When President Trump first announced his administration's accelerated vaccine development plan (Operation Warp Speed) on May 15, the media immediately began thinking up reasons to disapprove. Within hours, journalists were bashing the program as “dangerous” and unrealistic “happy talk,” as well as insisting that according to “the experts,” a vaccine could not be developed by the end of 2020.

NBC News Now must be having trouble booking quality guests with Thanksgiving around the corner, because it’s a bloodbath over there today. In an especially difficult-to-watch segment during the 2pm ET hour, host Joshua Johnson’s guests included a Politico writer so nervous she could barely complete a sentence, and a professor who was there to opine on an event he didn’t even know was taking place.

On Monday, CNN Newsroom host Kate Bolduan brought on a member of the Lincoln Project who insisted that it was “unlawful” for any member of Michigan’s canvassing board to delay certifying that state’s election results.

During the 2000 Presidential election, TV journalists indulged losing candidate Al Gore’s protracted attempts to overturn the election, treating his lawsuits and requested recounts with great respect. Yet the same media today are exasperated by President Trump’s refusal to concede. Pundits incuriously dismiss the Trump campaign’s lawsuits as “frivolous” and the recounts as “pointless,” meanwhile…

The media can’t be bothered to hide their utter hatred of conservatives, particularly the President’s supporters. In the eyes of our media elite, working-class Americans who refuse to swallow the prescribed liberal orthodoxy comprise a detestable “cult” of “white nationalists” and “rubes.” They’re “dangerous,” “angry,” “bigoted,” “xenophobic,” “gullible,” “and of course, “racist.”

For almost a week, liberal cable and broadcast networks have ignored the FBI saying it has “nothing to add” to DNI Ratcliffe’s assessment that the alleged Hunter Biden laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Despite these statements from both Ratcliffe and the FBI, TV journalists continued to warn viewers that the entire story looks like a Russian intelligence op.

Back in May, President Trump told Fox News he’s “greeted with a hostile press, the likes of which no president has ever seen....Ninety-four or ninety-five percent of the press is hostile.” Fact check: True. While every President has their critics in the press, the Trump presidency has been unique in that a massive percentage of the media — hosts, columnists, commentators, contributors, anchors…
