January 14th, 2024 10:18 AM

In coverage of past Iowa caucuses, the media elite have mocked religious conservatives like Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Ted Cruz, yet always seem to be thrilled by their Democratic choices, spinning radicals as “moderates.”

Fourteen years ago tomorrow (December 10), liberals were ecstatic as President Barack Obama accepted the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo.

Joe Biden Looks Doomed in 2024 — But Is He?

December 8th, 2023 3:07 PM

Gavin Newsom is so eager to run for president that he even campaigns to insist he’s not running. That’s what he did last week, when the California governor went on Fox News to debate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is officially in the race. Why does a Democratic governor appear on a Republican-leaning cable channel to debate a candidate, if he’s not a candidate himself? The devil’s in the…

Obama Takes Jab at Thomas for Calling on Big Tech Regulation

November 13th, 2023 3:13 PM

War in the Democratic Party — and at the Opera

November 9th, 2023 4:50 PM

Joe Biden’s party is at war with itself. Scenes last weekend of protesters scaling the White House fence and shouting down Sen. Cory Booker at a Democratic rally in New Jersey are only outward manifestations of a deeper inner turmoil. The Democratic Party’s identity is inseparable from a morality tale in which the world is divided between white, wealthy oppressors and nonwhite, poorer victims…

November 4th, 2023 4:00 PM

So the Bible is not OK. At least not with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. If, that is, it is conservative Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson touting it. But when its President Joe Biden, Jen’s ex-boss? No problem!

November 4th, 2023 8:39 AM

Networks Ignore GOP's Israel Takes Against Biden, But CBS Touts Obama

October 24th, 2023 2:06 PM

The Tuesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC couldn't find any time for a GOP soundbite on Israel and Biden. But the CBS Evening News felt the need to offer the apparently unmissable opinions of former president Barack Obama. There were no Obama critics, either. 

Will Gavin Newsom Copy Trump?

October 4th, 2023 2:44 PM

Gavin Newsom wants to be Donald Trump. Eight years ago, Trump took stock of the Republican Party and found it ripe for conquest. Who could stand against him? The Bush dynasty elected two presidents, yet both left office with the GOP in retreat.  If Jeb Bush seemed the inevitable nominee for a few weeks or months in 2015, that was only a sign of how stagnant the party had become.

September 26th, 2023 2:09 PM

Jay Solomon over at Semafor is out with a piece that details how the Iranian Foreign Ministry worked closely with a bunch of American and European academics to help sell the Iran nuclear deal back in 2014 by repeating Tehran’s lines.

FLASHBACK: As CBS Evening News Anchor, Katie Couric Was a Liberal Flop

September 2nd, 2023 8:42 AM

At CBS, Katie Couric sounded indistinguishable from liberal politicians when it came to climate change, government health care, President Barack Obama’s massive spending, and even a government takeover of U.S. banks. She flattered Obama, condemned the rest of the media for being too tough on Hillary Clinton, and blamed her own failures at CBS on — what else? — sexism.

August 29th, 2023 2:49 PM

Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, died on Monday and for Tuesday’s Inside Politics on CNN, the assembled panel recalled his confrontation with Barack Obama in 2008 on taxes by labeling it the beginning of “grievance politics” for white working class men while lamenting that Democrats have not been able to connect with such voters despite the passing of the…
