The 11th Hour

On Thursday’s episode of The 11th Hour, MSNBC showed yet again the extent of their lack of self-awareness. Host Stephanie Ruhle used a discussion with author Ryan Holiday as an occasion to weaponize classical Stoic philosophy, and the memory of the second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, for the purposes of the 21st-century left-wing media’s political hang-ups. 

MSNBC seems to have found their latest outlet for their Trump-bashing fixation in the far-fetched conspiracy theory that the president’s recent tariff impositions were all a setup for insider trading beneficial to him and his close associates. On Thursday’s episode of The 11th Hour, host Stephanie Ruhle fleshed out this idea on the spot, based on the flimsiest of evidence, and refused…

If any more proof was needed of how un-self-aware MSNBC really was, Charles Coleman Jr. rose to the occasion while filling in for Monday night’s The 11th Hour. To discuss a reported national security breach of the Trump administration, Coleman ostensibly interviewed Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA.), but in fact just let Swalwell mouth off at will, while completely ignoring the fact…

MSNBC continued their never-ending obsession with every little action of the Trump administration Tuesday, and, true to form, they weren’t squeamish about throwing around groundless accusations of foul play. On The 11th Hour that night, Stephanie Ruhle hosted a panel which discussed Trump’s recent termination of two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission, and the…

MSNBC doled out some characteristically fractured wisdom on Wednesday’s The 11th Hour. Marc Dunkelman of Brown University’s Watson Institute blamed progressives for bringing the second Trump administration on themselves, claiming they had tied their own hands by impeding government power through no other means than, ironically enough, exercising government power. A revisionist history…

MSNBC’s Monday edition of The 11th Hour could not hide their displeasure that Republicans were forcing them to talk about the competitive integrity of women’s sports. Host Stephanie Ruhle claimed that conservative concerns don’t “have any evidence,” and The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser claimed it was “very painful” to have to spend time discussing the issue.

MSNBC’s staggering lack of self-awareness was in rare form Thursday. That night on The 11th Hour, Marty Baron, former executive editor of The Washington Post, opined on the Post’s recent espousal of personal liberty and free market views. Baron was outraged that the paper had taken positions he happened to dislike, and called the move “undemocratic,” suggesting,…

On Wednesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle interviewed the brothers Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas, hosts of the MeidasTouch podcast. Ruhle took pains to present MeidasTouch as a non-partisan podcast put together by three ordinary brothers, but neglected to mention that the organization was actually a massive, left-wing super PAC, with a long history of…

MSNBC continued what has become little more than a daily repackaging of the same old vitriol against the new administration, and especially Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), on Tuesday’s episode of The 11th Hour. On a panel hosted by Stephanie Ruhle, former GOP Congressman David Jolly went off on a, by now, perfectly predictable tirade against what he…

On Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle officiated over yet another session of commiseration about the actions of the new administration, with the usual heavy emphasis on Elon Musk and DOGE. Joining her was Reed Galen, author of The Home Front on Substack, who –without evidence – accused the administration and Musk, with media complicity, of leaning on…

MSNBC may have taken their self-assured and self-righteous obliviousness to their own shortcomings to a whole new level of irony on Wednesday night’s episode of The 11th Hour, The show’s discussion panel railed against their perception of a trend of mass-misinformation by non-mainstream media sources, but seemed quite oblivious to very serious defamation charges pending against them…

On Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, a panel hosted by Stephanie Ruhle expressed their regret, dismay, and indignation at the implosion of public confidence in established, mainstream media outlets, such as their own. In typical fashion for them, they pinned all the blame on such favorite bogeymen as President Trump and Elon Musk, and showed no self-awareness of the…

MSNBC’s ongoing fixation on Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has shown no signs of abating. On Monday night’s episode of The 11th Hour, a panel hosted by Stephanie Ruhle continued what seems to have become a nightly ritual of railing against Musk and DOGE, and casually alleged, without any evidence, that DOGE’s actions could cause America to default on its…

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle has been continuing her play-by-play daily attacks on the new Trump administration, but as usual she seems to be focusing heavily on her disdain for the (in her view) stupid, selfish, and heartless ordinary Americans who voted in the current administration. On Wednesday night’s episode of The 11th Hour, she hosted a panel featuring Philip Bump of The…
