2008 Presidential

The indictment of former President Trump has prompted gleeful cheers among many in the left-wing media, but a similar indictment of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards 12 years ago was jeered at the time as an “overreach” that could wind up being an “embarrassment” for the Justice Department.

While claiming that he wasn't comparing Joe Biden to Neville Chamberlain, Joe Scarborough says that Chamberlain was so "desperate for peace" that he appeased Hitler, leading to WWII. Scarborough suggested that Biden might also be "desperate for peace" in suggesting at his press conference that Putin ordering a "minor incursion" of Ukraine wouldn't merit a full-blown US response. 

Americans can be forgiven for suffering a collective whiplash over the last 13 years in how the liberal media views presidents. They desperately wanted Barack Obama to succeed and Donald Trump to fail. Now, they are attempting to rescue the floundering Joe Biden. Perhaps one of the best examples of working on the behalf of Obama came 13 years ago last month. Then-MSNBC host Chris Matthews came…

On Thursday afternoon, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell reminded viewers that no segment on her show discussing Hillary Clinton would be complete without claims of the former Democratic presidential candidate being a victim of alleged "sexism."

On Tuesday's The 11th Hour show, MSNBC Brian Williams began his last few weeks hosting the show by spreading more misinformation as he accused Republicans of running a "disgusting smear campaign" against veteran and then-Democratic Senator Max Cleland when he ran for reelection in 2002.

Even after years of him being out of office, ABC’s Good Morning America still swoons over Barack Obama. During an interview with the former president aired Friday morning, GMA co-host Michael Strahan fondly recalled how Obama “ran on hope” in 2008 and wondered: “How can people get that hope back?” 

On CNN's "New Day," Abby Phillip, supposedly a "correspondent," described the election of Barack Obama as "progress" for America, whereas the election of Donald Trump was "a couple of steps back," with the "pendulum swinging" in the wrong direction. Phillip followed that bit of blatant liberal punditry by describing the prospective election of Kamala Harris as VP as "a thrilling moment."…

The New York Times Sunday Book Review led off with a lengthy, almost reverent take on Barack Obama’s latest autobiography A Promised Land: “Legacy of Hope,” a review by Nigerian-born novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her obeisant take took up five full pages of the section, devoting a stunning 4,500 words to what is admittedly itself an enormous book.

On Morning Joe, playing off Barack Obama's 60 Minutes interview in which he blamed social media in part for "truth decay," Mika and The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg bemoaned social media's supposedly insufficient censoring of conservatives. Mika Brzezinski and Goldberg fretted that conservatives being left "unchecked" leads to " serious problems."

Before they despised Donald Trump, the liberal media adored Barack Obama. From the moment then-state senator Barack Obama showed up on the national stage to address the Democratic convention in 2004, the news media were in love. When Obama ran for President four years later, news reporters led the cheers. And as President, reporters touted his “prodigious talents,” his “amazing legislative…

Four years ago, Donald Trump’s victory left journalists visibly distressed, as they talked about Hillary Clinton’s defeat as if it were the equivalent of the 9/11 terror attacks and a harbinger of the “decline of the civilization.” But back in 2008, when Barack Obama won the office, there was “communal joy,” and America was now “a more perfect union” after that “man on the moon” moment.

On New Day Saturday, for the second time in the past two years, the weekend edition of the CNN show plugged the film, Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook, which promotes liberal opposition to laws against voter fraud. Even though efforts to combat voter fraud go all the way back several years before Barack Obama was elected President, the show again pushed the view that…

Good Morning America producers probably weren’t expecting THIS when they asked Sarah Palin to comment on Kamala Harris’s run, Thursday morning. After the last female Vice Presidential candidate offered Harris some friendly advice in an Instagram post earlier this week, ABC asked Palin to come on GMA to explain why she did it. However, Palin didn’t waste the opportunity to…

An august group of feminists formed a coalition called “We Have Her Back” to lobby the media for “anti-sexist” coverage of the Democratic VP selection. The media received a list of Don’ts: don’t question her attractiveness, her ambition, her experience, her likeability, her electability, or her qualifications. The feminists of the press betrayed the whole list with Sarah Palin.
