Coronavirus

Actor Robert Redford is a Trump-hater and climate change nut. And the coronavirus pandemic allows him to indulge in both passions, writing NBC op-eds about how bad the virus makes the president look and how it also presents us with an opportunity to make our post-quarantine lives part of a new climate-conscious collective.

It finally happened. A liberal outlet got around to saying this was President Donald Trump’s economy, but only because it’s being wrecked by the Wuhan coronavirus. In an April 29, Politico Playbook PM newsletter, which aggregates top headlines, Politico had this disgusting headline take the #2 spot in its list written in all caps: “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S CORONAVIRUS ECONOMY." 

News reports percolated last week that formal White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings could go away or see a dramatic overhaul. Instead of showing seriousness and sobriety during this pandemic, camera-hawking, far-left egotists picked fights with President Donald Trump only to cry foul afterward to sympathetic colleagues. MRC analysts combed through our archives of the briefings to resurrect…

Thursday, President Trump sent the media into their latest tailspin by saying he had seen evidence that the coronavirus originated in a lab in China.

On his show Thursday night, he claimed it was a crazy conspiracy…

Liberal comedian Samantha Bee sat down with Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) on Wednesday’s edition of Full Frontal.

I want that so bad.”

On the late Wednesday/early Thursday edition of the Late Night show on NBC, host Seth Meyers excoriated the "conservative movement" as a "fraud' as he attacked Vice President Mike Pence for not wearing a mask to visit a Mayo clinic, Fox News hosts for pushing to begin reopening the economy, and FreedomWorks for applying for a federal government loan.

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell is determined show to prove that in any crisis, women are the hardest hit. Mitchell invited former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards and Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post on at the conclusion of Wednesday show for a gratuitously divisive segment that argued women have it hardest during the current pandemic and the answer is to enact longstanding left-wing…

Telemundo's morning kaffeeklatsch, Un Nuevo Día, did a shameful disservice to all of the nation's women -Hispanic women in particular – by bringing in Catherine Cortez Masto, (D-NV), the first Latina senator in the United States, for a softball interview that made zero reference to the recent accusations of sexual harassment against the former senator by then staffer Tara Reade. Cortez Masto has…

Twitter’s rules against “misinformation” don’t apply to everyone. The platform didn’t stop a full-blown anti-American propaganda video from being released by the Chinese government. And this isn’t the first time Twitter allowed Chinese propaganda. The Chinese Embassy in France uploaded an absurd, lego-based propaganda video at 10:54 a.m. Apr 30. The Ambassade de Chine en France’s video “Once Upon…

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.

The Los Angeles Times touted a new media lobbying effort to expand federal ad spending by billions of dollars for local media companies. In a story headlined, “Rocked by coronavirus losses, TV, radio, newspapers seek government ad dollars,” The Times pushed the case for expanded government-funding of media outlets. “Every year the federal government spends around $1 billion in advertising to…

In an effort to deal with the tragic loss of her grandfather’s passing, one Hollywood actress is blasting Trump’s handling of the virus, insinuating that it killed her loved one. Charmed and Pretty Little Liars actress Holly Marie Combs just suffered an undeniable tragedy, and in her grief went after President Trump on Twitter for contributing to her grandfather’s death from coronavirus.

On The Ingraham Angle Wednesday, Fox News host Laura Ingraham blasted the media for blaming President Trump for the bizarre case of a man who died by ingesting fish tank cleaner in March, supposedly thinking it was Hydroxychloroquine. But Ingraham highlighted a new report out in the Washington Free Beacon, which found there may be more to this story than initially reported.

In “Reconciling the Pandemic With the Nation’s Self-Image,” her left-wing essay disguised as news in Wednesday’s New York Times, culture reporter Jennifer Schuessler used an ill-concealed gloating tone, as if the pandemic, which caught the whole world (except China) off guard, is the final blow to naive Reaganesque pride in American uniqueness: ....others see the crisis as the outgrowth of an…
