Second Trump transition

In the nearly three hours of pre-inauguration coverage after Today, NBC pitched a few small fits over their party falling out of power, ranging from it being divisive that President Trump believes in there being only two genders (male and female) and opposing Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), and comparing Trump’s definition of “fairness” to that of a “toddler.”

Thursday’s CBS Mornings featured a welcome profile by co-host Tony Dokoupil on why President-Elect Trump dominated the male vote in the 2024 presidential campaign. Dokoupil did nothing to lampoon or even mock men of all stripes who flocked to Trump for a variety of reasons, including feelings of abandonment by the left and the 21^st century economy.…

At CBS’s Deface the Nation, moderator got more than she bargained for during a discussion over the appointment of Kash Patel to lead the FBI with her guest, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham absolutely schooled Brennan over her (and by extension the “legacy media’s) coverage of the now-debunked and discredited Russia Hoax.

On Saturday's episode of The Weekend, there was a discussion of the decision to move the inauguration inside given the frigid weather in DC. When Michael Steele wondered why the inauguration date couldn't be moved back to March, as it was in the past, Symone Sanders gave a concise answer: "the Constitution." Steele rudely responded: What was that? No, the inauguration was held in March right…

Washington Post economics columnist Catherine Rampell lashed out Thursday afternoon at SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly and blamed her for threats and ugly words being hurled her way after Kelly shelled her for smearing Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth as merely a “TV host” and thus tossing aside his 20 years of boots-on-the-ground military service. This, dear readers, is what one…

Over the course of the last four years, MSNBC has stood alone as the exemplar of what it means to be “Regime Media” during the Biden administration- no one comes close. In the waning days of President Joe Biden’s term, we get one last example of the network’s sycophancy.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough calls it an "insult" and a "lie" to claim that the US military has gone woke. He is very wrong, and we've got the proof.

With his favorite President set to return to office on Monday (and the source of a lifetime of memories for him), serial carnival barker and real-life cartoon character Jim Acosta closed his Thursday morning hour of CNN Newsroom by declaring the media “democracy” itself in fawning over President Biden’s farewell address lamenting the lack of trust in the news media.

“Donald Trump will be a tyrant!” So my neighbors claim. I live in Manhattan. Feel for me. Yes, Trump says wild things, like riffing about “terminating” parts of the U.S. Constitution. But I don’t think he means it. As Joe Rogan said to Trump when candidate Trump came on his show, “You say a lot of wild s—-!” In any case, podcaster Michael Malice, in my new video, says not to worry, “We have so…

On Thursday morning and after some cockamamie, tone-deaf reactions Wednesday night to President Biden’s farewell address, the major broadcast networks chose to double down with empty stenography for power with one network going to nonsensical links suggesting Biden could one day be compared to President George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson as one of the country’s…

CNN’s post-Biden speech analysis was decidedly much less sycophantic than MSNBC’s, by virtue of the fact that they had an actual conservative on the panel: Scott Jennings, who wasted absolutely no time laying waste both to Biden’s speech, and to his legacy.

Predictably, the prime time hosts at MSNBC oohed and aahed over President Joe Biden’s farewell address with a verve normally seen emanating from television production studios in Pyongyang. But in this case, they went above and beyond their customary cheerleading. They also worked hard to bolster the post-speech narrative of the perils of a Trump-adjacent oligarchy.

ABC, CBS, and NBC broke in Wednesday night for President Biden’s farewell address and, while they were never in total awe like they were with Barack Obama, they still showed their stripes in cheering the “advocate for working people” giving “very personal” “speech for the history books” and delivering an “extraordinary” message about the decline of “fact-checking” and an “oligarchy...that…

Wednesday afternoon brought us the final Biden White House press briefing and, by her own count, the 306th featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. It featured Jean-Pierre emotionally patting herself on the back, plenty of unanswered questions (mostly stemming from the monumental Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal), the final Jacqui Time, and even Jean-Pierre doing her own…
