Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! For MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews, asterisks and history books are a small fascination of his. During the later years of the Obama presidency (here, here, here, and here are a few examples), Matthews fretted that birthers and other Obama critics supposedly wanted an “asterisk” next to his name or wiped completely from history…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! Talk about a contrast. On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Hardball offered two snippets that were both random and couldn’t have been any more different. In the first instance, there was former Apprentice contestant, former White House official, and now anti-Trump hero Omarosa suggesting that Kellyanne Conway is a bad wife for not quitting the White…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! A day after he offered a tired assertion that it was “surreal” that he and his media colleagues were questioning the White House about President Trump’s mental stability, CNN chief White House correspondent and carnival barker Jim Acosta was back on Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom offering another lengthy diatribe and meltdown to the delight of…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters. In light of President Trump’s weekend of tweeting about seemingly everything (and no further tweets about New Zealand since Friday afternoon), CNN returned to one of its favorite storylines with an assist from George Conway, which is that the President isn’t a stable person and might have a mental illness that makes him unworthy of the…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! For anyone who thought that CNN’s news programming could be trusted to deliver news without a visceral hatred for President Trump, Friday morning’s despicable attempts to pin blame for the New Zealand terror attacks on him should dismantle any and all skepticism.  From 6:00 a.m. Eastern to 12:00 p.m. Eastern, analysts, commentators, and…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! Has Robert O’Rourke captured the heart of Chris Matthews? After having watch the host of MSNBC’s Hardball over the last year, it’s safe to say that O’Rourke very well might and especially after Thursday in which he and his A-block panelists touted the Democratic presidential candidate’s “charisma,” “magical” qualities, “vibrancy,” and “…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews made clear on Wednesday’s Hardball that, despite Beto O’Rourke’s November 2018 electoral loss in Texas, he’s still enamored with former El Paso-area Congressman and excited about his presidential campaign.  At one point in the show, Matthews cheered the gooey, gushy Vanity Fair profile of O’Rourke as “the…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! After what must have been a insanely painful 42 days for the White House press corps, Monday afternoon featured a White House press briefing and, needless to day, carnival barker, CNN chief White House correspondent, and infamous newsman Jim Acosta made sure to make this briefing count. Acosta used his allotted two minutes as best he…

Check out the link to the full post here from NewsBusters! Offering the latest example on Monday’s New Day of how CNN has upped its game in working to destroy Fox News, Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter reveled in the controversies surrounding two opinion hosts to the point that he wondered why their straight news anchors aren’t quitting in mass protest. What’s amusing about this is the same…
