Budget

NBC’s Sunday Today show dutifully offered nearly five minutes of pure Biden administration propaganda in an effort to sell the President’s massive infrastructure spending plan, hailing the proposal as an effort to “rebuild America” and comparing it to the New Deal. Republican objections of it being “too expensive” were quickly brushed aside as predictions were made that Democrats…

A Democratic Congress and a Democratic President just combined to pass a massive $1.9 trillion spending bill sold as a solution to the economic woes caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to a compliant media, they had an easy job of it: Instead of scrutinizing the bill’s spending choices, the broadcast networks built their coverage around its most popular provision as well as sympathetic…

During an interview with Republican Indiana Senator Mike Braun on her 10:00 a.m. ET hour show on Friday, MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson actually interrupted the exchange to play a clip of Democratic Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy spewing left-wing propaganda in defense of the wasteful, pork-laden COVID relief bill being pushed by the Biden administration. Jackson spent the rest of the segment…

On Tuesday and Wednesday evening, MSNBC’s Joy Reid took to the airwaves to perform her typical race-baiting and ad hominem attacks on those who disagree with her. Displeased by Neera Tanden’s decision to withdraw from consideration for the director of the Office of Management and Budget as her nomination stalled, The ReidOut host fervently denounced Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and…

On Monday evening, MSNBC’s Joy Reid devoted a significant amount of time on her show The ReidOut to bash Republicans for their reluctance to increase both the national debt and the federal minimum wage. She also spun Democrats as too wimpy in committing to ending the filibuster. Reid invited one of the most progressive members of the House of Representatives, Pramila Jayapal (D-WA),…

Appearing on Friday’s Morning Joe, former Obama administration Treasury Department official Steve Rattner proved that the COVID relief bill being pushed by Democrats was a massive boondoggle that could cause inflation and waste huge sums of taxpayer dollars. That revelation came after co-host Joe Scarborough earlier denounced Republicans as “extremists” for opposing the unnecessary…

The problem with free money is that it leads to an addiction much like an addition to drugs. In the case of the $1.9 trillion "relief" bill that has no Republican support, Congress is the supplier, while those on the receiving end become increasingly addicted to government and less self-reliant.

It turns out that it is not just Republicans who think the $1.9 trillion price tag on President Biden's COVID relief package is too high, but also former director of the National Economic Council under Obama and Clinton Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers. 

People hate America's big disparities in wealth. It's a reason why, among young people, socialism is as popular as capitalism. The Democratic Socialists of America want a country based on "freedom, equality and solidarity." That sure sounds good. But does socialism bring that? My new video debunks several myths about socialism. One reason for socialism's continued appeal is linguist Noam…

On Monday night, Joy Reid, host of MSNBC’s The ReidOut fully acknowledged her "petty" hackery. Reid implored that Democrats abandon their post-Trump calls for unification and bipartisanship. She also insisted that her guest, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), forgo any further attempts at garnering Republican support for the Biden administration’s proposed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief…

During the Trump years, journalists told us that Democracy dies in darkness and that only an alert, adversarial press could save the country. Now? Everything’s fine and we should just trust the government. That’s the gist of what CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King pushed on Tuesday. Talking to Republican Senator Bill Cassidy about the COVID relief bill, she suggested that Joe Biden…

Despite the fact that President Trump put out a video shortly before Christmas detailing the billions of dollars in wasteful spending going to foreign countries in the COVID relief bill, not to mention the disgust of many Americans at how they only got $600 after being unemployed for nine months, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Sunday Today claimed they couldn’t figure…

Friday’s lead New York Times story on the debate over the coronavirus stimulus package was told wholly from the liberal Democratic perspective, while pitying president-elect Joe Biden: “Hurdle For Biden As Stimulus Bill Drops State Aid – Setback For Recovery – Congress Rushes for Deal on Virus Relief After Months of Feuds.” There is no surprise which side the paper’s lead story takes…

New York Times blowhard economist Paul Krugman is trying to cope with not getting the “blue wave” referendum on Trumpism he wanted out of the 2020 election. Now, Krugman has said that a potential GOP senate majority will be — wait for it — “bad for business.”
