Political Groups

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough had a curious reaction to the Tuesday news that Hunter Biden will be pleading guilty to tax and gun-related charges: lash out at Republicans and their “conspiracy theories.” Way Too Early host and Politico White House bureau chief Jonathan Lemire managed to one up Scarborough by adding that developments are “good news” for President…

The whole point of elections is to offer multiple competing visions for the future, but this was confusing to the cast of Friday’s PBS NewsHour with host Amna Nawaz how 2024 Republicans can “undermine” federal agencies, such as the Justice Department, while seeking to run them. Washington Post associate editor also proclaimed that such campaigning represents “projection.”

On June 9, the intrepid fact-checkers at Snopes decided that the anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is not a hate group. Why? Because they themselves say so and the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center does not list them as such.

New York Times columnist and the supposedly conservative half of PBS NewsHour’s weekly Friday Brooks and Capehart panel was dismayed that even “supposedly mature and moderate” Republicans were decrying President Trump’s latest indictment as “selective prosecution.” Washington Post columnist and pinch hitter Ruth Marcus went even further, labelling it “sickening.”

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley appeared on Friday’s CNN News Central to discuss former President Trump’s latest indictment and blamed it on a curious suspect: Gerald Ford. Brinkley and host Sara Sidner also acted as if nothing has happened between Watergate and present day when wondering why Republicans do not urge Trump to step aside like they did with Richard Nixon.

Over at The Hill, media analyst Joe Concha has hit directly on the difference in treatment between media coverage of the Biden family scandals and what would happen if in fact the same scandals involved a Trump family influence peddling operation raking in millions.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi kicked off his first show of Pride Month on Saturday by not just condemning Republicans for doing things such as “taking medically-necessary health care away from children,” but gleefully reporting that such positions are unpopular. Unfortunately for Velshi, not only does popularity not equal rightness, it just so happens to be that it is his position that is unpopular.

Friday was National Gun Violence Awareness Day and MSNBC’s Chris Jansing Reports used the occasion why gun violence in America is so bad. For former member of President Obama’s 21st century policing taskforce Brittany Packnett Cunningham, the answer lies with the fact that the GOP is the latest in a long line of horrible developments, including slavery, that promotes “this culture of…

CBS Saturday Morning and NBC’s Today put their thumb on the scales for Democrats as the White House and House Republicans seek to negotiate a deal to raise the nation’s debt limit. When it came to the GOP demand to add some work requirements for certain welfare programs, both networks would provide Democratic statements denouncing the idea with no corresponding Republican statement.…

Apparently, colleges just hand out PhDs to anyone who wants one because on Thursday’s The 11th Hour on MSNBC, economics Prof. Justin Wolfers wondered if Target is “cowardly” for backing off slightly on the store’s display of LGBT products for children or simply the victim of “economic terrorism.” Meanwhile, the pot called the kettle black as senior reporter Ben Collins called the…

Amid the fight and negotiations over the debt ceiling, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell teamed up with socialist Rep. Maxwell Frost to lament that Republicans are seeking to cut spending, specifically President Biden’s student loan forgiveness order.

The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin and Rolling Stone’s Jay Michaelson teamed up on Wednesday’s CNN Tonight to attack conservatives for wanting to boycott Target for certain Pride-themed merchandise aimed at children. In things never said about liberal boycotts, Farah Griffin labeled it “very totalitarian,” while Michaelson warned of “stochastic terrorism.”

As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prepares to launch his presidential campaign, NBC is pulling out all the stops to derail his bid before it gets going. On Monday, Henry Gomez wrote an article under the headline Ron DeSantis is learning that not every state wants to be Florida. Not only did Gomez not mention any anti-Florida states, he apparently can’t tell the difference between DeSantis’…

Why does every late-night host not named Gutfeld ignore President Joe Biden?
