Scarborough's Low Bar: AOC's Never Actually Threatened To Kill GOPers

Tyrrell Column: American Authoritarianism
If there was one dominant theme to President Joe Biden's inaugural address, it was unity. All Americans -- left, right and middle-of-the-road -- are to come together in unity, Joe said. On his theme of unity, Joe was emphatic, and the media cheered him on. Yet shortly thereafter, his perfumed rhetoric evaporated in the wintry air, and reality intruded. It began with Joe's executive orders.

Get Ready for Four Years of Media Sycophancy
On Sunday, Jan. 17, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down with Jane Pauley of CBS News "Sunday Morning." Pauley treated Harris to a full-on journalistic massage. At no point was Harris asked a tough question; at no point was Harris treated as anything other than an idol worthy of worship. Perhaps the most awkward manifestation of this sycophancy came when Harris -- an extraordinarily and…

Classless CNN Gloats Over Melania's Negative Approval Rating
CNN New Day co-host John Berman gloats over the fact that Melania Trump is the first First Lady to leave the White House with a net-negative approval rating. Manifesting the kind of negative coverage the liberal media has given Melania for years, he claims she "could not be bothered" to extend courtesies to the Bidens. As if she had a choice?

Inauguration 2021: Completely Different, Yet Same Old Bias

Media Ignore 'Most Admired Man' Poll After Trump Edges Obama
On Tuesday morning, Fox News viewers got to see that, for the first time, President Donald Trump has come in first place in Gallup's annual poll of "most admired man" of the year. But in contrast with how journalists swooned over former President Barack Obama the last time he came in first place, the other networks have so far ignored the finding.

CNN Admits Trump ‘Won The Economic Message Battle’
It’s a cold day in hell when leftist CNN concedes that President Donald Trump actually “won” anything.

CNN—Obama: 'Progress, Trump: 'Step Back', Kamala: 'Thrilling'
On CNN's "New Day," Abby Phillip, supposedly a "correspondent," described the election of Barack Obama as "progress" for America, whereas the election of Donald Trump was "a couple of steps back," with the "pendulum swinging" in the wrong direction. Phillip followed that bit of blatant liberal punditry by describing the prospective election of Kamala Harris as VP as "a thrilling moment."…
NY Times Book Critic Hails Obama's 'Radical Empathy' & 'Complex Ideas'
Former New York Times chief book critic Michiko Kakutani fulfilled her reputation for sucking up to President Barack Obama (while damning biographies that came up short of hagiography) in her long interview, “Self-Portrait Of a Storyteller And a President." In January 2009 she praised Obama’s "love of fiction and poetry" that "imbued him with a tragic sense of history and a sense of…

On PBS, Hack Schmidt Brags: I Restrained McCain in Campaign With Obama
On Tuesday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, MSNBC contributor and disaffected ex-Republican Steve Schmidt bragged about restraining 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain's losing campaign from exposing Democrat Barack Obama's ties to the radical pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, after NPR's Michel Martin cued him up to fault Republicans over race issues.

CNN: Republicans May Work With Biden Because He's White, Unlike Obama

SERIOUSLY? Jorge Ramos Whines the Media Wasn’t Hostile Enough to Trump
Univision senior anchor Jorge Ramos has, yet again, found occasion to milk his performative ejection from then-candidate Donald Trump’s 2015 Iowa press conference. This time, Ramos uses it as the basis from which to make the ridiculous assertion that the liberal media wasn’t hostile enough in covering Donald Trump.

VILE MSNBC: McConnell Is Terrorist Directing Black GOPers Like Puppets
Thursday night’s ReidOut featured one of the ugliest news segments one will ever see. Over the course of eight-plus minutes, MSNBC host Joy Reid and far-left race-hustler Michael Eric Dyson viciously condemned Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as a “racist,” “terrorist,” ventriloquist (or “geppetto”) controlling black Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron (R), and worshipper at “the altar of…

Lefties Mad at Obama For Throwing Cold Water on ‘Defund the Police’
Come on, guys. Everyone knows that beyond instigating a violent insurrection and anarchy against law enforcement, “defund the police” isn’t really a viable campaign policy. Even Barry Obama knows this. In a recent interview, the former president decried the slogan and the radical leftists at Jezebel blasted him for his lack of commitment to their most radical policy dreams.
