Trump documents indictment

ABC News’s conspiracy mill (a.k.a The View) was firing on all cylinders on Tuesday as moderator Whoopi Goldberg seemed to suggest that bail rules were newly invented to keep former President Trump out of jail before his classified documents trial, or at least manipulated. Despite the fact that it was federal prosecutors who decided not to push for Trump to pay a bail amount, Goldberg…

Tuesday morning’s The View featured the ABC co-hosts being proponents of several conspiracy theories about former President Trump’s classified documents case, particularly pushing the debunked assertion that he intended to sell them.

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour recently interviewed former President Barack Obama for an hour-long special that aired Thursday night that carried the pretentious subtitle Will Democracy Win?

During NBC’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd landed a sitdown interview with former Vice President and current presidential candidate Mike Pence.

A humorous moment took place Sunday during ABC’s This Week when co-moderator Jonathan Karl struggled to report a poll by state-affiliated media outlet National Public Radio which showed former President Donald Trump’s favorable ratings increasing among Republicans since his indictment. Trump went from 68 percent favorable prior to the indictment to 76 percent. It’s unclear whether…

Here was the headline this last week in The New York Times:

On Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour was joined by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, whom she described as “an award-winning historian and bestselling author, focusing on the dangers of authoritarianism.” Both host and guest went on an extended rant on the hypothetical threats of political violence ginned up by Trump supporters, or as Amanpour breathlessly put it, “…

Trying to explain why Donald Trump held onto classified documents after leaving the presidency, Morning Joe describes him as a pathological, weird, bizarre, criminal hoarder, similar to John Nash, the schizophrenic mathematician who was the subject of the movie, A Beautiful Mind.
