MSNBC Melts Down Over Rittenhouse: 'White Supremacist Terrorists' Won
The same network whose reporter was caught stalking the Kyle Rittenhouse case jury yesterday, behaved in the same abominable fashion today after the jury didn’t rule the way they wanted them to.

MSNBC’s hate-spewing Joy Reid on Friday reacted to Kyle Rittenhouse being acquitted pretty much how you would expect her to.

SAD TROMBONE: NBC Attacks Rittenhouse's ‘Vigilantism’ After Verdict
In contrast to the sober reactions ABC and CBS offered on the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, NBC News was less composed on Friday afternoon as two analysts fretted Rittenhouse’s innocence was a sad commentary on the “toxic” and “the really dangerous combination of liberal self-defense laws...and the accessibility of guns” with a “vindication of vigilantism” that could lead to more…
MSNBC Analyst: Rittenhouse Like A Bank Robber Shooting His Way Out
On MTP Daily on MSNBC, Joyce Vance, an MSNBC legal analyst and former Obama appointee as a US Attorney, commenting on Kyle Rittenouse's acquittal, says: " this strikes me as an odd situation for self-defense.

Washington Post Memory-Holes and Alters Steele Dossier Stories
2845.

Seething Scarborough—Dems Must Overturn Filibuster for 'Voting Rights'
Joe Scarborough's leftward lurch continues apace. We've documented Scarborough's support for a variety of liberal positions, with a particular emphasis on what the Democrats euphemistically call their "voting rights" bill. Last month, we noted Scarborough analogizing Republican opposition to the bill to George Wallace standing in the schoolhouse door. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough took…
Column: Joy Reid and White Male Tears
MSNBC host Joy Reid is the only minority host on her network from noon to midnight, so it’s only natural she would be most expected to lecture on the evils of whiteness, especially white male-ness.
