Jon Stewart: ‘Get on Board or Shut the F*** Up Is Not a Particularly Compelling Pro-Democracy Bumper Sticker’

Question: When did Jon Stewart become a “MAGA extremist”? Because, you’ll recall, prior to June 27, anyone who so much as suggested that perhaps Joe Biden was less than coherent was denounced as a MAGA extremist, a fascist, an enemy of “Our Democracy,” etc. Before the June 27 debate, any and all criticism of Biden […]

Prediction: Worst ‘Debate,’ Ever

Every day, I watch CNN (so you don’t have to) and for the past several days, they’ve been hyping up tonight’s so-called “debate” between Joe Biden and Donald Trump as the Most Important Debate in World History. Like everything else on CNN, this is a lie. There will be no actual debate tonight. That is […]

On MSNBC ‘Kerosene Maxine’ Labels Republican Voters ‘Domestic Terrorists’

Of all the people to be criticizing inflammatory rhetoric! Some readers may not be old enough to remember why California Democratic Rep.

The earliest presidential debate, ever: CNN is President Joe Biden’s preferred network to host at least one presidential debate, he said Wednesday. CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will host, according to Puck News. . . . The Biden campaign said the president would debate Trump only in June and September, without live audiences present. […]

Even CNN Has to Admit Biden’s Losing

Speaking as “someone worried about the prospects of a second Trump term,” Fareed Zarkaria yesterday told his viewers on CNN, “I think it’s best to be honest about reality,” i.e., Biden’s losing: “The shift here is stark,” Zakaria pointed out. “On the question of whom voters trust more to deal with the economy, Trump has […]

Media Monday: Does Joe Biden Really Have a ‘Brand as an Empathetic Leader’?

There are days when I read things in the mainstream media that just boggle my mind. Today was one of those days: Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki claims in her new book that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for soldiers killed during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in […]

A Made-for-TV Travesty: Can You Guess Who Takes Stormy Daniels Seriously?

One must be a connoisseur of media bias — or perhaps a glutton for punishment — to watch CNN, which I do (so you don’t have to). Do executives at the third-place cable news networks really think America craves wall-to-wall coverage of the sordid Stormy Daniels “hush money” trial inflicted upon Donald Trump by Soros-sponsored […]
