MSNBC’s post-election coverage continued Wednesday night and during the 11 PM Eastern hour, the assortment of panelists tried to explain why the economy didn’t dominate in the way it was expected to. For Stephanie Ruhle, this was because while “we’re bitching and moaning” about inflation, “we’re contributing to it,” which makes it less of an electoral issue.

Just when you think MSNBC can't get any lower, they find a way to prove that there is no bottom to their toxic, vile rhetoric. On Wednesday evening's edition of MSNBC's The ReidOut, Democrat strategist and frequent MSNBC guest Kurt Bardella made the viciously sexist comment that if Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert loses her seat in Congress she will open an Only Fans…

The historical averages suggested a "red wave" of some size in the 2022 midterms. But the media's Election Night routine was slightly blander when there was no obvious tilt toward Republicans, but instead a tilt toward all incumbents. We had no cries of "whitelash" or talk of voters throwing two-year-old temper tantrums.

On Wednesday evening, after a disappointing showing for the GOP in Tuesday's midterms, the three leftist evening news broadcasts sought to further alienate the few right-leaning viewers they have by gloating over Democrats exceeding expectations by not getting wiped out as is common during a president's first midterm election. CBS went the extra mile by virtue signaling over the first openly-…

Leftist Axios decided the 2022 midterm election is a perfect excuse to increase online censorship, screeching about supposed “post-Election Day disinformation.”

In light of Ron DeSantis' overwhelming victory in Florida, in which he even carried traditional Democrat stronghold Miama-Dade, Morning Joe taunts Donald Trump, saying "this is Ron DeSantis' party now."

MIAMI – If Republicans could not score their “red wave” victories predicted by many pundits – and even some Democrats – in these midterm elections, what’s next for them? All the issues were on their side – inflation, high gas and food prices, an open border, underperforming schools. If they couldn’t win with this gale wind at their backs, on what issues can they prevail?

MSNBC's Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough and PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton teamed up on Wednesday to react to Stacey Abrams losing Georgia’s gubernatorial election for the second consecutive cycle by comparing her to Moses.

Following most nationwide elections, one of the liberal media’s favorite tropes is to trumpet so-called “historic” winners that assist one in filling out a diversity bingo card. Such was the case Wednesday morning after the lackluster Republican performance as ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship news programs to swoon over Democrat Maxwell Frost winning a dark-blue Orlando-area House seat to…

CNN political commentator and co-host of ABC’s The View, Ana Navarro joined the former’s Wednesday election coverage to react to the results in her native Florida where Gov. Ron DeSantis easily won re-election by almost 20 points. For Navarro, the conventional wisdom about DeSantis is wrong because to get that massive win “he gamed the system” by creating “an unlevel playing field.”…

With the dust still settling from an Election Day that saw record turnout across the country, it’s clear Republican victories were limited with many Trump-backed candidates failing epically. But the cast of ABC’s The View was as miserable as ever, falsely suggesting there was still “tremendous voter suppression” despite admitting there was “huge turnout” and boasting that voters were…

With the results of the midterm election still unknown, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was forced to recycle some of his standard material during his live Tuesday show. With the help of a Gospel choir called “The Silver Lining Singers,” Kimmel blasted the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision and attacked Herschel Walker as “really dumb.”

NPR was roundly bashed on Twitter on Election Night for its florid spin against Arizona's Republican gubernatorial nominee, Kari Lake. The Republicans are election deniers, the Democrats defend election integrity. That spin is tidy. 

Following a disappointing night full of failures (and some highs) for Republicans, the Wednesday morning’s broadcast network news shows each moments of gloating and outright laughter that included claims such as country was reminded to not “bet against Joe Biden,” that January 6 mattered, and voters bought the narrative that Republicans were tied to the Paul Pelosi attack.
