Ron DeSantis

On Thursday's The Beat on MSNBC, fill-in host Katie Phang devoted a segment to promoting the fake news that Republican governors like Ron DeSantis are preventing black history from being taught in schools even though the curriculum he adopted requires the teaching of black history, including the parts that involve slavery.

The following is just a small sampling of the worst media outbursts post the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary: 

Amongst the late night comedians there exists a peculiar theory that says the reason why Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis struggled and ultimately failed to win the Republican presidential nomination is because he pursued policies as governor that they, a bunch of liberals, do not like and that nobody else cares about. NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers was the latest example on Tuesday as he…

A Republican senator called on the Supreme Court to finally address the rampant censorship targeting Americans’ speech on Big Tech platforms.

In the aftermath of Ron DeSantis dropping out of the GOP presidential race over the weekend, MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin led a panel in trashing the Florida governor over his electoral misfortune, hitting him with personal attacks and accusing him of being a terrible governor.

On Morning Joe, the normally avuncular Eugene Robinson takes nasty shots at Ron DeSantis on the occasion of his suspending his campaign for the GOP primary. The show quotes from Robinson's most recent Washington Post column in which he mocks DeSantis' "awfully high heels on his cowboy boots."

The late night quintet spent their Monday shows celebrating the news that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has decided to drop out of the Republican primary by mocking his appearance and making fun of his Winston Churchill blunder by claiming that is what happens when you “ban textbooks.”

Unsurprisingly, Disney-owned ABC News was ebullient on Monday’s Good Morning America with the news from Sunday afternoon that Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) – who took on and embarrassed the Sunshine State behemoth — had dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, calling it an “implosion” and “spectacular failure” that hadn’t been seen in American history.

On Morning Joe, commenting on Ron DeSantis's withdrawal from the race, Joe Scarborough says that DeSantis made the mistake of trying to get into the lane that Donald Trump had already filled, that of the super-MAGA voters. Scarborough depicted Trump as the "Fat Elvis" of 1977, and that people going to see him in Las Vegas weren't going to instead choose a knock-off imitation of Fat Elvis. 

On Wednesday's The Source, CNN host Kaitlan Collins demonstrated that the liberal news network is still showing a double standard in aggressively fact-checking Republicans while still allowing Democrats to peddle misinformation.

The Cable News Network, in an apparent desire to torture its viewers, decided that a one-hour candidate town hall required a two-hour post-show analysis. Which, in this case, was about one hour and 40 minutes too many.

On Tuesday’s installment of MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, the eponymous host defended the media’s decision to project Donald Trump as the winner of the Iowa Caucus even before all precincts and started voting by claiming voters couldn’t change what they were going to do. Meanwhile, correspondent Vaughn Hillyard blamed modern technology for the media’s decision as if it was somehow…

Before many Iowa caucus sites even had attendees cast their ballots, most national news organizations projected former President Trump as the winner, leading to cries of election interference (despite most admitting that was already going to be the outcome). Early Tuesday, CBS Mornings and co-host Tony Dokoupil went against the grain and, unlike ABC’s Good Morning America and…

On CNN This Morning, Jamal Simmons, a CNN commentator and former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, calls Donald Trump a "walking, talking, middle finger."
