December 2nd, 2021 10:05 AM

While recapping the Supreme Court hearing Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization oral arguments on Wednesday, an unhinged MSNBC panel that consisted of anchor Jose Diaz-Balart and three left-wing legal analysts lost their minds over the abortion case.

July 3rd, 2021 4:42 PM

For MSNBC's Ali Velshi the sky might as well be falling, because on his Saturday he agreed with Pennsylvania Sen.

Need a Hug? MSNBC Panel FREAKS Over ‘Racist,’ ‘Violent’ SCOTUS Ruling

July 1st, 2021 11:53 PM

Thursday was a less-than-stellar day for immature and venomous charlatans like MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid due to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Arizona’s election integrity laws, so it was only natural Reid and a cast of characters melted down over the ruling as a “racist” and “violent blow against democracy” that proved the centrality of “the Big Lie...to Republican…

A New Court Nominee, But TV News Employs Same Old Biased Script

July 11th, 2018 10:21 AM
Since the 1980s, the well-worn liberal playbook is to claim that Republican appointees to the Supreme Court should be voted down as ideologues who are outside the judicial mainstream.

True to form, ABC, CBS and NBC’s…

The Liberal Media’s Perpetually Skewed SCOTUS Coverage

July 9th, 2018 8:00 AM
President Trump won’t officially announce his latest nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court until this evening, but it’s already easy to predict the liberal media’s spin. As with all recent Republican nominees, reporters will repeatedly label them as “conservative,” which will nicely reinforce the Democrats’ strategy to paint them as outside “the mainstream.” But when Democratic Presidents announce…

Supreme Court Nominees Always Too Conservative for the Liberal Media

March 15th, 2016 10:25 AM

Whomever Barack Obama selects to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia expect the liberal media to worry the selection isn’t progressive enough.

Reporting on the outcome of Harris v.

WashPost Takes McCutcheon Ruling Hard, Whines Heavily on Front Page Ab

April 3rd, 2014 1:35 PM
Matea Gold and Robert Barnes utterly failed this morning as ostensibly objective journalists. In their front-page stories covering yesterday's Supreme Court ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC, the Washington Post staffers front-loaded their stories with melodramatic political language suitable for a left-wing "campaign finance reform" group's press release rather than objective news copy. "An elite…
