John Heilemann

Wonder why so many lefty journalists have an outsized hero-complex? It’s because they believe they are all that stands in the way of the GOP’s “big, ugly hate machine” full of “demons” that are a worse “threat to democracy” than Osama bin Laden ever was. All those insane assertions and more were made by crazed cable hosts and pundits in the last month. The following are the most insane…

Appearing as a guest on Monday's Deadline: White House, MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann threw stones in the MSNBC glass house as he hypocritically slammed the GOP over Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene making an over the top comparison between wearing masks during the pandemic and the Holocaust, and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy so far not…

On Morning Joe, MSNBC analyst John Heilemann says that if Republicans denounce Florida Republican congressman Matt Gaetz, who is facing accusations about his personal life, they will be doing so only out of a "totally self-interested, purely cynical, public-relations driven approach" for which "they have no moral standing."

Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was the one who ordered COVID patients into nursing homes killing thousands, and it was he who allegedly put his hands on multiple women and sexually harassed more. But according to NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, it was former President Trump's fault that Cuomo was refusing to resign as pressure mounted and more allegations came out.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski rips Ted Cruz for staging a "photo op" of himself giving supplies to victims of the Texas freeze and power outages. But she has nothing but praise for AOC, who also was widely photographed giving out supplies in Texas.

It was another day of faux somberness Wednesday afternoon on MSNBC as Congress impeached President Donald Trump a week after some of his own supporters terrorized the U.S. Capitol. MSNBC used this second Trump impeachment as a front in its ongoing campaign to relabel tens of millions who think and vote differently as domestic terrorists.

Ahead of Tuesday’s results in the Georgia Senate runoff and Wednesday’s congressional certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election win, MSNBC hacks longingly wished for the “death” of the Republican Party and suggested it would go the way of the long-defunct Whig Party, which disbanded in the 1850s.

How do you know that CNN knows that President Trump won last night's debate? This morning, they were hoping that voters will forget all about the debate. And CNN did its best to distract people's attention with the unfolding horror show of new coronavirus cases.

Somebody call the SPCA: Joe Scarborough has yet again ridden a hobbyhorse into the ground! Regular readers of NewsBusters are only too familiar with Scarborough's tiresome habit of fixating on a word, and…

On Wednesday's Deadline: White House, MSNBC analyst and former Senator Claire McCaskill ripped President Trump as the "stupidest president" ever for granting Washington Post "legend" Bob Woodward 18 hours of taped interviews during an election year. That's an interesting take for a "news" network -- don't be an idiot and grant big access to a journalist!…

The following is a top 13 countdown of the most ridiculous outbursts from lefty network and cable journalists from the past two weeks.

The media will stop at nothing to slander cabinet members of the Trump administration as evil, political actors, even if their only sin is disagreeing with them. MSNBC's Morning Joe presided over this latest burning at the stake Wednesday, with Attorney General William Barr. Barr testified on Capitol Hill yesterday, but his responses generally disagreed with Democrats and MSNBC…

If it weren’t so serious, this would be hilarious. Way back - way way back --- in 1964 --- Columbia University historian Richard Hofstadter penned a quickly famous article for Harper’s titled The Paranoid Style in American Politics. Hofstadter said, in part, this, bold print supplied here for emphasis:

On Morning Joe, MSNBC's John Heilemann warned again that President Trump would formally declare "martial law" if that were the only way for him to remain in power. But now he insists no one can deny it!
