Campaigns & Elections

There’s an old saying that the media’ are in bed with Democrats, but sometimes that’s quite literally the case. Twitter was ablaze today after People Magazine published last night a “heartwarming” story of love found between a reporter covering the Biden campaign….and the president’s deputy communications director. 

An NBC Morning News Now segment aired the pro-Trump impeachment smears of an MSNBC Legal Analyst without disclosing that she was a donor to President Joe Biden.

Ben Ginsberg, a Republican election lawyer, fierce Trump critic, and CNN legal analyst, has a fantasy: a witness who would testify at the Senate impeachment trial that President Trump told him to storm the Capitol. Ginsberg twice shared his fantasy on CNN's New Day this morning. Asked whether he would call witnesses if he were a Dem impeachment manager, Ginsberg said his dream witness…

Melodramatic and patronizing corporate TV ads are as big a part of the SuperBowl as a Tom Brady appearance, though New Jersey music legend Bruce Springsteen’s obnoxious Jeep ad about the “ReUnited of America” took patronizing to a whole new level. 

On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC Sunday Show, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NYC) argues that President Trump's declining to testify should seen as "incriminating." Asked by Capehart whether President Trump should testify, Jeffries responded: "He should testify and defend himself. But because he has clearly refused to do so, in my view, there should be an adverse impact, an inference drawn that…

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough slammed evangelicals for their focus on abortion. No fewer than four times, Scarborough called evangelicals' concern about abortion "bizarre."  And Scarborough's agitated, and at times screaming, demeanor suggests he still hasn't calmed down since having yesterday "joked" that Liz Cheney might have assassinated fellow Republicans voting to remove her…

Time magazine turned a lot of heads on Friday with a story headlined "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election." The story below it by Molly Ball confirms what that suggests -- Trump lost, so the election (and democracy) were saved. Many on social media flocked to the part about how a coalition of Trump-hating groups didn't "rig" the election, they were "…

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts have now ignored news that makes former President Donald Trump’s economic policies look good even after he’s out of office. 

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough "jokes" that Liz Cheney might have had Republicans voting to remove her from leadership assassinated, as her father did to OBL, saying: "They just didn't have the nerve. I mean, they saw what happened to Osama Bin Laden when you crossed a Cheney. I guess at the end of the day, they just didn't have the nerve to do it."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that "AOC has never actually threatened to kill a Republican." He does so in contrasting her with Marjorie Taylor Greene, who liked a tweet calling for the assassination of Nancy Pelosi, and described strategies leading to the hanging of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. 

In its latest promo, MSNBC touted two years of sycophantic coverage for Joe Biden on the campaign trail and right up through Inauguration Day. The star of the ad was reporter and reliable Biden fanboy Mike Memoli, who was shown lobbing softballs to the Democrat about his “political future,” coffee-drinking habits, and how it felt to win the White House. 

Often on the foreign policy front, there’s not a “good” and “bad” side to a conflict, but two sides you want little to do with. Yet, during Monday’s edition of Evening News, CBS rushed to take a swipe at former President Trump by trying to tie him to the military coup in Myanmar. But in doing so, they defended State Counsellor (prime minister equivalent) Aung San Suu Kyi, an elected…

For her “Roll the tape” segment on her Tuesday afternoon show, CNN Newsroom host Brianna Keilar viciously went after Republican Senator Ted Cruz in an over five-minute-long attack. It seems nothing was out of bounds, as the journalist alluded Cruz had blood on his hands, before mocking his podcast’s production. 

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross broke all the usual rules about how anti-Trump Republicans are used. She invited former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci on her show to expose him, not to exploit him. When he wouldn't accept the idea he had been "radicalized," she suggested the Mooch is an opportunist who would turn again when the next opportunity arises. And the pair trade accusations of "loving the…
