Capitol Hill Riot

Writing Thursday morning at National Review, Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) fellow Nate Hochman penned a scathing examination of CNN political commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin, chronicling her rise from a well-known political family to the upper echelons of conservative political communications to liberal media darling and from Trump supporter to skeptic to card-carrying member of The…

It’s old news that the media has tried to use the January 6 hearings to tar the entire Republican Party as fascist insurrectionists. What is new is CNN airing a segment on Tuesday evening’s Erin Burnett OutFront trying to link the riot to a broader worldwide “attack on democracy” by authoritarians of all stripes. Their evidence? Conservative Hungarian PM Viktor Orban being invited to…

On Wednesday, MSNBC star Joe Scarborough went on a rant against law enforcement--the DC Police Department, the National Guard, and the FBI--for its failure to respond promptly to the Capitol Hill riot. Scarborough claimed that if the protesters were black, cops would have immediately been out there, and that if they were Muslim, would have all been "gunned down." 

New York Times reporter Luke Broadwater celebrated radical liberal Congressman and January 6 Committee member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) on Monday as a hero battling a dangerous right-wing movement, while also trying to gin up a disinterested public's interest in the committee's hearings with “Raskin Faces Major Moment in 5-Year Crusade Against Extremism.” The online headline made the story’…

Twitter claims in its “About” section to be “an open service that’s home to a world of diverse people, perspectives, ideas, and information.” 

On CNN's New Day, former 60 Minutes producer Chris Whipple says that compared to Trump's crimes in connection with January 6th, Nixon and Haldemann's misconduct in Watergate "look like parking violations."

Monday’s Morning Joe served as yet another three hour-long rant about the upcoming midterms, anti-Republican rhetoric, and jokes amongst liberal hyenas about how those in opposition to them are "conspiracy theorists," "freaks," and "weirdos." Throw in a nauseating defense of Kamala Harris and it was tire fire that would be offensive to tire fires. Of course, the proceedings were led…

Morning Joe took some time on Wednesday to talk about the “scandal” surrounding British Prime Minister Boris Johnson regarding his parties during COVID lockdowns and almost, almost had a rational response before Willie Geist had to remind them that they work at MSNBC, thus January 6 was introduced.

A week after getting hammered with tough questions on ABC and CBS Sunday shows, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) faced another round with CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash. She was harassed to support an abortion for a raped 10-year-old girl. Right after that, Bash interviewed Rep. Adam Kinzinger and told him her 11-year-old son would appreciate him calling Liz Cheney’s primary opponents…

On CNN's New Day, George Conway, co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, analogizes Donald Trump's legal jeopardy to that of O.J. Simpson in the case in which Simpson was convicted of using illegal means—a gun—to take back goods he believed had been stolen from him.  Conway argued that even if Trump believed the election had been stolen from him, he used force--the Capitol Hill riot--to…

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski works Know Your Value, the title of her book, into her praise for the testimony of former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson before the House January 6 Committee.

Going into the Fourth of July weekend on Friday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough ended the 8 O’clock hour with an interview with presidential historian Jon Meacham where the duo went on to pompously and hypocritically wax poetic about the state of the country and how we should reflect on the situation we’re in regarding the January 6 hearings. And according to these two, we’re facing down the same…

Nothing about Roe v. Wade, and nothing about the problems that are pummeling Americans at full force. For Thursday’s Morning Joe edition, it was back to politics’ newest thriller/drama: The January 6 Committee and gushing about Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s (R) speech at the Reagan Library where she called on Republicans to no longer be loyal to Trump, but to the…

It’s a common trend for ideologues of every stripe to look into the past and bend it to fit their theories or current political needs. Never one to buck trends, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes decided to conclude Wednesday evening’s episode of All In with a misleading comparison between the rioters on January 6 and white supremacist militias attacking state capitols during the Reconstruction era…
