NewsBusters Podcast: The Elites Explode Before Tucker's Putin Gabfest
Tucker Carlson announced he's in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin. Elitists like Bill Kristol and Adam Kinzinger exploded in anger at the "traitor." Journalists have been known to interview anti-American tyrants before, so what gives?
MSNBC Suggests Supporting Israel Is Racist, Akin To Russia
For her Friday show, MSNBC’s Joy Reid launched a wildly anti-American and anti-Israel segment where she could hardly contain her excitement that South Africa was “standing up” to the West at the International Court of Justice as it accuses Israel of genocide. Guest and HuffPost senior diplomatic correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed was even more wild as he suggested support for Israel was racist…
The Bold & the Beautiful…& the Pro-Hamas: This Week at WH Briefings
With President Biden out and about to start the week, White House press briefings didn’t kick off this week until Wednesday and continued on Thursday, leaving plenty of space for questions from the left bashing Israel, the New York Post’s Steven Nelson and Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann stumping Biden flacks Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby, and, of course, Doocy Time on Hunter…
HYSTERICAL: Chris Hayes Fabricates A New Russian Collusion For 2024
To the hammer, everything looks like a nail. If you are a conspiracy-theorizing MSNBC anchor, everything is going to look like the Russia Hoax. Case in point, Chris Hayes’ weird Russia Hoax tie-in towards the end of his rant on the GOP’s insistence that border security reforms be a part of any aid package to Ukraine.
ABC Mad At Lack of “Hero’s Welcome” For Zelenskyy, GOP Border Demands
As you may already know, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Washington, at President Joe Biden’s request, in order to lobby for additional U.S. military assistance (shorthand: taxpayer money) in its ongoing war against Russia. The GOP’s attachment of border reforms as a precondition to any further outlays of taxpayer dollars in Ukraine seems to have infuriated the media, if this…
NBC’s Guthrie Actually Presses WH on Accountability for Ukraine Aid
Continuing her pattern of grilling Biden officials, NBC’s Today co-host Savannah Guthrie did the same on Tuesday in pressing the National Security Council’s John Kirby for specifics echoed by Republicans — instead of merely scoffing at them — on why Congress should grant billions of additional dollars to Ukraine in its war against Russia. Guthrie eventually pivoted to a series of…
Alberta Compares Trump, Evangelical Supporters to Putin
The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta took his book tour to the Tuesday edition of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip where he warned that Evangelical Christians who support Donald Trump are not that different than Vladimir Putin.
Israel’s Lesson for 2024: A Liberal Crackup
Conventional wisdom says voters don’t care about foreign policy. Nearly two years into Europe’s largest conflict since World War II, the conventional wisdom seemed to be right. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had little effect on the race for the GOP presidential nomination and opened no room for a challenger to Joe Biden among the Democrats. But the butchery Hamas perpetrated against Israeli…
Nets FREAK Over ‘Hardline,’ ‘Hard-Right,’ ‘Staunch’ Speaker Johnson
House Republicans were finally able to elect a new House speaker on Wednesday afternoon, selecting Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) to fill a 22-day vacancy. Not surprisingly, Johnson was met with a torrent of disgust and scorn on the Wednesday night network newscasts with ABC, CBS, NBC blasting Johnson as a “hardline,” “hard-right,” “ultra-conservative” who’s “staunchly anti-abortion” and “…
CNN And MSNBC Absurdly Compare Israel to Russia
According to CNN, Rula Jebreal is a “journalist and foreign policy analyst,” but as a Friday appearance on CNN This Morning proved, such analysis should not be taken too seriously as she compared Israel to Russia.
CNN's Tapper Compares Israel's Defense to Russian War Crimes
It’s obvious that Jake Tapper doesn’t understand how war works. Nor does he understand the difference between a nation defending itself and a nation committing war crimes. This all became evident Sunday during CNN’s State of the Union when Tapper interviewed Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan and complained that Israel was forced to shut off the water and power supply in…
This Again? Doocy Calls Out KJP for Blaming Rising Crime on GOP
On Tuesday afternoon, the Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy wasn’t having it as the ever-inept White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reverted back to a years-long, cartoonish, pants-on-fire fable that Republicans are the true anti-cops, defund-the-police party in light of Monday night’s carjacking of Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) in the Navy Yard section of Washington D.C.
ABC, CBS, NBC Scold House GOP for Holding Up More Ukraine Aid
On Thursday, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a visit to Washington D.C. to meet with President Joe Biden and congressional leadership to ask for more money to fight off Russia. Despite billions already spent and earmarked for the Ukraine effort, the three evening news broadcasts scolded House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his Republican members for being reluctant to spend even more…
WATCH: NBC Hammers Blinken on Giving Iran Billions, Ukraine Funding
NBC’s Today co-host Savannah Guthrie has developed a surprisingly strong track for grilling Biden administration officials when they make the rounds of the broadcast network morning news shows, particularly on foreign policy. Wednesday’s show featured at least the seventh installment as she respectfully hammered Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Iran, Ukraine, and the alliance…
