Conservatives & Republicans

Although he appears as the ostensible voice from the right on the PBS News Hour’s Friday evening political discussion, New York Times columnist David Brooks is no one’s idea of a hard-core conservative. He said “I love Joe Biden” before criticizing Biden’s angry speech on Night One of the Democratic National Convention, after previously stating “I do think Donald Trump is…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough expresses his preference for Bernie Sanders as president over Donald Trump, saying, "If Mike Pence were president or Bernie Sanders were president, I'd worry much less than if Donald Trump were president." Scarborough opines that Madisonian democracy, checks and balances, and the separation of powers would permit the country to survive a very conservative or a…

On Morning Joe, George Conway, playing off Trump's Truth Social post claiming that Kamala's Michigan crowd size had been fabricated, called Trump a delusional narcissistic sociopath, adding that if his family cared about him, they would have him committed to a psychiatric hospital. Conway compared Trump to Hitler in his final days in the bunker, moving around divisions that didn't exist.

Wednesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut was a particularly “joyful” one. Seriously. Host Joy Reid’s obsession with how “fun” the Harris/Walz Democratic ticket is in comparison to the “frightening” Republican ticket of Trump/Vance was reflected in how many times she mentioned the word “joy” (i.e. far too many).

Comedy Central’s weekly temp host of The Daily Show, Michael Kosta, reacted to the outrage that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is  allowed to compete in the women’s Olympic boxing tournament on Monday by spreading fake news about pro-life laws in America in an attempt to argue conservatives are being hypocritical. He also conveniently never said the words “failed gender test.”

Supreme Court justices rarely sit for news interview....unless it’s to promote a book. Such was the case on Monday’s CBS Mornings with Justice Neil Gorsuch set to release one Tuesday on how overregulation has harmed ordinary Americans.  Naturally, Gorusch was hit with the usual smears that come with being a conservative jurist, such as being too grounded in “ideology” as opposed to…

On Tuesday's The Source, CNN host Kaitlan Collins continued the media's hyping of J.D. Vance's "childless cat ladies" comments by having on the GOP vice presidential candidate's former roommate at Yale who is now a Democrat state legislator to trash him as coming from a "dark" and "creepy" place. 

The Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View largely embraced the new campaign message of Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats of calling any and everything about Republicans “weird.” They praised how “effective” it supposedly was. But, as co-host Joy Behar warned, it opened them up to people putting them under the magnifying glass, which was what NewsBusters will do here.

After a week off, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned on Monday with Jon Stewart in the anchor seat to recap President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside and Vice President Kamala Harris taking his spot as the Democratic presidential nominee. During a segment with correspondent Josh Johnson, the duo claimed that race-based attacks are all Republicans have and even implied that…

HBO’s John Oliver began Last Week Tonight on Sunday by recapping Vice President Kamala Harris’s entry into the presidential race by accusing Republicans of resorting to outright racism” and falsely accusing her of being a radical left-winger.

The Weekend host Michael Steele filled in for Joy Reid on Thursday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, giving an obnoxious tribute to President Joe Biden. During the segment, he invited MSNBC analyst Jonathan Alter to demonstrate the apparently stark contrast between Biden’s “decency” and the “malicious” and “nasty” Republican Party.

The nitpickers, who style themselves as fact-checkers at PolitiFact and USA Today, have rushed to Vice President Kamala Harris’s defense by slapping “false” labels on those who seek to label her as the Biden Administration’s “border czar” in order to claim that her failure to stem illegal immigration proves she is unqualified to be president.

The first post-Republican Convention episode of PBS’s journalistic political roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic spent a long time emphasizing the travails of the Democrats over the mental state of President Joe Biden (who would drop out of the 2024 race on Sunday afternoon). But one panelist saw the bright side in the Democratic meltdown.

Hollywood liberals like George Clooney can pen political op-eds to their heart’s content.
