Second Trump inauguration

No dumb media hoax is complete until MSNBC’s resident bitter race arsonist jumps into the pile-on. Thus, Joy Reid has entered into the debunked and defamatory narrative suggesting that Elon Musk performed a Nazi salute during President Trump’s inaugural festivities.

NBC News senior business correspondent Christine Romans is already laying the groundwork for how the stupid media narrative will be spun if the supposedly stellar Biden economy nosedives: blame President Donald Trump.

CBS’s comedic duo of Stephen Colbert and Taylor Tomlinson repeated the dishonest talking point that Elon Musk did a Nazi salute at a Trump inaugural celebration on their respective Tuesday installments of The Late Show and After Midnight.

The returning Resistance Media have begun to report on the Trump Administration very much the same way they reported on the previous Trump Administration: with glaring omissions in service of a narrative. In this case, half-reporting on the initial executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.

PBS News's contempt for space entrepreneur Elon Musk, a relatively new but influential figure in President Donald Trump’s orbit, is resoundingly obvious. But PBS may have gone dangerously overboard in a 3:55 p.m. Inauguration Day post on “X” (which Musk happens to own) with a smear worthy of MSNBC at its worst, claiming “Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute…

With CBS Mornings freaking out about a number of matters related to Monday’s second inauguration of President Trump, the fervently anti-Trump partisans at ABC’s Good Morning America were apoplectic over the pardons of January 6 defendants to the point everything else was painted as either fringe or blurry.

In addition to their hostile interview of Secretary of State Marco Rubio about January 6 and two surprising segments about First Lady Melania Trump’s fashion at the inauguration and the evening balls, CBS Mornings made January 6 and President Trump’s pardons the most important takeaway of this new day in America plus a side of illegal immigrant sob stories.

Former President Joe Biden used his farewell address to warn about an “oligarchy” around President Donald Trump, and the media have responded by teaching such concerns as if they are an objective fact. Case in point: CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter joined Tuesday morning’s CNN News Central to react to Monday’s inauguration and dubbed it “the inauguration of the oligarchs.”…

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…

Another piece to the puzzle was added after news broke that the machine run by leftist billionaire George Soros was suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

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…

One thing that remains constant about the “legacy” media’s coverage of Donald Trump remains their willingness to push the dumbest of hoaxes and conspiracy theories in advancement of The Narrative. One of the latest such idiocies: the goofy Crowd Size Hoax.

In between live coverage of the signing of executive orders and the various inaugural galas, the cable channels tried to squeeze in some of their usual discussion fare. The outcomes of these went as one would expect.

Both before and after their brutal rhetorical beatdowns at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), NBC’s inauguration coverage paddled the struggle boat as, over the course of six-plus hours of post-ceremonies coverage, they voiced their own set of grievances over President Trump’s “searing,” “single most partisan,” “very dark” speech that’s put him at “risk” of “overstepping what…
