For MSNBC, not all conspiracy theories are created equal. When a Democrat is engaging in them, they get invitations for softball interviews such as when California Rep. Sarah Jacobs joined Saturday’s Alex Witt Reports to suggest that Florida’s 15-week abortion ban will lead to teenagers having their menstrual health data weaponized against them.

Gay rom Com Bros is bombing at the box office? Why? The film’s content may be partly to blame. Most rom-coms don’t deliver hardcore sex scenes, something Bros” does repeatedly. Eichner’s social media presence is combative, to say the least. His  hard-left politics could have chased some viewers away.

The networks found their 2022 October Surprise, a Republican candidate to pounce on and work to destroy the GOP’s chances in the midterms. In less than a week, ABC, CBS and NBC have devoted over 27 minutes to the Herschel Walker story and whether the Georgia Republican senatorial candidate paid for an abortion in 2009. 

MSNBC’s Katie Phang used her Saturday show to allege that the Republican response to the Herschel Walker-abortion allegations prove that they aren’t really pro-life because “it was always about being pro-power.” Co-host of the Democracy-ish podcast, Danielle Moodie agreed, claiming Republicans use that power to be the party of “cruelty and oppression” for “millions of people with uteruses.”…

Joseph Wulfsohn at Fox News reports that audiences are leaving the Old Media late-night "comedy" shows now the Trump era is over, but the #Resistance model of partisan hot takes remains.  

Just when the liberal media hoped and prayed that the Hunter Biden story would stay dead in 2022, The Washington Post reported the feds may have the goods on Hunter's tax evasion. How did the networks greet this story? (Hint: PBS and NPR pretended it didn't happen.)

Nowadays when you hear that a reporter covers "misinformation and content moderation" you know they support censorship, although they absolutely hate that ugly but accurate description. And among the reporters with such a job description is Rebecca Kern of Politico.

WASHINGTON -- Whatever happened to the Russian Army? For that matter, whatever happened to the Russian Air Force or the Russian Navy whose flagship is now at the bottom of the Black Sea? The answer is nothing. Nothing has happened to the Russian military for 50 years, and President Vladimir Putin should have thought twice before heaving his armed forces into war.

In the first 70 minutes of Friday's Morning Joe, the panel mentions no fewer than 17 times the need for an "off-ramp" for Putin in order to end the war in Ukraine. But no one advances a realistic scenario of what such an off-ramp might be.

New York Times Supreme Court reporter Adam Liptak made Monday’s front page under the online headline “As New Term Starts, Supreme Court Poised to Resume Rightward Push.” It’s a constant theme for Liptak, closely connected to his parallel obsession, the court’s loss of public legitimacy, which somehow occurred after the left stopped having everything its own way with the addition of three…

The broken clock that is ABC’s The View struck (mostly) correct on Friday as most of the cast was in favor of making cowardly Democrats debate their Republican opponents before the midterm elections in a month. Suggesting the Democrats were refusing to debate “election deniers,” the cast called it “not fair” to voters and told them participating in debates was “their job.” Only one, Sunny…

ABC relented on Friday morning and covered the breaking news that Joe Biden’s son Hunter may be on the verge of federal criminal charges. After ignoring the latest on Thursday night, Good Morning America allowed 172 seconds. George Stephanopoulos warned at the top of the show: “Under pressure. The new report on the investigation into Hunter Biden on possible tax and other charges. It’s nearing…

MSNBC has an explanation for why gas prices are on the rise again and it’s not President Biden’s terrible foreign and energy policy. Ali Velshi guest hosted The Last Word on Thursday and together with journalism and political science professor Peter Beinart, he blamed Saudi Arabia’s decision to cut production as part of a pro-GOP, anti-Democratic Party conspiracy.

Conservative CNN commentator Mary Katherine Ham announced on her Substack that CNN "quiet suspended" her for seven months for speaking out on Twitter against Jeffrey Toobin's shocking masturbation in front of women on a Zoom call.
