PBS Attacks Trifecta of 'Cult' Populist Conservatives, 'Murdoch Media'

Pence Triggers Todd by Mentioning Hillary's Emails & Hunter's Laptop
During NBC’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd landed a sitdown interview with former Vice President and current presidential candidate Mike Pence.

Karl Struggles to Report Poll Showing Trump's Favorable Ratings Up
A humorous moment took place Sunday during ABC’s This Week when co-moderator Jonathan Karl struggled to report a poll by state-affiliated media outlet National Public Radio which showed former President Donald Trump’s favorable ratings increasing among Republicans since his indictment. Trump went from 68 percent favorable prior to the indictment to 76 percent. It’s unclear whether…
Chris Sununu Spurs ANOTHER Touchy Reaction Talking Socialism on PBS
Another month, another testy interview on Amanpour & Co. (which airs on CNN International and tax-funded PBS) between journalist Walter Isaacson and a conservative figure. Last month it was National Review editor Rich Lowry, who snapped back at Isaacson’s stating that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s campaign was embracing the “culture of resentment.” This month it’s Gov.…
New York Times Fairy Tale: Biden's Justice Department is Independent
Here was the headline this last week in The New York Times:
PBS Cries 'Projection' As GOP Promises To Combat DOJ Weaponization
The whole point of elections is to offer multiple competing visions for the future, but this was confusing to the cast of Friday’s PBS NewsHour with host Amna Nawaz how 2024 Republicans can “undermine” federal agencies, such as the Justice Department, while seeking to run them. Washington Post associate editor also proclaimed that such campaigning represents “projection.”
PBS: Trump in 'International Cabal' Who 'Support Idea of Dictatorship'
On Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour was joined by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, whom she described as “an award-winning historian and bestselling author, focusing on the dangers of authoritarianism.” Both host and guest went on an extended rant on the hypothetical threats of political violence ginned up by Trump supporters, or as Amanpour breathlessly put it, “…
Morning Joe: Trump's a Pathological, Weird, Criminal Hoarder

GOP Congressman Battles CNN on Judge on Trump Case: 'You Create Doubt'
Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett (R) joined CNN Primetime host Kailtan Collins on Thursday for a discussion that included a tense back and forth about whether CNN is creating “doubt in the mind of the public” by attacking Judge Aileen Cannon in the case of former President Trump’s second indictment with an exasperated Burchett telling Collins “I mean, come on, you're CNN, we know that, it’…
MSNBC Demands Judge Cannon, Roberts, Allow Them To Video Trump Trial
MSNBC spent 93 percent of Tuesday discussing former President Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday and it appears some at the network think that number is too low. One of those voices belongs to contributor, professor, and former Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who joined Thursday’s edition of The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle to demand that Judge Aileen Cannon work with Chief Justice John…
Stephanopoulos Melts Down AGAIN When Guest Brings Up Biden Documents
ABC’s Good Morning America co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos isn’t a fan of pushback over the second Trump indictment. In addition to meltdowns last week when now-ex-Trump attorney Jim Trusty brought up the Biden documents probe and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) doing the same on Sunday’s This Week, he pitched a third fit on Thursday’s GMA.…
Whoopi DEMANDS Constitutional Amendment to Bar Jailed-Trump Presidency
In an example of not only putting the cart before the horse but putting it a couple of blocks down the road, ABC host Whoopi Goldberg spent part of Thursday’s edition of The View calling for a constitutional amendment that would bar former President Trump from being president again if he was sent to prison and still won the 2024 election. This was apparently one of the “strange…
Darcy Wails Over White House Anger at Fox Chyron, NYT's Disobedience
Liberal media janitor and former Brian Stelter stooge Oliver Darcy threw a hissy fit in his reliably liberal Reliable Sources newsletter late Wednesday evening over a chyron that aired Tuesday night on Fox News during a split screen moment when both former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden spoke at the same time.
