Jon Meacham

On Wednesday, the media’s favorite presidential historian, Jon Meacham, joined Walter Isaacson on PBS’s Amanpour and Company to resurrect his allegation that the Trump administration is “failing” the soldiers who served at places like Omaha Beach and Gettysburg as well as the men and women of the nation’s various civil rights movements.

In CBS Mornings’s latest example of officially partnering with a liberal partisan to sell books, Tuesday’s show embarrassingly fangirled over liberal historian Jon Meacham’s latest tome and voicing agreement to claim America is facing a “moral crisis” requiring the greatest level of citizenship since the 1850s because there is an “authoritarian” in Donald Trump “galloping at the…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s habit of inviting guests to The Late Show to tell him what he wants to hear continued apace on Thursday as he welcomed author, former Biden speechwriter, and frequent cable news talking head Jon Meacham to the show to promote his new book and do his usual shtick where he attempts to wax poetic about the dire state of Trump’s America. According to Meacham, the…

After the tragic shooting of two West Virginian National Guard members deployed in Washington, D.C. last week, President Trump  promised to pause migration from “Third World Countries.” Presidential historian and former Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham appeared on MS NOW Friday night to criticize how…

Morning Joe regular Jon Meacham, a historian and former Biden speechwriter, says it's an insult to adolescents to call President Trump's handling of the creation of a new White House ballroom "adolescent." Instead, says Meacham, Trump's behavior is "infantile." Meacham says that Trump's decision to create a new White House ballroom, which requires demolishing the existing East Wing, "is in…

Showing how at least some liberal elites are already in retreat when it comes to reconsidering their own role in the country’s toxic political climate following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, CBS News Sunday Morning led off with correspondent Robert Costa turning to none other than liberal historian and President Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham to warn America’s “in a dangerous place…

On March 13, 2020, President Trump declared the coronavirus pandemic a national emergency. Five years later, here are the most extreme quotes from the NewsBusters archives showing how liberal journalists cynically exploited the bad news to bash Trump in order to turn the crisis to Democrats’ advantage

On Morning Joe, historian, and former occasional Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham, who called the prospective US-Ukraine deal, and by extension Trump, "imperialist."  Joe Scarborough analogized the deal to the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed heavy reparations obligations on Germany for having instigated WWI.

Joe Scarborough feels the pain of panic-stricken liberals in the age of Trump 2.0., and is doing his best to talk them in off the ledge, and to stay engaged, and trust that the system of checks and balances will "prove up to the task."

Both before and after their brutal rhetorical beatdowns at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), NBC’s inauguration coverage paddled the struggle boat as, over the course of six-plus hours of post-ceremonies coverage, they voiced their own set of grievances over President Trump’s “searing,” “single most partisan,” “very dark” speech that’s put him at “risk” of “overstepping what…

Poor Jon Meacham. The resident Morning Joe historian and occasional Biden speechwriter was in a decidedly dark and depressed mood on this Inauguration Day. Meacham was down on the United States in general, claiming that "for 250 years, [America] more often than not has gotten things wrong." And he was down on Trump in particular. Meacham compared, albeit via a John Belushi line, Trump's…

MSNBC’s Morning Joe’s favorite presidential historian, Jon Meacham, joined another H-less Jon on Thursday when he appeared on Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart podcast. Meacham told Stewart that the fact that Donald Trump will be president again shows that America is still having problems with complying with the Declaration of Independence.

Appearing as a guest on the Election Day edition of Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough joined contributor Michael Beschloss in fretting that a Donald Trump win would result in less freedom of speech. He also falsely asserted that Trump  "said he was going to execute Liz Cheney," and put down MAGA Republicans, declaring that they "apparently didn't go to civics class."

On Morning Joe, Jon Meacham says that in their hearts, traditional Republicans know that their support of Trump is wrong. Meacham also says that, looking to Washington's Farewell Address for guidance on the central thesis of the American Republic, people can ignore the central role that Washington placed on religion.
