Easter weekend is always a meaningful time of the year and it may mean even more for people this year as the COVID-19 pandemic forces us to confront our physical mortality. If you are MSNBC's Ali Velshi, however, this holy week means more than previous years' because it helps serve as a reminder that President Trump is bad at his job.

On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, host Bill Maher delivered another of his lectures against his fellow liberals on the issue of political correctness as he argued that they should stop trying to shield China in its culpability for allowing the deadly COVID-19 virus to get out by claiming that valid criticisms of China are racist.

I know the late summer and fall of 2018 seems a world away in today’s virusland. But recall the headlines of the period. Headlines like these: The Washington Post: “California professor, writer of confidential Brett Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about her allegation of sexual assault.” NPR: “Who Is Christine Blasey Ford, The Woman Accusing Brett Kavanaugh Of Sexual Assault?”

The New York Times sounded awfully confident: “Falsehoods And Facts On Voting By Mail – Trump Claims High Risk Of Fraud. He’s Wrong,” by Stephanie Saul and Reid Epstein. Which makes it incredibly hypocritical that the paper made the opposite argument in 2012, one they now call “false," with reporter Adam Liptak writing, "The flaws of absentee voting raise questions about the most elementary…

There’s no way Milano could explain away her support for Vice President Joe Biden in light of the crush of allegations against him. Still, Milano’s belated response, after being called out across social media and by fellow #MeToo warrior Rose McGowan, is both too late and too insipid to believe. The Democrats’ likely choice to challenge President Donald Trump this fall has a documented history of…

At the nation´s Spanish-speaking media, the word “controversy” seems fit for use in just about any report about the coronavirus and the measures taken by the Trump administration to contain it, as well as to mitigate the economic hardships it has triggered.

On the PBS NewsHour Friday night, pundits David Brooks and Mark Shields trashed President Trump's "North Korean-style loyalty tests" and praised Bernie Sanders. Brooks said a commission to make recommendations on reopening the economy is a good thing, but there's the sense that being nice to President Trump is essential to being appointed. 

It takes something pretty wild to make a viewer think the CW dramatic soap opera Dynasty has gone beyond the pale, given the standard storylines written for the show. This week though, it succeeded.

Supposedly doing the work of the American taxpayers as a PBS correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor used Friday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force daily briefing to try and cancel U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams for urging racial minorities to, along with following CDC coronavirus guidelines, avoid the use of alcohol and drugs for the well-being of “your abuela,” “granddaddy,” “big mama,” and “pop-…

On Thursday's Amanpour & Co., as she interviewed Joe Biden campaign co-chair and Democratic Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, PBS host Christiane Amanpour made no attempt to press her from the right as the PBS host sympathetically wondered if the Democratic nominee would be critical of President Donald Trump in the near future during such a sensitive time, and also embrace parts of…

When anything draws as much attention for as long as the coronavirus outbreak has, it comes as no surprise that people in the “mainstream media” will have widely divergent views on that topic. That concept was demonstrated on Friday, when a columnist for the New York Times used the opportunity to criticize the “myth” that the United States is the “greatest country on earth.”

People need to urge director Spike Lee to “Do The Right Thing,” and shut up. In an XM radio interview with “The Joe Madison Show,” the Blackkklansman director spouted off his usual leftwing lunacies for the umpteenth time this month. Today he surmised that coronavirus is a sign that the earth is “angry” with humanity, and that NY Gov Andrew Cuomo is so much better than President Trump.

On Thursday, NBC's left-wing Late Night host Seth Meyers didn't hesitate to provide left-wing actress Jane Fonda with a platform for her latest “activist pursuit” of combating climate change, even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Friday, the White House Briefing Room saw quite the duel when President Trump nuked CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta for taking issue with what he felt was too much hope and optimism amidst the coronavirus pandemic and not enough negativity. At one point, the President obliterated Acosta with the seemingly obvious, which is that these briefings are “not happy talk” but “sad talk…
