Media BiASS: NBC, Nothing But Crap….

ABC Continues to Omit Role of Democrats in Release of ‘Graphic’ CIA ‘Torture’ Report   On Monday night, ABC News continued to report on the impending release of a report on the CIA’s post-9/11 interrogation methods as though partisanship had no role when, in fact, Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee are the very reason it was compiled and will be released. Following a morning in which ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’sToday made no mention of the political reasoning, ABC kept the streak going on World News Tonight with David Muir with another report from ABC News chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz.

ABC, NBC Hype ‘Explosive’ ‘Torture’ Report; Omit Its Partisan Origin   On Monday, ABC and NBC’s morning newscasts both touted the upcoming congressional report on the CIA’s post-9/11 interrogation techniques as “explosive” and “damning.” However, neither network pointed out that it was Democratic members on the Senate Intelligence Committee that commissioned the document. By contrast, CBS This Morningreported that “Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee are set to release a controversial report on the CIA.”

Ann Compton on Obama: He Launches ‘Profanity-Laced’ Tirades Against Press   According to retired ABC News journalist Ann Compton, Barack Obama launches into “profanity-laced” tirades against the press in off-the-record meetings with reporters. In a C-SPAN interview, Compton also derided the President for leading “the most opaque” administration of “any I have covered.” The journalist, who retired in August after a 40-year career, revealed to C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb: “I have seen in the last year Barack Obama really angry twice. Both were off the record times. One, profanity-laced where he thought the press was making too much of scandals that he did not think were scandals.”

Chuck Todd Worries About Media Bias…When the Left Complains   On NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, moderator Chuck Todd fretted that after the show he would be inundated with complaints about his news coverage, but not from conservatives: “I’m going to get a ton of emails today, ‘Gosh darn you, Meet the Press, great news on the economy, and you haven’t done anything giving President Obama praise.'” CNBC’s Rick Santelli pushed back on Todd’s assertion that there was “great news on the economy”: “It is great improvement and we’ve come a long way, but remember, let’s not get too happy about six-year cures for two-year flus. We’ve been long out of this recession. A lot of people aren’t cheering.”

Piers Morgan Calls for Ferguson Protesters to Be Time’s ‘Person of the Year’   Appearing on Monday’s NBC Today, ex-CNN host Piers Morgan called on Time magazine to name the Ferguson protesters as the publication’s “Person of the Year” for 2014: “If you ask me what has been the single biggest issue facing Americans right now in this country, it is the whole issue surrounding what happened there….Everyone’s got to come together and say we are simply better than this.” Earlier, co-host Matt Lauer brought up the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, prompting Morgan to proclaim: “I feel very concerned about that whole process, as many people do. Look, you cannot have a situation where you have two unarmed people in America who are basically killed by police officers and the police officers concerned are simply not held to account….these guys haven’t even been cross-examined and I find that an unfathomable thing.”

MSNBC Guest Blames Landrieu Loss on White Racism   On Saturday night, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.) lost her bid for reelection to Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-La.) by nearly 12 points and some liberals decided to blame her defeat on white racists who hate President Obama. Appearing on MSNBC’s The Rundown with Jose Diaz-Balart on Monday morning, Aisha Moodie-Mills of the Center for American Progress insisted that “the reality, and every single poll shows this, is that Democrats have completely lost the south because white people are running away from Barack Obama and this African-American man who is occupying the White House.”
