Iowa

On Tuesday’s installment of MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, the eponymous host defended the media’s decision to project Donald Trump as the winner of the Iowa Caucus even before all precincts and started voting by claiming voters couldn’t change what they were going to do. Meanwhile, correspondent Vaughn Hillyard blamed modern technology for the media’s decision as if it was somehow…

Rachel Maddow often announces MSNBC won't air live speeches from Donald Trump because "There is a cost to us, as a news organization, of knowingly broadcasting untrue things." But that never stops the Madcow speeches about the "rise of fascism in this…

The doors had not yet closed at caucus locations across the state of Iowa, but MSNBC had already entered into the “maligning the voters” portion of the program. Joy Reid, the network’s flagship racebaiter, decided that this was a good opportunity to dump on white evangelicals voting for Donald Trump.

Monday’s CBS Mornings went to disgusting lengths to smear Americans who are deeply concerned about the ongoing crisis at the southern border, the unfettered flow of illegal immigrants, and the consequences of inaction, such as crime and drugs. Over nearly 10 minutes, the co-hosts blasted millions of Americans for holding “unsettling” views that don’t object to President Trump’s belief…

The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning news shows on Monday ahead of the Iowa caucuses to cheer Nikki Haley as their preferred alternative to former President Trump, boasting of her “new momentum” and desire “to work with Democrats” has “resonate[d]” with Republicans, independents, and “even Democrats” who are considering voting for President Biden in…

Sunday political talk shows are supposed to be, I’m told, a place where political affairs are talked about both for and by the smart set. Today, one of the smart set appears to have been confused by a Trump-opposed Republican stating that he will nonetheless vote for Donald Trump if he is the 2024 GOP nominee, rather than vote for Joe Biden.

A suspect identified as Dylan Butler allegedly entered Perry High School in Iowa and shot multiple individuals before killing himself. The extent of the victims' injuries remains unclear. Butler, thought to be a senior at the school, reportedly posted suspicious content on TikTok hours before the shooting and is linked to the LGBTQ community. His mental state and motive remain the subject of…

The Satanic Temple set up an altar in the Iowa Capitol, creating controversy. The display, which features Satanic symbols and tenets, was approved through the proper channels. Iowa's Governor Reynolds found it objectionable but called for prayer as a response, citing free society values. State Representative Sherman deemed it unconstitutional and asked for its removal. Public reaction has been…

This is is a win in the fight against anti-American values.

Hooray! It looks like Iowa is actually starting to care about its children!

On Wednesday, NBC’s Today was beside itself as the Iowa legislature approved a six-week limit on abortions with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, so NBC naturally threw a pit party for Hawkeye State baby killers in, bemoaning the new “battle lines” and “intense debate” resulting from the move.

Washington Post reporter Annie Gowen mourned "Iowa has veered so far to the right" that it's no longer "the centrist place that chose Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012....A joke among statehouse reporters is that Iowa is becoming the “Florida of the North” — without the beaches."

She's not much of a VP, but she's unquestionably the Queen of Cringe. Vice President and gaffe-maker Kamala Harris strengthened her supposed credentials during an embarrassing visit to the Howard University men’s basketball locker room Thursday after the Bison absorbed a thorough beating from the Kansas Jayhawks. She gave March Madness another maddening moment, too.

The Daily Beast offered a reminder Thursday of how there’s no bottom to their juvenile but slimy reporting as reporters Jake Lahut and former conservative-turned-real-life-Randall Zachary Petrizzo offered an audition for the grocery store tabloids in “The GOP Campaign Trail Is Already Getting DeSantis-Proofed.” The big scoop? Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) isn’t a social butterfly and allegedly…
