On Sunday, CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan presented new Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent with a CBS News poll that they used to insist Americans already think President Trump is failing them on the economy. Bessent was sworn in on January 28. When Bessent challenged the pro-Biden/Harris media spin, Brennan got defensive and ended up a little embarrassed. 

Appearing as a guest on Friday's CNN This Morning, CNN weekend anchor Michael Smerconish lamented the Donald Trump administration's ban on transgenders in the military, calling it "disgraceful."

After Michael Steele, co-host of MSNBC's The Weekend, accuses President Trump of a planned "ambushing" of Zelensky, MSNBC contributor and Never Trumper Charlie Sykes claims that under Trump, the United States is no longer the leader of the free world, and to the contrary, in many cases "might be an adversary."

On Sunday's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos brought on Associated Press Executive Editor Julie Pace to discuss Ukraine, and  the AP being kept out of the White House press pool because they're #Resistance media. They picked the weird battle of refusing to write "Gulf of America" because they hate President Trump that much. Pace lied: "We're a global, independent, non-partisan…

White House correspondent Peter Baker indulged his paranoia in a story in Friday’s New York Times: “In Trump’s Washington, a Moscow-Like Chill Takes Hold -- A new administration’s efforts to pressure the news media, punish political opponents and tame the nation’s tycoons evoke the early days of President Vladimir V. Putin’s reign in Russia.” The odious Russia comparison is not just a…

NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith joined the conga line of journalists protesting President Trump for taking the press-pool and press-credential powers away from the White House Correspondents Association. As a former WHCA president, Keith tweeted: “An independent press makes our leaders more accountable and our nation stronger.” Keith is not independent. NPR and PBS both rely on her…

On Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360, CNN gave liberal Senator Angus King (I-ME) a forum to accuse President Donald Trump of abusing his constitutional power with his actions since taking office. And on Thursday morning, MSNBC's Morning Joe followed suit with their own interview with him entirely devoted to this topic.

On Wednesday’s PBS News Hour, co-host Amna Nawaz tried emotional blackmail to stop spending cuts – any kind of spending cut – in an interview with Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) chairman of the House Budget Committee. After challenging Arrington on Medicaid spending in the just-passed House GOP budget framework (“….Is it possible for you to guarantee that none of the 70 million people…

On Thursday's Morning Joe, former Congressman and embittered ex-Republican Joe Scarborough again sounded like he's never been a conservative as he railed against the possibility of Republicans cutting Medicaid and recalled lecturing his Republican colleagues when he was in Congress.

Amazing. One can easily imagine that the headline writers at the conservative leaning New York Post were laughing as they wrote the following headline about the lefty Washington Post. The headline: 

CBS Saturday Morning was not happy at Iowa for daring to pass a law that insists that an individual’s sex is immutable. Additionally, the Hawkeye State’s decision was said to be a “civil rights reversal” as it removed “civil rights protections for transgender people.”

Zachary Levi hasn’t been canceled by Hollywood for supporting President Donald Trump. Not yet, at least. The star keeps saying he has new projects that should keep him busy. He’s one of the lucky ones.

If CNN’s Fareed Zakaria is the proverbial blind squirrel, then “terribly run” Democratic cities are his nut. On the Overtime segment of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Zakaria confronted former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s attempt to dodge Maher’s question of why the current mayor has an approval rating of 6.6 percent.

The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour was not interested in subtlety, nuance, or level-headedness as they discussed recent media news. Host Amna Nawaz wondered if “we’re in much more sinister territory now” due to the changes surrounding the White House press pool. Both Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks agreed,…
