First Trump transition

Michael Steele and Symone Sanders, co-hosts of MSNBC's The Weekend, mock Donald Trump's appointment of Mark Burnett as a special envoy to the UK. Steele and Sanders dismiss Burnett as simply having been the producer of The Apprentice. In fact, Burnett, a British native who served in the Parachute Regiment of the British Army, has been the massively successful producer of…

Politico allowed their senior staff writer Ankush Khardori to reveal again his loathing of Trump in an article titled "You Should Worry About Kash Patel Running the FBI." He claimed Patel "calls to mind the specter of J. Edgar Hoover, the infamous FBI director whose nearly 50-year stint running the agency until 1972 was marked by egregious abuses of power."

Reacting to a clip in which accused murderer Luigi Mangione speaks of "lived experience," Joe Scarborough pretends to be unfamiliar with the phrase, saying "What does that mean? It's lived experience?"  He later goes on a rant, criticizing the qualifications of Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth.

On CNN This Morning, former Biden comms director Kate Bedingfield says that Biden's pardon on Hunter was justified, given Trump's alleged plans to go after opponents in the new administration. She expresses understanding of why Democrats are frustrated that Biden was not more "forthcoming" about his plans, and she expresses the wish that Biden had expressed his "ambiguity" about the pardon…

The incontrovertible top story of the day is Joe Biden's pardoning of his son Hunter, and the president having repeatedly lied in promising not to do so. But Joe Scarborough doesn't describe the pardon as even one of the day's two top stories.  Instead, he buries it 51 minutes into Morning Joe. And even when the show finally gets around to the subject, the gutless Scarborough doesn't express…

When last week Mika Brzezinski said that she and Joe Scarborough would like to have a face-to-face meeting with Trump, I wrote: "As for scoring an interview with Trump himself any time soon, don't bet the rent money at Polymarkets on it, Mika!" Oy, was I wrong! On today's Morning Joe, Mika announced that this past Friday, she and Joe did indeed meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. 

Much as we’re seeing today, in 2016 liberal reporters and commentators savaged Donald Trump’s first group of appointees as “radical” and “racist” “ignoramuses” who “disdain the missions of their assigned agencies.”

To comment on Trump's cabinet nominees, Sunday's episode of MSNBC's The Weekend has Chuck Rocha, a Democrat strategist, as a guest.  In his previous position as a senior union official, Rocha had been convicted of one count of felony embezzlement, and “acknowledged responsibility for the other 17 counts." Rocha compared Trump's nominees to the contents of a "junk drawer."  

Attempting to undercut Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, Morning Joe misled on the key issue of the physical fitness of female soldiers. After playing a clip of Hegseth expressing his opposition to women in combat, the show brought on NBC national security editor David Rohde, who said: "I think clips like the one you played will raise major issues. There are women in…

With Trump out of office and banned from most social media sites the left-wing fear mongers at NBC have nothing better to do than come after “Trump-lovers.” According to a recent FIRE survey about the willingness of Ivy League students to date members of the opposite political party, both men and women were less likely to date someone who supported Trump. This is due to conservative’s “bigotry…

CNN New Day co-host John Berman gloats over the fact that Melania Trump is the first First Lady to leave the White House with a net-negative approval rating. Manifesting the kind of negative coverage the liberal media has given Melania for years, he claims she "could not be bothered" to extend courtesies to the Bidens. As if she had a choice?

Talk about kicking people on their way, literally, out the door . . . CNN's nasty little parting gift for members of President Trump's White House staff was to suggest they might be thieves. On New Day, as footage rolled of staff members carrying items out of the White House, Alisyn Camerota wondered whether they might be "absconding" with them. And Errol Louis snidely said: "…

Few things provided a better example of the liberal media’s hypocrisy than when they praised something that they pushed to destroy. The latest version of this came from Monday’s NBC Nightly News, which featured anchor Lester Holt and Justice correspondent Pete Williams celebrating the Electoral College affirming President-elect Biden’s victory. But for the last four years, NBC has…

On her Tuesday show, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, along with contributor and former Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill accused Republicans of being hypocrites for being opposed to certain people nominated by Joe Biden to cabinet-level positions, but it was Mitchell and McCaskill who were the true hypocrites.
