With the completely un-newsworthy chyron “Democratic Donor Calling for Trump’s Impeachment” plastered across the screen, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle brought on liberal super-donor Tom Steyer so that she could ask him what options liberals had to get rid of President Trump, since Republicans “are not getting off” of “that crazy train.”

Tuesday’s Morning Joe almost immediately began with a complete freak-out over the Trump administration’s cabinet meeting on Monday. Over the course of the meeting, cabinet members took time to thank and praise the President for his leadership and vision. “That is just sick,” co-host Mika Brzezinski declared in a disgusted tone. Lover and fellow co-host Joe Scarborough eagerly followed the lead of…

The LGBT community is anything but monolithic—after all, its symbol is the rainbow. But when it comes to political ideology, Republicans often feel left out. While June is technically Pride Month, this year’s celebrations have focused more on resistance. And that, as NPR digital news intern Christianna Silva pointed out, has alienated many Trump supporters and right-leaning LGBT folks.

Brent Bozell on Tuesday condemned journalists for excusing and celebrating a play in New York that features the mock assassination of Donald Trump. The MRC President appeared on Fox Business and responded to the fact that CNN’s Fareed Zakaria called the play, in which a Trump lookalike is stabbed to death, “brilliant” and a “masterpiece.” 

Only rarely do media show an ounce of self-awareness, let alone self-criticism. Yet Jess Walter, writing for Quill, a publication from the Society of Professional Journalism, demonstrated more than an ounce of both in the magazine’s May/June 2017 issue. His satirical short story in Quill, ‘Payload’, features an encounter between a truck-driving conservative, Duane, and the moralistic Jay – a…

The June 12th episode of VH-1’s Daytime Divas, titled “Coma Bump,” took a perverse twist with a storyline about the Christian host, Heather, and her husband, Andrew. As noted in last week’s pilot episode, the character is portrayed as a less than perfect Christian, but the writers took it to a whole new level this week.

President Trump found himself, once again, at the receiving end of a high-profile lawsuit involving his business dealings on Monday. The Attorneys General of both the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia filed a suit claiming the Present was in violation of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which states that an office holder cannot receive payments or gifts from a foreign power. The…

There was civil unrest in Russia Monday, as anti-corruption protestors took to the streets all across the country during a national holiday celebration. Roughly 1,500 people were arrested for gathering to denounce their government. The White House came out strong and condemned Russia for cracking down on the peaceful protestors. All of the Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) reported on the…

The female co-hosts of ABC’s The View weekday program regularly get into arguments and often try to shout over each other, but Monday set a new standard when Jedediah Bila declared that former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey came off as a "coward" during his Senate testimony last week. “I don’t think he was lying,” Bila stated before noting that her issue was definitely with…

President Trump did not attend Sunday's international soccer match pitting Team USA vs. Mexico in Mexico City, but he was topic numero uno south of the border. Mexican fans made the game a forum on Trump, and they booed loudly and blew air horns during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. However, American media were much more exercised about "homophobic slurs" directed at the USA goalie than…

Tonight (Monday), CBS-affiliated Showtime begins The Putin Interviews, a four-night series of interview excerpts with Russian President Vladimir Putin, conducted by far-left film maker Oliver Stone who, judging by a previous series on Showtime, has an affinity for KGB-connected strongmen.

The New York Times mocks the conservative media for their “misinformational bubbles” (that’s media columnist Jim Rutenberg on Monday), but the Times bubble looked doubly reinforced for a Sunday Styles front-page puff piece on NBC reporter Katy Tur. The headline was "‘You Can’t Rattle Her’: Katy Tur’s rise at NBC mirrors that of the presidential hopeful who baited her at his rallies."

Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman appeared on MSNBC Live with Katy Tur to discuss the status of the President’s proposed immigration halt. Akerman, a respected legal mind, seemed to apply to the Supreme Court the bizarre charge of viewing cases as blank slates upon which history’s great injustices might be somehow repatriated, rather than the blind arbiter of constitutionality it was…
