NBC News pulls the plug on Shitstorm Ronna
The welcome announcement arrived at dinnertime, and it was good for digestion. Top NBC executive Cesar Conde ate crow: "Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor...I approved (the hire) and I take full responsibility for it." Then he tried to explain: "Our...
NBC News pulls the plug on Shitstorm Ronna
The welcome announcement arrived at dinnertime, and it was good for digestion. Top NBC executive Cesar Conde ate crow: "Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor...I approved (the hire) and I take full responsibility for it." Then he tried to explain: "Our...
NBC’s “balance”: On the one hand, facts and truth. On the other hand, coup creature Ronna McDaniel.
We all remember how Trump's insurrectionists smeared feces on the Capitol walls. Your basic goon behavior. But who among us could ever have imagined, three years hence, that a mainstream news network would soil itself in a similar fashion? I'm referring, of course, to...
“The American people have been lied to by Donald Trump…I found zero proof of the Bidens’ criminality.”
How delicious it is to sniff the smoking wreckage of the House GOP's fake impeachment probe. For starters, we learned last month that the MAGA sleuths' star witness against Joe Biden, a grifter named Alexander Smirnov, created "a false fictitious record" (according to...
The aspiring fascist’s “bloodbath” comment, in the context of the last nine years

This week in media overload: Let’s recap the latest hailstorm of horrors!

A female Republican’s most thankless job: Defending a crotch-grabbing rapist.
There are lots of thankless odious jobs in America - sanitation worker, septic tank repairman - but surely none are worse than cleaning up Donald Trump's serial excrement. That goes double for his top female acolytes, who are tasked with defending a thrice-married...
For MAGA, Katie Britt is the perfect fit: Woman in the kitchen, cooking an indigestible lie.
If you haven't had a chance to catch Katie Britt's fake emotional mishmash - her failed audition for an eighth grade production of The Stepford Wives - you're in for a treat. But if your time is too precious to waste on the junior Republican senator from Alabama, I...
GUEST COLUMN: A dream scenario for the ’24 Democratic ticket! (A guy can always dream.)
By Chris Satullo I have something to propose. In all likelihood, you've been thinking something along the same lines, though your specific names and clever twists may vary. Even my older sibling, who usually leaves the political punditry to his kid brother,...
