On Monday, Brandon Gillespie at FoxNews.com reported on The Washington Post fretting that White House willingness to appease West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin by not increasing spending quite as much – but still spend trillions – was somehow the equivalent of making “grueling cuts.” Of course this is about legislation that hasn’t even passed yet.

Jockeying with MSNBC colleagues to be the Biden administration’s Baghdad Bob on Afghanistan, ReidOut host Joy Reid spent Thursday’s show bolstering her resume by chastising the media for having a “gaze...fixed on Afghanistan” and being “pissed off” that the deadly and chaotic withdraw hasn’t “go[ne] smoothly” instead of spending more time focusing on the January 6 riot or Thursday’s…

CNN didn’t just make one mistake trying to push President Joe Biden to extend the eviction moratorium. It made more than 200,000. That’s how much money it helped raise for a “mom” who wasn’t even the real mother of the kids in the story.

Fresh off of her comments to CBSN about needing private security as she calls for the defunding of police to leave her constituents unprotected from violent offenders, Squad member and Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) was welcomed like a conquering hero Sunday morning on CNN's State of the Union as co-host Dana Bush bought into Bush's savior shtick.

Morning Joe has a history of trashing Mitch McConnell, with Joe Scarborough having slimed him as "Moscow Mitch," and even more disgustingly, as "Chokehold Mitch."  But on today's show, Morning Joe went out of its way to praise the once [and future?] Senate Majority Leader for his advocacy of Covid vaccinations.
