MSNBC Cues Pelosi to Spew Trump 'Hoax' Lie, Claim Trump 'Cost Lives'
April 18th, 2020 11:09 AM
MSNBC ducked out of the Friday night briefing for a typical DNC-style softball interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Republicans get the third degree, Democrats get the "What would you like to say about that?" Melber started by asking Pelosi to "walk us through" what's going on with the small-business loan program that's running out of funds. Then Melber cued up the Speaker to lie that the…

Column: The Late-Night Comedians Rage at Trump
April 17th, 2020 7:28 AM
The biggest joke in Barack Obama’s endorsement video for Joe Biden was his warning about what Biden was facing. “It won’t be easy. The other side has a massive war chest. The other side has a propaganda network with little regard for the truth," he said. Obama has almost the entire news (and entertainment) media eating out of his hand. The late-night comedians lash out at Trump with buckets of…
Stop Pretending Pandemic Politics Are the New Norm
April 2nd, 2020 2:39 PM
"There are no libertarians in a global pandemic." So goes the smug punchline of large-government advocates who point to the necessity of collective action in the face of an unprecedented global crisis. Without government, they say, we'd all be dead. Few libertarians would disagree. The hardcore libertarians at Reason magazine aren't spending their days fulminating over the evils of government-…

CNN Host to Biden: Isn't It Worrying You Can't Campaign, Touch People?
April 1st, 2020 12:12 AM
Huh. That headline sounds like something NewsBusters would write for an April Fool’s Day post. But, to borrow a favorite quote one of the two subjects of the post below, this was not a joke.

March 26th, 2020 12:21 AM
Following suit from MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and unlike his CNN colleague Dana Bash from Tuesday, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer didn’t offer anything Wednesday in interviewing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that’ll end up in a career highlight reel showing journalistic prowess.

Wow: CNN Actually Calls Out Pelosi's Botched Corona ‘Wish List’
March 25th, 2020 12:26 PM
Unlike the friendly, compliant Andrea Mitchell, CNN (of all networks) actually questioned Nancy Pelosi’s botched efforts to get election reform and climate change legislation into the Coronavirus stimulus package.
