In Virginia, with a Democrat majority in both houses and new Governor Abby Spanberger, they have passed a bill prohibiting public schools from teaching that the January 6 riot at the Capitol was a “peaceful protest” or that there was “extensive election fraud” in 2020. The bill requires any instruction on January 6 to describe this “insurrection” as “an unprecedented, violent attack on U.S.…

Over the years the MRC has tracked liberal journalists’ hatred of this very American holiday and how they’ve tried to ruin it for everybody. The following are some of the most egregious examples of lib journos attempts to wreck Thanksgiving.

Irony died multiple deaths on Thursday’s edition of Amanpour and Company on PBS. First, host Christiane Amanpour and Columbia Journalism School Dean Jelani Cobb lamented that social media companies are moving away from fact-checking, which, they said, will make it harder to hold the government accountable, despite their own historical difficulties with the truth. Second, they worried that…

Columbia Journalism School Dean Jelani Cobb traveled over to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Wednesday to promote his new PBS documentary on the Electoral College. As Donald Trump may win the election despite losing the popular vote, Cobb and weekly host Michael Kosta probably felt it was important to delegitimize such a possible outcome.

Amanpour & Co., which airs on CNN International and taxpayer-supported PBS, aired a conversation between host Christiane Amanpour and Jelani Cobb, the dean of Columbia Journalism School, both fretting over the perils of Trump and bringing the Joe McCarthy era into the discussion (you know it's serious when journalists bring up the Red Scare).

“The Riot Report,” the latest entry in PBS’s historical documentary series American Experience, regrets the lack of influence that radical 1967 government-issued report on race relations, widely known as the Kerner Commission report. The report’s infamous concluding statement encapsulated liberal pessimism on race, and that the billions of dollars spilled out for anti-poverty programs wasn’t…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her favorite Republican, Michael Steele, oohed and awed on Thursday’s The ReidOut over President Joe Biden’s fundraiser with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and a cast of celebrities, including CBS’s Stephen Colbert. Not only did they fawn over Biden, they thought the fact that Donald Trump “can’t do this” and that George W. Bush won’t do it for him…

The following are just some of the most insane takes from leftist journalists and celebrities during the month of January.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Columbia Journalism School Dean, New Yorker staff writer, and MSNBC talking head Jelani Cobb to the Tuesday edition of The Late Show to proclaim that only one of the two parties believes in democracy, imply Republicans want to stop black people from voting, and wonder why trust in journalism is so low.

No evening of post-Claudine Gay resignation hot takery would be complete without MSNBC’s Joy Reid weighing in. And weigh in she did- by claiming, without evidence, that Gay was “taken out” in order to make room for the guys “who used to have” the presidencies of elite universities in the 50s.

The internal dissent at CNN over the town hall with Donald Trump erupted into public view on Wednesday as Christiane Amanpour accepted the Columbia Journalism Award during the school’s commencement ceremonies. During her speech, Amanapour also encouraged the graduates to put neutrality aside in the pursuit of liberal ideas, or in her words “truth.”

MSNBC has officially run out of original thoughts. On Thursday’s Alex Wagner Tonight, the eponymous host and Columbia Journalism School Dean Jelani Cobb came together to agree with Critical Race Theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a fascist.

Wednesday’s Amanpour & Co. opened with a long interview with Jelani Cobb, dean of Columbia University's Journalism School and a New Yorker staff writer. Cobb, who leads a school for future journalists, forwarded the wild argument that the five black police officers who killed Tyre Nichols could have been motivated by self-hatred, having internalizing “white supremacy.” Host Christiane…

MSNBC’s host of The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle, really does not like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and for her Friday panel, she invited a series of guests to affirm these feelings. The segment reached peak absurdity when Operation Hope founder and chairman John Hope Bryant proclaimed that Russia and China love what DeSantis is doing.
