Race Issues

MSNBC’s freakout over the Trump Administration’s plans for the Smithsonian Institute continued on Wednesday’s All In as Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. asserted that the nation is in the midst of a “Second Lost Cause” movement that seeks to justify “the reassertion of white supremacy.”

Former CNN host Jim Acosta hates conspiracy theories unless, of course, he happens to be the one peddling them. On his Tuesday Substack podcast, Acosta mused, without evidence, that the Trump Administration could send ICE to polling stations to intimidate Latinos into not voting.

New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker joined Wednesday’s Chris Jansing Reports and unleashed, even by MSNBC’s standards, one of the most ridiculous reductio ad Putinum claims ever uttered on the network as he claimed the Russian dictator would “feel very comfortable” in Donald Trump’s America.

On Tuesday, the Trump Administration launched a review of select Smithsonian museums to “ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.” The eponymous host of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 was not happy about the move and claimed the move was insulting to…

On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish, speaking of President Trump's plan to clean up DC, says: "Talking about juveniles, people are one beat away from saying superpredators. It just feels familiar."

CBS’s Stephen Colbert kicked off his week of Democratic guests on Monday by welcoming Clinton-era Labor Secretary Robert Reich to The Late Show to promote his new memoir. During their conversation, neither man displayed an understanding of the proper definition of a tax cut, while Reich smeared former President Ronald Reagan for allegedly making the country less inclusive for women and black…

Stephen Colbert wouldn’t touch it. Nor would Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers or Jimmy Kimmel. “Saturday Night Live?” As they say in New York, fuhgeddaboudit!! It’s Black Lives Matter (BLM), the hard-Left group that had a cultural moment following George Floyd’s death.

CNN’s Victor Blackwell had two crazy takes as he hosted Saturday’s First of All. First, he claimed that the National Portrait Gallery not featuring a painting of a black, female transgender Statue of Liberty was some great affront to history, and secondly, he lamented that the Department of Agriculture is ending race-based farm grants.

Apple TV+’s Smoke, a gripping new procedural drama, currently ranks third on the platform for good reason. Stellar acting, sharp directing, and shocking twists hook viewers, making it a compelling watch. But, as with most Hollywood shows, it comes with a price. In this case, it’s tired anti-white male tropes.

Prime Video’s We Were Liars, adapted from E. Lockhart’s novel, has been trending in the top 5 on the platform. Its gripping plot and emotional twist deliver, but the “rich, white people bad” narrative sours the experience.

The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper rewrote history on Tuesday as he welcomed The Atlantic staff writer Thomas Chatterton Williams to Comedy Central to promote his new book. According to Klepper, it was conservative media that insisted on making Barack Obama “the black president,” not liberals who insisted that disagreeing with Obama was racist.

In a sports-heavy Monday segment, Washington Post columnist, ESPN commentator, and professor Kevin Blackistone declared on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House that the state of human rights in the United States is so bad, we are unfit to host the World Cup and the Olympics. Additionally, liberal lawyer Marc Elias attacked Major League Baseball for returning its All-Star Game to Atlanta after…

Remember former Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) who got censured for pulling the fire alarm in the Capitol Building as lawmakers prepared to vote to prevent a government shutdown? He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, paid a $1,000 fine and lost the next Democrat primary. He’s back. Bowman, appearing June 25 as a panelist on MSNBC, said, “The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and…

After riots at a California marijuana farm where ICE conducted an operation arresting 200 illegal immigrants, Los Angeles correspondent Carter Evans repeated on Friday’s CBS Evening News what someone he interviewed about the matter told him, mainly that “she feels like pretty much everyone with brown skin is a target.”
