MS NOW (formerly MSNBC)

Several themes emerge from the early coverage of the 2024 Democratic convention. The first is the reinforcement of the manufactured “joyful” mood of the party now that Joe Biden has been successfully deep-sixed. The second, most notably on display tonight, are the “tears” that this deep-sixing trigger.

The Democratic Convention begins tomorrow in Chicago, and there should be absolutely no suspense over how the media will treat Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and the party’s other stars. The MRC’s archives, going back to 1988, show that Democrats always get a huge tailwind of good press coming out of their party conventions.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her Friday guests could not control their laughter on The ReidOut at Kamala Harris and Tim Walz discussing the latter’s “white guy tacos” and subsequent GOP reaction. For Reid, the episode proved that they are “normal, relatable, and just downright fun and joyful people,” while their Republican counterparts are not.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid is terrified of religion intersecting with politics and is constantly worrying on The ReidOut about the threat of “Christian Nationalism.” On Wednesday, though, she found an exception for Kamala Harris supporters who mix religion and politics because they are like the “Christian pastors who led the civil rights movement.”

On Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle predicts that Kamala Harris will finish Trump off in their debate. She's "a very sophisticated, very intelligent woman, and she hammers him like a prosecutor and doesn't let him off the hook, he will go -- I can't say it -- But something will snap in him and that will be it."  

In a story broken by our friend at The Washington Examiner, Gabe Kaminsky last week, Minnesota Democratic Governor and vice presidential nominee Tim Walz was exposed for having a professional relationship with a radical Islamic imam who hates Israel and loves him some Adolf Hitler. Despite the story being broken the morning of Friday August 9, all three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS,…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid devoted much of Tuesday’s edition of The ReidOut to freaking out over the idea that Republicans will use various methods to undermine November’s election results should Donald Trump lose. One idea that was particularly unhinged was the idea that purging voter rolls is so problematic that it led Reid to warn that Republicans are even trying to rig the election in…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough expresses his preference for Bernie Sanders as president over Donald Trump, saying, "If Mike Pence were president or Bernie Sanders were president, I'd worry much less than if Donald Trump were president." Scarborough opines that Madisonian democracy, checks and balances, and the separation of powers would permit the country to survive a very conservative or a…

MSNBC’s bitter race essentialist Joy Reid has crafted a recurring segment wherein she provides material assistance to the (now) Harris campaign’s efforts to disinform people into believing that Project 2025 is somehow an official product of the Trump campaign. In so doing, she exposed the generalized degeneracy of the left.

On Morning Joe, George Conway, playing off Trump's Truth Social post claiming that Kamala's Michigan crowd size had been fabricated, called Trump a delusional narcissistic sociopath, adding that if his family cared about him, they would have him committed to a psychiatric hospital. Conway compared Trump to Hitler in his final days in the bunker, moving around divisions that didn't exist.

For at least 15 years, the liberal networks have been cheering for Kamala Harris, applauding her as an “inspiring” “trailblazer,” with barely any concern for the far-left policies she would bring with her to the White House.

On Friday morning, MSNBC's Jose Diaz Balart devoted a segment to complaining about both the Joe Biden and Donald Trump administrations slowing down the entry of illegal immigrants as the liberal host fretted that limiting immigrant entry makes it take longer for LGBT asylum seekers to enter the country.

It turned upside down on Morning Joe Friday. Joe Scarborough approvingly cited Peggy Noonan suggesting that Trump has become Biden on the "mental acuity" meter. Katty Kay said the Democratic ticket is like "sunny Reagan." 

Wednesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut was a particularly “joyful” one. Seriously. Host Joy Reid’s obsession with how “fun” the Harris/Walz Democratic ticket is in comparison to the “frightening” Republican ticket of Trump/Vance was reflected in how many times she mentioned the word “joy” (i.e. far too many).
