MS NOW (formerly MSNBC)

MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle became the latest media personality on Tuesday to express hope that the current pandemic might present an opportunity to enact left-wing policies. Speaking with Bernie Sanders, Ruhle asked, "Then is there -- maybe I sound romantic, but is there an opportunity to create at a time like this a better, smarter, more inclusive capitalism?"

On her MSNBC show, Nicolle Wallace tees up Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell by asking him what could be done to prevent the Trump administration from firing inspectors general. Replies Swalwell: "We have to have an ankle monitor on this president. This is the worst possible time for a serial offender like him to be running around unsupervised."

On Tuesday's All In show, MSNBC contributor and disgruntled former Republican Steve Schmidt was full of hyperbole as he decried Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Jeanine Pirro as "spectacularly nuts," and incorrectly claimed that one is more likely to die of coronavirus in the U.S. than in any other country. 

Keir Simmons joined Andrea Mitchell on her Tuesday MSNBC show to report on the latest developments surrounding the World Health Organization, President Trump, and China. During which, he argued that the to the rest of the world it appears that the United States is "just criticizing," while China is "making proposals" to the consternation of U.S. allies.  

Hair-sniffing aside, what are the two biggest strikes against Joe Biden? 1. He's old, and 2. he's losing it mentally. So in a pathetically transparent attempt to play defense, Morning Joe today attacked President Trump for being...old, and losing it mentally.

Proving just how juvenile the network can be when it comes to personal insults against Republicans, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday appeared delighted at Nancy Pelosi’s attacks on Donald Trump’s weight, cheering that “the country has a new straight talker.” Rather than even question whether it’s helpful for bipartisanship to call the President “morbidly obese,” Wallace justified it.

During a nine-minute softball interview with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on MSNBC Tuesday morning, anchor Stephanie Ruhle only asked a single nine-second question about the Democrat’s recently-changed policy of forcing COVID-positive patients to return to nursing homes. Nearly 5,000 residents in such facilities across the state have died of the virus since the policy was put in place in late…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says, "let me assure you, the President of the United States is not taking hydroxychloroquine." Scarborough claims that President Trump said he was taking the drug in order to distract Americans from various issues, including the coronavirus death toll that has now surpassed 90,000.

Sherlock Holmes notoriously used a 7% solution of cocaine, ostensibly to stimulate his mind. Morning Joe used a somewhat smaller dose, a 4% solution, to trash President Trump today regarding the coronavirus. No fewer than seven times in the opening segment, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski mentioned that whereas the US has about 4% of the world's population, it has 29% of the world's…

It's a classic MSM damned-if-you-do-or-don't trap. On Joy Reid's MSNBC show today, MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner suggested that President Trump is "corruptly" going after Sen. Richard Burr [R-NC] because Burr has demonstrated insufficient "loyalty" to the president.

On Saturday's PoliticsNation show with Rev. Al Sharpton, MSNBC contributor Zerlina Maxwell made her latest foray into throwing around accusations of racism as she claimed that President Donald Trump's use of the word "Obamagate" is "the new birtherism " and suggested that the word is code for "He is a black president."

How does Watergate differ from Obamagate? Journalists led the charge to uncover the first. But now? Now journalists are leading the coverup of the second. Over there at Real Clear Investigations, J. Peder Zane has illustrated the media coverup exactly. A sample from Zane:

Appearing on MSNBC Friday afternoon, NBC News chief global affairs correspondent Bill Neely delivered two straight minutes of anti-American Chinese propaganda that accused President Trump of “lunacy,” claimed Washington was in a state of “panic,” and declared that China was “trying to argue from a position of strength that it has its pandemic under control.”

The Lincoln Project, led by anti-Trumpers like George Conway and Rick Wilson, had been asking for cash to help blast a disgusting anti-Trump coronavirus ad “Mourning in America” across the TV airwaves. The pleading apparently attracted the cash of a prominent billionaire. Walmart heiress and billionaire Christy Walton contributed $20,000 to the group in January. The Washington Post reported that…
