Among the criticisms most often leveled at Donald Trump is that he has been a negligent president who spends the bulk of his time on self-serving trivialities like golf, Twitter, and watching Fox News. As it turns out, that may be an unfair analysis. Trump isn't nearly as lazy as the past three and half…

CNN is Confused About Trump's FDA Chief – But Not Really
Right now there are two stories, one above the other, on the interview FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn gave CNN this morning: When the President's own medical advisers refuse to correct his misleading claim, the coronavirus trust gap grows and FDA commissioner refuses to defend Trump claim that 99% of Covid-19 cases are 'harmless' The…
HUH? Trump Celebrates Fox News Ratings, the Network He Keeps Saying is 'TERRIBLE'
Apparently the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is over. And the nation is no longer in recession. And the 40 million unemployed Americans have all gone back to work. And there is no more civil unrest in the streets due to systemic racism. And Russia has revoked their bounties on American soldiers in Afghanistan. This is what…
'He would have been briefed instantaneously': WH veteran slams Trump's comical BountyGate denials
David Gergen, who you probably know as an analyst for CNN, also served as an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. So he knows how a (functional, anyway) administration operates. And he’s calling extreeeeeeme bullshit on the Trump administration’s new claim that Donald Trump and Mike Pence were never briefed…
CNN Points Out That Trump Approval Ratings Unlikely To Go Up Dramatically By The Election.
Harry Enten of CNN has an article on how history is against any dramatic rise in Trump’s approval ratings by election time. Presidential approval ratings, however, haven’t historically moved much from June of an election year to Election Day. It seems quite likely at this point that Trump’s approval rating is going to be south…
close to the zenith of Trump derangement: Your enthusiasm is being dampened
With the latest CNN poll showing Trump nationally behind Biden by 14 points, Philip Bump does an interesting take on Trump’s need to believe his ultimate victory on the way to his bunker. Trump now has a personal pollster who is committed to telling his client what he wants to hear. Please proceed, IMPOTUS*. Trump’s…
White House adviser says Trump's racist tweets were meant to 'deescalate' violence
Remember this horrible, horrible pig-feces-lagoon of a tweet from three days ago in which the actual president of the United States suggested protesters should be shot by the police and/or the government because, unlike the protesters carrying assault weapons to state capitols to fight for their right to eat an entire Chili’s Awesome Blossom in one…
Child president storms away from press conference after he's challenged by two women reporters
So this was fun. Today, after a press conference where an “America Leads the World in Testing” banner hung in plain view — presumably to advertise our 39th-place world ranking in tests per million population — Donald Trump fielded questions with all the aplomb of a leaky bowel during a pepper eating contest. Two of his biggest nemeses,…
Time Warner has ordered Cease and Desist letter to Trump campaign on misleading Ad.
Well it is about time. The orange man only understands lawyers and lawsuit threats. CNN has had enough and it shows. Now it is getting legal. Someone should do something about All day and night propaganda coming from Faux that is killing many by propping up dangerous info in the form of news. CNN sends…

I've started a new media newsletter, Press Run, to help hold the press accountable
Because now more than ever. Press Run is my proudly progressive dissection of the political press. And in this crucial election year, I feel like it's more important than ever.

Murkowski Now Blames Elizabeth Warren For Her Craven Votes.
That really “divisive” question that Elizabeth Warren asked of Chief Justice John Roberts during this sham trial of Trump was responsible for Lisa Murkowski’s vote to not hear witnesses. Really. This is the BS that CNN is pushing. To recap what Warren asked of his Supremeness: “At a time when large majorities of Americans have…
A look back at the impeachment and conviction of Barack Obama
As President Trump’s legal team wrapped up its impeachment defense on Tuesday, all eyes turned to the issue of witnesses. But whether or not the mounting revelations surrounding former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s upcoming book are sufficient to spur Republican defections in the Senate, there is little doubt Donald Trump will be acquitted by…
Senators given flashcards with pithy, reporter-avoiding responses
Okay, “responses” may be overstating it. These are more like mantras a cult leader might give you. x Senators have been given a flashcard with suggested phrases to use to avoid reporters, per @caitlinconant and @Grace_Segers https://t.co/RVocWmrgq5 pic.twitter.com/1ANboUSVvB— Melissa Quinn (@MelissaQuinn97) January 16, 2020 In case you can’t read those, here they are, in all…
Tucker Carlson simply can't imagine doing this thing that Fox News does every day
I imagine after Tucker Carlson sticks his head up his own asshole, he immediately seeks out another asshole in which to wedge said head in order to avoid the next round of dispatches from the world’s enormous and growing population of non-asshole-denizens. So what you have is Tucker Carlson’s head and an infinite regression of…
CNN has yet another GOP problem
Last winter, CNN for weeks stood by its extraordinary and inexplicable decision to hire Sarah Isgur Flores, a career Republican Party operative with absolutely no journalism experience, to be the network’s political editor. A hardcore partisan, Isgur spent her career spinning for Republicans such as Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, and Carly Fiorina. Until last year, Isgur…
The press doesn't have—or won't use—the proper language to describe today's radical Republican Party
Extreme times call for extreme measures, but the Beltway press just isn't willing to make that move in the Trump era. As a consequence, the news media fail to accurately capture the radical changes now underway in the country, and how today's Republican Party has become purposefully untethered from reality. Donald Trump remains a resolutely…
