In a heated interview today on CNN, Joseph D. McBride, the lawyer for Capitol breach defendant Richard 'Bigo' Barnett—famously seen with his feet on a desk on Nancy Pelosi's office—condemned  the conditions of detention for the defendants, labeling them "D.C. Guantanamo Bay," and repeatedly accused the authorities of "torture."

It is an unfortunate fact of life that social media allows people to say all sorts of horrible things that they would never say to a person's face. This is what happened after three black English soccer players missed their penalty kicks in England's EURO championship loss to Italy on Sunday, but for Monday's CNN Newsroom, the fact that people are racist jerks on the internet provided…

On Thursday's installment of CNN Newsroom, host Jim Sciutto welcomed retired Lt. General and military analyst Mark Hertling onto the program to discuss and defend Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley's defense of Critical Race Theory being taught at West Point.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Michael Steele say that Democrats should abandon any attempts to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the Capitol breach, and instead "push through" the investigation on a purely partisan basis, using the subpoena power of the various House and Senate committees that they control.  And Jonathan Lemire, who along with his role as an MSNBC analyst…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, whom many on the right suspect of having abandoned his conservative roots and gone over to the liberal side, speaks well of Liz Cheney, saying: "people like me . . .  look at somebody like Liz Cheney and say, okay: well, there’s somebody that believes in small government, there’s somebody that believes in traditional foreign policy. Yeah! Sounds okay…

On CNN, New Day co-host John Berman, saying it was "almost biblical" how House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy might be "hanging [Liz Cheney] out to dry," says, that McCarthy's comments "were almost biblical. Like, three times he denied her."

Congressional correspondent Kasie Hunt joined Andrea Mitchell on her Thursday MSNBC show to discuss President Biden's Wednesday speech to Congress and Sen. Tim Scott's response to it. Hunt twisted herself into a rhetorical pretzel to declare that Biden's speech was "less partisan" and normal while also claiming the era of big government is back, while Mitchell criticized Scott's "very partisan…

Casual racism was the disgusting tone CNN decided to go with following South Carolina Senator Tim Scott’s delivery of the Republican response to President Biden’s address to Congress Wednesday night. Together, chief political correspondent Dana Bash and senior political correspondent Abby Phillip cackled as they attacked Scott as a liar for defending Republican election integrity efforts and…

With just a few hours until President Biden delivered his first address to Congress on Wednesday, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News couldn’t hold back their excitement as they trumpeted Biden’s call for an additional $4 trillion in federal spending on mostly liberal pet projects.

A confused Jim Sciutto asked former GOP Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake on Tuesday's CNN Newsroom why his fellow Republicans refuse to embrace gun control even after the 2017 Alexandria shooting where they were the ones being shot at. For Sciutto and Flake the only reasonable explanation was fear of getting primaried.

On New Day, CNN international correspondent Nick Paton Walsh, commenting on President Biden's decision to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan, says "I think [Afghanistan] has been left in the lurch to some extent, some would say."  Co-host Poppy Harlow grills Democrat Sen. Chris Coons, who supports the withdrawal, on the threat to women's rights.

Criticizing it as based on "calendars, not conditions," Richard Haass, in his ever-polite fashion, has ripped President Biden's decision to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of 9/11. On today's Morning Joe, Haass, the show's foreign policy maven and president of the Council on Foreign Relations, predicted the "near certainty" of a "human rights tragedy." He also…

On CNN's New Day, co-host John Berman says: "Lawmakers face a choice. It’s a choice they have faced before. Will they choose to take action, do something, anything, to try to stop these mass shootings, or will they choose the status quo?"

The effort to recall embattled California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) surpassed a critical hurdle Wednesday, after they made the deadline with over half a million more signatures than required (2.1 million total). But instead of reporting on this heavy blow to the hypocritical liberal Governor, ABC’s World News Tonight was busy suggesting everything was hunky-dory in California by being…
