California Governor Gavin Newsom must respond in court Wednesday to explain the “science and data” behind his decision to close Orange County beaches. The closures were a result of science all right. Political science. In a fit of pique, Nancy Pelosi’s nephew shut down all 43 miles of Orange County beaches when he fell for

In this time without live sports, the country has been looking for anything possible to fill that void. Similarly, sports media has been looking to find new ways to fill air time. One of the largest ways they have been doing this is by releasing new documentaries, such as ESPN’s The Last Dance.  This 10-part

Governor Gavin Newsom held his weekday presser on Monday to bring all listeners up to speed on how we’re beating the Wuhan virus. It was more notable for what Newsom wasn’t asked than what he was. Not one reporter asked California Governor Gavin Newsom at his coronavirus hearing on Monday why he sent state troopers

Just four days after the broadcast network evening newscasts finally covered the rape allegation against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden for the first time, after ignoring it for over a month, ABC, CBS, and NBC had had enough. During their Monday evening newscasts, none of them ran stories on the subject despite developments still breaking over

It’s hard not shake your head at California officials asking the Trump administration for help after illegal aliens with coronavirus began spilling into hospitals on the US side. Avoiding disease as well as the social and literal costs of supporting millions of noncitizens are among the chief reasons why President Trump won the election and

Liberal billionaire Warren Buffett apparently doesn’t believe that the coronavirus will cripple the might of the U.S. economy in the long-run. A prominent liberal business figure like Buffett voicing such sentiments provides ammunition to President Donald Trump, who also predicted that the economy is “going to make a very strong comeback.” Buffett stated during a

Appearing on Justice with Judge Jeanine on Saturday night, Dr. Debora Birx admitted something that anyone paying attention to the coronavirus pandemic has known for some time now. “I think we underestimated very early on the number of asymptomatic cases,” Dr. Birx said. “And I think we’re really beginning to understand there are people that get

To many, the word Hollywood evokes glamour and dreams of stardom. Perhaps no time in history was that more true than the late 1940s. But the city that birthed silent movies and talkies also had a seedy underbelly. Prostitution rings. Abusive agents, casting directors and motion picture moguls. Mob rackets. Netflix’s new original, Hollywood, which

On Sunday, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez compared presumptive nominee Joe Biden’s Senate documents to the emails former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton kept on a private email server, insisting that there’s no “there” there so stop asking to see the actual documents, okay?! Martha Raddatz, anchor of ABC News’s This Week, noted that Biden

During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel leveled the media by calling out their hypocrisy in blacking out the rape accusation against Joe Biden, while they had tried to eviscerate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The rebuke was so potent that fill-in host Martha Raddatz appeared unable to make eye contact

The World Health Organization, which worked hand in hand with China to spread disinformation about the coronavirus, says that it’s not its fault if a million people will die because the WHO gave the world “enough time to intervene.” The WHO’s logic is impeccable. Apparently, its leaders think because they declared a “Global Health Emergency”

Susan Page of USA Today joined The 11th Hour host Brian Williams on MSNBC Friday night to discuss the allegations of sexual harassment and assault surrounding Joe Biden and argued that it is a “great unfairness” that Biden is hurt more by such allegations than President Trump because, unlike Trump, Biden is running as a “decent human being.”  After

On Friday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) condemned a Washington Post fact-check video as “CCP propaganda,” covering for the Chinese Communist Party by taking its claims at face value. The video claimed that the best evidence suggests the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic came from nature, even though the facts in the video itself arguably presented

CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter is the poster anchor for the Heads I Win, Tails You Lose game on the White House briefings. It’s a scandal when they don’t have any, and it’s a scandal when they do. But CNN’s Don Lemon can really argue both sides of the Trump-bashing argument, as a couple

Friday brought protests peppered across the fruited plains, from coast to coast, to voice opposition to the continued closure of small businesses. After all, Walmart and Lowe’s are the new hang out spots and are always crowded and police have not tried to shut them down since the state has deemed them “essential.” But why

