Conservatives & Republicans

On Morning Joe, reacting to Trump having called America a "garbage can for the world," Joe Scarborough breaks out a variation on America, love it or leave it. He says: "If anybody believes that America is a garbage can, that's voting this election, they're just stupid. They just don't know the facts. They may want to move somewhere else if they think it's such a hellhole."

Joe Scarborough consistently claims to be a conservative, and on today's Morning Joe even described himself as a follower of Russell Kirk, author of The Conservative Mind. Calling her a "real conservative," Scarborough lavishly praised Liz Cheney for endorsing Kamala Harris. The question arises: if Liz Cheney had somehow won the Republican nomination, would Scarborough be supporting…

On Morning Joe, Jon Meacham says that in their hearts, traditional Republicans know that their support of Trump is wrong. Meacham also says that, looking to Washington's Farewell Address for guidance on the central thesis of the American Republic, people can ignore the central role that Washington placed on religion.

Comedy Central's The Daily Show took its outrage at Republicans to another level on Thursday as it welcomed Laverne Cox to the show to rant at the GOP and “its transphobia,” which included the accusation that the party’s $65 million ad campaign is contributing to transgender people committing suicide.

Bill Adair, Duke University journalism professor and founder of the “fact-checking” site PolitiFact, indulged his warped scales with a sympathetic host on tax-funded PBS, sending out a fair-and-balanced message: Republicans love to lie! Adair: "[Democrats] feel shame in ways that I'm afraid too many politicians on the right do not…."

ABC’s Good Morning America has been the reliable broadcast network morning news show for the left (with MSNBC’s Morning Joe holding that claim on cable), but their toolish, real-life North Korean news lady for the Biden-Harris regime — chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce — took it to another level Wednesday by gushing Vice President Harris was not only “reach voters where they…

On Morning Joe, Mika says it's an "understatement" to say it's "frustrating" that Kamala Harris is incapable of getting her message out. Elise Jordan suggests trying to convince persuadable Republicans that Kamala's not a "radical liberal," despite plentiful evidence, as seen in Trump ads, that she is precisely that.

PBS News Hour’s White House correspondent just happened to interview four “lifelong Republicans” in Arizona for Tuesday’s edition, none of whom would be voting for Trump, and who further insulted their "lifelong" party as "cowardly" and "lawless" along the way. Certainly such voters exist -- but it’s a bit odd that Barron-Lopez either couldn’t find or didn’t want to amplify any…

The Washington Post followed a familiar scheme when it comes to the incessant media gaslighting on the existence of censorship of conservatives: First, deny it exists. Second, admit it exists, but excuse it away it by asserting that such censorship is justifiable.

If journalism professor and PolitiFact founder Bill Adair meant to increase faith in the fact-checking industry with his appearance on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, he failed miserably. Adair told host Jon Stewart on Monday that the reason why Republicans get fact-checked more is because “lying... has just become a culture” in conservative circles.

Morning  Joe warns of civil war if Trump loses.  John Heilemann says he's not a fearful person, but that he's very nervous about what will happen if Trump loses.  Joe Scarborough, the catastrophizer-in-chief, somehow claims that he's not a catastrophizer, but says there is reason to be concerned. And Katty Kay makes it explicit, saying that in a country with so many guns, Trump supporters will…

For reasons that only it can explain, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 decided to do a research project on what 10 and 11-year olds think about Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and their supporters. On Wednesday, they reported that kids who are more supportive of Trump are more tolerant than those who are more supporative of Harris, but desperately tried to explain this away by claiming that…

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Georgetown law professor Michele Goodwin somehow suggests that post-Dobbs law limiting abortion are the modern-day equivalent of slavery and Jim Crow laws, including those restricting the ability of African-Americans to play chess and checkers.

On Tuesday's The Source, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called out CNN host Kaitlan Collinsfor parroting liberal spin in describing a bill pushed by Democrats as being designed to protect the legality of invitro fertilization when, in reality, it does much more than that.
