John Heilemann

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! 

To test the paranoid waters of the Left as the general election approaches in November, look no further than MSNBC's Morning Joe. Their latest excursion into Trump derangement came to us on Tuesday morning courtesy of John Heilemann who wove a wacky new conspiracy theory. 

At least 20 times during Morning Joe's opening half-hour, Joe Scarborough mentions "the Biden Plan," a reference to an op-ed in USA Today published in January to which Biden's byline was affixed, with his recommendations for addressing the coronavirus. Scarborough repeatedly begs President Trump to adopt "the Biden Plan." 

On Morning Joe, MSNBC's John Heilemann calls Joe Biden "culturally conservative." This despite Biden's support for abortion on demand and federal funding of abortion. Biden also gets high marks from liberal groups on other cultural issues, and very low marks from conservative groups. 

Less than an hour before news broke that the FBI found no evidence of a hate crime against NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, MSNBC's John Heilemann and Eddie Glaude were lamenting those conservatives who had questioned whether the official story that someone had hung a noose in Wallace's garage was authentic.
