NYT: Biden ‘Centrist Hoping to Break...Cycle of Partisan Obstruction'

Among the many electoral gifts the New York Times has bestowed on Joe Biden is the blessing of the president-elect’s presumed ideological “moderation,” or even “centrism.” Sometimes that label, used by the press to reassure on-the-fence voters that Biden would be a safe pick, is also used to pressure Biden into caving into the new wave of younger “progressives” percolating through the…

Maddow 2016 vs. Maddow 2020: Journalism Is Doomed! No, It’s Saved!

On Wednesday, the splashy profile on the front of the Washington Post "Style" section was a sugary profile of the latest socialist radical to win a seat in the House of Representatives, Cori Bush of Missouri.

CNN, MSNBC Let Cuomo Slam Trump Admin, Skip Over Sex Harassment

On Monday afternoon, as New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo made appearances on both MSNBC and CNN to promote his call for restrictions on air travel to and from the United Kingdom.
