After President Trump's acquittal celebration in the East Room on Thursday, ABC cued up correspondent Terry Moran to uncork an agitated lecture about a supposed "new low" in politics of top leaders questioning each other's faith. It's not new.
In today's outbreak of MSNBC Theology, legal analyst Maya Wiley lit into Sen. Lamar Alexander for allegedly sitting on Satan's fence, and therefore belongs to Satan. Given the channel's tilt, we can guess that the Pelosis and Schiffs are on the Jesus side, and Trump is with Satan.
There is going soft on Democrats, and then there's just embarrassing. On Monday's New Day, CNN anchor John Berman repeated Jill Biden back to herself that "Hunter is the heart and soul" of the Bidens. And no mention that the "heart and soul" dated his brother's widow, or fathered a child with a stripper....
On his Sunday show State of the Union, CNN anchor Jake Tapper harped on Sen. Joni Ernst about President Trump's phone call to Ukraine and tapdanced on the Biden line that "there's no evidence anybody did anything illegal." He pressed repeatedly for Ernst to denounce Trump's phone remarks as "inappropriate and wrong," but didn't seem to think that matched the Bidens.
On Saturday's Good Morning America, ABC chief political analyst Matthew Dowd was asked about political winners and losers of impeachment, and he insisted the biggest loser was "the constitutional system of checks and balances."
You know Republicans are winning when Bill Maher turns up his sourness level to Ten.
When Adam Schiff loses, PBS analyst David Brooks concludes Americans aren't "persuadable by evidence and facts anymore."
Rush Limbaugh pounced on Chuck Todd's remarks during NBC's live impeachment coverage on Friday afternoon. Todd lamented that if you're popular enough you can "essentially bulldoze the Constitution." Rush mocked him. "This is the sound of utter futility!"
Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly told Bill Maher the media's "100 percent" biased in the Trump era, and that CNN has become what Trump said it was, a megaphone for the Left.
Alex Wagner, who still sounds like an MSNBC opinionator at CBS News, insists on Bill Maher's show that the impeachment trial is a "test" of democracy, and unless Republicans remove President Trump, they have "shredded basic principles."
