Second Trump transition

The Regime Media are stepping over each other to see who can offer the most sycophantic coverage of the legacy of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, who passed away yesterday at the age of 100. It appears that a frontrunner has emerged.

After 38 years, Univision’s longtime anchor Jorge Ramos recently stepped away from the anchor desk and sailed off into the unknown. His career at Univision has certainly come to a close, but as we see in a recent column, his Trump Derangement rages on.

Watching MSNBC the past few days, you’d have heard a cacophony of journalists insisting that democracy was already being supplanted by “oligarchy,” suggesting a handful of super-rich villains are on the verge of taking over.

CNN keeps stamping on their sour grapes over the Trump victory. In a CNN This Morning segment on corporate donations to the Trump inauguration, host Danny Freeman touted how The Wall Street Journal  "identified at least 11 companies and trade associations who are backing the inauguration, despite once saying they would not donate to him after the January 6th…

The horrific murder of a woman on the New York City subway, by involuntary immolation at the hands of an illegal migrant, has shocked the nation while going almost unreported on the “legacy” networks. Today NBC Nightly News broke the ice, leaving ABC Whirled News Tonight as the lone network holdout.

The Regime Media, with just weeks remaining in the Biden presidency, appear uncertain as to how to cover one of his big legacy items: the commutation of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates. Evening news coverage ranged from treating it as an afterthought to making it all about Biden. 

Christmas may be upon us but politics rests for no one, as we see on CNN State of the Union. Host Dana Bash once again tries to push the tired “King Elon” narrative but CNN commentator Scott Jennings was there to quickly and expeditiously shut it down.

Right on the heels of PolitiFact declaring President-elect Donald Trump’s line about immigrants eating dogs and cats as the “Lie of the Year,” CBS Saturday Morning profiled legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, suggesting they would somehow suffer because of Trump’s promised mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

After the House on Friday night voted to advance a massive spending package and avoid a government shutdown, CNN’s hosts and anchors targeted Elon Musk as the instigator of the “chaos,” “panic” and “madness” because he “threw a grenade” and “torpedoed” the backroom deal reached earlier in the week.

Now that the coast is (largely) clear, the liberal media and their Biden administration sources have increasingly come out of the woodwork to sound off on the President’s reportedly paper-thin mental fitness to have fully served the last four years. With 50 sources, Thursday’s Wall Street Journal item was devastating, but of no concern to ABC, CBS, and NBC on their flagship newscasts…

On Morning Joe, New Republic editor Michael Tomasky blames tne "right-wing media" for the public's approval of Trump's transition.  He singles out Rupert Murdoch for particular opprobrium. Tomasky is nostalgic for the days when there was "common civic agreement about basic morality in public life." Translation: when the liberal media set the agenda.

The Regime Media went into full meltdown mode over the death of the 1500-page cromnibus bill that went down in flames once DOGE chairs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy became aware of some of the bill’s provisions. D.C. media reacted at the very un-D.C. pressure placed upon the cromnibus with equal parts shock and horror.

CNN host Dana Bash put her pettiness on full display during Tuesday’s Inside Politics as she took issue with President-elect Trump quipping about how “In the first term, everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend.” While the rest of her panel of liberal journalists were able to admit things were “going his way,” Bash felt the need to fact-check what she…

Part of the reason that there is a crisis of confidence in the media is because of the sense of absolute moral certitude with which they look down upon anyone who strays from the preordained consensus, even as they themselves spit out active disinformation. As CNN’s Abby Phillip demonstrates, sometimes these efforts fail hilariously.
