For many liberals, the only thing keeping them functioning is their desperate hope that President Donald Trump will soon be impeached. Unfortunately for them, the main target of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Paul Manafort, most likely has no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion as was pointed out by Andrew Prokop in Vox last Thursday. Okay, so maybe no evidence of collusion but perhaps Plan B…

This past week, a Republican state legislator in Georgia made news after he posted arguably threatening messages on Facebook directed at a black Democratic former legislator who had complained about Confederate monuments. It was not surprising that the indefensible messages got the attention of race-obsessed MSNBC contributor and The Root politics editor Jason Johnson, but what was unexpected is…

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump was supposed to finally make an announcement regarding his long awaited decision on the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). It’s a touchy issue for most because it deals with the children of illegal immigrants, the job market, the economy, and questionable legality. But in an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, Princeton…

Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple spends a lot of his time lamenting the pro-Trump tilt of Fox News, but on Friday, he faulted NBC News for “whiffing” on a Russiagate story that quickly unraveled. MSNBC was breaking its news, and it was quickly broken into a mess.

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's MSNBC Live with Alex Witt, MSNBC host and NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell fretted over President Donald sending out a tweet warning allies not to engage in "appeasement" with North Korea. After declaring that "most analysts would agree" that the choice of words was a "really big mistake," Mitchell looked visibly worried as she ended up calling it a "shocking…

ABC commentator Matthew Dowd was livid Sunday morning following a series of tweets by President Trump on North Korea and their latest nuclear bomb test. “I think part of the problem we're in today is the belligerent language that he's used over the last three or four months in the midst of this,” he decried to moderator Martha Raddatz during This Week, completely derailing a conversation about…

The Sunday after President Trump met with and aided the victims of storm-ravaged Texas, ABC’s Martha Raddatz exploited the natural disaster to lobby for him to keep the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). “The experience of Harvey has been a profound moment in a tumultuous year,” she righteously opined during This Week. “Showing the best of America, but also threatening to…

Fox News did a poll asking a question liberal journalists would surely find revolting: Who's the bigger threat to America? White supremacists, or the news media? Overall, white supremacists won, 47 to 40 percent, but as usual, there's a dramatic partisan split. Democrats went with white supremacists, 76 to 12 percent, while Republicans picked the news media, 69 percent to 18. Independents were…

As summer winds down, a quick look at a scene I caught on Netflix’s Ozark in which the wife of a money launderer for a Mexican drug cartel declared her admiration for former President Barack Obama. Recalling how she worked for “Obama’s second legislative campaign,” criminal “Wendy Byrde,” played by actress Laura Linney, touted how “I just loved everything he stood for, what we were all trying to…

New York Times reporter Julie Hirschfeld Davis filed the paper’s latest passionate defense of an amnesty plan for young (and not-so-young) illegals -- Deferred Action for Child Arrivals, or DACA -- in Saturday’s edition. Warning that Trump risked appearing "particularly hardhearted," (even more than usual?) Davis shamelessly used Hurricane Harvey as a political weapon to prop up the initiative…

Reality TV star Kim Khardashian discovered a new way to draw enough outrage to keep her name in the news. In a cover story for Interview magazine, Kardashian posed as liberal “icon” Jackie Kennedy, and that drew anger on Twitter. The funniest headline on this stunt came from the British site Metro.co.uk: “Kim Khardashian accused of blasphemy after Jackie Kennedy-inspired photo shoot with […

Appearing as a guest on Saturday's CNN Newsroom, CNN presidential historian Douglas Brinkley was hitting President Donald Trump over promises to cut the budgets of FEMA and the EPA, as the liberal historian called the plans "BS" and wondered how does the President "look at himself in the mirror?"

Yes, that’s an actual quote from an actual headline. The full headline goes like this: “Trump Can't Tell Women Apart Because He Is Actually a Blind Carnivorous Cave Zombie From The Descent.” So what did our president do to deserve such an obnoxious attack? Did he launch missiles at North Korea? Did he sell his soul to Putin? Nope, he mistook two journalists he had never met before for one another…

Plenty of media outlets have blamed Hurricane Harvey on climate change, but one journalist used it as an excuse to claim people who don’t agree with him on climate should be punished.
