As U.S. lawmakers close in on Big Tech with antitrust investigations, Facebook is striking back by aiding the launch of a powerful tech lobby. “Facebook is working behind the scenes to help launch a new political advocacy group that would combat U.S. lawmakers and regulators trying to rein in the tech industry,” The Washington Post wrote in its May 12 coverage. This advocacy group, called…

On Tuesday's New Day show, CNN host John Berman prodded Maine Senator Angus King (an independent who caucuses with Democrats) to bash conservative judicial nominee Justin Walker as he opened his interview with the Maine Senator. The CNN host gave no pushback when Senator King derided Walker as "that unqualified judge," and complained that it was "ridiculous" that they were returning to D.C. in…

On Saturday's Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi provided a forum to liberal constitutional attorney Laurence Tribe to bash the conservative judges that President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are putting on the courts, and to fearmonger about how they might effect the country's future, calling it a "terrifying" and a "really scary prospect for anyone who cares about the…

On Thursday, MSNBC repeatedly teed up Democratic senators to argue that the U.S. Senate should not reconvene because doing so may allow Republicans to fill judicial vacancies with conservative nominees. Both the journalists and the liberal lawmakers insisted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was “endangering the lives” of Capitol Hill staff amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On CNN's New Day, Alisyn Camerota asks Nancy Pelosi whether there are any Republicans on the coronavirus bailout "oversight" committee she created. It is an open, published, fact that Pelosi appointed only Democrats to the panel, including rabid Trump haters like Maxine Waters and Jamie Raskin. Pelosi doesn't answer the question directly, making instead the mind-boggling claim that "the…

On Saturday's Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi again used the pandemic as a rationale for advocating socialized medicine as he defended Canadian-style single-payer health care, and cued up Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to advocate such a system in the U.S.

On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, as liberal host Bill Maher debated Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw over the Donald Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Republican Congressman argued against the myth that everyone but President Trump took the virus seriously early on as he recalled that Democrats actually opposed some of the President's early actions to keep the virus…

MSNBC ducked out of the Friday night briefing for a typical DNC-style softball interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Republicans get the third degree, Democrats get the "What would you like to say about that?" Melber started by asking Pelosi to "walk us through" what's going on with the small-business loan program that's running out of funds. Then Melber cued up the Speaker to lie that the…

On Wednesday's Full Frontal show, liberal comedienne Samantha Bee was seen fawning over Senator Elizabeth Warren as the TBS host was seen in a pre-recorded interview speaking with the former Democratic presidential candidate. Bee oozed: "I wanted desperately to vote for you, and you dropped out of the race, and it felt like the end of the world." Bee went on to suggest Warren lost because she is…

Hollywood’s hatred for President Trump and his supporters is a bottomless pit. Actor, Bernie Sanders lover and rabid Trump-hater John Cusack proposed another depraved solution to the pesky problem that is Trump: We will just impeach him again.

In the same Sunday front section where The Washington Post spent three pages celebrating House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, reporter Paul Kane was kissing the ring of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer: "After years as partisan brawler, Schumer takes leading role to help his country."  In his "@PKCapitol" column, Kane touted accomplishment -- somehow mostly by Schumer, not by Mitch McConnell: 

On the last Sunday in March a year ago, The Washington Post Magazine published a goopy cover story titled "Pelosi's Moment. On the last Sunday in March this year, The Post published an "Opinion Essay" in the A section that went on for three pages (with eight photographs) celebrating Pelosi as "A troublemaker with a gavel." Karen Tumulty wrote what sounded like a very long Hallmark Greetings card…

New York Times congressional reporters Carl Hulse and Emily Cochrane gave the “tick-tock” on the Senate passage of a coronavirus stimulus package -- at least as told by Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer: “Passing the Stimulus: Nonstarter at A.M. To 96-0 at Midnight -- How the polarized Senate found a way to negotiate a plan to help an ailing nation.” Schumer guided the story, with Hulse as usual…
