If it's Sunday, it's Republican

[SocialDemocrat61]

Guests on today’s Sunday shows.

ABC This Week: Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, GOP Rep. Michael McCaul, GOP Senator Tim Scott (2 republicans and 1 democrat, although cabinet Secretaries are non-partisan we’ll count him as a Dem)

CBS Face the Nation: Secretary of State Antony Blinken, GOP Senator Mitch McConnell, Liz Cheney (again 2 Republicans and 1 Democrat)

FOX News Sunday: GOP Senator Mitch McConnell, Dem Rep. Adam Smith, Newt Gingrich (once again 2 republicans and 1 democrat)

NBC Meet the Press: Secretary of State Antony Blinken, GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Mike Pence. (Yet again 2 republicans and 1 democrat)

How do any of these show claim any credibility when their bias is so blatant.

1. Corporate Media, Inc. (R) knows for sure...

who butters their corporate toast.

[dem4decades]

2. I might give CBS a pass, Cheney is a conservative but no Republican.

Republicans are cult members, she escaped.

[Lovie777]

4. She is still a Republican but so far not a maga.............................

[paleotn]

9. Magats are a wing of the Republican Party. The wing calling the shots right now since that's where their base is.

Cheney is, was, and will be a Republican. She's just not a fascist. But I don't feel like giving her a brownie button for that. Those like her are hostages to the monster they've ALL helped create. The place most of the Republican voters are today, i.e., maga land, is the logical conclusion of 40 years of politics based on irrational, populist anger and racism.

Make no mistake, guys like Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt and others may have rebelled from the fascist turn of their party with The Lincoln Project, but they're still Republicans and are responsible for creating this mess. They're like Victor Frankenstein helping to hunt down and kill the monster they created.

[Hotler]

28. I'm not sorting the magats for the others. It took all of them voting for

the orange one to get us here. The only difference is some don't wear red hats and wave flags.

[edisdead]

10. How is she not a republican???

Let me be clear her policies are frightening.

[FHRRK]

23. So are you a baby killer?

Liz has called Dems Baby Killers in 2023!

She is a horrible vile person.

[KS Toronado]

29. She say that while talking about the abortion issue?

[FHRRK]

30. If I recall, it wasn't a direct answer to a question

Rather a canned comment she had prepared for the interview

Her hate for tRump is useful, but she is still a horrible human being

[TxGuitar]

26. I'm sorry but *all* Republicans are Trumpers

In the House, Cheney voted for 100% for Trump initiatives. Any vote for or by any Republucan is a vote for Trump and MAGA.

[Hotler]

27. Some say conservative I say selfish.

Selfishness is one of the cornerstones of the repug party.

[Ferrets are Cool]

35. I must strongly disagree.

[617Blue]

3. I find it weird that McCarthy is still in the middle of this

Normally when a leader is forced out he or she disappears in disgrace.

He's still in the physical Speaker's office, he's in the middle of all the negotiations and drama regarding the new Speaker. It's just weird. Obviously he wants the job back but why are the hardliners (if they hate him so much) tolerating his involvement? I'm convinced he backed Jordan knowing full well he wouldn't get the job.

[Lovie777]

5. 3...2...1....

He will blame the Democrats, Biden needs to be impeached and Hunter's laptop.

[Windicator]

8. You are assuming that a repube like McC is capable of feeling shame

for having betrayed America, the Ten Commandments, and basic human honesty and decency.

Faulty assumption.

[mopinko]

16. either that or

the man just cant count. i cant believe he’s THAT stupid, tho i cd b wrong.

[brooklynite]

6. So when Secretary Buttigieg goes on Fox News, he's "non-partisan"

Good to know.

And, just spitballing here, but, maybe there's a current news story that relates to Republicans?

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. Sorry my priority is supporting the Democratic party

not making excuses for the corporate media.

[brooklynite]

12. My priority is the same...without the need to make up conspiracy theories.

[SocialDemocrat61]

13. Could have fooled me

And not a conspiracy theory.

20. It's so hard to get good conspirators these days.....

[SocialDemocrat61]

22. One example

Yeah, that's convincing 🙄

[redqueen]

7. I thought by now everyone knew corporate media is biased

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 doomed us (I wonder if Bill Clinton regrets not vetoing that bill)

[SouthernDem4ever]

15. Along with a few others

that's all I'll say about that.

[wiggs]

14. I support posting this observation. Needs to be done more. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Relax, Reupblicans are front and center and being given all the rope they need

They are more likely to misspeak simply because there are more of them with more air time today. And they are the ones shutting down the House.

Bonus time: There are so many of them there's bound to be some fundamental conflicts in what they say. Let the media parse the inconsistencies. Then you can hold them to account.

[SocialDemocrat61]

18. That's what some said about all the free media Trump got in 16

How did that work out?

[bucolic_frolic]

19. MSM was asleep, paid, and wowed in 2016.

Say what you want about Trump, he did not campaign on a transparent platform of shutting down the government.

Now in the House that is an overt and recognized policy goal.

There are a lot of deep issues behind the salient political motions. Those must be exposed to the American voting public. Broadbrushing doesn't help that objective.

[SocialDemocrat61]

21. And the corporate media

Giving more time to Republicans without pushing back on their lies doesn't help that objective either.

[kimbutgar]

24. That's why I never watch Sunday political shows it's been for so long if it's Sunday it's repuke talking points

I watch some MSNBC like Psaki, Caphart and Sharpton if I watch political shows.

[Wednesdays]

25. Just take a look at their commercials

And you'll see who's sponsoring all that. Back in the day, it was corporations like EF Hutton, Merrill Lynch, Alcoa, Exxon-Mobil...you know, the folks who were really into helping out the common people. Likely the same today.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. I quit watching the Sunday morning Republican promotion shows years ago.

[Bluepinky]

34. I noticed years ago, back in the 80's, that the Sunday am shows were biased towards Repubs.

Even then, they usually had 1 Dem for every 2 Repubs on most shows. They haven’t changed. And I stopped watching them too.

[Cosmocat]

36. Ditto - late 90s / early 2000s for me

I would be all fired up for the Sunday morning shows as Clinton's term ended and W took over, and it was the same ratio back then, and you would see Tim Russert who was viewed as some honorable fair broker ask the R one semi hard question then back off, then condescendingly drilling the Ds.

Threw in the towel and haven't gone back.

[Hope22]

32. I thought they were all supposed to be at church! N/t

[Grins]

33. The so-called liberal media (SCLM) strikes again!

Why I never watch Sunday’s talking heads. Ed Murrow - please come back!!!
