With less than 30 minutes of air time Sunday night before bailing out for taped programming (while Fox News and MSNBC continued on for hours), CNN was ebullient Sunday night over President Joe Biden’s pardoning of son Hunter and called it a “poignant” and “monumental moment” to serve as the “culmination” of his entire presidency to save his “only surviving son” amid a life of “cruel” “…

On Sunday afternoon after President Biden’s handlers posted for him on social media that he won’t run for reelection, CBS blew ABC and NBC out of the water with nearly four hours of airtime (roughly 3:55) fawning over Biden as someone embedded in “the American story” and set to live “in very rarefied air” of U.S. history and decrying even policy criticisms of likely Democratic nominee, Vice…

The Regime Media’s selling of the sanctity of the verdict to convict former President Donald Trump in the New York business records trial requires the intervention of, what else…regime historians. 

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley joined Thursday’s installment of CBS Mornings to discuss the death of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his “duality.” On one hand, Brinkley panned Kissinger as someone who “had a bad, anti-democratic record,” but on the other, he praised Kissinger for being the guy who set in motion Israeli-Egyptian peace and tried to argue that is…

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley appeared on Friday’s CNN News Central to discuss former President Trump’s latest indictment and blamed it on a curious suspect: Gerald Ford. Brinkley and host Sara Sidner also acted as if nothing has happened between Watergate and present day when wondering why Republicans do not urge Trump to step aside like they did with Richard Nixon.

Days after House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden announced they had a bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling, left-wing CNN historian Douglas Brinkley tried Tuesday on CNN Tonight to rewrite history in order to give Biden credit for coming to the table to negotiate. Unfortunately for Brinkley, Republican political strategist and senior political commentator…

With former President Trump being indicted there was bound to be some cable news historian who reached for an outlandish analogy while attempting to wax poetic on the news and Douglas Brinkley delivered on Friday’s CNN Newsroom, declaring Trump’s upcoming mugshot will be like the wanted poster for John Wilkes Booth.

Today we present the WORST OF 2022: The Craziest Analysis Award. 

On Friday’s The Lead with Jake Tapper, CNN’s resident historian Douglas Brinkley fretted that Americans aren’t clamoring for far-left 1970s-style environmental policies, even as he saluted California Governor Gavin Newsom as a “hero” for pushing for the utterly unrealistic policy of banning all fossil fuel cars in the next dozen years.

Today we present the WORST OF 2022: The GOP Will End Democracy Award.

True, the media slobbering all over Democratic politicians is fairly unremarkable. But given the Republicans’ rather lackluster performance in the recent midterm elections, now more than ever it’s worth noting just how subservient the media are to Democrats.

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley joined CNN Inside Politics John King on Friday to talk about Nancy Pelosi’s place in history. As Brinkley tells it, Pelosi is the most significant Speaker in American history because she helped pass liberal legislation, mainly Obamacare.

President Joe Biden desperately needs political resuscitation and his leftist buddies in the press have spent the last few weeks bucking him up. Most recently they praised his September 1 address as they compared him to Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and FDR during WWII — this of course casts the GOP in the role of racist Confederates and Nazis. The following are just some of…

CNN presidential historian Douglas Brinkley joined Inside Politics host John King on Thursday to preview President Biden’s pretentious “Soul of the Nation” speech. Moving on from effusive praise of John Kerry to effusive praise of Joe Biden, Brinkley eagerly awaited Biden’s opportunity to “relate back to the Founders and Abraham Lincoln.”
