Political Groups

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…

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough accused President Trump and his legal team, with the "silent approval" of Mitch McConnell, of attempting a "coup" to "overthrow the presidency" of Joe Biden. "None dare call it treason, but maybe they should."

When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable, nothing's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was "taken out of context." To be sure, Jason Johnson trotted out that excuse while guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy Sunday morning. But give Eddie Glaude credit. The frequent MSNBC guest came up with a somewhat more original excuse. Critics of Wright's damnation…

One of the big takeaways from the 2020 election cycle was that the polling industry had no idea what it was doing and was gaslighting the American people with lies about a massive groundswell for Democrats at all levels. And few in the polling industry has the ears of more liberal prognosticators that Nate Silver, the founder of analytical firm FiveThirtyEight. In his Sunday appearance on ABC’…

The media fawning over former President Obama and his new memoir continued on MSNBC Live on Friday as Jonathan Capehart joined host Craig Melvin to talk about his interview with Obama. Capehart effectively re-wrote the history of the Obama era as he was amazed at the former president's unwillingness to "get down in the mud."
