So much thick-headed media activity this past week. OTOH Chuck Todd panders to the center again, or perhaps it's the college drop-out demographic. x A @MeetThePress fail today: talking about anti-Asian violence and racism – without any Asians on the panel. I can’t imagine MTP having a discussion about anti-Black...

I think there will be certain things that are predictable for tomorrow night’s Democratic presidential debate.   You know you suck as a moderator when you get panned by both Democrats and Fox “News.”  And I am talking about Bothsiderist Chuck Todd.  Seriously, I don’t normally pay any attention to Fox, but...

Sen. Lamar Alexander was one of the key votes in transforming our republic into a cult of personality in which the emperor is completely unaccountable to the law or the people. So you’d think he’d be better able to explain his decision to turn Donald Trump’s impeachment trial into a sham:...

Chuck “I’m no freakin’ TV referee” Todd stated that Senate Democrats and Republican each have a list of impeachment witnesses that are based upon the old MAD (mutually assured destruction) rule with nuclear weapons.  Democrats want Bolton and Mulvaney and who knows else that has dirt on Trump to testify, and...

A new Chuck Todd interview with Rolling Stone in advance of a special program on disinformation also demonstrates MSM complicity. Bothsideism writ large, and Jay Rosen takes Todd to task. Chuck Todd: “So look, whether we’d liked it or not, our platform has been used, or they’ve attempted to use...

The political press corps may have hit peak impeachment failure on Sunday when Meet the Press host Chuck Todd introduced a segment in which voters from a toss-up district in Michigan were interviewed about the House proceedings against Donald Trump.

Republicans proudly advertised their radical ways during Wednesday's impeachment hearings into Donald Trump, wallowing in conspiracies and embracing debunked claims. The question now: How does the Beltway media cover a party that has aggressively removed itself from reality? How does the news business describe and treat a political party that routinely...

Here’s a quick news quiz: If you were editing The New York Times and advisers to Michael Bloomberg were telling your reporters that the billionaire might run for president, would you run that story on the front page? For how many days in a row? Considering he is the former mayor of New...

“All right senator, I have no idea why a Fox News conspiracy, propaganda stuff is popping up here,” lamented Meet The Press host Chuck Todd on Sunday morning, trying to get a straight answer out of Republican Wisconsin Sen.

As Donald Trump’s guilt becomes more and more apparent, the deflections and obfuscations his defenders engage in have gone further and further off the rails. Today on Meet the Press, Chuck Todd (who, in a watershed moment for journalism, recently started rockin’ a full beard instead of that sad Klingon-with-late-stage-malaria goatee),...

I’m one of the first to pan the Media and MSNBC, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of what I saw today. First up, MSNBC went into the latest Monmouth Poll.  And on MTP, they did go into the fact that there is a 5.7% range in the poll. ...

Presidential candidate Donald Trump made a lot of promises on his way to the White House. Most ranged from the outright laughable to the literally impossible. Predictably, very few of Trump’s guarantees came to pass. He did not “build a wall” and have Mexico pay for it. President Trump did...

When it comes to the Sunday morning network talk shows, no other influential media platform has done so little to adjust its approach to our radical, untruthful president. Sticking to their staid, deeply respectful format where Republican government officials are treated as perpetual truth-tellers, the Sunday shows remain proudly and...

In late May, President Donald Trump shocked many when he rejected the assessments of his own administration and U.S. allies about recent North Korean violations of United Nations resolutions regarding its ballistic missile program.

Besides the odious Chuck Todd, there was another jarring part to the first Democratic Debate for president.  I have had to listen to the pundits and journalist say with certainty that Democrats CANNOT spend all their time attacking Donald Trump.  Voters want to hear what Democrats will do for the. ...

Because why should he stop grifting us all just because he’s out office?  I didn’t watch the entire Donald Trump/Chuck Todd interview because I’d scheduled a colonoscopy. I wasn’t due for one, but it seemed preferable to watching this, and the horse vet was able to squeeze me in at the...

Baghdad Blob* was on Meet the Press this morning to discuss the week in Trump insanity. Needless to say, this exchange was chilling: CHUCK TODD: Does [Trump] expect criminal charges, does he expect — he’s accused James Comey of treason. Does he expect Jim Comey to be arrested?

Mr. Bothsiderist — Chuck “Not My Job to Be a Referee” Todd – and several other talking heads have bemoaned the fact of the lack of “bipartisanship” by Democrats during the upcoming House hearings, but yesterday, the Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform proved that they cannot be allowed...

Yes, you can never trust a Never Trumper, but Michael Steele had a great turn of phrase for Senator Mitch McConnell’s support of Trump’s upcoming declaration of a “national emergency”:  “He has taken his thirty pieces of silver.”  For those who are pagans, muslims, athiests, and others who regularly fell...

It is bad when Mr. Bothsiderist Chuck Todd is spilling the beans on what Trump and Republicans are up to with the government shutdown and tonight’s Trump broadcast.  No transcript on this, but Todd brought this up on his show and All In With Chris Hayes: Trump has no serious plan...

I do not have the transcript, but I was listening to AM Joy this morning.  And she and her panel brought up the false equivalency the Media finds between Republican scandals and Democratic “scandals.” In other words, the Hillary Clinton emails.   I think most here can agree that the Media...

Chuck Todd and his panelists — George Will for one — cannot answer a rather obvious question:  why doesn’t Kavanaugh ask for an FBI investigation of Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations?  Todd and the rest step right up to the precipice, but they only glance over the edge and say, “Dunno.” ...

In the Age of Trump, the tidal wave of major news stories is often overwhelming, sometimes drowning even the most informed in a state of cognitive shutdown. Occasionally, though, even seemingly unrelated revelations tell a larger tale whose lessons shouldn’t go unnoticed. So it was this week. As John McCain...

Don’t know what to make of this, and it could be nothing, but for what it’s worth.
