On Tuesday night’s The Briefing, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki ran a segment about the recently declassified Durham annex in relation to the Russia collusion hoax. The new document released by Senator Chuck Grassley appeared to shed more light on Hillary Clinton's involvement in the conspiracy to use the idea of collusion to explain President Trump’s 2016 win. Despite new evidence, Psaki called the documents…
Sunday morning, Kasie Hunt on CNN’s State of The Union interviewed Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin in order to ask about the Trump administration's recent proposal to overturn the 2009 endangerment finding.

This week, major news outlets like ABC and MSNBC have been up in arms over a recent instance of a model doing her job, which was of course, modeling.

On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe had on Political Correspondent Jonathan Lemire to talk about the recent release of documents regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Lemire started the downplaying instantly on the recent…
On Thursday, MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera ran a segment on her eponymous show regarding the recent Russian election interference report from DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

On Tuesday, CNN’s The Situation Room had on Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder and former Columbia University student, as he attempted to downplay claims from the Department of Homeland Security that he was a terrorist sympathizer. Co-host Pamela Brown seemed to give him a layup by asking him if he condemns the terrorist group Hamas, but he just couldn’t say the words.

On Friday night’s The 11th Hour, MSNBC host Symone Sanders ran a segment discussing the recent announcement of CBS’s move to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ending David Letterman’s legacy.

On Wednesday night, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki made biased and flat out false claims in the lead up to the recent passing of HR 4 by the Senate early Thursday morning, during The Briefing. Psaki and her guest, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly (D), tried their best to argue against the cutting of taxpayer funding to PBS and NPR by omitting key details.
Psaki led up to the interview by making egregiously…
On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki sounded the alarm on The Briefing to warn against the Trump administration's desire to “dismantle” the Department of Education. Despite fear mongering talking points, Psaki failed to generate any concrete opposition for the cuts and instead claimed essential programs would collapse.
Instead of offering a balanced viewpoint on the situation, Psaki elected to…
