CNN Inside Politics host John King agreed with Democratic strategist Paul Begala on Thursday that Republican attacks against Critical Race Theory were nothing more than racist dog whistles for suburbanites who don't like diversity. At one point, King went so far as to echo Democratic allegations that it was a "horses***" issue.

While Democrats try to dig out from their electoral disaster on Tuesday, Morning Joe has come up with an explanation for Biden's unpopularity, which dragged Dems down across the country: it's Trump's fault! As Mika Brzezinski put it on Thursday: "This administration is grappling with the problems that it adopted from the last administration, these problems are in some ways either…

As Democrats ponder their newly vulnerable electoral state, here’s a New York Times headline that’s a neat encapsulation of media bias: “Republicans Pounce on Schools as a Wedge Issue to Unite the Party.” That's the online headline to the front-page Thursday story by Lisa Lerer and Jeremy Peters. It’s two liberal media tropes in one line: the idea of Republicans cynically “pouncing”…

In the past two weeks, CNN and MSNBC have shown multiple double standards by peddling misinformation about Texas's congressional redistricting plan to accuse Republicans of cutting minority representation in the state while ignoring aggressive gerrymandering by Illinois Democrats. It was even wrongly suggested that Republicans would prevent any black members of Congress from being elected in…

Early indications are the liberal journos STILL haven’t quite learned their lesson, as they pouted and whined about Youngkin’s strategy of “weaponizing race” with CRT,  as seen in the following post-Election outbursts.

Sparks flashed on Cuomo Prime Time as Republican Scott Jennings, former special assistant to President George W. Bush, confronted Chris “Fredo” Cuomo and the Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens on the heinous lies that were spewed against Virginia’s governor-elect, Glenn Youngkin (R). Jennings called out the falsehoods and had Cuomo on his heels as he yelled at the CNN host about the…

It’s time for the post-election Bitter Tears Edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, recounting the media meltdowns as the Republicans took over all the statewide elections in Virginia and retook the House of Delegates. When our media Democrats figure out they’re going to lose, the anger about the “whitelash” is guaranteed. Losing politicians might concede with grace, but journalists seldom do.…

The liberal media’s immediate reaction to the left’s defeat in Virginia on Election Day was to start screaming at the state and accusing voters of forwarding a racist agenda because Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) had promised to get Critical Race Theory out of schools there. But to help perpetuate the false narrative, they ignored how those same Virginia voters elected Winsome Sears (R), a…

Just when you think we had covered all of the MSNBC meltdowns from Tuesday night over the results of the Virginia gubernatorial election and down ballot races, there were plenty more to cover from both late Tuesday and early Wednesday that, as we saw in the previous coverage, ranged from despondence to hysteria to denial of basic reality. Co-hosts Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and Brian Williams…

A surefire sign that you’re losing an argument is when you resort to personally attacking your opponent. After Democrats lost in Virginia’s gubernatorial election Tuesday night, the media pulled out the race card from 2016, saying that the Republican candidate won because of racist whites (even though Republicans also elected the first black female lieutenant governor).

Joe Scarborough didn't name names. He wants, after all, to be able to walk through the MSNBC cafeteria without being hit in the back of the head with a kale-quinoa salad. But the Morning Joe host did take repeated shots this morning at MSNBC colleagues like Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid who last night blamed McAuliffe's loss on Youngkin focusing on Critical Race Theory even though, they claimed…

After NBC and the rest of the leftist media blatantly lied about Critical Race Theory “not being taught” in Virginia schools ahead of Tuesday’s gubernatorial race, on Wednesday’s Today show, White House correspondent Kristen Welker hypocritically admitted that failed Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe probably shouldn’t have dismissed the issue.

As the Virginia gubernatorial election returns were coming in Tuesday night showing Republican Glenn Youngkin on the verge of victory, RedState’s Nick Arama highlighted how “shell-shocked” liberal political analyst Larry Sabato appeared on MSNBC and mourned that “one of the people high up in the McAuliffe campaign called it what it was — a ‘bloodbath.’”

Only after Republican Glenn Youngkin won the race for governor in Virginia on Tuesday did ABC feel like doing some real journalism and go into the commonwealth to speak with parents and Democrats that swung for the other party this time around. In a Nightline report, those parents spelled out how they trusted Youngkin with their children’s education and that their opposition to…
