Conservatives & Republicans

President Donald Trump is now officially the 47th president of the United States. Trump’s first inauguration in 2017 was marred by violence from the left; it was also surreal. The media were utterly shocked by Trump’s victory — Trump himself seemed shocked, too — and that disbelief translated into four years of extraordinary efforts to deny that Trump had indeed won, ranging from attacks on…

While it lacked the schoolings NBC’s liberal journalists faced at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and longtime GOP hand Hogan Gidley or ABC’s degree of Biden apple polishing, CBS held its own during Monday’s Trump inauguration thanks to the pomposity and obsession with January 6 on the part of many of their lead anchors. NewsBusters slogged through the first nine hours of…

In the three hours leading up to President Trump’s second inauguration on Monday, the liberal journalists at ABC were having a rough time as they said America’s “deeply divided” thanks to Trump, suggested his affinity and support for the forgotten men and women is fake because of his budding friendships with tech billionaires, and that America no longer has real “check and balances” when…

Appearing as a guest on Thursday's The ReidOut, MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd compared poor Americans who voted for Donald Trump to poor whites who defended wealthy slave owners during the Civil War.

Thursday’s CBS Mornings featured a welcome profile by co-host Tony Dokoupil on why President-Elect Trump dominated the male vote in the 2024 presidential campaign. Dokoupil did nothing to lampoon or even mock men of all stripes who flocked to Trump for a variety of reasons, including feelings of abandonment by the left and the 21st century economy.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe’s favorite presidential historian, Jon Meacham, joined another H-less Jon on Thursday when he appeared on Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart podcast. Meacham told Stewart that the fact that Donald Trump will be president again shows that America is still having problems with complying with the Declaration of Independence.

Whatever one thinks of some Republicans suggesting aid to California after the devastating wildfires come with strings attached, it is hard to claim the state’s wildfire prevention strategy has been a success. Still, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart took to the air on Comedy Central on Monday to mock GOP criticism by reducing forest management to raking leaves.

“February was the wettest month in downtown Los Angeles since 1998. With over 12 inches of rain drenching the city, it was the fourth-wettest February -- and the seventh-wettest month overall -- in the city’s nearly 150-year recorded history,” said Judson Jones’ report on Los Angeles’ weather on March 2, 2024, in The New York Times. Just under a year later, Los Angeles is on fire and the fire…

Winning the 2024 election was only the beginning — the Trump effect is now sweeping the globe. From Canada to the U.K. and continental Europe, left-liberal governments are tottering while right-leaning voters, especially young men, gravitate toward populist politics and take inspiration from Donald Trump’s success in America. It’s almost as if Trump himself were on the ballot in other advanced…

Tim Allen is back with a brand-new comedy that premiered this week on ABC. Shifting Gears stars Allen (who also serves as executive producer) as Matt, a widowed entrepreneur who owns a classic car restoration business. Matt’s estranged daughter Riley (Kat Dennings) returns home with her children after a divorce that leaves her broke (no pun intended) and in need of her dad’s help.

From the beginning of June through the end of December, the late night comedy shows welcomed 120 liberal guests and only one conservative, according to a new NewsBusters study.

CNN’s live coverage of Congress’s election certification on Monday included a panel of various hosts and commentators reminiscing about the dramatic events of January 6th, 2021. Amid the faux hysterics, sympathy for Vice President Kamala Harris, and somber attitudes, Scott Jennings prevailed as a voice of reason, providing some much-needed reality checks to his fellow panelists.

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, the hosts, and in particular Michael Steele, downplay and dump on Mike Johnson and Donald Trump's achievement in securing a first-ballot victory for Johnson as Speaker. But panelists Julie Tsirkin and Eugene Daniels are more fair 'n balanced, with Daniels describing the achievement as "impressive."

On MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele claims Trump plans to put migrants in "concentration camps." April Ryan says that Trump views black and brown migrants at the southern border as a "problem," but welcomes migrants entering the US on visas, because they come from countries like Ukraine and "look like him." Fact: more than 8 out of 10 people entering the US on H1B1 visas come from…
