2020 Presidential

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.

Facebook has reached a whole new level in its censorship practices, and is not at all shy to tell reporters about it. In a recent call with reporters, Facebook’s Vice President of Integrity, Guy Rosen, revealed the specific numbers of how many posts were flagged or removed after Facebook considered them to constitute “misinformation.” 

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. 

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.

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.

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.

The Hill opinion columnist Joe Concha nuked the “marshmallow media” for consistently lobbing “T-ball” questions at former Vice President Joe Biden in the relatively few press conferences he’s held since clinching the Democratic nomination. 

After four years, all the media really has on Donald Trump and his family is fictional slander. Considering that the latest hit against the Trumps comes from a dejected former best friend of Ivanka Trump’s intended to make her look like a brat, rock bottom doesn’t begin to describe where the media’s at in their war with that baaaaad orange man.

I admit it: I sometimes feel like writing about Keith Richards. I’m a fan. But since there are few situations when writing about Keef isn’t a non sequitur, I mostly confine myself to brief Facebook appreciations of say, the slashing rhythm guitar on “All Down the Line,” or the delicate arpeggios on “Love in Vain.” Would that Politico’s John F. Harris had my discipline.

Twitter censored multiple conservative commentators shortly after they were retweeted by President Donald Trump. Trump supporters being suspended without warning and condemning Twitter leadership via Parler may be a sign of the times. “Twitter has suspended the accounts of journalist and videographer Savanah Hernandez (@sav_says_) and historical and conservative commentator going by ‘Stonewall…

New York Times blowhard economist Paul Krugman is trying to cope with not getting the “blue wave” referendum on Trumpism he wanted out of the 2020 election. Now, Krugman has said that a potential GOP senate majority will be — wait for it — “bad for business.”

A Danish study released by 22 medical researchers questioned the effectiveness of masks against COVID-19. But Twitter doesn’t want users to talk about it. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton tweeted on Nov. 18 that “Massive Danish study further confirms masks don’t work and may be dangerous.

On CNN's New Day, the idea is seriously propounded that the media should refuse to report on, or examine the merits of, Republican challenges to election results. CNN has concluded that the challenges are not "serious," and thus that reporting on them would only serve to do the Republicans' work for them.
