Today we present the WORST OF 2021: The Damn Those Conservatives Award. 

MSNBC’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. Especially on the topic of the Covid-19 pandemic and who's to blame for surging cases and rising deaths. During Monday's edition of Deadline: White House, fill-in host John Heilemann stepped up to the defense of President Biden, suggesting he's "not responsible for this." Meanwhile, in 2020, he blamed President Trump for everything.

Professor and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude Jr. was not happy with Sen. Joe Manchin's announcement that he is a no on the so-called Build Back Better bill, claiming him to be "a kind of relic of a previous era," who is indifferent to people suffering while he lives luxuriously. 

Joe Scarborough didn't name names. He wants, after all, to be able to walk through the MSNBC cafeteria without being hit in the back of the head with a kale-quinoa salad. But the Morning Joe host did take repeated shots this morning at MSNBC colleagues like Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid who last night blamed McAuliffe's loss on Youngkin focusing on Critical Race Theory even though, they claimed…

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace has only one fact check on PolitiFact – a “Pants on Fire” for suggesting Trump is “talking about exterminating Latinos.” But she certainly mangled the facts on Thursday’s Deadline: White House, claiming Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin is an “insurrectionist” who “wouldn’t say” whether he would have voted to certify the 2020 election. Fact…

When it came to coverage of the Andrew Cuomo sexual-harrassment scandal, it was a tale of two networks this morning. MSNBC's Morning Joe devoted its entire first half-hour to covering the story in all its lurid detail. And CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who advised brother Andrew during the scandal, was referenced no fewer than nine times. Meanwhile, over on CNN's New Day, the Cuomo segment was…

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 speaking…

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.
