For anyone in the news business who wants to convince people that their profession isn’t the enemy of the people, they need to address things like Thursday’s lead editorial in The Washington Post. In 515 words, they had the gall to claim Biden Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was treated worse by Republicans in her confirmation hearings than what Democrats did to now-…

While Thursday’s CBS Mornings was off on an emotional bender for Biden Supreme Court pick Ketanji Brown Jackson, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today were also in the tank for Jackson, reporting her “historic hearing” featured her “facing down Republican attacks” over a “bitter,” “emotional” “heated,” and “intense” few days that ended with a “pep talk” from…

On Thursday’s New Day on CNN, host Brianna Keilar and chief national affairs analyst Kasie Hunt recapped the GOP’s performance at Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings with accusations of racism, 2024 ambitions, and QAnon conspiracy theorizing.

For the second night in a row, MSNBC's ReidOut host Joy Reid showed how easily triggered she gets when people she likes get challenged for their past statements and record. Reid spent much of the second half of her Wednesday night show lashing out at Republican Senators who dared to question Biden Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson over her record of giving light sentences to…

When the U.S. Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown's nomination to the Supreme Court wrapped up, MSNBC's Joy Reid only had five minutes left of her show The ReidOut to squeeze in as much venom and hatred against Republicans as she could. To her credit, she was successful. In the five minutes she had to react to Tuesday's hearings she managed to call Senator Tom Cotton…

On Tuesday afternoon’s Hallie Jackson Reports on MSNBC, Chris Jansing moderated a panel segment discussing the latest developments in the confirmation hearings of Biden Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Jansing and her guests were clearly triggered by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioning Jackson on her past support of Critical Race Theory. 

As ordinary Ukrainians flee the country in order to escape from the Russian invaders, CBS Saturday Morning declared that, unlike other refugees, they benefit from their race.

On Monday night's The ReidOut on MSNBC, host Joy Reid used the last segment of her prime-time show to exploit the war in Ukraine in order to play racial politics. Reid claimed that the reason the United States and the rest of the world care so much about Russia's invasion of Ukraine is because their population is "white and largely Christian"

As part of his book tour, former Attorney General Bill Barr joined NBC’s Lester Holt for an exclusive sit-down interview that was aired on Friday’s NBC Nightly News and the Saturday edition of Today. During the interview, Holt unsuccessfully attempted to get Barr to agree with him that systemic bias and racism exist in American policing.

ABC’s The Wonder Years reboot has been surprisingly fair for a Hollywood show, and thus enjoyable to watch. Until it wasn’t. Wednesday’s episode, “Black Teacher,” took on the sensitive topic of race and racism and did a good job of it until the very end when they took a dig at “concerned white parents” who fight to make sure what their children are learning is “fair and balanced.” And…

On Thursday evening's episode of MSNBC's The ReidOut, Joy Reid used her nightly segment "The Absolute Worst" to go after Fox News host Tucker Carlson for daring to ask for Biden Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s LSAT scores. 

On Wednesday morning’s MSNBC Reports, Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor pushed the view of leftist Democrats who were unhappy that President Biden did not use his State of the Union address to tie Ukraine’s fight for national survival to the fight for democracy here at home.

On Monday, Fox News Associate Editor Brandon Gillespie reported: “New York Times Magazine reporter and founder of the controversial 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones was sharply mocked by critics over the weekend for falsely claiming that Europe was ‘not a continent.’” It was part of an effort by Hannah-Jones to argue that concern over the invasion of Ukraine was fueled by racism.

As ABC and CBS ran reports commemorating the 10th anniversary of black Florida teen Trayvon Martin being shot to death by George Zimmerman, both networks misinformed their viewers, and ABC even imitated the same smear that NBC News was forced to apologize for 10 years ago.
