Joy Reid: ‘Just Pass It and Let the Republicans Cry About It Later'
On Monday night, Joy Reid, host of MSNBC’s The ReidOut fully acknowledged her "petty" hackery. Reid implored that Democrats abandon their post-Trump calls for unification and bipartisanship.

Not Good: Snarky Psaki Mocks Space Force Question, Snaps at Reporters
Tuesday’s White House press briefing was perhaps Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s most combative one yet, facing tough questions on China, coronavirus relief, illegal immigration, Israel, and schools but also softballs on topics like COVID and impeachment. And on an equally important note, not a single reporter stepped up and asked Psaki about the embarrassing Daily Beast report that her team had…
CBS Tied Trump to Myanmar Coup, Defended Leader Silent on Genocide
Often on the foreign policy front, there’s not a “good” and “bad” side to a conflict, but two sides you want little to do with. Yet, during Monday’s edition of Evening News, CBS rushed to take a swipe at former President Trump by trying to tie him to the military coup in Myanmar. But in doing so, they defended State Counsellor (prime minister equivalent) Aung San Suu Kyi, an elected…
MSNBC & CNN Gush Over Biden/GOP Meeting: 'Political Unicorn'
Who cares if Joe Biden was just joshing when he said he wanted to govern in a bipartisan way? At least he didn't curse out Mitt Romney and Susan Collins when he met with them and other Republican senators at the White House yesterday. Ain't Joe wonderful? Unlike that other guy whose name shall not be mentioned. That was the gist of the coverage on MSNBC and CNN this morning regarding the White…
After Years of Mocking Trump, SNL Refuses to Mock Biden in Latest Show
Strange. Suddenly Saturday Night Live doesn’t care about skewering American presidents anymore.

Tiffany Gets Cross With The Mooch: 'Radicalized' or an Opportunist?
MSNBC host Tiffany Cross broke all the usual rules about how anti-Trump Republicans are used. She invited former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci on her show to expose him, not to exploit him. When he wouldn't accept the idea he had been "radicalized," she suggested the Mooch is an opportunist who would turn again when the next opportunity arises. And the pair trade accusations of "loving the…

About Time: WH Is Finally Asked About Awful Treatment of Guard Troops
Friday concluded the first full week of Biden White House press briefings and, by this point, we’ve noticed a few trends. Aside from Press Secretary Jen Psaki refusing to answer any number of questions, two takeaways are the lack of condescension and hostility from reporters and biting responses from the press secretary. Instead, we’ve seen plenty of softballs, reverence for administration…
Katy Tur Touts 'Facts and Science' Reign in Biden's Climate Push
In the aftermath of President Biden's Wednesday announcements of new executive orders to curb global warming, MSNBC host Katy Tur opened her MSNBC Live show with the "news" that it was "a big step forward," that Facts and Science had arrived at the White House, ending four years of Climate Denial.

Tyrrell Column: American Authoritarianism
If there was one dominant theme to President Joe Biden's inaugural address, it was unity. All Americans -- left, right and middle-of-the-road -- are to come together in unity, Joe said. On his theme of unity, Joe was emphatic, and the media cheered him on. Yet shortly thereafter, his perfumed rhetoric evaporated in the wintry air, and reality intruded. It began with Joe's executive orders.
UNITY: MSNBC Contributor: Maybe Trump Merits a 'Drone Strike'?
On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, MSNBC contributor and former FBI agent Clint Watts says: "If you took what President Trump said, and instead put it in Anwar Awlaki's mouth, we would be talking about a drone strike overseas." Note that Awlaki was a US citizen, the first killed via a drone strike. The strike was ordered by then-President Obama.
