NBC's Engel Blasts Biden: 100 Times Worse than Saigon

August 17th, 2021 12:20 PM

In all my many years of blogging MSM outbursts against Republican presidents, I've never seen anyone angrier Richard Engel about Biden's Afghanistan fiasco. Well, there was Keith Olbermann. But for present purposes, let's leave aside the clinically disturbed. In a piece with which Morning Joe opened today's show, Engel absolutely unleashed on the Biden administration. Rolling heartbreaking…

Nets SLAM Biden as Failed Leader, Passed ‘Blame’ for Afghan ‘Disaster’

August 16th, 2021 8:17 PM

The major broadcast networks continued their welcome stance on Monday afternoon of holding President Biden accountable for the embarrassing collapse of Afghanistan and the peril Afghans and Americans have found themselves in. After Biden’s speech, ABC, CBS, and NBC lambasted it for having “missed the moment” in failing to “accept responsibility” for this “catastrophe” he’s caused and explain…

MSNBC Hack on Afghanistan: Biden Couldn't Foresee, 'Boxed In' By Trump

August 16th, 2021 11:30 AM

Today's Morning Joe offered the spectacle of a stunning contrast between two Democrats, one principled, the other totally cynical, on the issue of Biden's Afghanistan fiasco. On the one hand, Mika Brzezinski. As anti-Trump as ever, but passionately blaming Biden for "leaving to die" Afghans who had helped America. Mika also said that as much as Trump can be blamed, ultimately, "Joe Biden made…

NBC's Engel on Afghan Collapse: 'I’m Not Shocked At All'

August 15th, 2021 11:44 AM

CNN Raps Biden Afghanistan Pullout: 'Unraveling, Abandonment'

July 6th, 2021 10:50 PM

CNN has been a slavish supporter of all things Biden—with one glaring exception. The network has been critical of Biden's precipitous withdrawal of all US combat troops from Afghanistan.  As early as April, when Biden first announced his intentions, we noted a very critical CNN segment on the subject. That downbeat drumbeat continued today. Co-host John Berman opened New Day by solemnly…

June 30th, 2021 5:05 PM

Former two-time Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld died on Wednesday at the age of 88. Given his role in the Iraq War, both in its conception and in how it was fought, it was inevitable that media reaction would be at least somewhat critical. On his MSNBC show, Ayman Mohyeldin, however, went much further, blaming him and the U.S. for the misery that exists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Desperate AP: Deny Trump Credit for Early Call on Wuhan Lab!

May 27th, 2021 3:13 PM

For an Associated Press "reporter" who moonlights as an MSNBC "analyst," Jonathan Lemire is turning out to be as rabidly anti-Republican as anyone in the liberal media. Last week, we caught Lemire, in regard to a possible January 6th commission, accusing Mitch McConnell of "yet another cynical political play." Today, Lemire's goal was to deprive President Trump of credit for his early call in…
