Capitol Hill Riot

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that just like Jesus in the Elton John "Tower of Babel" song didn't help people in the Tower, Donald Trump won't help people violating the law while protesting his possible arrest in NYC.

On her MSNBC show, Katie Phang, and MSNBC legal analysts Glenn Kirschner and Charles Coleman all opine that Donald Trump's message calling on supporters to "protest, take back the nation" could result in additional criminal charges against him. They ignore that as a senator, Kamala Harris gave a speech entitled, "Taking Back Our Country." She used the phrase at least six times. 

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski has the producer replay clips of Republican senators apparently criticizing Tucker Carlson's take on the January 6 riot, and urges her viewers to share the clip with their "Fox News-loving family members." But Mika's clips mangled the soundbites. Several Republicans denounced riot denial on both sides of the aisle.

At one time, the "news media" tried to give us something like just-the-facts journalism. But today they give us a liberal narrative and expect us to accept it as "news." Anything less than the liberal narrative is "misleading" or "false."

On her MSNBC show, Katie Phang suggests to Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell that Fox News be subject to "congressional oversight" and "gatekeeping." In response, Swalwell suggests that we "need to take a look at how [Fox News] is being broadcast to our troops," ominously concluding: "So I don't think we are without complete recourse."

Jan. 6 was, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer explained that the riot of Jan. 6 was a "violent insurrection." And in order to preserve democracy, Schumer stated, Fox News should take Tucker Carlson off the air. What, pray tell, did Carlson do that merited the Senate Majority…

With disclosure after disclosure of e-mails and text messages from Fox News executives, hosts, and journalists released over the last month as part of a Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) giving Tucker Carlson’s team access to January 6 surveillance, Fox News has been in the headlines and, sure enough, the liberal networks that want to see the network eradicated…

The liberals at PolitiFact whacked Tucker Carlson with a "Pants on Fire" check for his video clips on "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley, suggesting police were like "tour guides." These "independent fact checkers" have never evaluated any Anderson Cooper statement, and Chris Hayes has only a "True" and a "Half True" in the last 12 years. Carlson has NINE "Pants on Fire" ratings.

On Morning Joe, discussing revelations that Fox News people said critical things in private about Trump, but something very different on the air, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius says: "You have a sense that, like the Republican politicians you and I were talking about, Fox is chasing what it imagines its viewers, the public on the right, want to hear. And that's just…

Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently aired on his show portions of the Jan. 6th video footage he received from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Carlson claims the previously unseen video shows a broader picture than the narrow one crafted by the House Select Committee. Carlson asserts the videos, which were reportedly cherry-picked and heavily edited, present a more complete narrative than the…

The unglued freakout over Fox host Tucker Carlson airing Capitol Police clips of the January 6 riot underlines that the Left cannot stand any attempt to undercut the Pelosi-Picked Plotline. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer told Rupert Murdoch he shouldn't allow Carlson to air a second night of January 6 counter-testimony.

With briefings on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has had a lot of camera time as of late and the liberal media came at her with questions of substance and activism. Most notably, they’ve hit her from the left on the D.C. crime bill, Florida and Texas addressing the Biden border crisis, illegal immigration, Tennessee passing legislation…

Morning Joe expresses frustration with Republicans for not going after Donald Trump harder in the context of the 2024 GOP primary. Eugene Robinson best summed up the panel's mood: "If you're going to not have Donald Trump as your nominee, you'd better take him down! You better go after him."

On Morning Joe, ripping into Senator Josh Hawley [R-MO], Scarborough says this, commenting on a photo of Hawley raising his fist in support of the crowd at the Trump rally that preceded the January 6th riot:"The guy with the bird-bone hands. Doing the power-to-the-people signal. Raised fist of a bird. I'll tell you what: a brisk wind could break that arm—right off. He needs to be careful."…
