MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and NBC national reporter Bracey Harris teamed up on the former’s Monday show to discuss Arkansas’s announcement that AP African American Studies will not count towards graduation credits because it is still a pilot program. Extrapolating from that, the duo suggested the state will not teach about the Little Rock Nine, which is simply not true.

In the latest example of a tax-funded media outlet blurring obvious biological lines for ideological purposes, PBS News Weekend’s Saturday edition celebrated a Montana teen, “assigned female at birth,” who started taking puberty blockers at 14 and “feels a connection to masculinity.” Host John Yang introduced the segment on Montana “banning certain medical treatments for minors with gender…

Over the weekend, Politico reported the existence of a 2022 letter from Hunter Biden's lawyers were "ready to put President Biden on the stand" as a "fact witness" for the defense of his son Hunter. This would, as Fox News Channel's Special Report anchor noted would have put President Biden "in a very tough position." Despite the news of this near-legal drama of the sitting President being…

Is the GOP campaign coverage in 2023 turning out a lot like 2015? Is Trump dominating the media? A new MRC evening-news study by Rich Noyes found that Trump's share of Republican media coverage is twice as big a share of the overall percentage as the last time the primary was open eight years ago.

Even a milquetoast Republican who hates Donald Trump just as much as they do isn’t safe on MSNBC. At least that was the case on Monday afternoon when former Arkansas Republican governor Asa Hutchinson appeared on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House in what he probably thought was going to be a friendly, softball interview with host Nicolle Wallace and her assembled cast. Things turned south very…

Chronically the third-place cable news outlet, CNN was the little goblin biting at the ankles of Fox News, the cable news giant. So, of course, it brought CNN great joy to see that former President Trump had chosen to avoid taking part in the first Republican presidential debate, which was hosted by their rival. Senior media correspondent Oliver Darcy beamed on Monday as he boasted about Trump…

Showing disrespect for Republican primary voters, former President Trump announced Sunday night that he would not be attending the first Republican primary debate later in the week with reports suggesting he was planning to counterprogram the event with an interview with Tucker Carlson. ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings welcomed the internal party drama and hyped Trump’s attempt to…

A new Media Research Center study finds the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts focused 74% of their GOP campaign coverage on Donald Trump, with the remaining candidates forced to split the remaining airtime. Most TV coverage of Trump (90%) was negative, but the media also bashed his nearest challenger Ron DeSantis (78% negative).

When Jake Tapper tried to claim it was wildly wrong for Fox host Laura Ingraham to suggest liberal networks were reveling in the Trump indictments, he should have imagined MSNBC regulars sounding giddy at Trump being arraigned in Georgia in "a really dirty, dangerous scary place," where he could end up "really freaked out."

MSNBC historian Jon Meacham gives his usual partisan Biden-boosting advice that the only way for the Republican party to fix itself is to keep on losing.

Former Virginia Attorney General and founder of the DeSantis-aligned Super PAC Never Back Down, Ken Cuccinelli confronted CNN's State of the Union fill-in anchor for deceptively editing comments made by Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis to make it seem like he called Trump supporters "listless vessels." Regardless of whom you support for the Republican nomination, everyone should…

Trump and Biden drew very different spins on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday. In their "Week In Politics segment," Trump was in grave peril from indictments, while Biden was the second coming of Jimmy Carter at Camp David. Having Asian leaders in "elevates Joe Biden's presidency."

Is the media starting to panic? Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd put up a graphic during his roundtable discussion which compared President Joe Biden's most recent standing in the polls with where he was in October 2020, as well as Hillary Clinton's poll numbers in October 2016. This clearly made him nervous since Biden is far behind where both he and Clinton were. Of course, he couldn't…

NBC's Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd opened his program on Sunday with a mini temper tantrum due to the majority of the 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls and even President Joe Biden steering away from attacking former President Donald Trump in the manner Todd demands. Of course, the icing on the cake was Todd's insistence that Republicans staying "silent has left a massive moral…
