MSNBC Analyst: Trump's Sexual Insecurities Threaten to Kill Us All

Bozell & Graham Column: Joe Scarborough Goes Off the Deep End
In July, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough showily announced to Stephen Colbert on CBS that he was leaving the Republican Party. No one at the RNC flew a flag at half-mast. The announcement was at least a decade behind the reality. In 2006, he called President Bush an idiot. Last week, he did the same with Trump.

NBC, ABC Downplay the Size of Iranian Protests, CBS Questions Murders
The network coverage of the Iranian protests has been utterly abysmal.

Morning Joe: Trump Nominating Too Many ‘Young’, ‘White’, ‘Male’ Judges
On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, economic analyst Steve Rattner used a series of charts and graphs to deliver a supposedly straight, facts-oriented report about President Trump’s federal judicial nominations to date.
