MSNBC Baselessly Accuses Trump of ‘Self-Dealing’
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, Professor Team Up, Try to Revise History on Dem Love of Big Gov
MSNBC doled out some characteristically fractured wisdom on Wednesday’s The 11th Hour.

A revisionist history…

Agitated MSNBC Finds It 'Very Painful' GOP Is Defending Women's Sports
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.

MSNBC’s Fractured Logic: ‘Free Expression’ a Threat to Free Expression
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,…

MSNBC Boosts Liberal Super PAC as Non-Partisan ‘Pro-Democracy’ Podcast
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.

MSNBC Pushes Baseless Corruption Smears of ‘Trump/Musk Administration’
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…

MSNBC Obliviously Bemoans ‘Right-Wing Media Machine’
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.

Despite Defamation Suit, MSNBC Bloviates About ‘Big and Garish Lies’
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…

MSNBC Bemoans Loss of Trust in 'Legitimate Newsrooms' Like 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.

MSNBC: DOGE Could ‘Literally Cause Global Financial Panic’
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…

'Lost Our Empathy Gene': MSNBC’s Contempt for the American People
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…

‘Every Night’: MSNBC Seems to Have Found a New OBSESSION in Elon Musk
On Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle picked up where she had left off the previous night in vitriolically attacking Elon Musk and his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The 11th Hour’s Post-Inaugural Pity Party ‘Therapy Session’ Never Ends
Ever since the inauguration two weeks ago, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle has apparently had little else to do with her time but complain bitterly about virtually every step the new Trump Administration took. During Monday night’s airing of The 11th Hour, she and former GOP staffer Reed Galen, who is now president of The Union (an apparent subgroup of The Lincoln Project) and host of The…

Liberal Podcaster Says Trump's Inauguration Speech Was Impeachable
Progressive comedian and podcaster John Fugelsang joined the Friday installment of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle to claim that President Donald Trump’s inauguration speech was an impeachable offense, presumably because Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg now supports him, and urged Democrats to file impeachment articles every day to show Democratic activists “we’re doing something…
