Congress

On Thursday afternoon, MSNBC host Katy Tur devoted a segment to discussing how a Democratic-controlled Congress might legalize abortion nationally in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

On Wednesday's New Day show, CNN co-host Alisyn Camerota misleadingly claimed that "only 20 percent" of Americans support banning abortion as chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin declared that it would be "politically unpopular" to overturn the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

On Tuesday's PBS NewsHour, as she interviewed Wyoming Republican Senator John Barrasso over the issue of filling Ruth Bader Ginsburg's vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, host Judy Woodruff twice framed criticism of Republicans as coming from "the American people" as she spent the entire interview pressing him over the push to confirm a new justice before the election.

Amidst calls for Section 230 reform and antitrust lawsuits against Google and Facebook, a House subcommittee hearing today explored the relationship between Big Tech’s lack of accountability and the radicalization of their respective platforms’ users. 

The House Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce held a hearing entitled “…

Appearing as a guest on Monday's MSNBC Live with Craig Melvin, MSNBC Republican contributor Rick Tyler was again failing to actually sound like a conservative-leaning analyst as he not only agreed with former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards that a Supreme Court confirmation battle would likely benefit Democrats, but he even argued that pro-life conservatives should…

On Monday's The 11th Hour, MSNBC host Brian Williams portrayed it as an act of "courage and patriotism" for Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of a Republican to the U.S. Supreme Court before the election as he wondered if Senator Mitt Romney might join them.

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's MSNBC Live with Alex Witt, liberal film maker Michael Moore condemned Republicans for pushing to quickly fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Appearing as a guest Friday night during MSNBC coverage of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing, New York Times Supreme Court reporter Linda Greenhouse fretted that a more conservative U.S. Supreme Court would facilitate "voter suppression" against felons and support "phony" complaints about racial discrimination against whites and Asians in college admissions.

In matters of race and other social phenomena, there is a tendency to believe that what is seen today has always been. For black people, the socioeconomic progress achieved during my lifetime, which started in 1936, exceeded anyone's wildest dreams. In 1936, most black people lived in gross material poverty and racial discrimination. Such poverty and discrimination is all but nonexistent today…

On Monday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour gave an unchallenged forum to two Democratic guests to push for a universal health care program in the U.S. She even suggested that a national health plan similar to that of the United Kingdom would be beneficial during the pandemic in spite of the COVID-19 death rate being substantially higher in…

Nobody would blame you for pondering this over the last few years, but especially as of late: Where’s the pressure on Democrats to do anything? Day in and day out, it seems as though all the media want to do is shame Republicans into accepting their demands, no matter the issue or the rhetoric they end up resorting to.  

More uncritical sympathy from the New York Times for former California Democratic congresswoman Katie Hill, who resigned from the House of Representatives in late 2019 after revelations involving polyamorous sexual relationships were revealed. The paper’s “gender editor” Jessica Bennett re-launched Hill into polite society with a feature on the front of the Sunday Styles section…

Throughout her second tenure as Speaker of the House, far-left Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly shown what a thin skin she has when faced with even the most mildly challenging questions from reporters. Despite the leftist media constantly making a show of how outraged they are whenever President Trump criticizes their abhorrent coverage, Pelosi somehow always gets a pass…

Finally, someone on MSNBC figured out how to ask a Democrat a hard question. During a Friday morning interview with Nancy Pelosi, fill-in host Kristen Welker took the long-awaited opportunity to grill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over coronavirus relief legislation that has been stalled in Congress.
