Capitol Hill Riot

After President-elect Donald Trump leaned on dissident Republican U.S House members and strong-armed the reelection of Speaker Mike Johnson, congressional Democrats -- and Republicans -- marveled at Trump’s power and influence. When the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Colorado could not prevent Trump from appearing on that state’s primary, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the…

For people 35 and under, Monday was the first time in their lifetime that a Republican presidential election victory was certified by Congress with zero Democratic objections, but in their 2025 debuts, the late night comedians wanted to claim that Monday’s proceedings showed Republicans how the transfer of power is supposed to be done.

 As ABC’s The View returned from its holiday break today, hosts took to the table to discuss the incidents of January 6th, 2021. Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg expressed their worries of the day being “whitewashed” from history, Hostin going as far as to claim the date as one of the worst in American History.

PBS News Weekend blamed Fox News and “far right” websites for the Capitol Hill riot (or as both PBS and their NPR guests insisted, “insurrection”) on a news segment Sunday evening, the eve of the fourth anniversary of that terrible day in the nation’s capital. NPR's Lauren Hodges spoke of the rioters: “They had an eagerness to see some violence or participate in it.” Which makes it…

CNN went all out for its election certification coverage Monday in marking four years since the Capitol riot, but had the wherewithal to have a conservative on-set (or at least most of the time), including CNN conservative commentator Brad Todd for CNN This Morning and CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta. It was on the latter show that Todd dished it back to Acosta and liberal…

Joe Scarborough leads his comments on the certification today of Trump's victory with a story about a Capitol Hill police officer who committed suicide after J6. But he left out some important details.

The January 6 riot is a dark moment in American history, and as expected, the anti-Trump networks returned to all of the Pelosi-Picked Panel spin. But predictably, the worst Democrat tilt came from CBS reporter Scott MacFarlane, who has long sounded like a Pelosi-Picked Publicist.

MSNBC's The Weekend in meltdown mode over a Trump get-together at Mar-a-Lago for a screening of a documentary about John Eastman's legal tribulations.  Rudy Giuliani and Peter Navarro were also in attendance, along with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. The Weekend panelists called the get-together "sickening," an "abomination," was an in your face "m-fers," claimed Trump doesn't "give a crap" about…

MSNBC often doesn’t resemble a channel offering “news.” It seems to exist for ideological reinforcement. It’s for Democrats who think other Democrats are going soft on Trump now that he’s won an election, including the popular vote. On Thursday’s All In, MSNBC host Chris Hayes was upset with the current Democrat posture, where they're not throwing "threat to democracy" warnings at all…

He held an important position – U.S. Attorney for the  District of Columbia – but Matthew Graves has been nearly invisible in the national media over the last four years as a Biden appointee. They didn’t seriously cover what he's done, and what he's failed to do.

On Thursday, President Biden commuted jail sentences for nearly 1,500 people and granted 39 pardons, marking the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history. So it was a little odd that ABC, CBS, and NBC all ignored Biden's pardons and clemencies -- unless they were trying not to remind people of the scandalous Hunter Biden pardon. Only CBS briefly touched on the DOJ Inspector General…

ABC’s Good Morning America illustrated all anyone needed to know Thursday about what it made of Vice President Kamala Harris’s Wednesday night throwdown with Fox News host Bret Baier by the fact that it spent far less time (three minutes and two seconds) on this than they did browbeating former President Trump (four minutes and 11 seconds) over their preferred topics for this election…

On the heels of ABC, CBS, and NBC singing the praises Thursday night of longtime Northern Virginia resident Liz Cheney (who pretends to reside in Wyoming), the same networks also devoted time on their Friday morning news shows to cheering “staunch conservative” Cheney campaigning with Vice President Kamala Harris, calling it “an astonishing sight” and “a major moment” in the election and…

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings predictably had robust coverage of the vice presidential debate it hosted between Republican Senator JD Vance and Democratic Governor Tim Walz (MN), but it was often colored by the condescending, elitist, and partisan analysis by chief political analyst John Dickerson, who predicted “fuel is out there” in the form of desire for “violence” by Trump supporters…
