On Friday morning, the “big three” broadcast network newscasts treated the anonymously sourced Atlantic piece claiming President Trump called fallen U.S. soldiers “losers” and “suckers” as fact, huffing about how “explosive,” “staggering,” and “stinging” the allegations were that have put the President on “…

It’s a sickening double standard when the media won’t call out the politics of a murder suspect but will instead eagerly politicize the victim he admitted to killing.

Morning Joe Can't Admit: Kamala Was Blah-Mala

August 20th, 2020 7:40 AM

Kamala Harris laid an egg last night. In Morning Joe's opening segment, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist couldn't really find any words of praise for Harris' acceptance speech at the DNC convention.
