Following day one of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings, the liberal bias and hero worship were nauseatingly abundant on Tuesday morning as ABC, CBS, and NBC swooned over “what a moment”For America, it was. “history on the horizon”For the first Black woman to be nominated. While she was nominated for the first Black woman nomination, it is important to note that she wasn’t labeled as a liberal or progressive. That was what the case looked likeThis will be Monday morning.
ABC’s Good Morning America They must have wanted future Jackson or White House interviews and the affection they lavished on their friends. Amy Robach teased her cohost with a tease about: “[h]istory on the horizon”With “Jackson preparing for a marathon day of questions,”But also worried about that “Republicans are planning to attack her record.”
T.J. Holmes, co-host, boasted about his host: “We now turn to history. Senate confirmation hearings…now underway, Judge Jackson will face…question[s] after delivering a very personal opening statement yesterday.”
Scott — who She felt embarrassed in trying to question Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) — swooning over “history made in this room” And “on Capitol Hill”As “[t]The moment’s weight [sunk] in” Jackson is an emotionally charged character
Scott laid it on thick with personal details (click “expand”):
SCOTT: Jackson introduces herself as the child of schoolteachers to the country. Her father was an attorney who influenced her love for law.
JACKSON: I owe my father a lot for my love of the law. The first time I can remember my father learning is when I was young. While he was reading his law books, I was sitting across him and coloring my books.
SCOTT: Lie down behind Judge Jackson and her daughters, along with her husband Patrick Jackson. Patrick Jackson is a surgeon who specializes in cancer treatment.
JACKSON: Without him, I am certain that none of it would be possible.
SCOTT: She would become the second mother working on the court if she is confirmed.
JACKSON: It has been hard, girls. I have tried to balance my motherhood with my job and career. I am honest about that. It is possible with determination and love.
Scott also ran soundbites about students at the Southern University Law Center, which was similar to CBS. “to show their support and witness history.”
Scott concluded by noting “Republicans already previewing their attacks calling her soft on crime,” but then dismissed those questions because “Democrats do not need any Republican support to confirm” her.
Holmes, who was about to move on to Robach as weekend co-host Whit John to express his admiration, turned to Robach. “And, guys, no matter how it works out, this is something we have never seen in the history of the country. An African-American woman attends the confirmation hearings for SCOTUS at the senate. So, something to see.”
CBS Mornings wasn’t any better. Gayle King, Democratic Party donor and co-host of the show, insisted Jackson be included. “vowed to defend the Constitution and remain independent” And he asked Nikole Killion, a congressional correspondent: “[H]ow tough do you think it could get for the judge today?”
Killion stated “both parties say they want this to be respectful” and “Jackson’s team says she’s ready” to rebut Republican attempts “to drill down on her record.”
“I also spoke to her parents who told me they thought yesterday went well and was one of the most proudest moments of their lives,”She added.
Killion, like her coworkers, described Jackson as neutral and said she was not partisan. “acknowledg[ed]Her family confirms[ed] her commitment to the law.”
At the start of the 8:00 a.m. Eastern hour, King wanted to send out one final valentine to Jackson (click “expand”):
KING: Let’s talk about Judge Ketanji Jackson. Imagine how it must feel to have had the opportunity to witness her mother’s actions from her seat, with her parents watching.
DOKOUPIL: Yeah.
BURLESON: That’s right.
The feeling of being king for them both.
BURLESON, There was lots of emotion in this room. You could her husband tapping his foot —
KING: I did see that.
DOKOUPIL: — constantly and, at one point, she went for a tissue. I don’t know if she was on the verge of tears, but a lot of people in the room were.
KING: That was quite an experience.
BURLESON, It was quite a while.
KING: That’s so true.
BURLESON – What an amazing moment.
Going to NBC’s TodayAlthough they were pro-Biden, they also tried to get us to bed, much like his basement campaign. Chief Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake said Tuesday would be “the most pivotal day of her confirmation hearings where senators get up to 30 minutes each to put her record and life under the spotlight.”
He also made sure that he included a reference to her family. “Backed by beaming family, including her daughter and teary-eyed husband, Jackson thanking her parents for encouraging her on this historic course.”
Do you remember when the negative impact of family on a Supreme Court nominee was felt? We do! We do! Here, Here, HerePlease see the following: HereThese are just a handful of examples.
And prior to a soundbite of Haake speaking to Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Haake summed up how Democrats felt about her (as Republicans “preview[ed] lines of questioning and attack”): “Democratic senators noting magnitude of the moment confident in her ability to present her own best defense.”
Tuesday morning’s pathetic White House propaganda was made possible thanks to the endorsement of advertisers such as Charles Schwab (on NBC), Claritin (on ABC), and Nature’s Bounty (on CBS). Follow the links to see their contact information at the MRC’s Conservatives Fight Back page.
