Mike Johnson

Mel Brooks said it’s good to be the king — but is it good to be speaker of the House of Representatives? You’re the most powerful legislator in Congress, if not the world, and just two heartbeats away from being president. If you’re a Republican, though, your task is thankless and possibly hopeless. It looks that way for Speaker Mike Johnson right now.

CBS chief political analyst John Dickerson joined Stephen Colbert on Thursday for a special live edition of The Late Show, where the two fawned over President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address by claiming that simply by giving the speech, Biden “reknits those bonds” of democracy.

MSNBC’s host of The ReidOut, Joy Reid, and political analyst Michelle Goldberg continued the discussion of the Alabama Supreme Court’s recent ruling that embryos are people by arguing that the Republican reaction to the ruling proves that pro-life ideology is full of “actual consequences” and “contradictions.” However, they ultimately failed in this attempt, as their efforts led them…

If you were to ask one of those A.I. bots to write out a typical MSNBC diatribe, it would look like Joy Reid on the Tuesday edition of The ReidOut. In her opening rant, Reid went after conservatives in elected office, out of office, and on the Supreme Court. She accused conservatives of not liking black people, brown people, women, gay and transgender people, immigrants, and Muslims…

Macho MSNBC host Joe Scarborough continued to expose his troubling obsession with outward manifestations of masculinity. Macho Joe was back at it Tuesday during Tuesday's Morning Joe, twice referring to the Republican Speaker of the House as "little" Mike Johnson.

Morning Joe mocks Speaker Mike Johnson for partially blaming the Republican loss in the NY-3rd special election on an Election Day snowstorm. But the show ignored the fact that Democrats enjoyed a major advantage over Republicans in early voting and mail-in voting, and thus were not as affected for same day voting by the snowstorm.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough puts on a goober accent to mock MAGA supporters who believe Donald Trump's claim that he told the leader of a large NATO country that if attacked by Russia, he would not defend it if they were delinquent in their payments, and to the contrary would tell "them," i.e. Putin, to do "whatever the hell they want."

There were still more than 10 months to go, but John Avlon had the early lead in the race for The Year's Most Inapt Analogy. Predictably, on Wednesday, CNN This Morning raked the House Republicans over the coals for their failure to get the necessary votes to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, or pass a stand-alone Israel aid bill

With the border deal dead, it’s all over but the shouting. And by shouting, we mean ABC News continuing to carry the Biden administration’s water in an update that practically reads like it came out of the White House press shop.

House Republicans suffered a series of cringe-worthy losses on Tuesday night as they failed to impeach Biden Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and advance a bill to provide funding to support Israel in its war against the animalistic terrorist group Hamas. Naturally, ABC, CBS, and NBC took victory laps Wednesday morning over the “chaotic night” and “stunner” on Capitol Hill with…

As NewsBusters has documented, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their Monday morning and evening news shows to run crisis communications for the Biden administration and U.S. Senate to promote their border deal. By Tuesday morning, it turned towards shaming Republicans as they whined “the vibes in Washington are not good” as Donald Trump “told” Republicans to ensure they “tanked” the deal.
 

On Morning Joe, Biden flunky Joe Scarborough repeatedly mocks Speaker "Mikey" Johnson for supporting Trump's opposition to the border bill. Scarborough repeatedly imagines Johnson speaking in a heavy southern accent, though he has none, and makes multiple snide references to Johnson's Bible. 

From Amanpour & Co. to the PBS NewsHour, public television is all over the threat of “Christian Nationalism” as the 2024 presidential campaign gathers steam. Thursday evening’s edition featured perhaps the most conservative-hostile reporter on staff, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, to offer its taxpayer-funded liberal alarmism regarding devout Trump…

As (unfavorable) reaction to the just-dropped Senate-White House border bill continues to roll in, it is important to note the extent to which the drive-by media are doing the White House’s legwork by pushing this bill.
