CNN RAGES at ‘Lying’ Trump’s ‘Dangerous,’ ‘Idiotic,’ ‘Soviet’ Comment
April 24th, 2020 10:29 PM
Friday afternoon, CNN melted down into a panel of juvenile performance artists, spending over 15 minutes screeching President Trump’s remarks Thursday and a Friday follow-up about disinfectants and sunlight as a “dangerous,” “double speak,” “idiotic,” “ludicrous,” “Soviet fashion,” and “a waste of time” (even though CNN was harping on it hourly).

April 23rd, 2020 9:37 PM
Ahead of Thursday’s NFL Draft, there was a rhetorical pummeling at the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing as the horribly biased Washington Post White House bureau chief Philip Rucker found himself flattened by President Trump as “total faker” after he insisted that it was “dangerous for you to” encourage people to go outside as the temperatures warm up despite the presence coronavirus.…

Trump, CDC Director Spar with Karl Over ‘Fake News,’ WashPost Quote
April 22nd, 2020 11:02 PM
Wednesday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing saw fireworks after Tuesday’s episode was a welcome change with a calm, civil, and sober tone among the cast of reporters. But on Wednesday, CDC Director Robert Redfield was in the spotlight to clarify comments that sent the wildly (and eagerly) apocalyptic media into a tizzy. Of course, Redfield’s appearance didn’t satisfy reporters.

April 21st, 2020 10:15 PM
Try as they might to memory hole their disdain on Thursday for the Trump administration’s reopening guidelines, CNN rallied around them on Tuesday after leaving the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing in order to spend over 12 minutes engaging in their usual bomb-throwing, partisan gibberish.

Trump Trashes CBS’s Jiang, ‘Pathetic’ Jeremy Diamond of ‘Terrible’ CNN
April 20th, 2020 1:59 AM
During Sunday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing, President Trump clashed with two usual suspects in CBS’s Weijia Jiang and CNN’s Jeremy Diamond after loaded, snarky questions on behalf of their fellow liberal media firefighters, acting with supposed bravery and perseverance.

Howard Dean Refuses MSNBC Appearances Until Trump Briefings Stopped
April 17th, 2020 5:26 PM
Failed presidential candidate Howard Dean has a new mission in life as an MSNBC contributor. It is to be what he sees as a pricipled censor. Dean has announced that he refuses to make any more appearances on that network until it stops broadcasting Trump's White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings.

STUDY: CNN & MSNBC Blast Trump’s Briefings, Don’t Show 13 Hours
April 16th, 2020 10:05 AM
A Media Research Center study found that CNN has carried just 69 percent of the White House's coronavirus briefings’ runtime of those conducted March 30 through April 14. That’s 999 of 1,435 minutes, leaving seven hours and 16 minutes unaired. MSNBC has aired live 1,088 minutes, or 76 percent, not running five hours and forty-seven minutes. Thus, CNN and MSNBC viewers missed more than 13 hours of…

Acosta: Trump Is ‘Baghdad Bob’ on Virus, Bashing WHO Is ‘Distraction’
April 14th, 2020 8:42 PM
CNN was up to no good early Tuesday night, dipping in and out of the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing to peddle of liberal punditry and Trump hate, even though some CNNers painfully conceded that President Trump was right about the World Health Organization’s China fetish. That didn’t apply to chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who called Trump “Baghdad Bob” on the virus and…

‘You’re a Fake’; CBS's Reid Acts Like Acosta, Melts Down in Trump Duel
April 13th, 2020 10:47 PM
Monday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing was a barn burner. Between the video showing the liberal media downplaying the virus, clips of Democrats praising President Trump, and reporters losing it, it had everything. But most notable was CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid getting in a shouting match with Trump that seemed to imply she was blaming him for the deaths of over 20,000…

Speaking on Monday’s Outnumbered Overtime, FNC’s Special Report host Bret Baier made a number of points that, as usual, won’t be made by CNN and MSNBC hosts.

April 13th, 2020 12:34 PM
Appearing on Sunday’s Meet the Press, NBC historian Jon Meacham slammed the daily White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings as nothing more than “informercials” in which President Trump was only interested in “selling” to the American people, “not protecting them.” The rant came in response to the President rightfully declaring the decision to reopen the country as the pandemic subsides would…

Yamiche Alcindor Lectures Surgeon General About Offensive ‘Language’
April 10th, 2020 7:05 PM
Supposedly doing the work of the American taxpayers as a PBS correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor used Friday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force daily briefing to try and cancel U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams for urging racial minorities to, along with following CDC coronavirus guidelines, avoid the use of alcohol and drugs for the well-being of “your abuela,” “granddaddy,” “big mama,” and “pop-…
