CBS Asks If Biden Will Be Compared to FDR & Washington or Wilson & JFK

On Thursday morning and after some cockamamie, tone-deaf reactions Wednesday night to President Biden’s farewell address, the major broadcast networks chose to double down with empty stenography for power with one network going to nonsensical links suggesting Biden could one day be compared to President George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson as one of the country’s…

CNN’s Scott Jennings DESTROYS Biden’s Farewell Speech

CNN’s post-Biden speech analysis was decidedly much less sycophantic than MSNBC’s, by virtue of the fact that they had an actual conservative on the panel: Scott Jennings, who wasted absolutely no time laying waste both to Biden’s speech, and to his legacy.

MSNBC Fawns Over Biden Farewell, Bolsters Fake ‘Oligarchy’ Narrative

Predictably, the prime time hosts at MSNBC oohed and aahed over President Joe Biden’s farewell address with a verve normally seen emanating from television production studios in Pyongyang. But in this case, they went above and beyond their customary cheerleading. They also worked hard to bolster the post-speech narrative of the perils of a Trump-adjacent oligarchy.

NewsBusters Podcast: Sneering Down Their Noses at Fox Host Hegseth

Senate Democrats brought out the slime buckets for the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearing on Tuesday. The journalists call it "tense," but we might call the Democrats "unglued." Trump's nominees are receiving much harsher media treatment than Biden's nominees four years ago.

Nets Fawn Over Biden’s ‘Extraordinary’ ‘Speech for the History Books’

ABC, CBS, and NBC broke in Wednesday night for President Biden’s farewell address and, while they were never in total awe like they were with Barack Obama, they still showed their stripes in cheering the “advocate for working people” giving “very personal” “speech for the history books” and delivering an “extraordinary” message about the decline of “fact-checking” and an “oligarchy...that…

BRUTAL Defamation Juror Questions Give Insight Ahead of Deliberations

Something unique about the Florida judicial system is, baring objection of counsels and the court, jurors get to ask questions of the witnesses. These questions could be used as possible insight into a jury’s temperament and possible mindset as a trial unfolds. In the case of the $1 billion defamation trial against CNN, the tea leaves seemed to indicate on Wedndesday that they weren’t looking…

Last KJP Briefing Brings an Emotional Speech, Non-Answers, and a Shrug

Wednesday afternoon brought us the final Biden White House press briefing and, by her own count, the 306th featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. It featured Jean-Pierre emotionally patting herself on the back, plenty of unanswered questions (mostly stemming from the monumental Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal), the final Jacqui Time, and even Jean-Pierre doing her own…

Meyers Writer Ruffin Tries To Smear GOP Senator's Husband as a Racist

As President-elect Donald Trump brings attention to the fact that NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers is basically just MSNBC with silly metaphors, show writer Amber Ruffin joined the Tuesday show to recall an incident several days prior where Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer’s husband, Bruce, did not shake Vice President Kamala Harris’s hand during her swearing-in photo-op. Instead of…
