Donald Trump

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, former Obama aide Ian Bassin proclaims that he has "high standards," but goes on to proclaim Biden's campaign speech near Valley Forge "absolutely outstanding."  Among the things Bassin praised Biden for was being "alive."

One of the world’s top artificial intelligence chatbots appears frozen in time when it comes to prompts concerning the Hunter Biden laptop bombshell and the Trump-Russia collusion media hoax.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski challenges Ken Block, who had been hired by the Trump campaign to investigate claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, on his decision to make all his findings, which were contrary to Trump's interest, public.

As an election year dawns, Republicans and Democrats should stop to reflect on why our politics seems so stagnant. No one expects President Joe Biden to earn a mandate even if he wins reelection; it won't be a victory for Biden so much as a defeat for Donald Trump. Progressives don't see Biden, or Kamala Harris, as an architect for the future.

Why do Republicans care about the border? It is a simple question with a simple answer: it is a mess. But for MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, who had guest hosting duties for Wednesday’s Alex Wagner Tonight, it is because “they want to let fewer brown people in” and any measures to address the issue prove that “the cruelty is the point.”

ABC World News Tonight closed out a report on the ongoing Republican presidential primary by echoing Biden campaign talking points on upcoming campaign stops, which are aimed at highlighting “the stakes” of the 2024 election.

It's always a surprise when David Brooks actually fights with Jonathan Capehart on the Friday night panel on the PBS NewsHour. But he denounced Maine's Democrat Secretary of State taking Donald Trump off the primary ballot, saying it was not just a "terrible decision," but an "even worse threat to democracy" than Colorado's Supreme Court ripping Trump off the ballot. 

On Morning Joe, self-described "Never Trump conservative" Matt Lewis says that in refusing to mention slavery when asked the cause of the Civil War, Nikki Haley misreads her core constituency.  MAGA voters will never vote for her. She is running to win the primary in New Hampshire, not in Alabama or Mississippi.

Nothing says “reasoned, valid legal analysis” like Colorado’s Secretary of State coming on MSNBC to congratulate Maine for throwing former President Donald Trump off the ballot.

Trump is like Osama bin Laden? On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, Tim Heaphy, the chief investigative counsel for the House January 6 committee, says that Trump, just like Osama, can't shift the blame to intelligence agencies which failed to detect his plot.

It was a year of change for late night comedy. The Late Late show was cancelled by CBS after 5,300 episodes since 1995 after James Corden decided to return to England, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show used a series of temp hosts after Trevor Noah walked away at the end of 2022, CBS host of The Late Show Stephen Colbert finally stopped giving Donald Trump the He Who…

Cable news continues to air live programming despite this, the week after Christmas, being a ratings wasteland mostly destined for year-end recaps and the like. Such is NOT the case on CNN, which makes the most of this time in order to advance a narrative previously debunked on CNN air.

In a CNN This Morning segment trying to understand why Donald Trump's fiery rhetoric doesn't seem to be hurting him with Republican primary voters, two panelists expressed a similar view: that the GOP voters don't hear Trump the way the press, and others outside their realm, do. The voters want a fighter, and see him as one. 

Amanpour & Co., which airs on taxpayer-supported PBS, on Tuesday called the 2024 elections a “make-or-break moment for democracy” in the “flawed democracy” known as the United States, because of the risks of a victory by former president Donald Trump. The Economist deputy editor Tom Standage talked to Amanpour reporter Hari Sreenivasan, who set up Standage to…
