On Friday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour and former NBC presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin spoke favorably of higher taxes on the wealthy in the U.S. and the increased welfare state in Britain that came about post-World War II.

On Tuesday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, New York Times health and science reporter Donald McNeil insisted Centers for Disease Control boss James Redfield should just resign. Even the Times issued a statement saying that was too much opinion.

Nary a day goes by that Morning Joe does not aver some variation on the notion that President Trump is not "well." But perhaps the time has come for Scarborough to take a hard look in the mirror. The corrosive effects of his unrelenting hatred of the president seem to be taking a toll on Scarborough's psyche. 

We now know that Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had been packing coronavirus patients into nursing homes for weeks, possibly killing untold numbers of people. But while he was doing that, his CNN host little brother, Chris “Fredo” Cuomo was lashing out at Florida and Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, suggesting they didn’t care about the lives of non-residents. Now, we know that New…

If there's anything to learn from the COVID-19 pandemic that should be considered uncontroversial, it is that one should take statistics put out by communist governments with a grain of salt. Unfortunately, CNN Newsroom co-host Jim Sciutto failed to heed that advice on Tuesday when, in an attempt to highlight the purported shortcomings of the United States under President Trump, he declared Wuhan…

Tucker Carlson committed the mortal sin of questioning the unerring wisdom of Dr. Fauci. And for that, CNN's John Berman suggests that Carlson is a "buffoon."

In arguably his most toxic diatribe to date, CNN host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo ended Tuesday’s Cuomo PrimeTime by lashing out at Fox News in the vilest of ways: Falsely declaring that they were totally fine with 10,000 more Americans dying from the coronavirus.

What is going on over that NBC News? On Monday, they threw Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo under the bus and reported on how he was forcing elderly coronavirus patients into nursing homes. Then, on Tuesday, they credited President Trump for funding a groundbreaking manufacturing technique that would allow syringes for vaccines to be produced faster, in greater number, and domestically.

John Oliver is not subtle. As he trashed the Trump administration’s response to Coronavirus, HBO host John Oliver seized on the fact that the Guns N’ Roses cover of the song “Live and Let Die” played in the background while Donald Trump toured a factory making face masks. Oliver spent a considerable portion of Sunday’s edition of Last Week Tonight arguing that the song epitomizes the Trump…

Poor Joe Scarborough!  On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough whined about Trump supporters ignoring President Trump's "lies," but criticizing him for his own mistakes, as when he falsely claimed that in early January, "everybody knew" the coronavirus would be a serious problem, and when he retweeted a doctored video falsely suggesting that Vice President Pence was carrying empty boxes of PPE as a…

On Monday's CNN Newsroom, John King and John Harwood teamed up to denounce President Trump's accusation that there's a political reason for Democratic governors being slow in re-opening their states as "preposterous" and "pretty shameless."   

Denouncing it as “a path to disaster,” investigative correspondent Cynthia McFadden’s Monday report for NBC Nightly News called out Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for forcing nursing homes in his state to take in coronavirus-positive patients just out of the hospital. On top of that, she pointed out how he had refused to give those facilities personal protective equipment (PPE). All of…

On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski called Donald Trump a "freaking nut." What prompted Mika to use a variation on the F-word to describe the President of the United States? That he had the audacity, via tweets, to defend himself and his administration.
