Congress

On Saturday's Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi again used the pandemic as a rationale for advocating socialized medicine as he defended Canadian-style single-payer health care, and cued up Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to advocate such a system in the U.S.

On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, as liberal host Bill Maher debated Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw over the Donald Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Republican Congressman argued against the myth that everyone but President Trump took the virus seriously early on as he recalled that Democrats actually opposed some of the President's early actions to keep the virus…

MSNBC ducked out of the Friday night briefing for a typical DNC-style softball interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Republicans get the third degree, Democrats get the "What would you like to say about that?" Melber started by asking Pelosi to "walk us through" what's going on with the small-business loan program that's running out of funds. Then Melber cued up the Speaker to lie that the…

On Wednesday's Full Frontal show, liberal comedienne Samantha Bee was seen fawning over Senator Elizabeth Warren as the TBS host was seen in a pre-recorded interview speaking with the former Democratic presidential candidate. Bee oozed: "I wanted desperately to vote for you, and you dropped out of the race, and it felt like the end of the world." Bee went on to suggest Warren lost because she is…

Hollywood’s hatred for President Trump and his supporters is a bottomless pit. Actor, Bernie Sanders lover and rabid Trump-hater John Cusack proposed another depraved solution to the pesky problem that is Trump: We will just impeach him again.

In the same Sunday front section where The Washington Post spent three pages celebrating House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, reporter Paul Kane was kissing the ring of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer: "After years as partisan brawler, Schumer takes leading role to help his country."  In his "@PKCapitol" column, Kane touted accomplishment -- somehow mostly by Schumer, not by Mitch McConnell: 

On the last Sunday in March a year ago, The Washington Post Magazine published a goopy cover story titled "Pelosi's Moment. On the last Sunday in March this year, The Post published an "Opinion Essay" in the A section that went on for three pages (with eight photographs) celebrating Pelosi as "A troublemaker with a gavel." Karen Tumulty wrote what sounded like a very long Hallmark Greetings card…

New York Times congressional reporters Carl Hulse and Emily Cochrane gave the “tick-tock” on the Senate passage of a coronavirus stimulus package -- at least as told by Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer: “Passing the Stimulus: Nonstarter at A.M. To 96-0 at Midnight -- How the polarized Senate found a way to negotiate a plan to help an ailing nation.” Schumer guided the story, with Hulse as usual…

Following suit from MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and unlike his CNN colleague Dana Bash from Tuesday, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer didn’t offer anything Wednesday in interviewing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that’ll end up in a career highlight reel showing journalistic prowess. Instead, the 13-minute-plus interview was one softball after another, refusing to grill Pelosi on anything,…

During a live interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell lobbed one softball after another, refusing to press the Democratic leader on playing politics with coronavirus relief legislation. Instead, Mitchell repeatedly encouraged Pelosi to dictate terms of the aid package and attack President Trump.

It’s as if the left knew what they were doing Sunday and Monday -- switching tunes to now opposing the Senate’s massive, $2 trillion stimulus package to help American workers and the economy. Why? Because as Monday’s broadcast network newscasts showed, the liberal media will provide any and all cover, refusing to assign blame to liberals and progressives pulling the carpet out at the last minute…

Leah Barkoukis at Townhall reports The New York Times tweaked its headline several times on a story about Democrats blocking a coronavirus “stimulus package" on Sunday. Ed Morrissey at Hot Air noticed the first headline was surprisingly accurate: "Senate Democrats blocked action on a trillion-dollar stimulus plan." Then, it was edited down into "Partisan Divide Threatens Deal on Rescue Bill." 

On Monday, NBC’s Today show was surprisingly direct in blaming Democrats for the failure of a massive coronavirus relief package in Congress. The network morning show repeatedly made it clear that the “aid package was blocked by Senate Democrats” and even wondered if “this the time to have these kinds of arguments,” while Americans are “desperate” for help.
