MSNBC Would Have Asked Biden About Reade Sooner...But Coronavirus

Hours after Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski grilled presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden over sexual assault allegations against him, political correspondent Mike Memoli appeared on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports to suggest that the coronavirus pandemic was the reason that much of the media were slow to cover the scandal.

Teen Vogue Teaches Kids: ‘Reopen Protests Are Motivated By Racism’

"Racists Are Going To Racist, And This Pandemic Is No Different," blared the headline on Twitter. "‘Reopen’ Protests Are Motivated By Racism, Lack of Concern for Black and Brown Lives," screamed the cover title. A helpful subtitle explained, “This op-ed argues that the calls to ‘liberate’ America are rooted in white entitlement.” All courtesy of everyone's favorite childish social justice warrior…

As 30 Million Lose Jobs, Redford Sees Climate Salvation Via Virus

Actor Robert Redford is a Trump-hater and climate change nut. And the coronavirus pandemic allows him to indulge in both passions, writing NBC op-eds about how bad the virus makes the president look and how it also presents us with an opportunity to make our post-quarantine lives part of a new climate-conscious collective.

Delusional CNN Rewrites Biden History, Hits MSNBC as Dem's ‘Home Team'

CNN journalists seem to be switching to an alternate reality when it comes to the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations. The network that didn’t cover the story at all for a month now says that “the media has been reporting on this extensively.” On Friday's New Day, Dana Bash derided competitor MSNBC, where Biden finally gave an interview on the topic, as a “home team” venue for the Democrat.

Politico Now Calls Economy ‘Trump’s Coronavirus Economy’

It finally happened. A liberal outlet got around to saying this was President Donald Trump’s economy, but only because it’s being wrecked by the Wuhan coronavirus. In an April 29, Politico Playbook PM newsletter, which aggregates top headlines, Politico had this disgusting headline take the #2 spot in its list written in all caps: “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S CORONAVIRUS ECONOMY."

Instead of showing seriousness and sobriety during this pandemic, camera-hawking, far-left egotists picked fights with President Donald Trump only to cry foul afterward to sympathetic colleagues. MRC analysts combed through our archives of the briefings to resurrect…

Kimmel Complains Trump ‘Feeding Wingnuts’ by ‘Blaming’ China for Virus

Thursday, President Trump sent the media into their latest tailspin by saying he had seen evidence that the coronavirus originated in a lab in China. This is not a new theory and is actually being investigated by the United States government. But apparently late-night host Jimmy Kimmel knows more than our own intelligence officials. On his show Thursday night, he claimed it was a crazy conspiracy…

Column: Michelle Obama, Saintly Buck-Raker?

The Obamas were awarded a book deal worth an estimated $65 million for their memoirs, hers and then his. They also struck an estimated $50 million production deal with Netflix. (We don’t have actual numbers. Could someone in the media ask for a tax return?) Now, with this self-aggrandizing documentary about Michelle's book tour on Netflix, the second deal is being used to accentuate the profits…
