Health Care

On Sunday's AM Joy show on MSNBC, as she spoke with several medical doctors about the coronavirus pandemic, host Joy Reid claimed that countries with universal health care are handling the crisis better than the U.S., and even asserted that America's "former allies" in Europe are, "quite frankly, having better outcomes than we are." Reid made this claim in spite of the fact that per capita deaths…

On Morning Joe, Jon Meacham says that when it comes to testing for the coronavirus, President Trump is "failing to do what my Springer Spaniels know we should do." Joe Scarborough says that he and Willie Geist "can confirm that."

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appeared on Monday for yet another softball interview on MSNBC, this time with MSNBC Live's Stephanie Ruhle. This latest interview included interviewer and interviewee thanking each other their role in the current pandemic. Ruhle praised all the help for small business, and Pelosi said ""Well, thank you for your objective view of it all because that's all very…

A month after President Trump had invoked the Defense Production Act calling on General Motors to manufacture ventilators for the coronavirus crisis, CBS Evening News refused to acknowledge that fact as they praised to automaker on Monday. This came after the newscasts had repeatedly insisted the Trump administration wasn’t doing anything to have desperately needed equipment made here at home.…

There's perhaps nothing more elitist than major national journalists whining about unemployed people getting their income back since they don’t need to worry about losing their jobs overnight. But the elitist anger of CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News notably only found select targets Monday night: red states, while states ran by Democrats were largely sheltered from their scorn.

Stung by criticism of their on-air TDS meltdowns, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski lash out at the conservative media, calling them "despicable, disgusting" Trump "pawns" who are betraying the legacy of William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan.

The liberal media love to complain when they feel that President Trump has disrespected them. So how, if at all, will the MSM react to Nancy Pelosi telling Jake Tapper to "just calm down" when he asked about her failure to get state and local funding in the latest bailout bill? Pelosi has been all over television getting softball questions. So when Tapper asked if she made a "tactical mistake,"…

While they are rightly spending a lot of time covering the coronavirus crisis, the media were still political entities. ABC proved that fact during Sunday’s This Week when three of their journalists (chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl, and senior congressional correspondent Mary Bruce) hyped how President Trump’s campaign messaging took a massive hit and…

Conceited CNN host Jake Tapper was supposedly a journalist, but has proven himself to be a liberal activist. Tapper concluded Sunday’s State of the Union by lashing out at congressional Republicans and those within the Trump administration by declaring history will remember them as "villains." Although, Dr. Deborah Birx of the Coronavirus Task Force did put him in his place for trying to continue…

Donald Trump: akin to a homicidal cult leader? Yup, if you believe Joy Reid's guest this morning, MSNBC analyst Dr. Irwin Redlener. Calling President Trump a "cult leader," Redlener said that his: "cultish following reminds me of Jim Jones and the Koolaid and all that horrible stuff."

As COVID-19 deaths continue to rise, MSNBC's Brian Williams and historian Douglas Brinkley wondered on Friday night's The 11th Hour why President Trump doesn't seem to care.

On Saturday's Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi again used the pandemic as a rationale for advocating socialized medicine as he defended Canadian-style single-payer health care, and cued up Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to advocate such a system in the U.S.

During a nearly six-minute long report on Friday, NBC’s Today show tried to directly lay blame for “growing discrimination” against Asian American at the feet of President Trump. The coverage suggested that Trump’s use of the phrase “Chinese virus” in the early days of the pandemic inspired hate crimes across the country.

The recent VA study that showed that hydroxychloroquine failed to show any benefit in treating and may even harm COVID-19 patients has led many in the media to say "told you so." Some, such as CNN's Brian Stelter, have gone even further, who claimed on Wednesday's CNN Newsroom that President Trump and various Fox News personalities' advocacy of it has been dangerous.
