Capitol Hill Riot

With CBS Mornings freaking out about a number of matters related to Monday’s second inauguration of President Trump, the fervently anti-Trump partisans at ABC’s Good Morning America were apoplectic over the pardons of January 6 defendants to the point everything else was painted as either fringe or blurry.

In addition to their hostile interview of Secretary of State Marco Rubio about January 6 and two surprising segments about First Lady Melania Trump’s fashion at the inauguration and the evening balls, CBS Mornings made January 6 and President Trump’s pardons the most important takeaway of this new day in America plus a side of illegal immigrant sob stories.

While it lacked the schoolings NBC’s liberal journalists faced at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and longtime GOP hand Hogan Gidley or ABC’s degree of Biden apple polishing, CBS held its own during Monday’s Trump inauguration thanks to the pomposity and obsession with January 6 on the part of many of their lead anchors. NewsBusters slogged through the first nine hours of…

On CNN This Morning, The Dispatch co-founder and CNN analyst Jonah Goldberg suggests that Biden and Trump should be impeached for their abusive, "grotesque' misuse of the pardon power. Biden in respect of his final day pardons of family members, Trump for his sweeping pardons and commutations of January 6 defendants. .

In between live coverage of the signing of executive orders and the various inaugural galas, the cable channels tried to squeeze in some of their usual discussion fare. The outcomes of these went as one would expect.

Both before and after their brutal rhetorical beatdowns at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), NBC’s inauguration coverage paddled the struggle boat as, over the course of six-plus hours of post-ceremonies coverage, they voiced their own set of grievances over President Trump’s “searing,” “single most partisan,” “very dark” speech that’s put him at “risk” of “overstepping what…

With their struggle sessions on Monday morning serving as an appetizer, ABC delivered the main course in the afternoon hours following President Trump’s second inauguration with meltdowns about the address as a “harsh” repudiation” of Joe Biden, a “hot mess of division” “filled with hammers,” and heard before an audience of supporters who “did not really reflect” America “when it comes to…

NBC News ran into a buzzsaw on Monday afternoon by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as he repeatedly shredded the assembled liberal journalists over their obsession with January 6 pardons, the Trump prosecutions, the Biden crime family, the Panama Canal, and even the Hunter Biden laptop.

In the three hours leading up to President Trump’s second inauguration on Monday, the liberal journalists at ABC were having a rough time as they said America’s “deeply divided” thanks to Trump, suggested his affinity and support for the forgotten men and women is fake because of his budding friendships with tech billionaires, and that America no longer has real “check and balances” when…

After President-elect Donald Trump leaned on dissident Republican U.S House members and strong-armed the reelection of Speaker Mike Johnson, congressional Democrats -- and Republicans -- marveled at Trump’s power and influence. When the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Colorado could not prevent Trump from appearing on that state’s primary, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the…

For people 35 and under, Monday was the first time in their lifetime that a Republican presidential election victory was certified by Congress with zero Democratic objections, but in their 2025 debuts, the late night comedians wanted to claim that Monday’s proceedings showed Republicans how the transfer of power is supposed to be done.

 As ABC’s The View returned from its holiday break today, hosts took to the table to discuss the incidents of January 6th, 2021. Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg expressed their worries of the day being “whitewashed” from history, Hostin going as far as to claim the date as one of the worst in American History.

PBS News Weekend blamed Fox News and “far right” websites for the Capitol Hill riot (or as both PBS and their NPR guests insisted, “insurrection”) on a news segment Sunday evening, the eve of the fourth anniversary of that terrible day in the nation’s capital. NPR's Lauren Hodges spoke of the rioters: “They had an eagerness to see some violence or participate in it.” Which makes it…

CNN went all out for its election certification coverage Monday in marking four years since the Capitol riot, but had the wherewithal to have a conservative on-set (or at least most of the time), including CNN conservative commentator Brad Todd for CNN This Morning and CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta. It was on the latter show that Todd dished it back to Acosta and liberal…
