Hours after Axios’s Sara Fischer broke news that White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki would be joining MSNBC, Psaki faced a slew of questions in Friday’s briefing about the ethics behind such a swift move and negotiating a job while still in government. CBS’s Ed O’Keefe broke the ice, but he was followed by future Psaki colleague Kristen Welker of NBC, who questioned whether she should be…

After a slanted softball from NBC’s Kristen Welker during Wednesday’s White House Press Briefing, Thursday’s briefing featured substantive questions about Hunter Biden’s life of corruption to White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield via Welker and CBS’s Ed O’Keefe and Steven Portnoy. This time, the trio pressed on whether they stand by President Biden’s claims that Hunter didn’t do…

During the evening news coverage of President Joe Biden's press conference following the emergency NATO summit in Brussels, ABC's World News Tonight completely ignored Biden's backtracking on the purpose of the Russian sanctions. After claiming they would help deter Russia from invading Ukraine, on Thursday Biden reversed course and said "sanctions never deter." Despite ABC's silence…

Monday morning prior to the start of Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, ABC, CBS, and NBC shoveled White House talking points that reveled over Jackson’s “historic nomination” and the “legal and political gauntlet” ahead and fretted Republicans are ready to “attack” with “fireworks” that could trigger “a political bounce” for President Biden.

After having two days off for President Biden’s State of the Union and trip to Wisconsin, Thursday brought the return of The Psaki Show and, with the Biden administration still refusing to ban the import of Russian oil, the questions were fierce. They included a slew from Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich with one presenting Psaki with the notion that the U.S. is “financing” Russia’s “war” against Ukraine…

During a Wednesday interview with Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer on MSNBC, White House correspondents Kristen Welker and Peter Alexander sounded more like White House press secretaries as they battled Comer on everything from COVID messaging to inflation to President Biden’s economic record.

On the eve of President Biden’s first State of the Union address, Monday, the broadcast networks previewed his big speech and each took a different approach, with ABC lamenting that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “forced” Biden to change his speech and CBS touting a fence around the Capitol. NBC was the outlier that showed Biden’s new terrible poll numbers from… ABC!

During a rowdy and contentious panel segment on Sunday’s Meet the Press, panelist and NBC chief Washington correspondent and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell made the hilarious claim that she’s a journalist and not a Democrat.

On the Saturday edition of Today on NBC, political contributor and PBS Washington Week host Yamiche Alcindor reacted to the news of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court with excitement that Democratic activists will have another voice on the Court, but lamented that her ability to actually bring change is limited.

The network newscasts on Thursday morning parroted Biden talking points when it comes to the President’s handling of the escalating Ukranian crisis. None of them questioned Joe Biden’s control of a situation that seems to be spiraling out of control. Instead, NBC assured Americans that the Democrat is “sensitive” to ramifications like sky high gas prices. 

In the morning after Russian President Vladimir Putin all but annexed two Ukrainian provinces, the major broadcast network newscasts largely chose Tuesday to absolve President Biden and his team for Putin feeling emboldened to take another step in what he views as reclaiming the old Russian empire.

On Friday, the annual March of Life was held in Washington, D.C. to mark the sad 49th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, which led to the deaths of tens of millions of unborn children in the Unites States through abortion. On Saturday, NBC’s Today show gave a few seconds to the massive pro-life demonstration while spending the rest of its report on promoting Planned Parenthood’s efforts to…

The hits just keep on coming for Joe Biden! On Thursday night's edition of NBC Nightly News, anchor Lester Holt sent his chief White House correspondent Kristen Welker down to South Carolina to interview African American voters about their softening support of President Biden. 

Wednesday marked what had to have been one of the more stressful days at the White House as President Biden spent nearly two hours before reporters, calling on 24 of them and fielding over 60 questions on a robust set of issues (aside from crime and illegal immigration). We've already covered the questions from Fox’s Peter Doocy, the New York Post’s Steven Nelson, Newsmax’s James…
