Dr. Ben Carson appeared on CNN's Late Night with Abby Philip to discuss Louisiana putting the Ten Commandments in classrooms, which CNN thinks is wildly controversial and objectionable. Phillip eventually asked Carson why Trump favors this policy when "he doesn't even try to follow" the commandments. Carson turned to the promotion of Pride Month in schools. Phillip wanted to avoid that…
On the CNBC afternoon show The Exchange on Monday, anchor Kelly Evans and current CNBC contributor (and ex-Democrat Senator) Heidi Heitkamp implied that embarrassing video of Joe Biden turning around and wandering a few steps during a skydiving exhibition was a "deepfake," and not just a question of getting a different impression depending on camera angles.
PBS White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez is laughable: "There's been no evidence of President Biden weaponizing the Justice Department, and some of these prosecutions, we should note, are state prosecutions, not federal."
On Sunday's Meet the Press, House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries displayed how robotic he can be in repeating his "extreme MAGA Republicans gonna lie for Trump" spin. Four extreme MAGA labels in one answer, and later a fifth to boot.
On Sunday's Meet the Press on NBC, substitute host Peter Alexander asked a single question on the Hunter Biden trial. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries claimed that it was okay for President Biden to proclaim "my son has done nothing wrong," which is laughably false.
It was the usual "loving father" defense, as if that excuses the lying, just as Joe Biden claims he never discussed business with Hunter…
On CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, CNN analyst Scott Jennings went after young Rep. Louis Auchincloss (D-Mass.) on which part of the judicial system we "have to respect" after the Trump trial, considering President Biden ignored the courts in forgiving $167 billion in student-loan debt.

By any objective or rational standard, the challenges facing him, the scandals, the criminal trials -- all of that should be disqualifying. And yet he's competitive!" Maher said: "He's winning...and in the states that matter."
The taxpayer-funded PBS NewsHour keeps obsessing over clips from NBC's Meet the Press where host Kristen Welker pesters potential Republican vice-president picks refuse to commit to conceding the 2024 election before anyone votes. Host Geoff Bennett -- formerly of MSNBC -- complained this has become GOP "orthodoxy" and proclaimed "we know how damaging this denialism is for our democracy."
On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, the Week in Politics segment dove into the New York Times “scoop” that the flag flew upside down for a few days in January 2021 outside the home of Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito. This was Big News? Two years ago, when a man showed up outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house intending to assassinate him, the NewsHour didn’t find that worthy of this segment on Friday,…
