Column: Press Briefings and Ego Bruisings
One of the more tiresome partisan polkas we’ve witnessed in the Trump years is the herky-jerky dancing around the White House briefing. First, journalists insist it’s a dangerously undemocratic practice to avoid a daily briefing. Then when suddenly there are daily briefings for a public-health crisis, journalists insist it’s a dangerous practice to air these briefings live because the president…
A Lesson From Coronavirus
If anything good can come from the coronavirus pandemic, it is the revelation of America's overreliance on China, especially when it comes to drugs.

Stelter Bashes Fox for 'Easy' Trump Chat, as CNN Puffs Biden, Pelosi
CNN host Brianna Keilar brought on Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter to thrash Fox News Channel for a no-"pushback" town hall meeting with President Trump early on Tuesday afternoon.

Thirsty to Divide: Nets Mislead in Trying to Split Trump, Task Force
It’s like some of this is fun and games for the press. On Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks used their flagship evening newscasts to erect walls between President Donald Trump and his Coronovirus Task Force, falsely treating the President’s “hope” to reopen the economy by Easter (April 12) as a red line. In other words, it was an attempt to sow dissent and further scare Americans.

DONATION: ‘The View’ Devotes 24 Minutes to Joe Biden Softballs
It’s good to be a Democrat running for president on ABC's The View. The combative, liberal women are prone to interrupt and attack if a Republican presidential candidate comes on.

Boston Globe Jester: 'In Order to Save Dr. Fauci, We Must Destroy Him'
Boston Globe columnist Kevin Cullen energetically inserted his tongue into his cheek for a column titled "In order to save Dr. Fauci, we must destroy him." Get it? He's too credible to last under President Trump, so if the media trashes him as a bum, he won't get fired!

Andrea Mitchell Tosses Softballs to Pelosi, Lets Her Dictate Terms

Ruhle repeatedly compared the Obama…

CBS Allows Seconds on Own Poll Showing Support for Trump on Virus
CBS This Morning on Tuesday mostly ignored the findings of its own poll on the coronavirus and the government’s handling of it.
