Meet the Press

In the wake of its Ronna McDaniel fiasco, NBC News tries extra hard to prove just how “cohesive and aligned” they really are. Unfortunately, this now means “cohesive and aligned” with the fringe elements running the show at MSNBC and, by extension, the entire news operation.

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.

By “surprise”, of course I mean none whatsoever. Once again, the media have taken a quote from former President Donald Trump, stripped it of context, and forwarded a false narrative. In this case, the media took Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs against Chinese electric cars manufactured in Mexico, and falsely turned it into a threat of political violence unless he is elected. Ergo, The Bloodbath…

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.

During a heated back-and-forth on NBC’s “Meet The Depressed”, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) repeatedly took moderator Kristen Welker to task for disseminating the fake narrative that Robert Hur’s special counsel report cleared President Joe Biden of any criminal wrongdoing in the classified documents case.

As we've documented, there is an ongoing trend of Biden officials and surrogates who have been tasked with going before the cameras and stating that the president’s mental acumen and cognitive ability  are razor-sharp and without peer. The latest to engage in this ritual self-humiliation is former 2020 presidential candidate, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

Few moments in news media capture the incestuous relationship between corporate news media and Democratic machine apparatus as clearly as Jen Psaki’s lecturing of her copanelists (and the media) on NBC’s Meet the Press over how the Biden decline has been covered. 

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…

As (unfavorable) reaction to the just-dropped Senate-White House border bill continues to roll in, it is important to note the extent to which the drive-by media are doing the White House’s legwork by pushing this bill.
