The Associated Press and reporters Steve Peoples and Brendan Farrington took their place in a hypothetical Scumbag Hall of Fame on Tuesday as they blamed 2024 GOP presidential candidate and Governor Ron DeSantis (FL) for Saturday’s racist murders by a white young-adult male in Jacksonville.

The New York Times’ resident fact-checker Linda Qiu took on rising Republican star Vivek Ramaswamy after his breakout performance in last week’s GOP presidential debate, and her interesting choice of terminology unwittingly demonstrated the paper’s liberal mindset. In response to Ramaswamy’s claim (one not even made at the debate, but to the Atlantic magazine) that there were…

On MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid and guest Bishop William Barber took turns smearing Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by accusing him of causing the racist shooting that took place at DollarTree in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday. The duo even suggested DeSantis is akin to racist Alabama Governor George Wallace and that he was inspired by the horrific Jacksonville riots in 1960.…

In the aftermath of a racially motivated murder spree in Jacksonville, Florida, CNN host Fredricka Whitfield on Sunday afternoon allowed two of her guests to try to push blame onto Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) while discussing the killings. The NAACP guest said DeSantis "waged war on black America."

Some years ago, during a crime wave like the one we now seem to be experiencing, a bumper sticker appeared that said “Fight Crime Shoot Back.” It expressed the frustration many felt at the time that criminals were mostly getting away with their crimes. That feeling has multiplied recently as some prosecutors go soft on criminals and harder on those who defend themselves and others. I thought…

On Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, senior national correspondent Kyung Lah reported on the out-of-control crime in Oakland, California, with murders in broad daylight and undeterred gang groups targeting everyone. The network gawked as residents fled the city and were being told by police to carry air horns for protection. The biggest concern for one CNN talking head was that runaway…

So who got to Joe Scarborough? His wife Mika Brzezinski? His bosses at MSNBC, including head honcho Rashida Jones? Could it have been Jen Psaki, Biden’s former spox, now Scarborough's MSNBC colleague, letting Joe know he crossed a line? Or was it a call from the White House, rapping Joe’s knuckles? Or did the MSNBC suits themselves perhaps send Joe that iconic horsehead-in-the-bed clip from…

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, race-baiting Reverend Al Sharpton came up with an excessively belligerent and hateful reason for why Democrat prosecutions of former President Donald Trump were not affecting his support among voters in the Republican primary.

Sharpton argued that the reason why all these indictments brought by Trump’s political enemies right before the election,…

On Morning Joe, MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos was shocked by the plea deal that Hunter Biden received in federal court. He called it "amazing," and said he'd like to sign up on such deals on behalf of his clients if it's available, and calls it a "gift from heaven." He says that he's not aware of any defendant other than Biden getting pre-trial diversion in a gun case.

The New York Times’ initial review of Sound of Freedom, a thriller based on child-trafficking-buster Tim Ballard, was negative but nonpolitical. But now that Trump has spoken up, the Times has jumped back into the media-manufactured controversy, as did taxpayer-supported National Public Radio. The Times and NPR unearthed “experts” to offer petulant…

ABC’s Good Morning America followed suit Thursday from their evening counterpart World News Tonight in keeping ABC viewers in the dark about Wednesday’s bombshell House Oversight Committee hearing featuring two IRS whistleblowers revealing the depths to which they were stonewalled from superiors in bringing more serious charges against Hunter Biden. Instead, Good Morning…
