Jim VandeHei, the co-founder and CEO of Axios.com entered a secular confessional on Friday morning to admit "the media remains fairly clueless" about a few things, based on the election returns. These introspective rituals sound good, but the idea that anyone will change their actual reporting going forward is probably not something anyone should bet a Big Mac on. 

On Friday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany held a formal press briefing for the first time in almost two months and, as expected, she didn’t disappoint by opening with a timeline on coronavirus vaccines the liberal media so desperately worked to undermine and ended by smacking down the hurt feelings of liberal reporters like CNN’s Kaitlan Collins after they weren’t called on.

Just how much do liberal media types think and obsess over Barack Obama? Jimmy Kimmel talked to the former President on Thursday and, in between all the gushing about ObamaCare, offered a gross new low. He asked this: “So on the night you did kill bin Laden, did you and Michelle make love?” 

Appearing on Thursday’s Late Night With Seth Meyers, aired early Friday morning, far-left filmmaker Michael Moore assured the NBC host that Joe Biden would sign on to a whole list of socialist agenda items, assuming Democrats were able to win control of the U.S. Senate after Georgia’s January 5th runoff election. Moore was certain that Biden “in his heart is with us.”

Associated Press Washington Bureau Chief Julie Pace penned an "analysis" that sounded off with anger, bordering on rage, over President Donald Trump seeking verification of election results.

Morning Joe praises Fox News personalities who have become increasingly critical of President Trump, and in particular of the efforts of the Trump campaign to contest the election results. Joe Scarborough also not-so-subtly brags about Morning Joe having recently beaten rival Fox & Friends in the ratings. 

Liberals hate mingling church and state...unless the church sounds "progressive." Sam Stein of the Daily Beast asked: “Why are Raphael Warnock’s faith and sermons fair game for attack, but Amy Coney Barrett’s religious views not?” Barrett was attacked by the press, but they're going soft on Warnock, who rushed to the defense of Obama's hate-spewing pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. 

On Wednesday's The 11th Hour show, MSNBC host Brian Williams put a negative spin on the recent appointment of five young conservative justices to the federal courts, making "elections have consequences" the theme of his closing commentary.

Continuing his crusade of hate and rage against all Republicans Thursday’s PrimeTime, CNN host Chris Cuomo set his sights on Emily Murphy, the head of the General Service Administration, claiming she was “smiling while you’re dying” of coronavirus. On top of that, he accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) of “playing with the pandemic” and getting people killed.

MTP Daily host Chuck Todd concluded his Thursday show on MSNBC with historian Michael Beschloss by commemorating the 157th anniversary of President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. For Todd and Beschloss, the anniversary was another reminder that President Trump is a failure, but that there is hope that Joe Biden could be the Lincoln-esque figure the country needs.

A day before she accused Trump’s legal team of engaging in “sedition,” MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid managed on Wednesday to mangle an on-air correction (after being called out by NewsBusters), shout down a Black ex-Trump aide, smear White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and imply criticism of Susan Rice was racist.

Do they want cops dead? It might sound like a hyperbolic question but when there’s a video of a car accelerating towards sheriff’s deputies and NBC Nightly News was upset they killed the driver behind the wheel, it becomes a valid question. Especially when they’re using the incident to push a race-baiting agenda and trying to defund the police.

Unbelievable as it sounds, the media may actually miss Donald Trump if he departs the White House in January – who else will they blame hate crimes on if he’s no longer in office? New York Times reporter Tim Arango jumped on what may be the paper’s last chance to blame physical assaults against minorities on the president, in Tuesday’s: “Hate Crimes At Highest Since 2008, F.B.I. Reports.” The…

If anyone was hoping the third time would be the charm for consistently constructive or tough questions at a post-election Joe Biden press conference, Thursday illustrated that such a hope was a fool’s errand. Over the course of the 15-minute availability, the Biden team had the former vice president receive questions from only four reporters with three of them offering softballs.
