On her MSNBC show, Katie Phang enlists Mary Trump, niece of Donald, in her war against media coverage of Republicans. Mary says she is shocked that networks give Republicans equal time, and says it is a sign of a "deeply broken system" that Trump is permitted to run for president at all!

During a recent appearance on the podcast Roland Martin Unfiltered, the always unhinged Elie Mystal who serves as the justice correspondent for the left-wing rag The Nation, melted down when previewing upcoming decisions the United States Supreme Court is due to hand down. The case that got Mystal especially triggered is a case on the constitutionality of certain sections of the…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid had some gloomy and hysterical predictions for what the future holds if America elects “toy-sized Mussolini Ron DeSantis” in 2024 on Tuesday’s installment of The ReidOut. As Reid tells it if DeSantis were to become president, America would turn into “China, Cuba, North Korea, Afghanistan, or Iran.”

The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin and New York Times national politics reporter Astead Herndon joined Tuesday’s CNN This Morning to discuss Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign and the state of the 2024 GOP Primary. During the conversation, Herndon would accuse DeSantis and former President Donald Trump of “outgrievancing” each other because that is what…

Jeffrey Schweers, Tallahassee bureau reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, marked Gov. Ron DeSantis’s official entry into the presidential race with a 4,600-word story on Sunday’s front page, “Who Is Ron DeSantis?” The front-page jump leads to a two-page spread inside the paper, both pages headlined with quotes accusing DeSantis of arrogance and bullying. DeSantis was previously…

Tuesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. featured an unusually testy interview, conducted by journalist Walter Isaacson, with Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review.

On Wednesday, Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis made his long-awaited presidential campaign announcement during a Twitter space with Elon Musk followed by numerous appearances on cable news and radio.

Leaning into the stereotype of white liberals being the most obsessed with race, Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Joseph Gerth used his Thursday column to smear Kentucky Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron (R) as a betrayal to his black skin for incorrect views on education, health care, policing, and welfare to instead embody “the Black man who doesn’t…

On Thursday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were ebullient at the initial technical failures of Twitter Spaces for Governor Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) 2024 presidential campaign announcement, seeking to kill DeSantis’s campaign and clear the GOP field. Over five different segments, they barely touched on what DeSantis said and instead reveled in the “mess” that was “…

How many PolitiFact fact-checkers does it take to fact-check a presidential announcement? Apparently four, as that is how many reporters it took to assess seven statements from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Wednesday campaign launch on Twitter Spaces.

On Wednesday morning ahead of Governor Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) 2024 presidential announcement with Twitter owner Elon Musk, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC lambasted DeSantis from the left and touted former President Trump’s attacks, all in an attempt to bury DeSantis before he officially enters the race.

MSNBC’s Wednesday edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports welcomed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to the 2024 presidential campaign by declaring him to be “the face of the erosion of those freedoms.” What MSNBC meant by “those freedoms” was just a grab bag of social liberalism and fake news.

This week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis decided to announce his 2024 presidential candidacy on Twitter Spaces, the newest feature on Elon Musk’s Twitter. Musk himself would be co-hosting the event, giving DeSantis access to Musk’s 141 million Twitter followers.
