Megyn begins the show discussing the breaking news about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and explosive abuse allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, the media and left’s push to make Emhoff the new face of “masculinity,” and more.
Then, the hosts of The Fifth Column – Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welch – join to discuss how media bias shapes the narratives around critical issues like abortion and the allegations against Emhoff, the way the CBS News moderators subtly inserted bias into so many of their questions and fact checks, the truth about Tim Walz’ abortion policy in Minnesota, the worst moments from Walz’s vice presidential debate performance, his terrible answers on foreign policy, the controversy surrounding his trip to Tiananmen Square, the gaffes and awkwardness that left viewers questioning his readiness for higher office, the ridiculous way CBS inserted climate change into the second question of the debate, how Vance expertly turned the question around on Walz and the moderators, why Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell’s moderation was so terrible, the way they kept trying to “move on” in an annoying way, their focus on appeasing the elites rather than covering topics viewers care about, Trump’s decision to decline an interview with 60 Minutes, what happened to Trump last time he was on the program, CBS Mornings’ challenging interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates regarding his new anti-Israel book, the meltdown from some on the left over it, Coates being portrayed as an expert, his non-nuanced take on the issue, and more.
