Meet the Press

MSNBC, the “news” outfit on which the Rev. Al Sharpton has a show, briefly hired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, at $300,000 per year, to serve as an on-air pundit. Why did the rabidly anti-Trump, anti-Republican network make her the offer?

From NBC's Meet the Press to MSNBC's Morning Joe, the liberal bubble is in a furious revolt against ex-RNC boss Ronna McDaniel joining their team as a commentator. They want her fired before she begins. But they're all for ideological diversity....yeah, right.

Morning Joe calls on NBC News to fire Ronna McDaniel as a political analyst, and vows to never have her on the show. 

Internal liberal outrage boiled over into an on-air struggle session on Meet the Press. NBC just hired Ronna McDaniel immediately after she was removed as Republican National Committee leader, and so moderator Kristen Welker punched away at McDaniel for 20 minutes, and when that was finished, they had a roundtable about the horror of NBC's hiring.

It's clear that NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker has two modes of operation: Democrats get polite questioning, often about internal party matters, while Republicans get hammered with rough questions and predictably interrupted with bickering. There was a dramatic contrast on Sunday between Welker's polite approach to Rep. Adam Schiff and her incessant bickering with Sen. Lindsey…

On NBC’s Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker’s big interview was with Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, which took up more than 17 minutes in the hour, with around 25 questions…and not a single question was focused on President Biden or the Democrats.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker surprised us by asking California Gov. Gavin Newsom in which week abortion could be limited. He implied zero limits...while he attacked Republicans as extreme. Sadly, it turned out that clip was in the full interview on YouTube, but it was left on the cutting-room floor when it came to NBC's Sunday show.

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report and President Biden’s disastrous press conference addressing the report’s findings were the topics of discussion that dominated NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. Amid moderator Kristen Welker's sparing with Biden administration and campaign officials on the President’s mishandling of classified documents, she also surprisingly pressed them on whether…

On Sunday's Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker interviewed radical-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and at the end, gently questioned whether it's fair for her colleague Rashida Tlaib and other leftist friends of hers to accuse Biden of genocide. 

On both NBC and ABC’s Sunday political affairs shows, there was significant time devoted to the matter of President Biden’s age and whether he is mentally able to conduct the affairs of the presidency in a theoretical second term.

Across the dial, Sunday political affairs shows took it upon themselves to attempt to make GOP members of Congress squirm in response to statements made by former President Donald Trump. This collective drive-by attempt failed miserably, hitting nothing but air.

2024 is bound to be not only one of the most monumental years in American history, it ventures to be among the most chaotic. So, before we dive head first into 2024 at midnight, let’s look back one last time at 2023 to look at what stories you, the readers, visited the most on NewsBusters. As always, we can’t thank you enough for not only your readership, but also financial support. Amid a…

On NBC's Meet the Press, New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin said "find me the Biden White House adviser who's going to go to the boss and say, "We need a new strategy about your son." NBC White House reporter Kelly O'Donnell said "There's isn't one." Martin added, "They’re not going to have that conversation."

On Sunday, NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker displayed an interview taped on Saturday with Gov. Ron DeSantis where she repeatedly demanded the candidate denounce Donald Trump for his use of the term "vermin" to describe communists, fascists, and "radical left thugs" in America. She asked six times to try and force an answer. DeSantis said he wasn't playing the media game on this…