On Friday afternoon’s edition of The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino, former DNC boss and Fox News contributor Donna Brazile labored aerobically to avoid saying she believed (or didn believe) Tara Reade’s allegation of sexual assault by Joe Biden in 1993. Perino picked up the line of questioning from (fellow) former Bush press secretary Ari

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker amended his stay-at-home orders to now include the “exercise of religion” as an essential activity. The governor’s action comes a day after a Rockford-area church filed a federal lawsuit saying that the governor’s order violated the free exercise of religion and that his extension of the stay-at-home order was unconstitutional. Other

It finally happened. A liberal outlet got around to saying this was President Donald Trump’s economy, but only because it’s being wrecked by the Wuhan coronavirus. In an April 29, Politico Playbook PM newsletter, which aggregates top headlines, Politico had this disgusting headline take the #2 spot in its list written in all caps: “PRESIDENT

Update below. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing as the legislature considered a measure to extend Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s state of emergency declaration. The House of Representatives voted down an extension of the order, but Whitmer claimed she has broad authority to continue the lockdown regardless. This response only adds

Finally, the evening newscasts of ABC and CBS broke their silence on the rape accusation against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. While their respective morning newscasts had already covered the topic, Thursday night was the first time NBC News had dared to give it airtime. The contrast was stark in how they covered the accusations

The Age highlights studies showing that children are not coronavirus vectors. Major studies into the impact of COVID-19 on young children suggest they “do not play a significant role” in spreading the virus and are less likely to become infected than adults. Based on this news, Switzerland has announced young kids can hug their grandparents

While Wednesday’s CBS Evening News was the only broadcast newscast to report on the stock market’s rally following a breakthrough with coronavirus-fighting drug Remdesivir, they threw cold water on anyone who dared to have hopeful thoughts about the economy improving. “But even as the market rises, the economy is in a tailspin,” declared anchor Norah O’Donnell.

What kind of civil rights nonprofit has millions of dollars in offshore accounts? According to recent reports, the scandal-plagued Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) does, and that’s just scratching the surface of its problems. The SPLC recently published its updated “hate map” plotting “hate groups” across America, right as Americans are fearing for their lives

Disturbing and authoritarian tendencies were on full display during Wednesday’s NBC Nightly News, as anchor Lester Holt and reporter Gabe Gutierrez decried a gathering of mourning orthodox Jews in New York City recently. And despite cries of anti-Semitism against Mayor Bill de Blasio, the network suggested state and local governments had the “moral authority” to

In the final hours leading up to the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill passing the U.S. Senate, Republicans warned that an unemployment provision could create a perverse incentive. In many cases, the CARES Act would pay workers more on unemployment than they made when they had jobs, thus incentivizing people not to return to work. Sen.

Oh look, it’s Jimmy Kimmel belittling the Vice President as a dog, again. The late-night ABC “comedian” joined the rest of the media in expressing over-the-top outrage at Mike Pence not wearing a mask while visiting the Mayo Clinic, Tuesday. While all the late-night hosts made digs at Pence for that decision, Kimmel was the

Ultraviolet light is currently being used to clean medical instruments and lab paraphernalia and, as President Trump mentioned last week, researchers are looking into using that part of the light spectrum to kill the coronavirus inside the body. Naturally, in their zeal to purposely misunderstand and misinterpret the president they began, like the flying monkeys

It was one of the most predictable developments on the Democratic side of the 2020 presidential election: two-time presidential flunky Hillary Clinton endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden. But that didn’t stop ABC’s World News Tonight from fangirling Tuesday and declaring it “another big milestone” for the campaign. At the same time, ABC News and

Turnabout is always fair play. As a new narrative spins up about the political price President Trump needs to pay for COVID-19 related deaths, I have a different question. What price should the corporate media play for preventable non-COVID-19 related deaths among those who are too scared to seek care because of the panic they

Morning Joe regular Jon Meacham tends to be cast as the somewhat nerdy, pointy-headed professor, above the partisan fray. (Beats being described as the editor who flew Newsweek into the ground with Tina Brown.) Scarborough regularly teases him about the seven causes of the War of 1812, etc. In fact, under his scholarly guise, Meacham
