Conservatives & Republicans

On Thursday, MSNBC repeatedly teed up Democratic senators to argue that the U.S. Senate should not reconvene because doing so may allow Republicans to fill judicial vacancies with conservative nominees. Both the journalists and the liberal lawmakers insisted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was “endangering the lives” of Capitol Hill staff amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On CNN's New Day, Alisyn Camerota asks Nancy Pelosi whether there are any Republicans on the coronavirus bailout "oversight" committee she created. It is an open, published, fact that Pelosi appointed only Democrats to the panel, including rabid Trump haters like Maxine Waters and Jamie Raskin. Pelosi doesn't answer the question directly, making instead the mind-boggling claim that "the…

Prime time was a great time for the Fox News Channel in April, when the top-rated cable network used its coverage of the coronavirus pandemic to attract its largest evening audience ever and draw its second highest-ratings in total day viewership since its reporting on the Iraq War in 2003. At the same time, the channel delivered an audience of 3.7 million people and 671,000 in the demographic of…

On Monday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, the program showed a pre-recorded interview between NPR weekend anchor Michel Martin and former Republican Senator Bill Frist in which Martin tried to suggest hypocrisy on the part of pro-life Republicans who have pushed to reopen some states during the pandemic. Frist bristled at her attempt to link the pandemic to abortion and scolded…

It’s really sickening to think that the folks weaponizing a natural disaster’s death toll to bash conservative policies are also seeking to make abortion as accessible as making a phone call or ordering medication online.

There's perhaps nothing more elitist than major national journalists whining about unemployed people getting their income back since they don’t need to worry about losing their jobs overnight. But the elitist anger of CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News notably only found select targets Monday night: red states, while states ran by Democrats were largely sheltered from their scorn.

Stung by criticism of their on-air TDS meltdowns, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski lash out at the conservative media, calling them "despicable, disgusting" Trump "pawns" who are betraying the legacy of William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan.

Monday’s “Political Memo” from the New York Times’ Mark Leibovich was a more-solemn-than-usual take from the generally snarky Leibovich, but still in the service of the Democratic Party and in opposition to President Trump. The online headline: “Trump Turns Shared American Experiences Into Us vs. Them.” He began by noting the passing without much notice of the 25th anniversary of the bombing of…

While they are rightly spending a lot of time covering the coronavirus crisis, the media were still political entities. ABC proved that fact during Sunday’s This Week when three of their journalists (chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl, and senior congressional correspondent Mary Bruce) hyped how President Trump’s campaign messaging took a massive hit and…

Conceited CNN host Jake Tapper was supposedly a journalist, but has proven himself to be a liberal activist. Tapper concluded Sunday’s State of the Union by lashing out at congressional Republicans and those within the Trump administration by declaring history will remember them as "villains." Although, Dr. Deborah Birx of the Coronavirus Task Force did put him in his place for trying to continue…

While neither of them has given airtime to covering the woman accusing him of sexual assault, ABC News and NBC News spent portions of their Sunday morning programs boosting former Vice President Joe Biden’s conspiratorial claim that President Trump was looking to call off the 2020 presidential election, or push it back.

During a softball interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell asked about a conspiracy theory being pushed by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden that President Trump would try to use the coronavirus pandemic to “kick back the election” in November. Rather dismiss the unfounded claim, the supposed journalist wondered how Pelosi could prevent the imagined…

During a nearly six-minute long report on Friday, NBC’s Today show tried to directly lay blame for “growing discrimination” against Asian American at the feet of President Trump. The coverage suggested that Trump’s use of the phrase “Chinese virus” in the early days of the pandemic inspired hate crimes across the country.

In the latest obscene example of the media personally blaming President Trump for coronavirus deaths, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Thursday, The Atlantic’s George Packer touted his latest article for the liberal magazine in which he claimed that America has become a “failed state” and even went so far as to accuse the President of “collaborating with the virus.”
