Barack Obama

Before the originally scheduled 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner was postponed after a failed assassination attempt against President Trump, there was opposition from liberal circles that the usual tradition of having a comedian perform was being replaced by mentalist Oz Pearlman. With the dinner being rescheduled for Friday, a NewsBusters study decided to investigate why these liberal…

Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's Morning Joe, New Yorker staff writer Lauren Collins joined show regular Al Sharpton in comparing the election of Donald Trump in 2016 to an 1898 coup by white supremacists in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Nicolle Wallace may be popular among MS NOW viewers, and that might be because she says remarkably untrue things that please the so-called progressives. On Friday’s Deadline White House, as she boasted about how Barack Obama is still waay more popular than President Trump, she uncorked several whoppers, like Trump has “literally muzzled” half the media, and Obama had "no scandals."

In their new book, "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan devote considerable attention to the Trump administration’s efforts to influence Smithsonian exhibits. On a Morning Joe segment today, Haberman misleadingly framed it as Trump and his allies “wanting to leave their imprint on what art Americans can see…

Over the last few days, the networks have overflowed with gooey propaganda about the new Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. But the fakest news in the goo was claiming Obama's career was all about "bridging divides and finding common ground." This spin pretends there was only unity, and no conservative opposition.

In their weekly chat on Substack, former CNN and Washington Post reporter Chris Cillizza and former NBC and MSNBC host Chuck Todd quipped on Monday that racism was “the only reason” why the American people view Barack Obama as a liberal president, even though he was only “a degree more liberal than Bill Clinton” and “temperamentally a moderate.”

The opening of the brutalist Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago was cause for reflecting on his supposed golden two terms of tolerance and “reaching across the aisle” on Friday’s PBS News Hour. Rogin teed up her guest, Yale historian Beverly Gage, to praise Obama’s dignified bipartisanship, facts notwithstanding.

The Obama Presidential Center opened to much fanfare and media coverage last week. The Elitist Media devoted significant chunks of time to covering the new shrine built to their god-king. This devoted coverage spilled over to the Sunday shows.

Despite having been out of office for a decade, the media was still more than happy to turn all cameras towards former President Barack Obama once more. The grand opening of his new presidential center in Chicago brought myriad news companies to the site. On this Friday’s NBC Today, a segment on the Obama center included a gooey interview between the former president and NBC co-anchor Craig…

MS NOW aired a two-hour special hosted by Michele Norris with the presumptuous title of Hope Comes Home, which featured a tour of the new Obama Presidential Center and interviews with Barack and Michelle. During the show, Norris would suggest that if there was any real criticism to be made of Obama, it was that he was not left-wing enough, but the good news is that the American people “have…

After years of delays, and a price tag reported to be near $1 billion, which included over one hundred million in infrastructure paid for by Illinois taxpayers, the Obama Presidential Center opened its doors to the public on Friday, one day after a star studded opening ceremony at the South Side of Chicago's 19.3 acre facility, and needless to say the left wing media ate it up. But there is a…

After the Obama Presidential Center’s opening on Thursday was met with loving coverage from most news outlets, Friday’s Morning Joe joined in fawning over the event. MS NOW reporter Nnamdi Egwuonwu called the event “jubilant” and even said he was “heartbroken” when he found tickets were sold out.

Over the last few days, the focus of the media shifted entirely towards the grand opening of the Obama Center in Chicago. The grand opening made such a buzz that the media even forced themselves to slow down the endless abuse of the current president to instead focus on this obelisk of nostalgia constructed in honor of their beloved former President Obama. On this Friday’s CBS Mornings, co-…

Thursday’s opening of the Obama Presidential Center brought back all of the gushing media coverage that defined his presidency and not just from current media personalities. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta had a busy day with former colleague John Harwood and former NBC and CBS anchor Katie Couric as they seemed to compete with each other over who could be the most effusive in their praise for…
