After completely ignoring previous polls that showed President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis getting majority support, NBC political director Chuck Todd used a portion of Sunday’s Meet the Press to whine that a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll had found the President’s approval rating was unmoved from a year ago, despite his impeachment and the pandemic.

Joy Reid's show on MSNBC provides a virtual parody of liberal-elite condescension to Trump supporters. Reid found it "confusing" that Trump's populist base supports him despite supposedly not "getting anything economically out of this plutocracy." The New Yorker's Jane Mayer explained to Reid that Trump's "racist and anger-laced" rhetoric "excites the lower-educated part of his base, the white-…

The final question ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos directed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in his softball This Week interview was intended to tee her up to fear-monger about President Trump’s leadership during the coronavirus crisis, and repeat the debunked claim the President called the virus a “hoax.” In stark contrast, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace had grilled her on how she had…

As media elitists, their jobs were safe and they could easily work from home. But during their Sunday morning newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Sunday Today, chided and cast aside the unemployed Americans taking to the streets as state stay-at-home orders left them in financial ruin. ABC even suggested their angry protests could be “AstroTurf” movements designed to embarrass…

It is one thing to claim that President Trump's Friday tweets calling to "liberate" various states were unwise and counterproductive, but according to Carl Bernstein, who joined CNN's Chris Cuomo that night, they were tantamount to inciting insurrection.  

On MSNBC Friday afternoon, co-anchors Brian Williams and Katy Tur denounced President Trump for urging some states less impacted by the coronavirus to gradually reopen. Williams claimed Trump was trying to stoke “populist prairie fire” against Democratic governors “who so far have been adept in handling this virus.”

Amidst the backdrop of the U.S. government looking into whether the coronavirus originated in a Wuhan lab and China revising its official death count, MSNBC's Jeremy Bash joined Andrea Mitchell on her Friday show to urge the administration to stop scapegoating and denigrating China with "xenophobic rhetoric."

CNN Newsroom host Brianna Keilar and national security correspondent Kaylie Atwood theorized on Thursday that increased focus on the possibility that the current pandemic began as a lab accident in Wuhan and not at a wet market is just another attempt by the White House and its allies to distract from the administration's failures.  

This Thursday’s edition of CNN’s coronavirus town hall turned into a Democratic Party campaign event when co-hosts Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta invited former Vice President Joe Biden onto the show to rip President Trump, and opine about how he would do things differently. And while there were frivolous campaign questions asked, neither of the co-hosts had the integrity to question Biden…

Devoid of any responsibility for the wellbeing and livelihoods of the American populous, CBS Evening News spent two consecutive nights chiding President Trump’s urging for parts of the country to eventually reopen, and get the millions of unemployed and hurting Americans back to work. According to them, the Republican Party was more interested in saving the economy than saving lives.

MSNBC's Brian Williams and Richard Engel took it upon themselves on Wednesday to defend the honor of the World Health Organization after President Trump's announcement on Tuesday that the U.S. would cut it's funding of the organization, declaring it self-evident that the only reason Trump would do such a thing is because he's looking to distract and scapegoat others.  

In a truly disgusting display on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday, co-host Joe Scarborough repeatedly accused Republicans of being in favor of elderly people – including World War II and Vietnam veterans – of dying from coronavirus. To back up his vile assertion, he repeatedly invented fake quotes, imagining GOP lawmakers saying: “Yeah, sure, senior citizens are going to die, but what the hell? We…

As our national lockdown drags on, Americans seem less and less inclined to move swiftly toward societal reopening. Perhaps that's due to the consistent media focus on the risks of reopening. Perhaps that's also due to the psychological comfort of the status quo: When we've been made to feel safe in our home, it's difficult to leave it. Or perhaps we, as a society, have so fundamentally altered…
