Joy Reid reclaimed her spot today as host of AM Joy, the MSNBC show she left in favor of hosting a weekday primetime slot on the network. Reid, having big-footed the aspirants to her host chair, had an urgent message for Democrats: threaten, and exact, retaliation on Republicans should they manage to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Reid raised the notion…

One can expect a round of eulogies in appreciations when a longtime leader on the Supreme Court dies, but when "feminist icon" Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, the level of praise was so thick, she was celebrated as a force for "liberty" and as a figure of "great righteousness" in the Jewish tradition.

There’s a saying: “A picture is worth a 1000 words.” When it comes to hypocritical, biased hate, so is a headline. Here is the Washington Post front page from February 14, 2016, the day after legendary conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died: "Supreme Court Conservative Dismayed Liberals." For Ginsburg in 2020: "A Pioneer Devoted to Equality." Notice a difference? 

ABC News had barely even reported the news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing Friday night before hosts and correspondents began crassly strategizing over how Democrats could target vulnerable Republican senators in order to block any nominee named by President Trump to fill the vacancy. 

At news that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed, NY Magazine’s Rebecca Traister appeared on MSNBC’s All In With Chris Hayes to have an emotional breakdown panicking about how the evil right wing was succeeding in gutting the left’s “major legal victories” of the past fifty years.

Mere moments after the news of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death at age 87 on Friday, the liberal media were trying to spin her legacy on the court and gaslight the American people. Seconds into his NBC Nightly News report recalling her life and work, chief Justice correspondent Pete Williams claimed she “was consistently one of the U.S. Supreme Court’s moderate to liberal members…

The liberals on MSNBC immediately turned the sad death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg into a ghoulish politicization of the Supreme Court justice’s death. Talking to Hillary Clinton, Maddow deemed the loss of Clinton in 2016 and the death of Ginsburg as a “feminist catastrophe.” 

In the hour leading up to Night Three of the Democrat convention, PBS aired a profile of Biden’s career by reporter Lisa Desjardins, starring liberal-bias legend Nina Totenberg of NPR. Biden was judged positively for beating Robert Bork’s nomination for the Supreme Court in 1987, and negatively for not helping Anita Hill enough to defeat Clarence Thomas in 1991.

On Thursday morning’s CNN Newsroom, host Poppy Harlow brought on political correspondent Abby Phillip and presidential historian Douglas Brinkley to discuss the Supreme Court’s rulings on President Trump’s tax returns. The Democratic hacks were not interested in objective analysis of the cases, but instead on how the rulings could harm Trump's chances in the 2020 election. Brinkley…

The networks finally broke their weeks-long blackout of conservative wins in the U.S. Supreme Court this session. Among Wednesday’s decisions were two religious liberty rulings that went decisively in conservatives’ favor: hiring/firing practices and opting out of ObamaCare’s contraception coverage mandate. Of course, ABC, CBS, and NBC covered only the latter, with ABC and CBS expressing…

Over the last two weeks, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued six major rulings that touch on issues ranging from gay rights to religious freedom. And in the midst of those events, the decisions of some of the justices went ways that those invested in the outcomes didn’t expect. But one truth was constant throughout the over two-week period: the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) celebrated…

Despite abortion being an issue which continues to divide Americans, CNN Newsroom cheered the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Louisiana pro-life law as restoring “integrity” and “stability” in the law and “public’s expectations” on abortion. During the 10-minute-segment Monday morning, no journalist or analyst pointed out this law was aimed to protect the life of the mother…

ABC journalists on Monday breathlessly broke in with live reaction to the Supreme Court striking down a Louisiana law restricting abortion. The pivotal fifth vote was provided by John Roberts who sided with the Court’s liberals. Of course, this mean that now Roberts “cares a great deal” about being apolitical. ABC also repeated Planned Parenthood talking points about the Court and 2020. 

On Monday morning’s CNN Newsroom, host Jim Sciutto brought on political analyst Sabrina Siddiqui, chief legal analyst and national politics reporter Jeffrey Toobin, and Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic to celebrate the Supreme Court striking down a Louisiana law regulating abortions. Rejecting the guise of a news network, the panel unabashedly applauded the ruling. Toobin …
