Former NBC and MSNBC political referee (self-described) Chuck Todd resurfaced on The Bulwark’s podcast with his former MSNBC colleague Sam Stein, on Wednesday.

Trump SLAMS ‘Bad,’ ‘Horrible’ AP, CNN, MSNBC, PBS in Musk Interview
In an lengthy interview with Elon Musk that aired Tuesday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity (and taped late last week), President Trump unsurprisingly found time to lambaste the “bad,” “dangerous,” “horrible” liberal media as he and Musk have stood up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to shrink and tame the leviathan that is the federal government.

Column: Lara Trump's Fox News Show Upsets the Liberal Scolds
One Brian Stelter wannabe had a fit over Fox News hiring Lara Trump for a Saturday night show. They're illegitimate, and indefensible. But what about MSNBC granting shows to Biden-Harris press secretaries when Biden was president? Crickets.
Leavitt RIPS Lefty Media Double Standard, Grilled by NBC & RCP on Gaza
On Wednesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s third press briefing mostly centered around two wildly different issues of transgenderism and the future of the Gaza Strip (especially in light of President Trump’s Tuesday claim the U.S. would take it over). And, as she’s done, called on a wide swath of reporters from legacy liberal networks to our friends in conservative…
FCC’s Carr Wants CBS’s Kamala Transcript as Settlement Talks Ramp Up

WH’s Leavitt Calls on ‘Ruthless,’ NBC Asks About Black History Month
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt likely made more liberal media heads explode on Friday afternoon as, along with calling on our friends at the Daily Wire and receiving respectful yet tough questions from Fox’s Peter Doocy and Newsmax’s James Rosen, she called on one of the co-hosts from the Ruthless Podcast, a fine “variety progrum.”
Trump Battles ABC, CNN, NBC, NYT in WH Briefing on Airline Crash

New Sheriff in Town: Karoline Leavitt Opens New Era of WH Briefings
In the first the first White House press briefing of President Donald Trump’s second term, Press Secretary Karoline Levaitt made clear from the onset of the 46-minute-and-36-second briefing things would be different inside the Brady Briefing Room. Along with the opening and closing statements made famous by Kayleigh McEnany, Leavitt announced seats for new media and called on 21 different…
Last KJP Briefing Brings an Emotional Speech, Non-Answers, and a Shrug
Wednesday afternoon brought us the final Biden White House press briefing and, by her own count, the 306th featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. It featured Jean-Pierre emotionally patting herself on the back, plenty of unanswered questions (mostly stemming from the monumental Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal), the final Jacqui Time, and even Jean-Pierre doing her own…
The 18 Best Battles, Hardballs, Smackdowns From the Biden WH Briefings
With the final White House press briefing on Wednesday afternoon, we’re looking back at the best hardballs, tussles, and moments over the hundreds of Biden administration press briefings, primarily helmed by Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre.

Good News & Bad News: Cain Gets 4pm Hour, But Maddow Back to 5 Nights
Monday was not only a week until Inauguration Day, but one filled with media news.

PBS, NPR Blame Fox for Marines at Capitol Riot Where ‘Seven' (?) Died
PBS News Weekend blamed Fox News and “far right” websites for the Capitol Hill riot (or as both PBS and their NPR guests insisted, “insurrection”) on a news segment Sunday evening, the eve of the fourth anniversary of that terrible day in the nation’s capital. NPR's Lauren Hodges spoke of the rioters: “They had an eagerness to see some violence or participate in it.” Which makes it…
KJP Ducks This Simple Question From Fox in First WH Briefing of 2025
The Biden White House snuck in a press briefing Friday afternoon amid the House speaker vote hullabaloo and it had the predictable tone of senioritis with networks reaching deep into their bench for correspondents and producers willing to listen to Karine Jean-Pierre stammer and stumble her way through process questions about Biden’s final days in office, Biden blocking the sale of U.S. Steel…
