MS NOW (formerly MSNBC)

On Thursday, MS NOW’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell played host to the idea that President Trump was moments away from complete destruction of the United States Constitution, even leaning on Tucker Carlson adding in his two cents about the impending implosion. With many Republicans having all cut ties to any image that breathes of Trump, O’Donnell simmered it down to Trump’s geriatric…

MS NOW’s Ari Melber welcomed author Naomi Klein to The Beat on Friday to continue her End Times Fascism book tour. Both would hail New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “compelling offer against fascism,” while showing a fundamental lack of understanding of what fascism actually is.

Joe Scarborough went on a rant on Friday's Morning Joe, demanding that whoever instructed Secret Service agents not to immediately restore access to previously banned outlets—even after a judge issued a temporary order—should be jailed. Scarborough continued: "I want to know who is saying, ignore a federal judge's order, because this sounds a lot like Watergate to me." 

Why did President Donald Trump ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House? The better question is: What took so long? But Trump made his point. The man is angry at the blatantly biased and Trump-despising legacy media. He blames them for his poor poll numbers. His bitterness is more than justified.

After repeated claims on his Morning Joe program that President Donald Trump promised to "only" target "the worst of the worst" illegal aliens, and that he was therefore breaking a promise by including all illegal aliens, MS NOW's Joe Scarborough on Tuesday finally admitted that Trump promised mass deportation, and not just of "the worst."

Years from now, people will ask (but not really): Where were you on September 24, 2026, when CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were allowed back at the White House? Based on their coverage in the immediate moments afterward, CNN showed it would treat this like a birthday, wedding anniversary, or even a historical event like their version of Marines raising the flag during the Battle of Iwo Jima,…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Quote of the Week?

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is condemning President Donald Trump’s authority to ban CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House – but, a statement by the Socialist-aligned Michigan Democrat Senate candidate called for another president to “purge the police and media.”

After MS NOW and other outlets regained press passes to enter White House grounds on Thursday, MS NOW’s coverage of the news was about as self-congratulatory and self-centered as expected. Former NBC White House reporter Peter Alexander helmed the coverage on his new midday show, with praise for current MS NOW reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, who was heavily featured by the network as a hero after…

On Thursday, the second hour of MS NOW’s Morning Joe turned into a prolonged discussion on transgender athletes in women’s sports as co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist minimized the issue and said Republicans were "obsessed." Then, Scarborough and Geist attacked Republicans, with Scarborough saying there was a “raging current” and “reservoir of beta maleness underneath this Republican…

In the early hours Thursday, D.C. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly ruled for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico in their lawsuit against the Trump administration after the President announced Friday they were banned from the White House. Kelly said they had “shown a likelihood of success, at least on their Fifth Amendment procedural due process claim” of being barred without notice or a chance to…

Having been a network where pomposity and an absence of humility reigned supreme during Jeff Zucker’s tenure, CNN has relapsed since Friday, when President Trump banned it from the White House, and thus it was no surprise that Wednesday’s The Arena included a breathtakingly absurd monologue from host Kasie Hunt arguing the press flaunting itself isn’t selfish or proof they don’t care about the…

On Monday, CNN teamed up with MS NOW (the artist formerly known as MSNBC) and Politico in a joint lawsuit against the Trump administration and a litany of officials, demanding their access to the White House grounds be restored after Friday’s shocking, unilateral ban by President Trump. Since then, of course, the three have relished the spotlight and cloaking themselves in martyrdom we are to…

At the Status Summit earlier this month, before MS NOW, along with CNN and Politico, were barred from White House grounds, MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler was asked by Status’ liberal chief Olivier Darcy if she viewed MS NOW as a “progressive network” after she previously described it as really “pro-democracy.” She denied the network was progressive and cited noted anti-Trump hosts Michael…
