Campaigns & Elections

The second half of season three of Showtime’s Our Cartoon President began airing on September 13. The episode titled “Coronavirus” was more of the same from the Stephen Colbert created animated political series.

After boasting about the “deluge” of anti-Trump books (7) published in the last 10 days (with more to come ahead of the election), NBC political director and moderator of Meet the Press, Chuck Todd was worried. He was concerned that the media were losing their “power” to “shame” President Trump and politicians as a whole.

Appearing on MSNBC's AM Joy show, Dan Rather says the election is a choice between "white supremacy," and "freedom and democracy." He tells guest host Jonathan Capehart that it is "very realistic" to be afraid that President Trump will win. When talk turns to an allegation by a Department of Homeland Security "whistleblower" that he was pressured to downplay facts that President Trump…

On Saturday morning, Today co-host Peter Alexander was throwing hardballs at RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, who gave as good as she got. Much like the contentious Lara Trump interview a few weeks ago, NBC is pushing the Trump team around, and Team Biden gets to hide from scrutiny.

Guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC on Friday night, Samuel L. Jackson aired what was supposed to be a satirical ad for President Trump's re-election, but instead of being funny--a comic's main job-- it was just a laundry list of Jackson's many grievances against Trump and urged his supporters to seek medical help.

Uh-oh.

Over at The Political Insider is this headline: "Atlantic Editor Admits Story About Trump Disparaging Fallen Soldiers Could Be Wrong." The story in question is the supposed “bombshell” that on a visit to Europe the President’s visit to a military cemetery was cancelled not because of bad weather, as the White House had said at the time, but because the President…

Guest hosting the AM Joy show on MSNBC, Jonathan Capehart, in a rude, interrupting, and accusatory interview, tries and fails to corner Rudy Giuliani regarding his contacts with Andrii Derkach, a Ukrainian legislator who the Treasury department has determined to be a Russian agent. 

Bizarrely, Chuck Todd took a moment on MTP Daily on September 11 to mourn that we don’t have the same national unity and resolve today that we did after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This came about ten minutes after he opened the show by saying the virus takes a 9/11 death toll every week, and that President Trump is irresponsibly downplaying the threat. Chuck is just Captain Unity.…

Here's another classic case of hypocrisy from The View. Co-host Joy Behar opened Friday's show asking her fellow co-hosts if they were concerned about polls showing over 50 percent of voters in swing states are concerned about Joe Biden and Donald Trump's mental fitness for office.  

But co-host Sunny Hostin tried to pretend that she was above questioning a politician…

Friday on The View, Republican turncoat John Kasich told co-host Meghan McCain not to be worried that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would be a radically pro-abortion administration. Kasich, who endorsed Biden at the Democratic National Convention last month, assured the fellow pro-life, never-Trumper that Biden’s “character” wouldn’t allow him to actually follow through on the leftist…

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski quotes from her hubby's latest Washington Post column in which he wrote that "many working-class Americans have been voting against their own economic interests for so long," by which he meant, voting for Republicans. That is a notion popularized in the book What's the Matter with Kansas? by leftist author Thomas Frank.

After repeatedly sowing fear and doubt about a potential COVID-19 vaccine in an effort to undermine President Trump’s handling of the pandemic, on Friday, NBC’s Today show was suddenly concerned by a new poll showing that many Americans would not trust a vaccine developed under the Trump administration. Of course rather than blame themselves for politicizing the vital medical research, the…

Although Netflix has become a cesspool of liberal propaganda, the streaming service does occasionally get something right. A new Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma highlights the power that Big Tech companies have over the way that the modern world interacts, including the role that these companies play in elections. The film was released on September 9.

Let’s focus on the nastiness of blaming hundreds of thousands of deaths on the president. Imagine, for a minute, that President Hillary Clinton was in power when the coronavirus arrived from China. Would the press place a single death at the White House door?
