A recent study suggests that the overall tone of legacy media coverage is so biased that it could be considered election interference.

The Media Research Center evaluated the major network coverage of the 2024 presidential race — specifically Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump — in the weeks since President Joe Biden was effectively forced off the ticket by prominent members of his own party. The results, they said, indicated a dramatic bias in favor of Harris — in terms of both the amount of airtime and tone of coverage.

“It’s all part of the media’s massive brainwashing enterprise in support of Kamala,” Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said.

The bias was apparent first in the amount of airtime given to Harris over Trump between July 21 — the day Biden announced he was leaving the presidential race — to August 17: Harris received 221 minutes of coverage during evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC. Trump received 133 minutes of coverage during that same period of time.

It is important to note the context — namely, that even though the Democratic Party was in upheaval as it changed candidates and then Harris selected her running mate, the timeframe studied also began just after the Republican National Convention and Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) to be his VP, and just over one week after he had been shot at a Pennsylvania rally.

Still, the coverage of the vice presidential candidates bore out a similar pattern. Over the course of 28 days, Vance saw just over 31 minutes of airtime. Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz, Harris’ VP pick, saw just under 32 minutes of airtime, but he got all that coverage in half the time because the clock did not start for him until August 6.

The tone of the coverage showed an even wider gap between the candidates. Evening news coverage included 57 positive comments about Harris and only 11 negative, which translated to a positive spin score of 84%.  Trump, on the other hand, had only 11 positive statements and 86 negative, which gave him a negative spin score of 89%.

Again, the same trend continued with the vice presidential candidates: Walz received a 62% positive spin score, and Vance received a 92% negative spin score.

In addition to all of that, major media outlets have continued to downplay issues that could negatively impact either Harris or the Democratic Party — while negative stories about Trump or Republicans continue to grow legs.

The real question, MRC concluded, would be whether or not the public would see through the “extraordinarily lopsided coverage.”

Anti-Israel protesters interrupted a live interview between late-night host Stephen Colbert and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday night, prompting Colbert to chastise them.

The special episode aired live during day two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where thousands of protestors gathered to demonstrate.   

Pelosi was discussing her new book, “The Art of Power,” when a woman started chanting in the back of the audience, per Deadline. 

Colbert responded by saying, “For the people at home who can’t tell, there’s a protest going on in the audience right now. Hold on young lady, I can hear you. We’re actually at a commercial break but the subject is on Israel and Palestine, and if you’ll have a seat, we have to go to a commercial break and when we come back I will ask the next question I had on that subject, if you will listen.”

The show went to break, and Colbert returned and asked Pelosi about her opinion on “the proper use of American power” in foreign countries. 

“If the goal is the peaceful and prosperous future for both Israel and Palestinians, what role does the United States play?” the late-night host asked.

She began by paraphrasing John F. Kennedy. “‘To the countries of the world, ask not what America can do for you, but what we can do working together for the freedom of mankind’ and that is our mission,” Pelosi replied. 

She continued, “Yes, we’ve had a commitment to Israel, that’s been in our security interest to do so. Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization. We want the hostages freed, but we don’t want children killed in Gaza, so we have to come up with a solution.”

“War has no place in a civilized society… We have to learn more about trust and peace and learning about each other rather than to have a conflict by war,” Pelosi added.

As some audience members kept yelling, Colbert said, “As you can see from the continuing protest out here, that answer is unsatisfying to some people.”

“Israel has a right to defend itself … But the other part of it that has been so major for all of us for so many years is that there must be a two-state solution. We cannot have peace unless there’s a two-state solution,” Pelosi added. “Unless you have a two-state solution, we’ll not have a resolution of this.”

The yelling continued, which prompted Colbert to address the audience, saying, “Please don’t interrupt my guests.”
