Michael Beschloss

MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss joined Thursday’s Alex Wagner Tonight to recap what the chyron described as President Biden’s “fourth address on saving democracy” and the previous night’s GOP debate. Naturally, Beschloss thought Biden was comparable to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt preparing the nation for World War II while lamenting Republicans were talking…

MSNBC The 11th Hour guest host Ali Velshi, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, and presidential historian Michael Beschloss were all greatly distressed on Thursday as they reacted to the “weird” GOP primary debate from the night before that focused on policy differences between the candidates instead of obsession over Donald Trump and “the anti-democratic tendencies…

On Morning Joe, liberal historian Michael Beschloss, in the context of the new indictment of Donald Trump relating to January 6th, described Trump as a "monster" like Osama Bin Laden and said he will institute a "presidential dictatorship" and "take away our democracy" if elected.

On MSNBC's The ReidOut, host Joy Reid hosted the network's pseudo-historian Michael Beschloss to concoct yet another one of his conspiracy theories about how former President Donald Trump is a wannabe fascist dictator and will start jailing people if he gets elected again in 2024. According to Beschloss, Trump isn't keeping his fascist dictator desires a secret until after the…

Former President Trump was arrested on 34 felony counts of bookkeeping fraud involving hush money and appeared in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday, as everyone in the world knows. PBS made the most out of the case, devoting a half hour of its evening “news hour” to multiple angles on the indictment. The dubious charges by New York district attorney Alvin Bragg involve years-old allegations…

On MSNBC's Velshi, fill-in host and turncoat Republican Michael Steele brought on pseudo-historian Michael Beschloss to give his take on the current Republican Party and the looming presidential campaign. As per usual, Beschloss took the segment off the rails and provided the most unhinged and conspiratorial take imaginable while disguising it as a historical analysis. 

On Monday night, MSNBC's The ReidOut continued an all-day theme in the leftist media of swooning over President Biden's trip to Ukraine, which he took despite failing to pay a visit to his own citizens suffering in the working-class town…

The following are just some of the most absurd (post-SOTU) outbursts from liberal journos, as caught by the NewsBusters staff.

During the midnight hour of MSNBC’s State of the Union address coverage, pseudo-historian Michael Beschloss made a fool of himself during his analysis of Biden’s speech. After being asked by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle what he thought of Biden’s speech, Beschloss declared Biden to be “Mr. Smooth.” Biden is many things, but everyone can agree that smooth isn’t one of the adjectives most Americans…

You might call it a media backfire. A big one.

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

MSNBC used to be the network that demanded that people be allowed to dissent from a government line, certainly when the president was Trump or George W. Bush. But when Ukraine's president Wlodomyr Zelensky came to speak to Congress, anyone who didn't treat him as the second coming of Winston Churchill was a foul individual. On Wednesday night's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell,…

It was a good week for liberals, which means according to MSNBC logic it was a good week for democracy itself. On Friday’s installment of The 11th Hour guest host Alicia Menendez rejoiced over Raphael Warnock’s win, Donald Trump’s woes, and the passage of the same-sex marriage bill. Beschloss also got in a tortured analogy when condemning critics of the Brittney Griner-Viktor Bout…

Reacting to President Joe Biden's Wednesday speech, NBC News historian Michael Beschloss later that night gave a cartoonish warning about the dangers of Republicans winning next week's election. He fretted that "our children" might be killed as a result, and that there might no longer be the freedom for historians to write honestly about current events.
