Donald Trump

Unbelievable as it sounds, the media may actually miss Donald Trump if he departs the White House in January – who else will they blame hate crimes on if he’s no longer in office? New York Times reporter Tim Arango jumped on what may be the paper’s last chance to blame physical assaults against minorities on the president, in Tuesday’s: “Hate Crimes At Highest Since 2008, F.B.I.…

If anyone was hoping the third time would be the charm for consistently constructive or tough questions at a post-election Joe Biden press conference, Thursday illustrated that such a hope was a fool’s errand. Over the course of the 15-minute availability, the Biden team had the former vice president receive questions from only four reporters with three of them offering softballs.

On NBC’s Today show Thursday morning, co-host Craig Melvin touted an interview with his “hero” – far-left, Trump-hating author Ta-Nehisi Coates. While Melvin hailed Coates as “an extraordinary and powerful voice,” the network puff piece conveniently ignored the pundit’s most radical and partisan declarations.

The Hill opinion columnist Joe Concha nuked the “marshmallow media” for consistently lobbing “T-ball” questions at former Vice President Joe Biden in the relatively few press conferences he’s held since clinching the Democratic nomination. 

I admit it: I sometimes feel like writing about Keith Richards. I’m a fan. But since there are few situations when writing about Keef isn’t a non sequitur, I mostly confine myself to brief Facebook appreciations of say, the slashing rhythm guitar on “All Down the Line,” or the delicate arpeggios on “Love in Vain.” Would that Politico’s John F. Harris had my discipline.

New York Times blowhard economist Paul Krugman is trying to cope with not getting the “blue wave” referendum on Trumpism he wanted out of the 2020 election. Now, Krugman has said that a potential GOP senate majority will be — wait for it — “bad for business.”

On CNN's New Day, the idea is seriously propounded that the media should refuse to report on, or examine the merits of, Republican challenges to election results. CNN has concluded that the challenges are not "serious," and thus that reporting on them would only serve to do the Republicans' work for them.

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters, always eager to attack conservative media, decided to pick on a couple of right-wing sites with strange charges of inaccuracy and tired jabs about their funding, in Tuesday’s edition: “A Popular Political Site Made a Sharp Right Turn. What Steered It?” The text box: “Questionable articles and polling averages at Real Clear Politics.” (Yes, the…

Rather than reporting the news, CNN’s New Day decided to spend its Tuesday morning broadcast mirroring Joe Biden’s words on the transition and COVID. Once again, they warned of dangers both to the lives of American citizens and to the economy if Trump does not start the transition. As co-host Alisyn Camerota proclaimed to a pro-Biden guest: “We've had many segments already this…

On Wednesday, MSNBC host Joy Reid continued her ongoing, hate-filled crusade against any and all dissenting political views during The ReidOut, asserting that America’s already operating as an authoritarian country due to Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the election to Joe Biden with the “supine” Republican Party acting like Vladimir Putin’s Duma.

On her MSNBC show on Wednesday, anchor Andrea Mitchell repeatedly whined over the Trump administration still conducting foreign policy after the election, as if that was unusual or improper. She was particularly outraged that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was traveling to the Middle East to push an “anti-Iran” and “pro-Israel” agenda.

Liberal commentator Keith Olbermann said the president is undermining American democracy from his “toilet,” and he must be stopped. While President Donald Trump remains in office until at least January 20, calls from the left to permanently ban him from Twitter have…

CNN New Day co-host John Berman accuses Rudy Giuliani of trying to "bilk" the Trump campaign for legal services, which he puts in air quotes. Berman raises questions of Giuliani's "mental acuity," and accuses him of "questionable moral values."

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and PBS White House reporter Yamiche Alcindor joined MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Monday to long for the days of Barack Obama because those were the days when the president cared about the truth.
