Is Stacey Abrams, Beto 2.0? The failed gubernatorial candidate has become the latest media darling, with CBS, NBC and ABC already having touting her as Joe Biden’s ideal Vice President pick. After doing just that earlier this week, the hosts of The View then invited Abrams on the show Wednesday to boast why she she would make an “excellent” Vice President. As Meghan McCain was absent, Abrams only…

CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King on Tuesday cheered on Democrat Stacey Abrams’s very public campaign to become Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick. King also coached Abrams on how to apply for the job, touting her “great” answer to one  question.

Could liberal billionaire George Soros be more disgusting? He’s using his super PAC to exploit the coronavirus and attack President Donald Trump and using the issue of abortion to do it.Federal Election Commission data revealed that Soros’s Democracy PAC gave $1 million to the radical pro-abortion group NARAL Freedom Fund. "A new ad from the abortion rights group NARAL Freedom Fund features young…

Joe Biden: start measuring those Oval Office curtains today! It's all over but the shouting, folks. The election's done and dusted, and Ol' Joe has won! That is, if you believe MSNBC's Donny Deutsch. On today's Morning Joe, Deutsch accused President Trump of behaving like a political "moron," claimed he "will not recover" from his handling of the coronavirus, and concluded that the virus "will be…

After completely ignoring previous polls that showed President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis getting majority support, NBC political director Chuck Todd used a portion of Sunday’s Meet the Press to whine that a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll had found the President’s approval rating was unmoved from a year ago, despite his impeachment and the pandemic.

Joy Reid's show on MSNBC provides a virtual parody of liberal-elite condescension to Trump supporters. Reid found it "confusing" that Trump's populist base supports him despite supposedly not "getting anything economically out of this plutocracy." The New Yorker's Jane Mayer explained to Reid that Trump's "racist and anger-laced" rhetoric "excites the lower-educated part of his base, the white-…

Journalists in the news media are used to covering for Joe Biden’s gaffes. In the spring of 2020, the networks have been maintaining silence over accusations of sexual abuse against the ex-vice president by a former staffer. But considering that both Biden and China are very much in the news these days, we thought it might be instructive to look back at another Biden Blunder. On August 21, 2011,…

On MSNBC Friday afternoon, co-anchors Brian Williams and Katy Tur denounced President Trump for urging some states less impacted by the coronavirus to gradually reopen. Williams claimed Trump was trying to stoke “populist prairie fire” against Democratic governors “who so far have been adept in handling this virus.”

Joe Biden’s fan club at The View found time on Friday’s show to talk about his 2020 campaign, but not about the sexual assault allegation against him. The hosts were discussing a Washington Post article suggesting the Democrat frontrunner’s campaign could lose steam, as the national lockdown drags on. However, co-host Joy Behar was so unconcerned about his chances that she confidently proclaimed…

After MSNBC host Rachel Maddow mocked Michiganders protesting their Democrat governor’s draconian stay-at-home measures on her Wednesday night show, Maddow brought on that governor for a softball interview full of flattery, Thursday. Maddow even ended the interview entertaining the idea that the Democrat governor could be our next Vice President.  

This Thursday’s edition of CNN’s coronavirus town hall turned into a Democratic Party campaign event when co-hosts Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta invited former Vice President Joe Biden onto the show to rip President Trump, and opine about how he would do things differently. And while there were frivolous campaign questions asked, neither of the co-hosts had the integrity to question Biden…

While touting recent high-profile endorsements for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, on Wednesday, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle argued that in order to counter the “daily clown show” of President Trrump’s coronavirus briefings, the former Vice President should establish a “shadow government” and hold his own daily press conferences on the pandemic.

When do the liberal media's unctuous interviews of Democrats stop being journalism and start constituting campaign contributions-in-kind? The question arises again today in the context of Morning Joe's fawning interview of Joe Biden.
