All of a sudden what President Obama did over and over again while he was in office is considered “treason” if President Trump does it.On Thursday’s The View, an upset Joy Behar ranted that Trump barring U.S. press from a meeting with Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov Wednesday was tantamount to “treason” and should upset every American.

During their Wednesday evening broadcasts, the networks spent almost two-thirds of their Comey coverage (62…

In a hyperbolic segment for MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday, co-host Joe Scarborough went all in comparing President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey to the firing of U.S. Attorneys by Richard Nixon at the height of the Watergate scandal.

All the media could talk about Tuesday night was how President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

The New York Times is still treating FBI Director James Comey’s decision to reopen the case of Hillary Clinton’s emails as a leading factor in her loss. But the 7,500-word lead story in Sunday’s New York Times: “In Trying to Avoid Politics, Comey Shaped an Election – Behind-the-Scenes Handling of 2 Inquiries Thrust F.B.I. Into Center of Race” also contained a hidden “bombshell” that the Times…

The liberal media was overjoyed Thursday, by the fact that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes was recusing himself from his committee’s Russian influence investigation after he discussed evidence with the press.

The Sarin gas attack on Tuesday in Syria was one of the worst atrocities this generation has ever seen, but when it came to the U.S. fighting for those affected, all MSNBC’s maniacal hooligans Chris Matthews and David Corn could think of is how any military strikes would distract from the Russia investigations.
