Trump documents indictment

On Morning Joe, Never Trumper Charlie Sykes praises former Trump attorney general Bill Barr for harshly criticizing Trump, but prefaces his praise by saying, "it takes a healthy gag reflex to accept Bill Barr."

During NBC’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd landed a sitdown interview with former Vice President and current presidential candidate Mike Pence. Predictably the interview started off by Todd asking Pence his thoughts on the indictment of former President Donald Trump due to allegations he held onto classified documents after leaving office. There’s an old saying that you shouldn…

A humorous moment took place Sunday during ABC’s This Week when co-moderator Jonathan Karl struggled to report a poll by state-affiliated media outlet National Public Radio which showed former President Donald Trump’s favorable ratings increasing among Republicans since his indictment. Trump went from 68 percent favorable prior to the indictment to 76 percent. It’s unclear whether…

Here was the headline this last week in The New York Times:

On Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour was joined by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, whom she described as “an award-winning historian and bestselling author, focusing on the dangers of authoritarianism.” Both host and guest went on an extended rant on the hypothetical threats of political violence ginned up by Trump supporters, or as Amanpour breathlessly put it, “…

Trying to explain why Donald Trump held onto classified documents after leaving the presidency, Morning Joe describes him as a pathological, weird, bizarre, criminal hoarder, similar to John Nash, the schizophrenic mathematician who was the subject of the movie, A Beautiful Mind.

Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett (R) joined CNN Primetime host Kailtan Collins on Thursday for a discussion that included a tense back and forth about whether CNN is creating “doubt in the mind of the public” by attacking Judge Aileen Cannon in the case of former President Trump’s second indictment with an exasperated Burchett telling Collins “I mean, come on, you're CNN, we know that, it’…

MSNBC spent 93 percent of Tuesday discussing former President Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday and it appears some at the network think that number is too low. One of those voices belongs to contributor, professor, and former Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who joined Thursday’s edition of The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle to demand that Judge Aileen Cannon work with Chief Justice John…

Seething MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Thursday’s Morning Joe discovered that there was in fact, no limit to the depths he would dig to smear Judge Aileen Cannon, who will be presiding over former President Trump’s criminal trial.  Putting aside how Trump had appointed her to the bench, the gist of Scarborough’s criticism was that she was too young and too dumb, thus she couldn’t be…

ABC’s Good Morning America co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos isn’t a fan of pushback over the second Trump indictment. In addition to meltdowns last week when now-ex-Trump attorney Jim Trusty brought up the Biden documents probe and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) doing the same on Sunday’s This Week, he pitched a third fit on Thursday’s GMA.…

Liberal media janitor and former Brian Stelter stooge Oliver Darcy threw a hissy fit in his reliably liberal Reliable Sources newsletter late Wednesday evening over a  chyron that aired Tuesday night on Fox News during a split screen moment when both former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden spoke at the same time. The chyron read "Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House…

Tuesday’s edition of the tax-funded PBS NewsHour aired a segment on Trump’s latest indictment, over classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate, that was devoted to neutralizing Republican accusations of a double standard between the political parties over document-related prosecutions, using an unlabeled Democratic lawyer and operative as cover.

If you were watching TV news back at the height of the email saga, you were lectured repeatedly about why nobody actually cared about Clinton’s emails, and why you shouldn’t either. Throughout it all, these journalists and their colleagues could barely contain their indignation that Clinton even was under investigation.

One would think that the second arraignment of former President Trump (for withholding classified documents) would have the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View in good spirits on Wednesday. And yet, they were having a major case of the sads because Trump didn’t show fear during the process. They also fretted that a “nutty MAGA” voter would make it onto the jury and he wouldn’t go to…
