President Joe Biden managed to clear the lowest of low bars this week by not joining in with the radical left’s attempts to defend or add “context” to Hamas’s savage attack on Israel, but still, this led New York Times columnist David Brooks to hail the idea that “this was one of Joe Biden's best weeks as president” on Friday’s PBS NewsHour.

Ya gotta love the sheer self-unawareness at The New York Times. In the wake of the GOP rebellion in the House that cost GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy his job, The Times headlined this:

For years, NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers has demanded that Republicans put the country above their partisan self-interest, but when Republicans recently attacked Democrats for not doing so during the Speaker vote, Meyers essentially told Republicans on Thursday that they deserve it.

Andrea Mitchell isn’t just a midday MSNBC host, she is also arguably former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s number one media fan, so naturally she got triggered when former communications advisors to former Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, Brendan Buck defended Republicans booting Pelosi out of her office in the Capitol in the aftermath of Democrats joining with eight Republicans to unseat Kevin…

MSNBC All In host Chris Hayes traveled over to NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday to discuss the state of the political world including the situation surrounding House Republicans, Kevin McCarthy, and Matt Gaetz. For Hayes, one of the big takeaways was that the whole episode shows just how awesome former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was.

For his first post-Writers’ Strike guest, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss his favorite topic: Donald Trump’s weight. Schwarzenegger would also insist that he is still a Republican by offering up left-wing causes such as climate activism and “universal health care” as reasons why.

Saturday brought the simultaneously bizarre and outrageous development of New York Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulling the fire alarm in order to disrupt the House’s business as it eventually passed a 45-day continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown. Naturally, MSNBC’s Yasmin Vossoughian accepted the statement that it was just an accident.

Washington Post national columnist and hamburger height fact-checker Philip Bump released a column on Thursday discussing what he considers to be the latest scandal plaguing the Republican Party: the use of the terms “Chinese Communist Party” and “CCP.”

CNN senior political analyst John Avlon gave an unofficial donate to Biden 2024 on Friday’s CNN This Morning as he hailed his Thursday speech “about threats to democracy” and “bipartisanship” while Republicans launch their “farcical impeachment inquiry.”

MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss joined Thursday’s Alex Wagner Tonight to recap what the chyron described as President Biden’s “fourth address on saving democracy” and the previous night’s GOP debate. Naturally, Beschloss thought Biden was comparable to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt preparing the nation for World War II while lamenting Republicans were talking…

Political commentator and alleged former Republican strategist Ana Navarro argued on Tuesday’s CNN News Central that the lesson of the Sen. Bob Menendez scandal is that Democrats are better than Republicans because Democrats are distancing themselves from the “champion for the Latino community.”

The Saturday installment of ABC’s Good Morning America claimed to have found something President Biden should be concerned about: he’s not enough of a climate zealot. With no discussion on how Biden’s environmental policies impact the real world or even a Republican response, all viewers got were some far-left activists lamenting “it’s embarrassing.”

For PBS NewsHour’s regular weekly recap on Friday with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, the news that the national debt surpassed $33 trillion was deemed so unimportant that it was not mentioned. What was considered important are the internal power dynamics within the Republican Party.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Deep State Radio podcast host David Rothkopf spent Tuesday’s edition of The ReidOut trying to tie Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and the Supreme Court to not just the end of democracy in the United States, but in Africa where Russia and China are increasing their influence.
