On Monday night's Tucker Carlson Tonight, the Fox host had a message for Team Biden: "If you want them to take the vaccine, don't berate them. Don't issue more commands. Calm their fears by rationally explaining the benefits and the risks of taking the vaccine. That's how you deal with adults."
CNN led off New Day this morning at 6 am Eastern by suggesting Tucker Carlson may want you dead. Point and laugh at the network that uses "Facts First" as a motto, when perhaps it should be "Hate Fox First."
CNN primetime host Don Lemon appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night to plug his new book on racism and the flaws of white people. He told Fallon that the Capitol riot and all the white unease is over America becoming a "majority-minority" country.
On Tuesday's New Day, CNN pundit John Avlon uncorked another "Reality Check" that sounds just like a DNC-approved packet of talking points. He claimed a Nexis search of Fox News over the last week showed twice as many mentions of "cancel culture" as the "COVID relief bill."
CNN aired an entire White House event live on Monday's The Lead with Jake Tapper. Biden nominated two female generals for combatant commands. At the end, Biden failed to remember the name of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and even the name of the Pentagon.

On Monday's Situation Room, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer teed up the talking points of NAACP boss Derrick Johnson. They both implied opposition to Biden nominees like Neera Tanden was somehow racist.
CNN morning host John Berman gushed over Biden's announcement that the adult population of America can all be vaccinated by the end of May. "After all we’ve been through the last year, it really would be a miracle. And now it may be! And a lot sooner than thought!... If it all happens as planned, it really will be a remarkable achievement."
On Friday's Ingraham Angle on Fox News, they discussed the gushy Kelly Clarkson interview with Jill Biden, and how Biden insisted that without her divorce she would have never met Biden. But there's a wrinkle in that claim the media ignore. Doctor Jill's first husband said they were friends with the Bidens a couple of years before the divorce.
CNN.com columnist Jill Filipovic argued with a straight face on Reliable Sources that Republican presidents have an "entire right-wing media apparatus that supports them," but the so-called "mainstream media" just "interrogate whoever is in power."
