The A-block of MSNBC’s Morning Joe made clear on Monday that, even though the Biden administration had to backtrack on maintaining a refugee cap from the Trump administration, they’re still in tremendous shape and doing a fantastical job. Speaking for the panel, BBC’s Katty Kay emphasized the snafu over an immigration cap “was a kind of rare moment in what has been an…

On New Day, CNN international correspondent Nick Paton Walsh, commenting on President Biden's decision to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan, says "I think [Afghanistan] has been left in the lurch to some extent, some would say."  Co-host Poppy Harlow grills Democrat Sen. Chris Coons, who supports the withdrawal, on the threat to women's rights.

Criticizing it as based on "calendars, not conditions," Richard Haass, in his ever-polite fashion, has ripped President Biden's decision to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of 9/11. On today's Morning Joe, Haass, the show's foreign policy maven and president of the Council on Foreign Relations, predicted the "near certainty" of a "human rights tragedy." He also…

There was some major whiplash on Tuesday's CBS Evening News when it was reported President Biden would announce American’s withdrawal from Afghanistan after more than 20 years. T The whiplash came from the network’s support for troop withdrawals being dependent on the party affiliation of the president behind it. They even discounted the peace deal President Trump struck to give…

Potemkin village: an impressive facade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition. That's what the Biden administration is up to by only permitting the media to visit "aspirational" facilities housing children crossing the border, while denying access to border patrol facilities where the conditions are very bad. The deceit is too much even for Mika Brzezinski, who on…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that the Biden administration is "luring" children to the border. He says that even if the Biden admin plays ads telling people not to come, so long as they continue to be allowed to enter they will continue to come.

NBC political director Chuck Todd ended Sunday’s Meet the Press with the demand that people, particularly “elected officials” not criticize or bash the genocidal country of China as their “rivalry” with the United States “heats up.” Of course, this came as the network smeared a Georgia Sheriff with false claims of racism after the shootings at Asian spas in the Atlanta area by an…

MSNBC's The 11th Hour host Brian Williams burned all sorts of strawmen on Friday night when he accused people "in the cheap seats" and in conservative media of agitating for war with China and even sounded like a Chinese apologist when he griped that there are some who refer to China as "communist China."

Who knew that, even after leaving office, Donald Trump had such influence over Vladimir Putin? Maybe Biden should appoint Trump as his special envoy to Russia! On this morning's New Day, John Berman described as "Trumpian" remarks by Putin and Medvedev intimating that Biden might have lost mental acuity. This in response to Biden calling Putin a "killer." Susan Glasser of CNN and the…

Q. How do you know things are really, really, bad at the border, and that the Biden administration is trying to cover it up? A. When even Yamiche Alcindor--Yamiche Alcindor!--admits it! On Morning Joe, Yamiche Alcindor, that most loyal of Dem supporters and Trump critics, speaks of "crying and terrified" children at the border, and states that the Biden administration is preventing reporters…

On CNN's New Day, Biden border coordinator Roberta Jacobson admits that when it comes to messaging, the human smugglers are more "quick and agile" than the Biden administration. Co-host John Berman surprisingly presses Jacobson on the Biden admin's various failures regarding the border. 

After years of alleging that former-President Trump and, by extension, the Republican Party where doing the bidding of tyrannical Vladimir Putin, Thursday's edition of CNN Newsroom rolled out the red carpet for propaganda from Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the leader the group currently fomenting civil war in Yemen commonly known as the Houthis, to express why he and his…

On Tuesday's Morning Joe, they discussed who was the "racist" in the British royal family who worried about the skin color of Prince Harry's baby. Mika Brzezinski said "no names...except it was Charles." That sounded rude, but Mika and Joe Scarborough agreed Harry's "no names" routine was doing a "grave disservice" to his father, the next King of England.

Reacting to the Sunday interview Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did with Oprah, Don Lemon joined CNN Newsroom Monday to declare the entire British monarchy is self-evidently racist and that Markle is just latest black person to be unfairly condemned by white people who are "not relevant anymore."
