As allegedly straightforward journalists seek to aid Democrats in their mission to pin the government shutdown on Republicans, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes joined Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast on Thursday to sabotage that message and praise Democrats for shutting down the government.

It was a Democratic wave election, and the journalists went surfing. The amount of TV coverage of off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City was minimal this fall, perhaps because Democrats were feeling good about their chances and didn't want to give publicity to their opponents. Negative angles on Zohran Mamdani or Jay Jones were ignored or downplayed. MRCTV's Brittany…

On Thursday, Sean Dunn, the man charged with assaulting a border patrol agent with a sandwich, was found not guilty, and CBS’s Stephen Colbert was eager to celebrate. The Late Show host mocked the idea that a sandwich posed a grave enough threat to the officer to merit the charges by hurling a Subway sandwich at a boxing dummy using a T-shirt cannon.

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

Zohran Mamdani surged to an easy victory as the “democratic socialist” mayor of New York City, complete with media enthusiasm that carried echoes of silly Obama love songs. The badly named “mainstream media” earnestly promoted the most extreme candidate.

For the past 37 days, the Acela Media have done everything in their power to frame the ongoing government shutdown as a Republican shutdown. But, despite their best efforts, some cracks are beginning to form giving way to a glimmer of truth.

The PBS News Hour hailed the new book Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department, co-written by Aaron Davis of the Washington Post and Carol Leonnig, now at MSNBC after 25 years at the Post and co-author of two previous anti-Trump books. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett interviewed the pair on Tuesday’s News Hour. The…

Joe Scarborough used to be a hawk on immigration and border security, saying there was "an ongoing invasion of illegal immigrants from Mexico" that included "drug dealers, gang members, convicted felons, and quite possibly terrorists." But he has transitioned into an immigration dove. On Morning Joe, he approvingly quotes Pope Leo who says we must treat foreigners as our neighbors. And…

The media's changing portrayal of Andrew Cuomo contrasts starkly from adoration during early Covid-19 to disdain after his career's decline, amid scandals. Once celebrated for leadership contrasting Trump's, Cuomo's fall shows how media favor can shift drastically if one defies the approved narrative. Critics now emphasize his bullying, suggesting media love hinges on alignment with their…

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who leaped into 2028 Democrat presidential front-runner status in the wake of the passage of Proposition 50, recently said former President Joe Biden “was one of the most successful presidents in the last century.” Newsom also expressed disdain for politicians who “lie.” Responding to a question about whether he intends to run for president, Newsom said: “(There’s…

After Wednesday’s CBS Evening News peddled the supposed sob story about an illegal immigrant daycare worker being arrested in Chicago, its morning counterpart CBS Mornings was joined by ABC’s Good Morning America in doubling down on what the left has dubbed another kidnapping and heartless Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents storming a daycare, terrorizing…

During Wednesday’s jubilations for Democratic victories across the board the night prior, MSNBC’s Katy Tur claimed New York City’s wealthiest won’t leave because of the immense amount of culture on offer. Her guests also supported the idea that electing Zohran Mamdani (D) won’t scare off the one percent and subsequently bankrupt the city.

One big word worth learning is “schadenfreude.” Schadenfreude is “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.” Nothing better captures the perverse pleasure that Democrats are deriving from the pain inflicted on our country caused by the government shutdown. Democrats precipitated this shutdown to force Republicans to back off efforts to turn around our suicidal growth of…

Thursday’s Good Morning America illustrated its chronic and severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome as the ABC News program seemed skeptical of President Trump’s declarations of Nigerian Christians facing religious persecution and slaughter. Yes, ABC sure came across as doubting Nigeria has a problem with religious tolerance....because Donald Trump argued the opposite. Oh, and…
