Editor’s Pick: Erickson Nukes Liberal Media as a ‘Echo Chamber’ ‘Poisoning’ the Left

March 6th, 2025 1:12 PM

Writing Thursday morning on his Substack, our friend and Georgia-based conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson took the liberal media and their allies to the woodshed for their behavior during and after President Trump’s Tuesday night address to a joint session of Congress, calling MSNBC “rich, white, neurotic women” and The New York Times a band of “neurotic women and gay men.”

Erickson first noted the refusal of Democrats to stand in applaud for anything, including Trump honoring child brain cancer patient DJ Daniel and making him an honorary Secret Service agent.

Calling this a sign they lack “normalcy or decency,” Erickson pivoted to the media: “On MSNBC, the rich, white, neurotic women who hold the Democratic Party captive let loose.”

Of course, he referenced the ugly hot takes from Rachel Maddow calling Daniel’s presence “disgusting,” Nicolle Wallace hoping Daniel, if he were to achieve a dream of becoming a police officer, doesn’t die by suicide like some did after January 6, 2021, and CBS host Stephen Colbert voicing frustration with Democrats more weren’t like Congressman Al Green (D-TX).

After knocking MSNBC’s Morning Joe analyst Steve Rattner for trumpeting the Biden economy, he noted all of these people though “everything was fine,” “Joe Biden was fine,” and “Kamala Harris was sharp.”

He later declared:

To Democrats, led by their media voices, the problem is the people, not the Democrats. The people are stupid, duped, racists, bigots, Nazis, desirous of whiteness, or otherwise bad....Guided by the voices of MSNBC, a network watched, on average, by just two-tenths of a single percent of the American public, and the neurotic women and gay men of the New York Times, the Democrats are not so much out of touch as they are outside reality. Democrats have built an echo chamber that is poisoning them.
