Russia invades Ukraine

With gas prices continuing to rise amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, NBC Nightly News committed a random act of journalism by calling out the reality that the Biden administration’s energy policies are doing nothing to give consumers some economic relief at the gas pump. Meanwhile, ABC’s World News Tonight failed to mention how ineffective the administration’s…

MSNBC’s Morning Joe decided on Wednesday to engage in comically dumb wishcasting about President Biden’s State of the Union address, insisting Tuesday’s speech was “brilliant,” “rallying,” a “return to normalcy” and “very unifying” as it showcased “the expanse of his personality in full blossom” and why Biden was made for this moment amid Russia’s war.

Nick Fondacaro and Kevin Tober joined me to discuss the live coverage of Biden's State of the Union address. CNN's Van Jones gushed "Uncle Joe is back," but other pundits like Chuck Todd felt the speech didn't hit right, and it won't "age well."

It’s Episode 27 of CensorTrack with TR. This week we talked about how Big Tech is blocking posts that report on the Russia/Ukraine conflict and censoring content that stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people … all while allowing the murderous President of Russia to post freely online.

Appearing on NBC’s Today show Wednesday morning, Ukrainian parliament member Oleksandra Ustinova slammed President Biden’s State of the Union address as “a total disappointment” in the midst of her country being “executed” by Russian forces. In addition to pleading for a NATO-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine, Ustinova also demanded “real sanctions” against Russia and Putin.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin tore into President Joe Biden for projecting major weakness in his foreign policy by placing “harsher sanctions” on American energy than on Russian energy amidst the war in Ukraine.

On Wednesday morning’s MSNBC Reports, Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor pushed the view of leftist Democrats who were unhappy that President Biden did not use his State of the Union address to tie Ukraine’s fight for national survival to the fight for democracy here at home.

Reacting Wednesday to President Biden’s State of the Union address from the night prior, the broadcast network mornings newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC largely decided to play White House stenographers in touting Biden’s “call[s] for unity” and focus “on common ground and not...partisanship.” It resulted, one network said, in cheers that were akin to American unity after 9/11.

NBC News was finally in tune with most of America Tuesday night after President Biden’s State of the Union address left them feeling unsure about the fate of Ukraine and confused by some of what was said on the House floor.

Immediately after Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds gave the GOP response to President Biden’s Tuesday night State of the Union address, CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash defended Biden from attacks from Reynolds on his Russia record.

CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger suffered from some short-term memory loss while reacting President Biden's Tuesday State of the Union address, claiming that she can't remember the last time a president received a bipartisan standing ovation because certainly former-President Trump never received one.

CNN didn’t waste any time heaping praise on President Biden for his State of the Union address on Tuesday night with Jake Tapper proclaiming his performance was “quintessential Biden” and Van Jones declaring that “Uncle Joe is back”

This is where the leftist media’s priorities lie. On Tuesday evening, while previewing President Joe Biden’s upcoming State of the Union address, both CBS’s Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt worried that Russian President Vladimir Putin could potentially “upstage” Biden during his speech by launching a “deadly attack” on Ukraine. 

As MRC’s Free Speech America noted Tuesday afternoon, DirecTV yanked RT America off its airwaves due to its role as Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s personal mouthpiece in the U.S. as he wages war against the innocent people of Ukraine. And, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, they made good on their promise, roughly 45 minutes after Axios’s Sara Fischer broke the news.
