Coronavirus

On Tuesday night’s NBC Nightly News, the always pretentious and smug Lester Holt appeared to sneer at Americans who are tired of wearing masks and whined that Florida District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the federal mask mandate. 

Less than 24 hours after Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the Biden administration’s mask mandate on planes and public transportation, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today stood up for those still paralyzed in fear of the coronavirus, tag-teaming with medical experts to fret people wouldn’t accept two more weeks of masking and that we’ve placed such a dangerous burden on…

“Scary,” “unqualified,” and “Florida.” Those were just some of the terms used by MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Dr. Peter Hotez on Tuesday as they reacted to the airplane mask mandate being struck down by a federal Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle.

Another day, another wild episode of the final season of the Psaki Show. This time with a well-deserved grilling by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, and some rather bizarre questions from a couple of other reporters in the room. 

In the New York Times story “Democrats Face Tough Questions as a Border Saga Enters a New Chapter,” Leah Askarinam interviewed two Times reporters who have been covering the immigration-troubled Biden Administration’s ditching of Title 42, a Trump policy that slowed the admission of migrants on the southern border on public health grounds, specifically Covid concerns. The Biden administration…

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell just can’t quit pandemic restrictions. On her Friday show on MSNBC, Mitchell declared that airplane mask mandates should remain, not because of any scientific reason, but because they make her feel more comfortable.

Talk show host Bill Maher and podcast legend Joe Rogan slammed the alliance of Big Tech and Cancel Culture for silencing debate about COVID-19.

With the news out Monday that the Omicron sub-variant B.A.2 is causing a new surge in COVID cases throughout the country and with the announcement that Philadelphia will be reinstating their indoor mask mandate, CBS Evening News used this as an opportunity to hype a second COVID booster shot and whine that Americans care more about rising prices and the struggling economy than they do about…

Given the busy news week, we wanted on Monday morning to recap the best and the worst from Thursday and Friday’s episodes of The Psaki Show and hone in on Fox’s Peter Doocy sparring with Press Secretary Jen Psaki over COVID cases around the President and Vice President and then free cellphones for illegal immigrants.

Wednesday’s Psaki Show marked a contrast between the constructive and the absurd as Fox’s Peter Doocy engaged the White House press secretary on questions surrounding President Biden’s son Hunter and brother Jim and, as other reporters would as well, immigration. But in contrast, others expressed discomfort with a lack of COVID restrictions, raised concerns about right-wing terrorism, and…

Over two segments, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings served an important purpose in reminding many that, though we’ve moved on from the COVID-19 pandemic (while still acknowledging the lives lost and how little we knew early on), others like co-host Gayle King haven’t and instead fear going to a restaurant without a vaccine mandate and opposes the idea of “personal responsibility.”

The hypocritical New York Times refuses to fairly cover conservative protests against mask and vaccine mandates and other overzealous pandemic restrictions, and continues to smear mandate protesters as extremist disruptors, as in this recent post: “Mandates are ending in the U.S., but protests outside officials’ homes continue." It’s far from the soft-soap Times reporters applied to actually…

So is the COVID pandemic receding, or does it threaten to “swell anew”? Don’t ask the New York Times. It offered up both versions in twinned off-lead stories on Thursday’s front page, depending on which way the paper had to spin the danger to please the left: "....public health experts who have said that migrants do not pose a serious transmission risk, especially at this point in the pandemic…

The Biden Administration is considering ending Trump-era COVID Title 42 policies that make it easier to deport migrants who show up at the southern border. In the meantime, exemptions are open to Ukrainians which led MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart and Allen Orr of the American Immigration Lawyers Association to cry racism on the former’s Thursday show.
