President Joe Biden managed to clear the lowest of low bars this week by not joining in with the radical left’s attempts to defend or add “context” to Hamas’s savage attack on Israel, but still, this led New York Times columnist David Brooks to hail the idea that “this was one of Joe Biden's best weeks as president” on Friday’s PBS NewsHour.

Is there anything stranger than crusading leftists on CNN and MSNBC blaming Fox News for dividing Americans?

On MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart show, they wildly speculated about a Rolling Stone report with anonymous sources alleging Trump wondered about whether he'd get a "Club Fed" prison or a "bad" prison.

For PBS NewsHour’s regular weekly recap on Friday with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, the news that the national debt surpassed $33 trillion was deemed so unimportant that it was not mentioned.

The following are some of the most recent and heinous examples of the media accusing Republicans and conservatives of stoking racial hatred.  

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett on Friday for their regularly scheduled recap of the week’s top stories.

New York Times columnist David Brooks is supposed to be the conservative half of PBS NewsHour’s Brooks and Capehart weekly roundup, but often fails to deliver.

Not only did Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart tell the Friday edition of PBS NewsHour that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has nobody to blame, but himself for being booed in the aftermath of the Jacksonville shooting, but that DeSantis’s policies sent a signal to those who believe “Black people are inferior and therefore are worthy of extermination.”

On his MSNBC show on Saturday, Capehart wondered out loud how Donald Trump could be leading by 24 points among Iowa Republicans. After all, the show had just rolled clips of three people at the Iowa state fair saying they want to move on to someone else!
