CNN getting bored by all the shopworn Trump/Hitler analogies? Searching for a new metaphor with which to attack the president?  On this morning's New Day, co-host John Berman strained logic and analogy beyond the breaking point by claiming that in joining the Texas lawsuit challenging election results in other states, President Trump has somehow made himself . . . the equivalent of the…

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski finds the news that Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has contracted COVID funny, joking [if that's what you call it]: "There are now more Trump attorneys with COVID than they have election challenge wins." Later, when Never Trumper Michael Steele imagines President Trump ranting at a President Biden "in his underwear," Mika finds the image "nauseating."

Where to begin? Given just how off-the-wall crazy the Tuesday handoff between Cuomo PrimeTime and CNN Tonight was, it’s actually a really difficult question to answer. Between Don Lemon’s complaint that President Trump didn’t start vaccine research in January and Chris “Fredo” Cuomo bashing Republicans as a “sickness” spreading division, the idea that the former was demanding…

Nine times in a Morning Joe segment today [view the mash-up!], President Trump was accused, by reason of his challenges to the election results, of staging a "coup." The panel sprinkled in several mentions of "strongman," "fascist," "dictator," and "autocrat" for good measure.

Morning Joe's got a bad case of nostalgia for the good old days of the liberal media's near-total control over the news. As Kasie Hunt put it on today's show, back in the day, there were: "The media . . . was a relatively focused, narrow group, and if they made decisions together could actually impact things."

A month ago, New York Times columnist Tom Friedman was on with CNN host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo and declared the Republican Party was the “biggest threat to our democracy since the Civil War.” But on Sunday’s so-called “Reliable Sources,” Friedman had a completely different tune when gushing to CNN host Brian Stelter about how it was “really hard to hate” President-elect Joe…

Heaven forfend that a Republican should be praised. That was the message on MSNBC's AM Joy show this morning. The Republican in question was Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. He's come in for some accolades on the left [and criticism from President Trump], for certifying Joe Biden as the Peach State winner.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski goes on an angry rant [see screencap] against Joe Scarborough's "Republican friends" for refusing to stand up to President Trump on the coronavirus, calling them "stupid," "arrogant," and "crazy." Brzezinski also blasted the president himself, accusing him of "stupidity and cruelty," while claiming his "presidency is killing people." Mika was so out of control…

Across the country, Democratic leaders were locking down their citizens and destroying their livelihoods with the coronavirus as the pretext. If that wasn’t enough, they were flashing their tyrannical nature by subjecting their people to that treatment while they gallivanted around to expensive restaurants, traveled for Thanksgiving, and one even flew to Mexico for a wedding. At the same time…

In both their Monday and Tuesday evening newscasts, the broadcast networks flashed just how they planned to protect the incoming Biden administration from all controversies that are sure to arise. One of their first tests was to defend far-left think tank operator Neera Tanden, who had been nominated to run the budget office. Avoiding her radical conspiracy theories about the 2016 election and…

Morning Joe is doing its best to deliver the Senate majority to the tender mercies of the Democrats by sowing fear, loathing, and mistrust among Republican voters in Georgia.  On today's show, Joe Scarborough and Kasie Hunt floated the notion that it's "entirely possible" that when President Trump goes to Georgia to rally support for GOP Senate candidates, he will tell voters "write…

Does the left fear a 2024 run by President Trump? Looks that way, judging from this morning's AM Joy show on MSNBC, guest-hosted by Maria Teresa Kumar. The show devoted a segment to the possibility of Trump 2024. And in a pre-emptive strike on a possible run, the panel pleaded that the media shouldn't cover Trump, and that supporters shouldn't contribute to him.

With President-elect Biden stocking up on staff to fill his cabinet, we’re already starting to see the revolving door between politics and the liberal media begin to turn again. Fox News Channel media analyst and host of Media Buzz, Howard Kurtz was on the case Tuesday night as he pointed out the men and women of The Swamp who were leaving the CNN and MSNBC payrolls to go work for…

The rhetoric coming from CNN’s Chris Cuomo has gotten more and more disturbing with each passing week since the election. Monday made it the third week in a row he had used PrimeTime as a platform to launch thinly veiled threats against the lives of Republicans. According to the roid-raging anchor, the GOP intentionally allowed the pandemic to get out of control, and demanded that…
