Russia invades Ukraine

Making his first appearance during a White House Q&A since March 10 (when he asked Jen Psaki whether President Biden owns an electric car), Fox News’s Peter Doocy went toe-to-toe with Biden Monday over numerous statements the latter made during last week’s European excursion that drew condemnations from international leaders and White House walkbacks.

Reacting Monday to President Biden’s off-the-cuff comments Saturday that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power,” CNN’s New Day featured three analysts/pundits who had all decided that not only was it not that big of a deal, but it was proof of Biden’s strength and level of advanced strategic knowledge.

Well that didn’t age well. Over 30 years ago, CBS compared newly independent states in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union to annoying brats running away from home. Of course, the bizarre commentary came from the late Andy Rooney. Rooney began, “Who would have thought a year ago that the 15 states in the Soviet Union would decide to split up?” 

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi used his Saturday show to ponder if Ukrainians fleeing the war zone in their country benefit from being white Christians while Syrians and Afghans do not.

Unlike ABC, CBS Mornings on Friday actually called out the Biden administration’s flip flopping over whether Russian sanctions work or don’t. ABC’s Good Morning America, however, pretended like Joe Biden hasn’t repeatedly contradicted his own White House on the issue. 

On Thursday night's episode of MSNBC's All In, host Chris Hayes spent the opening segment of his show trying to downplay the threat Al-Qaeda posed to the United States and the world in an attempt to make the case that the threat to the global order is made by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hayes also suggested that former President Donald Trump is a threat to democracy just like…

During the evening news coverage of President Joe Biden's press conference following the emergency NATO summit in Brussels, ABC's World News Tonight completely ignored Biden's backtracking on the purpose of the Russian sanctions.

President Biden flip-flopped during his Thursday press conference in Brussels when he declared that sanctions were never meant to deter Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine despite constant proclamations from the administration to the contrary. On The Lead, CNN chief political analyst Susan Glasser reacted to Biden’s dishonesty by talking about former President Trump.

During a Thursday press conference following an emergency NATO summit in Brussels to address the war in Ukraine, President Biden was pressed by CBS News correspondent Christina Ruffini on the fact that economic sanctions failed to deter Russian dictator Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine.

Americans over the last month have been enduring painful, skyrocketing gas prices. The impacts are echoing out to all parts of the economy and squeezing already stressed wallets. But if you watched the morning and evening network newscasts, you would think almost all the blame for this falls on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Joe Biden?

During a break in day two of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings on Tuesday, CBS News special coverage laughably tried to claim that the left-wing Supreme Court nominee “almost sounded like a conservative” as she answered questions from lawmakers. Later in the discussion, there was fretting over the war in Ukraine being a “distraction” from Jackson’s “historic moment.”

As Ukrainians fight to preserve their democracy, PBS’s Christiane Amanpour declared it necessary on her Friday show to likewise preserve democracy at home against those would rather seek to install some sort of autocracy.

New York Times reporter Jonathan Weisman is trying hard to portray the Republican Party as extremist, or at least hypocritical, concerning the Russian assault on Ukraine. He wrote “Republicans, Once Harsh Ukraine Critics, Pivot to Strong Support," suggesting "the bulk of the Republican Party [is trying] to get on the right side of history amid a brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine." So…

On Sunday morning China's Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang sat down for an interview with CBS's Face the Nation anchor Margaret Brennan, and it did not go well for Gang.
