PBS NewsHour pundit Mark Shields concluded his punditry on Friday with a very odd analogy, comparing the 2020 Democrats to the Founding Fathers, fighting a tyrannical King George III, who is somehow like President Trump.
MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell sounded like a bad Hollywood screenplay on Thursday night. And he's written a few bad screenplays for Hollywood in his time. Long after the Mueller Report fizzled, O'Donnell took the latest newspaper scribblings of conspiracy theory and concluded for his network's rabid Democrat audience: "The president is a Russian operative."
CNN and PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour interviewed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Munich, which aired on PBS on Monday night. Amanpour showed a photo of Pelosi ripping up Trump's State of the Union speech on the front of The New York Times and gushed "This really was one for the ages!"
On Sunday's so-called Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter uncorked a six-minute lecture on one of his favorite topics: How Trump is dragging America into authoritarianism. That's not how he would describe Obama-administration bureaucrats leaking to CNN, and then being rewarded with jobs at CNN.
On HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, former NBC morning host and CBS evening anchor Katie Couric expressed amazement at Michael Bloomberg's insults against Donald Trump as a "carnival barking clown" and more. "Oh my god, it was so amazing, wasn't it?"
On Friday night's Anderson Cooper 360, longtime ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson fervently endorsed Michael Bloomberg for the White House. The funny part was pretending Donaldson was always an objective professional until now.
On Thursday's The View, Joe Biden responded to sympathetic questions about his son Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine by claiming "Nobody has said he's done anything wrong.... This is a guy who's done nothing but good things his whole life."
On Sunday's Face the Nation, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told CBS host Margaret Brennan the media's "so in the tank" on the Biden scandal in Ukraine.
CNN's New Day put on "Tea Party conservative" Joe Walsh to say he'd back a socialist over Donald Trump in 2020.
On his MSNBC show on Thursday night, Chris Hayes brought up Elizabeth Warren's campaign problems in Nevada with staffers of color in the gentlest way possible.
