Conservatives & Republicans

On Tiffany Cross's show, MSNBC regular Elie Mystal was back at his rhetorical bomb-throwing worst. Discussing the Mar-a-Lago raid, Mystal pouted re Trump: "why ain't this dude in jail?" Mystal accused Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner of "being on the grift," and wondered "what they are willing to sell [highly-classified information] for?" And Mystal claimed that the feds have been slow to go…

More liberal turnabout in the New York Times, as economics editor Deborah B. Solomon appeared in Wednesday’s Business section to defend yet another government agency from conservative “conspiracy theories,” this time the intrusive Internal Revenue Service: “I.R.S. to Conduct Security Review Amid Threats Agency and Staff.”

MSNBC’s Katie Phang was one of several blue checks who fell for a hoax about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday but, instead of apologizing for that on her Saturday show, she blamed DeSantis’s “dangerous statements” for creating a dangerous environment. Together with Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, the duo would also condemn Democratic gubernatorial nominee Charlie Crist for being too…

Charlie Crist used to be a Republican. Then he became an independent. Later he was a Democrat. Now, the protean politician appears to be portraying himself as the candidate of the Party of God! Can Charlie Crist possibly believe that he is God's chosen candidate? Or is his current flaunting of religiosity just the latest cynical change of colors by the ultimate political chameleon?

Logic was in limited supply on Monday’s edition of The 11th Hour on MSNBC as journalism professor Jason Johnson argued that an NBC News poll showing Republicans leading in the generic congressional ballot is proof that voters love abortion, which the “illegitimate Supreme Court” took away from them.

Bloomberg News blamed Republicans for not giving the IRS enough money or support just days after the Democrat-run Congress passed horrendous legislation that will give the agency 87,000 additional agents and an $80 billion bankroll to boot.

A frankly weird 1,800-word Sunday front-page New York Times story was uncorked by national politics reporter Jazmine Ulloa with “In U.S. Politics, Even the Phrase ‘The American Dream’ Divides,” which strained to make the Republican Party’s campaign treatment of the concept of “The American Dream” seem sinister and negative.

On Wednesday's New Day show, CNN's  John Avlon delivered another of his "Realty Check" segments which are often more about promoting liberal spin to attack conservatives than to be factually accurate. The liberal CNN analyst derided the GOP as a party that mostly nominates "hyperpartisan cowards and cranks."

Tiffany Cross’s MSNBC show is not known for nuance and well-argued analysis, but the Saturday edition of The Cross Connection still managed to one up itself when pollster and MSNBC contributor Fernand Amandi repeatedly claimed that the Republican Party is a fascist party and Roe v. Wade's downfall proves it.

The New York Times’ Alan Rappeport and Tiffany Hsu devoted 1,500 words to dismissing conservative concerns over potential IRS overreach, after news the agency is hiring 87,000 new agents, at least some of whom will carry firearms: “More Money for I.R.S. Spurs Conspiracy Theories of ‘Shadow Army.’” Typically, conservative concerns and predictions were dismissed by the paper as “…

Alex Wagner concluded her first week as MSNBC’s newest primetime host on Friday by alleging that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and others seeking to use public schools to promote “Christian nationalism” at the expense of real history and civics.

As children start to head back to school, America is facing a teacher shortage and the Friday installment of MSNBC Reports knows who to blame: conservatives.

On Morning Joe, Willie Geist says that despite his defense of the FBI, Mike Pence is "not completely clean" because he said that the Justice Department can be questioned regarding its decision to conduct a search of Mar-a-Lago. 

What do Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia have in common? Dangerous conservative trends, according to the New York Times. The paper saw the dark cloud of McCarthyism still hanging over Wisconsin: "Much of the state remains rural and conservative -- McCarthy and Trump country." Contributing writer Robert Draper in the Sunday Magazine wrote thousands of words on…
