Networks Are Selling a “Blue Tsunami” to Keep Gop Voters Home

Oct 30, 2026

Curtis Houck says ABC, CBS and NBC have sharply ramped up midterm coverage — with ABC alone accounting for nearly 24 of 57 minutes analyzed. “Anytime the president goes to a red state, the media use that to say there is a blue tsunami.” He says the message is designed to make Republican voters feel the outcome is already decided. “You might as well not vote. Basically, that’s kind of their message.” He also blasted ABC’s coverage of Trump and MAGA voters: “They hate the MAGA movement. They hate MAGA voters.”
