The media’s sugar rush over President Joe Biden’s performance at the State of the Union has largely worn off. Like the president’s cognitive cocktail. What remains is the media’s angst over the president’s use of the term “illegal” to describe the illegal alien that killed UGA nursing student Laken Riley. 

George Stephanopoulos’ recent interview with U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) proves the extent to which the media, rather than reporting facts and allowing informed viewers to decide for themselves, have devolved into partisan Maoist apparatchiks bent on punishing dissent. There is no other explanation for Stephanopoulos’ disgusting attempts to shame Mace, a survivor of sexual assault, for her…

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has it easier than her predecessors.

Vice President Kamala Harris sat down with ABC, NBC, and CBS on Friday to recap President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address and discuss the campaign. While all three networks condensed the interviews for their respective nightly news shows, ABC’s World News Tonight edits were the most sympathetic to Harris.

On Thursday afternoon, CNN anchor Boris Sanchez tried to spin to defend the Joe Biden administration's handling of the border as he and Congressman Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) got into a debate while discussing what to expect from the President's State of the Union address.

Unfortunately, Friday’s CBS Mornings followed the lead of ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today in forgoing actual critiques of President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address on Thursday. Instead, it heaped praise on the “fiery” and “fired up” Biden going “on the offensive” and proved he “has the energy, the fire in the belly to serve another four years”.

The hypocrisy displayed by the cast of ABC’s The View is never more apparent when their “support all women” shtick clashes with their disdain for actual conservative women. That scenario played out again on Friday as they viciously attacked the mental health Alabama Senator Katie Britt (R) for her less-than-stellar and unusual rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union address…

President Biden’s angry, bitter, and shouty State of the Union address got rave reviews from the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View on Friday. Co-host Sara Haines enjoyed that it didn’t trigger her “depression” and “anxiety,” while faux-conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin proclaimed it “the first time” she felt “he could beat Donald Trump.” And those were some of the more lucid takes.

Just as ABC’s Good Morning America on Friday got weak knees over President Biden’s State of the Union address, NBC’s Today followed suit by swooning over the “energized” and “feisty” President’s “mix of energy, humor, combativeness” to deliver a “poignant” speech with “an optimistic view” on the economy standing up for “main street.”

Comedy Central sent Michael Kosta to Eagle Pass, Texas, to report on the border crisis for the Friday installment of The Daily Show, but according to him, the real crisis is about the reaction to the crisis as Texas is “attracting a flood of Republican governors, Congressional delegations, and even billionaire weirdos.”

CBS chief political analyst John Dickerson joined Stephen Colbert on Thursday for a special live edition of The Late Show, where the two fawned over President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address by claiming that simply by giving the speech, Biden “reknits those bonds” of democracy.

After polishing the White House’s apples on Thursday ahead of the President’s State of the Union address, ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) were unsurprisingly hot and bothered Friday by what they deemed to have been an “aggressive”, “fiery”, “tough” President doling out a “feisty” speech in a “rowdy” atmosphere against a “combative” and “not” civil GOP.

The drive-by media was very hopeful in the days ahead of the State of the Union address, and the prevailing sense is that the speech was going to be hailed as successful so long as President Joe Biden didn’t soil himself on the dais. CBS’s early reaction to the speech appears to confirm that sense.

MSNBC’s immediate reaction to President Joe Biden’s shouty, aggressive, and grossly partisan State of the Union address was, even by MSNBC standards, disconnected from reality and more akin to something one might expect from North Korean state media.
