Barack Obama

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and PBS White House reporter Yamiche Alcindor joined MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Monday to long for the days of Barack Obama because those were the days when the president cared about the truth.

Barack Obama took his book tour with Democrat donors and family friends to Apple TV+ this week in a lengthy virtual interview with Oprah Winfrey. After getting a cushy interview on CBS with his vacation pal Gayle King, the former president turned to long-time Democrat donor Winfrey for another softball interview over his latest memoir

Anything and everything can be said on paper, and now, on air, as an exclusive Univision interview with Barack Obama to promote his latest book – A Promised Land - proves. From avowing that he couldn’t do anything about immigration and DACA because he “inherited ICE and Border Patrols and the various laws that were already in place”-, to openly admitting his plans to be the…

In two separate segments on Monday morning’s New Day, CNN hosts Alisyn Camerota and John Berman gushed over former President Obama being invited to trash President Trump during a pair of …

On Morning Joe, playing off Barack Obama's 60 Minutes interview in which he blamed social media in part for "truth decay," Mika and The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg bemoaned social media's supposedly insufficient censoring of conservatives. Mika Brzezinski and Goldberg fretted that conservatives being left "unchecked" leads to " serious problems."

Monday on The View, the hosts spent time raging at Republicans and President Trump, whom they exclusively blamed for a global pandemic, before going on to fall head over heels for President Obama being interviewed by CBS on Sunday.

On Monday, MSNBC Live host Hallie Jackson gushed over Obama’s warning about right-wing media with one of his former press secretaries, Robert Gibbs at the end of the 10am EST hour. 

Who needs a PR machine when you have CBS News? That’s certainly the case when it comes to Barack Obama and his new book.

The gushing over Obama will continue on Tuesday as the BET Network, a division of ViacomCBS will push the book for another hour. 

CBS’s 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley gave Gayle King a run for her money in who could be the most sycophantic journalist interviewing President Obama for his new book on Sunday.

In a pre-recorded interview for CBS Sunday Morning, Obama family vacation buddy and CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King conducted a gooey interview with former President Obama regarding his new memoir about his time in office. Aside from whining about Republican opposition to his agenda, King lamented the state of the country seeing as almost 73 million people voted to…

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough is getting pretty sick of Republicans questioning the results of the 2020 election. So sick, in fact, that he bothered to interrupt his Republican-bashing rants to make a false comparison to the 2016 election, complete with footage, to remind everyone that the Democrats were such good sports four years ago.

As I reported on Thursday, Gayle King, a Democratic donor, had been awarded the first interview with the former President as he promotes his new book. It’s not hard to see why the woman who vacationed with the Obama family was chosen. 

Before they despised Donald Trump, the liberal media adored Barack Obama. From the moment then-state senator Barack Obama showed up on the national stage to address the Democratic convention in 2004, the news media were in love. When Obama ran for President four years later, news reporters led the cheers. And as President, reporters touted his “prodigious talents,” his “amazing legislative…
