Capitol Hill Riot

It's one thing to hear our friend Curtis Houck refer to MSNBC’s Deadline White House as “Rich Liberal Wine Mom Story Hour”, but hoo boy, it’s entirely another to actually sit through an episode of this dreck. Beyond dreck, today's episode featured extremely dangerous rhetoric. 

On CBS Sunday Morning, correspondent John Dickerson sat down with former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who has a book to promote. But they also have a shared interest in pushing the idea of Republicans as authoritarians. Predictably, the interview was pillow-soft.

The New York Times reported Democrats are "quietly pining" for live coverage of Trump rallies...because they think voters have gone soft on their loathing of Trump, so they need more Trump in their face! They want Trump "plastered all over the news." It's like a rerun of 2015-16. Did they learn nothing? 

An interesting exchange at the end of Kristen Welker’s interview with House Intel Chair Mile Turner shows how critical it is to the January 6th narrative that the Capitol security video not be released. But it was, and Welker quickly tried to pivot when Turner responded to accusations of the GOP cherry picking video to release.

Last year, Macho Joe Scarborough fantasized about beating up a Capitol tourist taking photos somewhere Joe didn't like, saying he would make the tourist "eat" the camera. But on Morning Joe, Scarborough is shocked, stunned, and appalled by tough talk between UAW President Sean O'Brien and Oklahoma Sen. Mullin.

Following a collective meltdown the night prior, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their Thursday morning news shows to keep up pressure and impress upon viewers that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) isn’t someone to be trusted given he’s “not...bipartisan” and is not only “right-wing,” but possesses “one of the most conservative records” in a part where “election denialism is…

House Republicans were finally able to elect a new House speaker on Wednesday afternoon, selecting Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) to fill a 22-day vacancy. Not surprisingly, Johnson was met with a torrent of disgust and scorn on the Wednesday night network newscasts with ABC, CBS, NBC blasting Johnson as a “hardline,” “hard-right,” “ultra-conservative” who’s “staunchly anti-abortion” and “…

The rash of current plea deals of former Trump lawyers and advisers to Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis is causing the usual excitement -- and the usual premature glee -- on MSNBC's Morning Joe that the "walls are closing in" on Donald Trump and his post-election tactics.

On her MSNBC show, at a time when Hamas is holding more than 200 people hostage, Katie Phang accuses Republicans of holding Americans hostage.

The Washington Post gushed over Trump's January 6 judge Tanya Chutkan, and we can guess it's in part because she's "developed a reputation for being more punitive than her peers" on January 6 defendants.

Morning Joe gloats over Rudy Giuliani's legal and financial travails. 

On Morning Joe, after Susan Glasser of The New Yorker says that "because of Trump,"we're hurdling toward an unprecedented crisis." Joe Scarborough says of respect of the FBI having shot to death a gun-wielding man who had made explicit assassination threats; "because of Donald Trump, you know, you could make the argument, he's dead. You can make the argument that he is dead because of Donald…

Fox News Digital reported Tuesday that the hyper partisan Pelosi-picked January 6 committee failed to “preserve documents, data and video depositions” related to their investigation into the riots at the U.S. Capitol. The leftist media and especially the major networks have no interest in this story since they were big cheerleaders for the January 6 committee. 

Possibly out for redemption in the eyes of her fellow liberal journalists after her infamous October 2022 interview with now-Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), NBC correspondent Dasha Burns interrupted, lied, and smeared her way through the first portion of her sit-down with 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis on Monday’s Today.
