and control center as Israel and the U.S. have maintained.” Holt asked, “Israel is showing video of weapons it says were recovered at the al-Shifa hospital, video of what may be a tunnel. But it’s clear that the evidence doesn’t necessarily point to a Hamas command and control center as Israel...

Five Republican presidential candidates will debate in Miami tonight.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced Monday evening that five 2024 GOP primary candidates will participate in Wednesday’s third debate in Miami, Florida, according to a press release.Former President Donald Trump is skipping the third debate, as he did the first two, and is instead holding a rally in Florida during the same time frame. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott all met the RNC’s upped debate requirements and will take the stage, according to the press release.“We are looking forward...

Three-quarters of Republican voters say there should be no more debates, contending that the GOP should, instead, coalesce behind former President Donald Trump and “fight Biden’s political indictments,” a McLaughlin & Associates survey found.The survey asked Republican primary voters if they agreed or disagreed with the following statement:Currently Donald Trump is leading in all the Republican primary polls nationally by very big margins of 30, 40 or more points and winning early states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina by big margins. Even more important President Trump leads Joe Biden in the national media polls like ABC/Washington Post, CBS,...

After a second debate widely panned as “disappointing” by conservative viewers and pundits, strategists are questioning whether the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) third presidential primary debate hosted by NBC serves much of a purpose at all. The RNC gave its first two debates to Fox News and Fox Business, the second of which was heavily criticized for not focusing on the issues Republican primary voters care about. Despite that criticism, the RNC gave its third debate on Nov. 8 to NBC, failing to meet earlier promises to prioritize up-and-coming conservative, independent media for coverage. [cut] The RNC’s current chairman of...

Wow. FAKE NEWS busy carrying Kamala Harris' water-playing her "equity" Race Card. TOP STORY on NBC is "black+brown communities" allegedly not getting Enough from FEMA-wildly DIVISIVE and WRONG at this moment.

In the annals of manufactured scandals by TV networks, one of the lamest examples was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ telling high school students at an event of his: “You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything, and we’ve got to stop this COVID theater.” “NBC Nightly News” tried to make this a story for not just one night, but two. It’s lame because it came after everyone took off their masks for the State of the Union address, after the “nonpartisan” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ruled against...

Just posted the letter. Rest at stink.

Most “either/or” questions are designed to make you choose, but sometimes the correct answer is “both.” When dealing with someone like President Joe Biden, it’s not always possible to know the answer to a simple question: is this man stupid, or is he just a liar? There is ample evidence of both, almost always, but the exact tilt of a scale and in which direction it points for the majority is not always clear. As such, you are sometimes left wondering which it is, but there is little doubt it is at least one and usually some combination of both....

As the inflation that the president predicted would be “only temporary” six-months ago reached a 40-year high, NBC anchor Lester Holt was chastized by Biden as “a wise guy” for bringing the issue up in a recent interview. “It’s disrespectful to throw my past words in my face, especially when the statement I made is incontrovertibly true,” Biden insisted. “Look, here’s the deal. Everything is temporary. Nothing goes on forever. The worst case of inflation in world history took place in Germany during the 1920s. That came to an end when their currency became worthless and a new Mark was...

During a portion of an interview with NBC aired on Thursday’s edition of “NBC Nightly News,” President Joe Biden said that host Lester Holt was “being a wise guy” by asking him about his past comments on inflation being temporary and how he defines temporary and that inflation “ought to be able to start to taper off as we go through this year.” Holt said, “I think it was back in July, you said inflation was going to be temporary. I think a lot of Americans are wondering what your definition is temporary is.”

Biden snaps at ‘wise guy’ Lester Holt for noting how president was wrong about inflation President Biden called NBC journalist Lester Holt a “wise guy” Thursday when the veteran TV anchor pointed out that Biden erroneously said high inflation would be temporary and that instead it surged to a new 40-year high. “I think it was back in July, you said inflation was going to be temporary. I think a lot of Americans are wondering what your definition of temporary is,” Holt said during Biden’s first TV interview of 2022. “Well, you’re being a wise guy with me a little...

NBC’s evening news show had the gall to ignore a narrative-shattering statement on inflation by former “transitory” apologist and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell during its evening broadcast last night. Powell stated during a press briefing Dec. 15 that “[O]ne of the two big threats to getting back to maximum employment is actually high inflation.” This is a seismic shift away from the Powell Fed’s repeated false assertions over this year that skyrocketing inflation would only be temporary. The Fed is expected to institute thee rate hikes in 2022, according to Bloomberg News. In response to Powell’s statement, Raymond James...

CNBC released a damning economic survey showing the majority of Americans disapproving of President Joe Biden’s economic performance, and its sister network chose not to cover it. CNBC’s All-America Economic Survey of 800 Americans showed that a 52 percent majority disapprove of “Biden’s handling of the presidency.” Behind the ratings collapse for Biden, is a “surge in negative views of his handling of the economy” with a sizable 54 percent disapproval, a seven-point increase from July. Specifically, according to CNBC Oct. 21, “Americans soured on [Biden’s] economic leadership, lost some confidence in his handling of the coronavirus, and grew increasingly...

With numbers for the Games collapsing, NBC News and Lester Holt focus on divisiveness.As NBC has been anguishing over the failure of the Olympics, the network has been striving on its telecast to come up with any manner of compelling storylines to attract those viewers it was counting on tuning in. The executives might have been wise to keep tabs on other departments, as Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News managed to work against their interests. In a profile of one of the star athletes on his broadcast Holt delivered more of the very anti-social content that has been driving...

We have another demonstration of MSM bias. When on March 30, 2021, NBC News anchor Lester Holt received the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism from Washington State University, he argued "That fairness is overrated." Holt remarked: "The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in... Decisions to not give unsupported arguments equal time are not a dereliction of journalistic responsibility or some kind of agenda. In fact, it's just the opposite, Providing an open platform for misinformation, for anyone to come say whatever they...
