Budget

On Sunday evening and Monday morning, the network broadcasts of ABC, NBC, and CBS were in mourning over the “potentially fatal blow” dealt to President Biden’s radical left-wing agenda by West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who announced his opposition to proposed massive social spending legislation. Anchors and correspondents were distraught as they described how the White House was “reeling”…

On Saturday, Hot Air’s Karen Townsend reported on frustrated left-wing Comedy Central host Charlamagne Tha God demanding Vice President Kamala Harris tell him “who the real president of this country is”: “She became so flustered with his line of questioning that she told him to not start talking like a Republican....Charlamagne’s interview with Kamala turned ugly when he asked her a very…

In a political climate where the hard-left nature of the Democratic Party has put them historically far behind Republicans in generic polling, The New York Times insisted that it’s the Republicans that are the radicals. Times congressional beat reporter Carl Hulse issued an insult, common from the Democratic-leaning snobs of the press corps in a story about…

An ill President Biden served as a focus of Friday’s White House press briefing, so it was natural that Fox’s Peter Doocy was in the middle of it in questioning Press Secretary Jen Psaki on that as well as the Build Back Better (BBB) Act and China’s refusal to allow for a complete investigation into the origins of the coronavirus.

On Thursday’s MTP Daily, MSNBC host Chuck Todd tried to blame Washington “dysfunction” solely on Republicans and even suggested the GOP was attempting to “sabotage” Democrats ahead of the 2022 midterms. He later concluded that the “propagandist media...on the right” was to blame for Republican senators standing on principle and opposing government spending legislation.

Remember those “shovel-ready jobs” promised by the Obama-Biden administration in 2011? When many failed to appear after passage of this spending boondoggle, President Obama joked, “Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.” That law, noted Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), cost $787 billion, of which $48 billion was supposed to go for infrastructure. It was disingenuously…

MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid decided on Wednesday to channel NBC chief business correspondent and MSNBC colleague Stephanie Ruhle in dismissing the economic pain Americans are facing amid rising inflation, calling it a “buzzword bandwagon” by Republicans who “want you to believe the economy isn't doing well” when it’s “not bad” and people “are also spending a record amount of…

On Monday evening, MSNBC featured the views of two of its longtime presidential historians to lavish praise on President Joe Biden for getting the infrastructure funding bill passed, with comparisons being made to Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower.

The term “gaslighting” comes from the 1938 British play “Gas Light.” In the play, a woman's husband pushes her to the edge of sanity by insisting their gas lighting is not dimming. In fact, it is dimming. Gaslighting is a manipulation tactic meant to convince people the things they see and know are not actually happening. In the last four years, Democrats railed against then-President Donald…

Following a sudden hiatus due to her bout with Covid, The Psaki Show returned to the small screen on Friday afternoon and, though Fox’s Peter Doocy wasn’t in attendance, there were still plenty of noteworthy moments, highlighted by NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander twice asking Jen Psaki about the proliferation of “Let’s Go Brandon” chants nationwide.

On Wednesday, CNSNews Editor-in-Chief Terence Jeffrey reported something that the leftist media steadfastly ignore – the massive, record-setting amount of tax dollars the federal government rakes in constantly. Jeffrey noted: “The federal government, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement, collected a record $283,927,000,000 in total taxes in October, which was the first month of fiscal…

The annual “trick-or-treat” ritual is over. Not so the “tricks” perpetuated by congressional Democrats about their tax-and-spend ritual, and their phony numbers. Consider the latest spending measure cobbled together by the House Democratic leadership, or more accurately their staffs. It is 2,400 pages long, much longer than the longest book I ever read. I doubt most members have read much if…

On Tuesday night, MSNBC host and former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams again demonstrated that he is so far to the left, that he even hits Democrats from the left if they are not liberal enough, using his 11th Hour "news" show to gratuitously hit Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema over her recent choice of clothing. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin received similar…

On Monday, Lindsay Kornick of FoxNews.com reported on all the ways CNN has complied with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s directive that the liberal media work harder to sell the Democrats’ massive spending plan. Kornick observed: “It appeared on Monday that CNN received Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s, D-Calif., plea to better sell President Biden’s Build Back Better plan loud and clear.”
