On Monday's Live with Kelly and Ryan, Ali Wentworth (Mrs. George Stephanopoulos) reported that she and George and their two daughters cried for 45 minutes over the news of Ruth Bader Ginsburg passing away.
On Sunday's Reliable Sources on CNN, Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik insisted the "mainstream" press can't be ruthlessly political, but Fox News and Breitbart and the Daily Caller were all founded as political tools who have no shame over lying and slandering people.
Disgraced NBC News anchor-turned-MSNBC host Brian Williams turned to Jon Meacham on Friday night to recount the idea that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a figure of "divine righteousness" as she died on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
On Saturday's Good Morning America, ABC reporter Terry Moran was all gush and no balance, touting Ruth Bader Ginsburg as changing America -- "through force of character and her brilliant intellect, was able to expand our understanding of those bedrock constitutional ideals, equality and liberty."
Peter Alexander laid it on thick on Saturday on NBC, telling Andrea Mitchell "you know that for Ginsburg, her Jewish faith was so important. By Jewish tradition, a person who dies on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, as it was yesterday, is a person of great righteousness."
In his first interview to promote his new anti-Trump book Rage, Washington Post editor Bob Woodward and CBS host Scott Pelley played a silly game where they claim reporters aren't supposed to share their opinions. Then Woodward says Trump is "dynamite" behind the door that should be removed from the White House.
On Saturday morning, weekend Today host Peter Alexander was throwing hardballs at RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
Bizarrely, Chuck Todd took a moment on MTP Daily on September 11 to mourn that we don’t have the same national unity today that we did after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This came about ten minutes after he opened the show by saying the virus takes a 9/11 death toll every week, and that President Trump is irresponsibly downplaying the threat.
On 9/11, MSNBC host Chuck Todd lamented "we have not had the same spirit to go after this pandemic as we did to go after those terrorists."
On The Daily Show, host Trevor Noah thinks protesters flipping over restaurant tables is funny. It's rude, he jokes, unless you begin by introducing yourself. "Hi, I'm Sean, I'll be your protester this evening."
