As Pelosi Steps Away, The Press Keeps Pampering

The fawning over Pelosi could be Exhibit A in documenting how fervently the elitist media serves the Democratic Party.

Nancy Pelosi may be retiring from Congress, but no one should expect the DNC media to stop treating her as a most glorious political figure. She draws deep bows wherever she goes. She’s always the Best Ever.

On CBS’s “Sunday Morning” in early 2024, substitute host Tracy Smith announced Pelosi “has a new book out, ‘The Art of Power’ — an art which Nancy Pelosi is something of a master.” After Pelosi bizarrely suggested Joe Biden could go on Mount Rushmore, Stahl just had to follow up with flattery: “If there were a Mount Rushmore for Speakers of the House, Nancy Pelosi would certainly be up there, commemorating her 20 years as a commanding leader in Congress.”

In mid-December, USA Today reporter Susan Page put her Pelosi interview on the front page. Page wrote a gushy book in 2022 titled “Madam Speaker,” touting her as a “master legislator, and an indefatigable political warrior.” Pelosi suggested when (not if) Democrats retake the House next year, they shouldn’t impeach Trump a third time. “We won’t be able to get his signature on things, maybe,” she said of Trump, “but we’ll be able to slow down the terror that he is inflicting on the country.”

Trump is a terrorist. That gets no pushback. She calls his administration “corrupt, incoherent, chaotic, cruel” and his political priorities “sick.”

Then on Dec. 29, the gushy narrator was ABC’s Jonathan Karl on “This Week.” He introduced it this way: “History maker … As Nancy Pelosi prepares to leave office, we sit down for an exclusive conversation about her groundbreaking path, her confrontations with Donald Trump, and the challenges ahead for Democrats.”

Karl then insisted, “Whether you agree with her or not, there is no real dispute that Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful woman in the history of American politics. … We caught up with her in Georgetown to take a look at her remarkable career and to discuss her advice to Democrats going forward.”

Again, Pelosi was allowed to say wacky things without pushback. “The Republicans in the Congress have abolished the Congress. They just do what the president insists that they do.” They “abolished” Congress? Where are the “independent fact checkers”? Do we believe that when Pelosi was Speaker under Presidents Obama and Biden, she didn’t do what the president wanted? Or were they simply doing her bidding?

Karl spent most of this interview rehashing Pelosi’s narrative on the Jan. 6 riot. He cited “the remarkable footage her daughter Alexandra captured — featured in the 2022 HBO documentary, ‘Pelosi in the House.’” He noted from that afternoon, “Speaker Pelosi pleads with military leaders to send in the National Guard.”

But what about the days before the riot? In June 2024, the House Republicans posted previously unseen video from Pelosi’s daughter where the Speaker blames herself for the lack of National Guard troops: “Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with? … I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”   Even as Pelosi retires, ABC and the rest can never wonder out loud why the Democrats, from Pelosi to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, failed to protect the Congress with the National Guard, as they were still reeling from the George Floyd riots and the “defund the police” aftermath on the Left.

The fawning over Pelosi could be Exhibit A in documenting how fervently the elitist media serves the Democratic Party, pushing its narratives and painting its leaders in the brightest hues. Pelosi not just expected but demanded strict partisan discipline from the national media, and they have obeyed.
