Second Trump transition

Thursday morning on CNN Newsroom, rule of experts aficionado and Atlantic writer Tom Nichols found himself flustered given the ultra-rare occasion of having faced direct pushback for his views. This time, it came from CNN conservative political commentator Shermichael Singleton over whether former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) should be allowed to make her case to the Senate as…

On her Wednesday show, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell spread misinformation by suggesting Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth opposes the existence of female military pilots, thereby disrespecting those women who have suffered greatly in service to their country. On Thursday, instead of issuing a correction, Mitchell doubled down and repeated the claim.

Morning Joe notes the compliments it has received, including from Trump supporters, on the "calm and measured" way it reported Trump's win, and Mika Brzezinski says "we will continue our best efforts to be fair and objective in reporting on the incoming administration." She adds that the show will "of course" invite members of the Trump administration on the show, and would like to have a face…

Climate correspondent and man with more frequent flyer miles than you, Bill Weir, joined CNN Newsroom host Jim Acosta on Thursday to discuss what President-elect Donald Trump and EPA Administrator nominee Lee Zeldin mean for the environment. Naturally, Weir was quite gloomy, warning “these are such vital years” and worrying if the agency will be “able to hold the line.”

The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper managed to mangle not one but two ramifications of President-elect Donald Trump nominating Army veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. First, Klepper gave a false impression of what Hegseth meant when he said women should not be in combat roles, and second, he claimed the first false impression means that “in Trump’s America…

Pete Hegseth is a 20-year Army veteran with two combat tours, two Bronze Stars, and two Army Commendation Medals, but his nomination to be the secretary of defense has brought out the worst in the liberal media. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I break down the media’s disgusting diminution of Hegseth’s career, and call out the liberal ladies of The View for their…

President-elect Trump’s nomination of decorated Army combat veteran Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense brought out the worst in the liberal media. Much of the pattern was on display during Wednesday’s edition of ABC’s The View as they actively diminished and discredited Hegseth’s 20 years of distinguished service in the Army by claiming he “does not know anything about the…

The broadcast networks all broke in Wednesday morning with special reports on President-Elect Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with outgoing President Joe Biden. But it was a comment Trump made earlier in the morning joking about staying in the White House longer than four years that left ABC and CBS bent out of shape.

Ever since President-elect Donald Trump made the surprising announcement that he intends to nominate veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense, the media has tried to portray him as a troublesome right-wing culture warrior. However, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell took things one step further on Wednesday as she spread straight up fake news about Hegseth.

In the second White House press briefing since the presidential election and a day before the surreal Oval Office sit-down between President Biden and President-Elect Trump, Fox’s Peter Doocy drew Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s ire when he wonddered “how awkward was” Tuesday’s lunch between Biden and Vice President Harris at the White House.

It took about a week of self-containment after the election, but the media are back to their old, hectoring ways. The Regime Media have broken out in full contempt over President Elect Donald Trump's selection of combat veteran Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.

On CNN This Morning, Kasie Hunt asks Republican Doug Heye how Trump could have chosen Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, given that loyalty is so important to Trump, and Trump and Rubio had a major dustup during the 2016 primaries, with Rubio mocking the size of Trump's supposedly small hands. Heye makes a great point in response: "How did Kamala Harris come back for Joe Biden after she…

Still insisting that the bad economy and inflation were not what drove Americans to overwhelmingly elect Donald Trump president again (instead claiming it was all sexism and racism), Sunny Hostin, the staunchly racist co-host of ABC’s The View urged people to not attend holiday gatherings with family members who supported Trump. She called it a “moral issue.”

With NewsBusters Executive editor Tim Graham away on the star-studded MRC Cruise this week, Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I began our week hosting the show by assessing on Monday where the liberal media stand nearly a week after their landslide election loss. We also dove into Fondacaro’s latest reporting on CNN’s legal woes which, believe it or not, has taken another wild turn.
