Mitch McConnell

The New York Times is making hay during the intense Democratic politicization of the one-year anniversary of the violent Capitol Hill riots of January 6, 2021, which an online headline called “the worst American attack in democracy in centuries.” Times fact-checker Linda Qiu assured readers the Black Lives Matter riots weren’t nearly so violent as the Capitol Hill assault,…

Something must be in the air at CNN. Both today and yesterday, they abandoned their usual sucking-up to the Biden administration to give more accurate, brutal assessments. On Christmas Eve, Chris Cillizza did a segment on New Day where he gave “coal” to both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and gave a candy cane to the media-maligned….Ron DeSantis?

On Morning Joe, Scarborough expresses understanding of the Democrats' anger at Manchin, but warns them that they are pushing him into the arms of the GOP. He cites the precedent of Jumpin' Jim Jeffords, who left the GOP and joined the Democrats over his disputes with Pres. George W. Bush, thereby handing the Democrats the Senate majority.

MTP Daily host Chuck Todd lamented on Thursday that President Biden's legislative agenda appears to be falling apart. In response to that, he plotted strategy with Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher and further lamented that, unlike Mitch McConnell, Democrats don't know how to play hardball.

Joe Scarborough has a bad habit of riding verbal hobbyhorses into the ground. As we've often documented, as here and here, once Joe gets what he thinks is a catchy phrase into his noggin, he repeats it—ad nauseum. This morning, Scarborough's hobby horse o' the day was "schoolhouse door," with an explicit reference to George Wallace, who infamously blocked desegregation in such manner.…

A day after promoting a party-switching former Republican who is running for Oklahoma as a Democrat, on Tuesday, CNN's New Day devoted a segment to a pair of disaffected Republicans who are encouraging members of their party to vote Democratic and keep Democrats in control of Congress.

MRC analysts looked at 30 stories on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening programs covering the most recent budget debates from September 23 to October 10 and discovered a whopping disparity in the soundbite count with Democrats overwhelming Republicans by a 115 to 16 count. 

On Wednesday night, disgraced former NBC News host Brian Williams was again using his late night perch on MSNBC to display his partisan views as he promoted the anti-Republican Lincoln Project -- itself also a disgraced group which Williams has been covering for on his show.

On The Sunday Show, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart provided the latest forum for a member of the disgraced Lincoln Project to go on air and tout their ex-Republican background to trash their former GOP colleagues as Tara Setmayer mocked Senators Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins.

On Morning Joe, a screaming Joe Scarborough plays the hard-nosed Democrat strategist, telling Dems they need to play hardball with Republicans on raising the debt limit.

On Tuesday's MTP Daily on MSNBC, host Chuck Todd battled Indiana Sen. Mike Braun over the GOP's refusal to assist the Democrats in passing their agenda by raising the debt ceiling. According to Todd, the GOP have been playing "Russian Roulette" and threatening to "punish the American economy" with an "absurd" "game of chicken."

On Monday's New Day show, CNN hosted far-left justice analyst Elie Mystal for a second time to rant against Senator Mitch McConnell and the possibility that the Republican leader would block a U.S. Supreme Court pick by President Joe Biden if Republicans take back the Senate.

On New Day, CNN economics pundit Catherine Rampell said "nihilistic" Republicans, by potentially refusing to join in on raising the debt limit, "could set off a worldwide financial crisis . . .  panic through every financial market in the world." Rampell added Mitch McConnell "is basically happy to let the world burn as long as Democrats take the fault."

Morning Joe has a history of trashing Mitch McConnell, with Joe Scarborough having slimed him as "Moscow Mitch," and even more disgustingly, as "Chokehold Mitch."  But on today's show, Morning Joe went out of its way to praise the once [and future?] Senate Majority Leader for his advocacy of Covid vaccinations. In doing so, Morning Joe acknowledged that hearing praise of McConnell might be…
