Friday Fun: McEnany Spars with Press on Reopening Churches, Flynn Case
Friday brought us another White House press briefing featuring Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany batting behind President Trump and Dr. Deborah Birx and, predictably, McEnany continued to impress (except the ardent anti-Trump liberal media).

Poor Fredo: McEnany Slams Liberal Media for Bashing Hydroxychloroquine
After the recent liberal media meltdown over hydroxychloroquine, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tore apart their hysteria in Wednesday’s briefing.

WH Reporters Peddle Fear, Impugn Trump’s Motives on Reopening, Testing
The White House press corps must have consumed plenty of Wheaties ahead of Monday’s presidential press conference as, by and large, reporters came at President Trump with an emphasis on fear to keep Americans in their homes and impugn the motives of Trump on both death tolls and testing. And when CBS’s Weijia Jiang made her latest scene a la Jim Acosta and sought to have Trump ensnared in a…

Smackdown: Citing the MRC, McEnany Embarrasses the Liberal Media
Along with reporters donning masks (which led to muffled questions), Friday’s abbreviated White House Press Briefing was tough sledding for the liberal media.

MIC DROP: Kayleigh McEnany BURNS Media for Early Coronavirus Stories
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany ended Wednesday's press briefing with a bruising takedown of the liberal media after Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason wondered if she’d retract comments about the coronavirus from a February 25 Fox Business appearance.

Here Are the BEST Trump Smackdowns of Journalists at COVID Briefings
News reports percolated last week that formal White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings could go away or see a dramatic overhaul. Instead of showing seriousness and sobriety during this pandemic, camera-hawking, far-left egotists picked fights with President Donald Trump only to cry foul afterward to sympathetic colleagues. MRC analysts combed through our archives of the briefings to resurrect…

Reporter to Trump: Do You Deserve Reelection Since Over 55k Are Dead?
After some uncertainty about the future of White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings, Monday’s episode went off without a hitch in the Rose Garden and the questions were relatively fair and uncontroversial.

CNN RAGES at ‘Lying’ Trump’s ‘Dangerous,’ ‘Idiotic,’ ‘Soviet’ Comment
Friday afternoon, CNN melted down into a panel of juvenile performance artists, spending over 15 minutes screeching President Trump’s remarks Thursday and a Friday follow-up about disinfectants and sunlight as a “dangerous,” “double speak,” “idiotic,” “ludicrous,” “Soviet fashion,” and “a waste of time” (even though CNN was harping on it hourly).

Trump LEVELS Phil Rucker; ‘I’m the President and You’re Fake News’
Ahead of Thursday’s NFL Draft, there was a rhetorical pummeling at the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing as the horribly biased Washington Post White House bureau chief Philip Rucker found himself flattened by President Trump as “total faker” after he insisted that it was “dangerous for you to” encourage people to go outside as the temperatures warm up despite the presence coronavirus.…

Trump, CDC Director Spar with Karl Over ‘Fake News,’ WashPost Quote
Wednesday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing saw fireworks after Tuesday’s episode was a welcome change with a calm, civil, and sober tone among the cast of reporters.
