NBC Frets Trump’s ‘Unifying Message’ Became ‘Grievances’, ‘Insults’

Though not as bombastic as ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s Today still made their point Friday about how they viewed President Trump’s Thursday speech at the Republican National Convention, crediting him for his vivid retelling of Saturday’s assassination attempt and the tribute to the late Corey Comperatore, then knocking him for “riffing” and “repeating...grievances,…

God’s Hand on Donald J. Trump

An inch. One inch, and President Donald J. Trump would be dead. One slight turn of the head. One slight turn of the head saved Donald J. Trump’s life. The fact that Donald J. Trump is alive today is a miracle. There is no other way to see it. His assassin had a clear line of sight. He was 135 meters from Trump. He got off multiple rounds.

PBS’s Capehart: Trump ‘Deified,’ I'm ‘Terrified’ of ‘We Love Trump'

PBS’s coverage of Night Four of the Republican National Convention again featured the Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart holding up the liberal end of the political analysis.

Maddow Sees 'Alt-Right' In Vance's 'Lord of the Rings' Fandom

There were plenty of outrageous hot takes from MSNBC during the Republican National Convention, but Rachel Maddow might have had the dumbest. On Tuesday, Maddow saw alt-right and possibly Aryan messaging in VP-nominee JD Vance’s Lord of the Rings-inspired venture capital firm.

ABC FREAK Over Trump’s ‘Dark,’ ‘Anti-Immigrant’ Speech, PUMMEL Biden

Like its competitors on CBS and NBC, ABC’s Good Morning America took time on Friday to get to former President Trump’s Republican National Convention speech and the hubbub surrounding President Biden’s cognitive and physical impairment thanks to the global Microsoft outage.

Comedy Shows Smear Republicans As Racist Cultists During RNC

It was a week of ridiculing Republicans for the men of late night comedy. From Monday to Thursday, the comedians attacked Republicans as racist, cult-like drones and told more jokes about VP-nominee JD Vance in one week than they have about current VP Kamala Harris all year.

Are Republicans Ready for Biden’s Counterattack?

Donald Trump has a lot of things to celebrate this week, but a foregone conclusion in November isn’t one of them. Joe Biden is down in the polls and losing the unwinnable war against time’s toll. But he’s nothing if not tenacious, and the president has a trick ready to turn Trump’s latest triumph — over an assassin’s bullet — into a political defeat. In his Oval Office remarks Sunday, Biden…

TEMP NOT LOWERED: MSNBC Claims Trump Win Will Lead to ‘Dictatorship’

When viewing MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention, one is led to wonder why leadership would sideline Morning Joe, albeit briefly, but not the insane asylum airing on prime-time. “Historian” Michael Beschloss’s assessment of President Trump’s acceptance speech only serves to intensify that wonderment.

Colbert Attacks 'Deeply, Psychotically Weird' RNC

CBS’s Stephen Colbert wrapped up his week of live reactions to the Republican National Convention early Friday morning by decrying the whole thing as “deeply, psychotically weird” because the party is trying to dismiss Donald Trump’s legal controversies as no big deal.

Post-Speech Roundup: Trump's a Narcissist Full of Lies and 'Unity' BS!

Staunch Republicans may have loved President Trump's long speech on Thursday night, but it's easy to suspect that the journalists watching it were going to go beyond skeptical, like on PBS: "The initial calls for unity quickly gave way to attacks on Democrats, to a litany of falsehoods, to a string of insults."
