Campaigns & Elections

On Saturday afternoon, CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield promoted a clip of Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) from the day before when he tied the election of Donald Trump to racism and suggested that it was similar to the end of the Reconstruction era and the beginning of new Jim Crow era. Ultimately, he smeared America by saying his "real problem now is not Democrat versus Republican," but rather…

In the alternative reality that is HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the eponymous host claimed on Sunday that Kamala Harris ran “a centrist campaign” and therefore it is unfair for people to blame the far-left for her loss.

There’s a well-understood comedy axiom that says if you have to explain why something is funny, then it isn’t, but NBC's Saturday Night Live fails to understand this because, in response to Donald Trump’s victory, the cast came together for a cringe-inducing performance where they pretended to support him in an attempt to stay off an enemies list. 

During its five shows during the fall presidential campaign from September 28 through November 2, a Media Research Center study found that NBC’s Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che told a total of 38 jokes about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Of these, 34, or 89 percent, were about Trump.

Appearing as a guest on Friday's The 11th Hour, MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude charged that racism was the real reason Donald Trump was reelected President and raged over fellow liberals implicating economic issues instead. The race-obsessed analyst even tied in Trump supporters allegedly finding it "confusing" to see "racially ambiguous children on Cheerios commercials."

Appearing as a guest on the Election Day edition of Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough joined contributor Michael Beschloss in fretting that a Donald Trump win would result in less freedom of speech. He also falsely asserted that Trump  "said he was going to execute Liz Cheney," and put down MAGA Republicans, declaring that they "apparently didn't go to civics class."

On the Saturday edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Symone Sanders tears into Nancy Pelosi. Mocking her vaunted vote-counting ability, Sanders asks, "where's her calculator now?" And she blasts Pelosi for pushing for an open primary. Sanders also rips the strategists who "fleeced" the Kamala campaign. She suggests they should be exiled, as Hillary's 2016 campaign manager Robby Mook was…

They couldn’t abide him. And they made no secret of it. The “they” here is the so-called “mainstream” media - aka in reality the liberal media.

According to The Dispatch’s Sarah Isgur, it is not so much that Republicans won on Tuesday as much as it is that Democrats lost as a result of liberal culture warring and economic incompetence. HBO Real Time host Bill Maher might have been willing to concede the first point, but not the second as he addressed inflation by asking, “Can we shut up about bacon?”

CNN panelist and Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton greatly upset author and activist Jay Michaelson on Friday’s edition of CNN NewsNight when he said that one reason Kamala Harris lost is because the left has gone too far left on social issues, mainly allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports. While Michaelson falsely accused Singleton of using a “slur,” host Abby Phillip…

The passage of a few days to allow for more mature reflection after Election Day has not affected Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Capehart attributed Donald Trump’s victory to “racism and sexism” and a list of other horribles that the country refuses to acknowledge.

The most potent way to prove liberals hate America is to beat them in an election. Sunny Hostin, the staunchly racist co-host ABC’s The View, flaunted her anti-Americanism on Friday as she repeatedly shouted over her co-hosts as she demanded to know “what is wrong with America?!” and suggested the voters were “the problem.”

NBC’s Seth Meyers mourned on Thursday’s edition of Late Night that our “stupid system” has enabled Donald Trump to escape his legal difficulties and that there are those in the Democratic Party who think the reason why he won is because they are too far left.

The late night comedy shows may not have been very funny after Donald Trump’s election victory, but the Wednesday edition of CNN’s Inside Politics was as PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez got the panel to agree that one reason Kamala Harris lost is that, unlike Trump, she did not have a “media ecosystem” to help her get across the finish line.
