ABC and CBS almost completely refuse to identify Trump's elected Democrat prosecutors -- Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fani Willis -- as Democrats, and certainly not Democrats elected on a promise to get Trump. NBC dabbles with the D. For example, elected Democrat Alvin Bragg, the District Attorney of Manhattan, was described as a Democrat in 16 of 59 evening-news stories on NBC programs. But CBS never did in 48 Bragg stories. On ABC, there were 56 stories, but viewers only once heard that...

Last week, Justice Juan Merchan pulled off an impressive feat in the New York Supreme Court’s criminal division: He finished empaneling 18 jurors in the first-ever criminal trial of a former president. This was not easy. Donald Trump’s first criminal trial—of the four he faces in the coming months—concerns 34 counts of falsifying business records, […]
The media is obsessed with Donald Trump’s Manhattan trial to such a degree that even Jon Stewart can’t help but mock them. On Monday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Stewart ridiculed the media for their priorities, with MSNBC and CNN’s Jake Tapper bearing extra scrutiny. Of course, it is not the first time the media has obsessed over something Trump-related, as Stewart recalled, “This trial will obviously be a test of the fairness of the American legal system. But it's also a...

You may not have heard of jury consultant Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard of one of her many clients, including O.J. Simpson and Scott Peterson and Kyle Rittenhouse. She worked alongside the criminal defense teams as Simpson and Peterson, respectively, stood trial on charges of murdering his ex-wife and his wife and with Rittenhouse’s team as he stood trial on charges that he wrongly killed two men at a protest that followed the police killing of a suspect.

Jon Stewart has taken aim at the media for their obsessive coverage of Trump's trial on "The Daily Show".
Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial in NYC could face an unfair playing field based on the jury -- but in terms of who it benefits, it's a crapshoot so says Dr. Phil. The TV personality spoke to "TMZ Live" Friday about the 12 jurors who'll…
It was the first day of Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, and while we don’t have much to say about the allegedly sleepy, flatulent-laden proceedings, Jon Stewart sure did. Appearing on tonight’s Daily Show, Stewart took out his red pen and gave the media a big, fat “F” for its first day of coverage.
