The cast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live has an unintentionally funny definition of a king. On the most recent episode, James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump character touted his executive orders on DEI and Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense as evidence of Trump’s “king era.”

I have written often that there is a common denominator in our deeply divided nation. That is the general sense that something is wrong. The points of departure among our large and diverse population are the perceptions about what the problems are and what must be done. In this spirit I ask, as many have over recent days, what message we might take from the coincidence of the inauguration day…

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle is back with more observations on President Trump's official suspension of all federal DEI programs. On last night’s episode of The 11th Hour, she hosted another panel, this one featuring MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig, Punchbowl News’s Melanie Zanona, and Peter Baker of the New York Times. Yet again, she brimmed with pure…

CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, in her live coverage of the inauguration of President Donald Trump, said: “I have to say, I’m looking at this crowd, I do not see many people of color. Does any -- does anybody else besides me observe that? I’m fascinated by why that is.” The implication, of course, is that Trump, despite getting a greater percentage of the black vote than any…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her Wednesday guest, National President of the American Federation of Government Employees Everett Kelley, think you are stupid. On The ReidOut, the duo reacted to President Donald Trump ordering the end of DEI offices across the federal government by claiming such moves represent an attack on “disabled veterans.”

While it lacked the schoolings NBC’s liberal journalists faced at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and longtime GOP hand Hogan Gidley or ABC’s degree of Biden apple polishing, CBS held its own during Monday’s Trump inauguration thanks to the pomposity and obsession with January 6 on the part of many of their lead anchors. NewsBusters slogged through the first nine hours of…

When the late night comedy shows took to the air on Monday to lament Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, three main themes emerged. The first was that Trump is going to be a national nightmare. The second was that they have gone all in on embracing former President Joe Biden’s “oligarchy” warnings. Finally, it was deemed ironic that Inauguration Day happened to fall on Martin Luther King…

MSNBC’s Morning Joe’s favorite presidential historian, Jon Meacham, joined another H-less Jon on Thursday when he appeared on Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart podcast. Meacham told Stewart that the fact that Donald Trump will be president again shows that America is still having problems with complying with the Declaration of Independence.

Historian Allan Lichtman may be the media’s favorite election prognosticator. Prior to November, he had correctly predicted nine of the last ten presidential elections correctly, only missing George W. Bush’s narrow 2000 win. Therefore, when he predicted a Kamala Harris victory, media giants, like…

As President-elect Donald Trump brings attention to the fact that NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers is basically just MSNBC with silly metaphors, show writer Amber Ruffin joined the Tuesday show to recall an incident several days prior where Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer’s husband, Bruce, did not shake Vice President Kamala Harris’s hand during her swearing-in photo-op. Instead of…

NBC senior reporter on all things internet, Brandy Zadrozny, joined MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Thursday’s edition of The 11th Hour to discuss Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to revise the company’s rules of what constitutes acceptable speech. Zadrozny was not there for subtlety or nuance as she suggested the door is now open for a Myanmar-style genocide.

New York Times columnist Charles Blow joined MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Thursday’s installment of The ReidOut to react to the reaction to the New Orleans New Year’s truck attack by an ISIS supporter that killed 14 people where he claimed that the big problem is that the attack was “one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic,” and that allows people to ignore the “really big…

New York Times reporter Richard Fausset hinted that the late President Jimmy Carter was a victim of Republican racism in “After Jimmy Carter Won the Presidency, Democrats Lost the South -- Mr. Carter witnessed a shift from what had been a solidly Democratic South to one that Republicans, supported by white voters and particularly evangelicals, came to dominate.”

The View’s Sunny Hostin is arguably one of the most racist personalities in the liberal media these days. She white people, particularly white women, are among her favorite hate objects. White women who marry black Republicans also get the brunt of her hatred. She does all this while also claiming it’s America writ-large who’s the truly racist ones.
