Appearing as a guest on MSNBC's The Sunday Show, NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss charged that Virginia Republican governor-elect Glenn Youngkin "played the race card" to get elected, and was "perfectly happy to connect with Virginia's horrible, violent, ugly history, which is centuries of slavery, white supremacy politics."

CNN Inside Politics host John King agreed with Democratic strategist Paul Begala on Thursday that Republican attacks against Critical Race Theory were nothing more than racist dog whistles for suburbanites who don't like diversity. At one point, King went so far as to echo Democratic allegations that it was a "horses***" issue.

As Democrats ponder their newly vulnerable electoral state, here’s a New York Times headline that’s a neat encapsulation of media bias: “Republicans Pounce on Schools as a Wedge Issue to Unite the Party.” That's the online headline to the front-page Thursday story by Lisa Lerer and Jeremy Peters. It’s two liberal media tropes in one line: the idea of Republicans cynically “pouncing”…

The liberal media’s immediate reaction to the left’s defeat in Virginia on Election Day was to start screaming at the state and accusing voters of forwarding a racist agenda because Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) had promised to get Critical Race Theory out of schools there. But to help perpetuate the false narrative, they ignored how those same Virginia voters elected Winsome Sears (R), a…

Just when you think we had covered all of the MSNBC meltdowns from Tuesday night over the results of the Virginia gubernatorial election and down ballot races, there were plenty more to cover from both late Tuesday and early Wednesday that, as we saw in the previous coverage, ranged from despondence to hysteria to denial of basic reality. Co-hosts Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and Brian Williams…

Only after Republican Glenn Youngkin won the race for governor in Virginia on Tuesday did ABC feel like doing some real journalism and go into the commonwealth to speak with parents and Democrats that swung for the other party this time around. In a Nightline report, those parents spelled out how they trusted Youngkin with their children’s education and that their opposition to…

It was a horrendous night on Tuesday for liberals as Republicans were poised to sweep into power in previously blue Virginia and running a close race for New Jersey’s governor’s mansion. And with that, MSNBC was beside itself with DEFCON-1 levels of hysteria that showed, at least for one night, that the far-left cable journalists and pundits had learned nothing. MSNBC again turned to…

Hours after Decision Desk called the Virginia gubernatorial race for Republican Glenn Youngkin in a come-from-behind upset Tuesday, CNN finally got around early Wednesday to admitting to the writing on the wall as the GOP swept the races for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and then took the majority in the House of Delegates. CNN’s response? Declaring the country “…

Minutes after polls closed in Virginia on Tuesday, MSNBC’s election night co-hosts made it clear that they were pessimistic about their chances as they instead continued to lie about gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, his voters, and Republicans writ large by calling them “dangerous” human beings “to our national security” and racists “in fleece” peddling “lies” about critical race theory…

Even before the polls closed in Virginia Tuesday night, the liberals on CNN were chaffed by the exit polls and the obvious enthusiasm gap going into the day. Liberal commentator Van Jones was so irked that he took to comparing Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin to the delta COVID variant spreading the “disease” of Trumpism. But he almost immediately got slapped down by…

n preparation for today’s election in Virginia, the hosts of The View followed Democrats’ orders to convince viewers once more that Critical Race Theory was “not taught in K-12 schools.”

It’s Election Day in Virginia, and New York Times reporter Reid Epstein covered in Tuesday’s edition the surprisingly close fight between Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe, former Virginia governor and previously the head of the Democratic National Committee: “As Youngkin Tries to Finesse Trump, McAuliffe Conjures His Comeback.”

The gubernatorial race in Virginia was understood to be a preview of the 2022 midterms, and/or a referendum on the Biden administration and other liberal policies. But on Monday, the eve of Election Day, ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News seemed to hint that they had little to no confidence in Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s ability to beat…

Appearing Monday afternoon on MSNBC, longtime University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato reminded viewers of the depths in which his brain has been broken as he relayed that a victory for Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin over former Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) would be thanks to his use of lies and white power to galvanize a “white backlash” against Democrats…
