Russia

It was obviously a tough pill -- or shall we say nut -- for Joe Scarborough to swallow. On Wednesday's Morning Joe, the Trump hater par excellence grudgingly admitted that as president, Donald Trump got it right when he chided Angela Merkel over Germany's dependence on Russian oil.

According to MSNBC’s The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle and Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, President Biden took a huge risk on Tuesday when he announced that the U.S. would ban the importation of Russian oil. The risk being that Republicans will say they support the move while also blaming him for high gas prices.

Does biased NewsGuard automatically favor state-affiliated media? The liberal online “credibility” arbiter gave seven traditionally non-autocratic state-affiliated media outlets around the world an average score of 98.6/100.

With the national average for a gallon of gas at $4.25 on and rising rapidly, and President Biden’s decision to ban Russian oil set to make things worse, CNN’s Ana Cabrera was either desperate or foolish to step into the breach during Wednesday’s Newsroom to defend him with oil production numbers from 2020 – aka still the Trump presidency – to claim the U.S. was pumping out enough oil…

On Tuesday, President Biden enacted yet another policy that’s set to send American oil and gas prices to historic and harmful levels for American families. And no matter how much Biden and his pals in the liberal media lie, these skyrocketing prices are his doing. But ABC’s World News Tonight answered the White House’s call for aid as they took toed the administration’s line of…

On Tuesday’s CBS Mornings, co-host and Democratic Party donor Gayle King channeled MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid by playing the race card concerning the ongoing plight of the millions of Ukrainian refugees, lamenting that those who’ve come to the United States from El Salvador, Haiti, and Honduras “were not welcome” nor “received very well.” In other words, the west has shown its racist bones…

Before President Biden gave a speech on Tuesday announcing the ban of Russian oil imports, the cast of At This Hour on CNN warned that gas prices will go up and that Biden has no good options to fix that problem -- as if his own policies have no impact on the situation.

Prior to Monday’s explosive post-briefing kerfuffle (which NewsBusters was able to obtain from a source), the regularly scheduled Psaki Show featured the return of Doocy Time as the Fox News correspondent battled the press secretary over who or what’s to blame for high gas prices and why there’s been, at best, an apprehension to increased domestic oil and gas production as Russia’s war on…

Was it part of multimillionaire CBS comedian Stephen Colbert’s routine to look like a complete hypocrite by lecturing people about the morals of paying higher gas prices?

NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I began our week of guest hosting the NewsBusters podcast by highlighting the downfall of Kremlin-funded RT and why no one should be shedding tears. We also discussed where the liberal media have failed (hint: it has to do with energy) and succeeded in reminding people of what honest journalism should look like.

The danger and likely outcome of trying to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine is open warfare between multiple nuclear powers. But that outcome be damned by The View’s Sunny Hostin on Monday as the ABC co-host demanded that NATO institute a no-fly zone. And according to her back and forth with co-host Sara Haines, Hostin seemed to think NATO was already at war with Russia.

Over at the Washington Free Beacon, the indefatigable Chuck Ross wrote on Saturday about the arrest of a freelance reporter with the taxpayer-funded Voice of America (VOA) who had been “arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia” “at the Poland-Ukraine border.”

When a president’s poll numbers are tanking, as the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll shows they are for President Biden — 37 percent approval — he needed to do something spectacular, even radical, to keep him from sinking further. Unfortunately for Biden and his party, he did nothing that is likely to stem his free fall. Washington Post columnist Henry Olson said…

Tiffany Cross, the namesake host of The Cross Connection, became the latest MSNBC personality to compare Ukraine’s literal war of survival to the alleged “rampant voter suppression” in America on her Saturday show during an interview with Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal.
