During coverage of President Trump’s nomination of federal judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court on Wednesday’s NBC Today, the hosts and correspondents seemed to justify Democrats planning to block confirmation. In a report at the top of the morning show, Peter Alexander proclaimed: “Democrats vowing to hold up the pick....promising to filibuster any pick who isn't Merrick Garland, President…

NBC and ABC on Wednesday danced around explicitly explaining that liberal Democrats like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer previously supported Neil Gorsuch when he was up for an appeals court judgeship. Only CBS This Morning went beyond the bland notation of the now-Supreme Court nominee’s “unanimous” approval.

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's New Day, CNN political analyst Carl Bernstein slammed President Donald Trump's executive order limiting immigration from some Muslim countries as he called it "Trumpian bigotry masquerading as national security policy." A bit later, he laughably cited a prediction by New York Times columnist David Brooks that President Trump would fail to complete his term as…

Deficits matter … if there is a Republican in office. At least, according to The Washington Post. The Post’s Editorial Board criticized “the [government’s] reckless return to deficit spending” on Jan. 28, 2017. They warned “the country cannot borrow ever-increasing amounts [of money] without consequence” referring to President Donald Trump’s proposed economic plans and potential deficits. …

In an interview with President Bush’s former White House chief of staff Andy Card on Wednesday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer fretted that Republicans would change Senate rules to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch: “It's gonna take 60 votes for confirmation....Do you think it is possible, if this goes very badly, that Mitch McConnell in the Senate will do away with…

In a dramatic episode on Monday night, Quantico finally righted a colossal historical atrocity. They handed the White House to America’s first (unelected) female president. After watching terrorists murder his wife, President Todd resigns and hands the reigns to his far more qualified running mate, Vice President Claire Haas. But even before she can begin, Haas is besieged by doubters.

Throughout her eponymous MSNBC show on Tuesday night, Rachel Maddow bitterly aired her frustrations that “non-controversial” and “moderate” Judge Merrick Garland wasn’t elevated to the Supreme Court thanks to a “radical” decision by Republicans to hold out for a conservative like newly-appointed nominee Neil Gorsuch.

It shouldn’t be considered remarkable that all three broadcast networks offered a news story on the tens of thousands who came for the 2017 March for Life. But it is. Between the morning and evening shows together, they gave it almost 22 minutes of airtime. To illustrate how shocking that number is, consider that last year ABC gave the march 35 seconds of coverage. NBC ignored it altogether.…

As liberals around the country continued to rage over President Donald Trump’s not-a-travel-ban ban Tuesday evening, reporter Mark Phillips took the time on CBS Evening News to remind everyone that the people of Europe don’t care for our president either. “Not just the crowds that have poured onto the streets of Europe are angry with Donald Trump,” he reported, “The disenchantment has now reached…

Minutes after Donald Trump selected Judge Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, CBS on Tuesday labeled him a “predictable conservative” with “some controversial decisions.” NBC and ABC also deemed Gorsuch a “conservative.” In contrast, the networks in 2016 rushed to declare Barack Obama’s attempted replacement, Merrick Garland, a “moderate.” In the first 24 hours of that pick, ABC and NBC avoided…

How’s this for irony? The same day The Daily Beast wrote an article on journalism’s gullibility, they get duped into writing a report based on a tweet from the parody twitter account, “Reuter News Braek” (yes, even with the incorrect spelling of “break,” they still used this as their source of information), where they wrongly identified the Quebec Mosque killers. In his Sunday article, "What is…

On Monday's New Day on CNN, as liberal New York Times columnist Tom Friedman appeared as a guest, after CNN co-host Chris Cuomo brought up the White House statement for International Holocaust Remembrance Day that broke precedent and did not specifically mention "Jews" or "anti-Semitism," co-host Alisyn Camerota wondered if anti-Semitism at Breitbart News might be tied to the wording.

Following President Donald Trump announcing Judge Neil Gorsuch as his Supreme Court pick on Tuesday, MSNBC appeared flat-footed by the “traditional rollout” of Gorsuch with correspondent Ari Melber noting how the reality-television predictions didn’t hold true while Gorsuch was “elegant and broad.” Despite that praise from Melber, Chris Matthews predicted that Gorsuch’s fate will be determined by…

Hollywood entertainers really brought out the snark in anticipation of the president’s Supreme Court announcement.
