The House approved a measure late Tuesday that would slash Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's taxpayer-funded government salary to just $1. The bill - which was introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. - was passed via voice vote Tuesday as an amendment to the 2024 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, the standalone funding bill for the General Services Administration, Securities and Exchange Commission and other related agencies. "I’m proud to announce my amendment to FIRE Pete Buttigieg just PASSED the House. Pothole Pete staged fake bike rides to the White House and used private planes funded by taxpayers...

A producer for the left wing ‘Daily Show’ has accused NBC’s Chuck Todd of being a secret agent for Republicans. This is laughable. Conservatives have been complaining about media bias from Chuck Todd for years, he is one of the worst left wing hacks on TV. FOX News reports: NBC’s Chuck Todd trends on Twitter after Daily Show producer claims he is a ‘Republican plant’ NBC anchor Chuck Todd trended on Twitter after a Daily Show producer accused him of being a “Republican plant” on Sunday night.

News veterans Shepard Smith, Steve Kornacki and Joy Reid are all on the shortlist to take over Chris Matthews’ abruptly vacated seat on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” sources told The Post.

VIDEO Chris Matthews resigned on the air on Monday night from his MSNBC Hardball gig due to a bit too much public drooling over women. Here we see Chris resign while drooling over a female reporter.

Those few people watching “Hardball” on MSNBC were treated to a surprise announcement — the episode they were watching had been the last, and host Chris Matthews says he’s retiring.

VIDEO Right now in 2020, much of the media is showing incredible love for Mitt Romney. Why? Because he was the only Republican in the Senate to vote to convict President Trump during the impeachment trial. However, contrast this new found love for Romney to the disdain and hate they had for him in 2012 when he ran against their Obama Messiah. In this video we take a look at the laughably contradictory views taken by MSNBCers Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Joe Scarborough towards Romney in the years 2020 versus 2012. It seems that if you oppose Trump,...

President Donald Trump appears to be on easy street when it comes to his potential re-election. In fact, his chances are so good that even liberal talking-head Chris Matthews was forced to admit that the president is sitting pretty leading up to November. During MSNBC’s day-long coverage of the impeachment trial, the “Hardball” host decided to take a moment to “put it all together” for the audience. Unfortunately, it may not be what the left-leaning group of listeners wants to hear. First, Matthews pointed out the increasing popularity of self-avowed Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, who was recently involved in a...

President Trump has broken the press in America. Or at least he has left it bruised and battered, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center, which crunched reams of data collected from 50 surveys and found that while Democrats continue to have faith in American media, Mr. Trump’s followers are quite done with it all. The findings were released just days after the press received its latest black eye in the inspector general’s report looking at the FBI’s behavior during its investigation into Mr. Trump. The inspector general thoroughly punctured journalists who insisted that the Christopher Steele dossier...

Wallace said, “I believe that President Trump is engaged in the most direct, sustained assault on freedom of the press in our history.”

After me, the deluge" (après moi, le déluge) -- popularly attributed to Louis XV Look for Chris Matthews to start calling her "Louie." The Hardball host was as roiled as Robespierre today at Hillary Clinton's threat to take the Dem party down in a convention credentials fight over the seating of the Florida and Michigan delegates. In the course of an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News yesterday, Clinton made clear her intention to take things to a floor fight if necessary, and went so far as to pre-emptively undermine Barack Obama's legitimacy as a candidate if he...

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) suffered a verbal slip-up, referring to “flags” as “fags” before quickly correcting herself in a live interview following Wednesday’s Democrat presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia. “This guy just you know again, goes for the photo-op, you remember all of these fags — flags — that looked almost fake” Harris told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, referring to President Trump’s meetings with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore and Hanoi Summit, Vietnam.

“Why do Shannon Bream and Fox News waste airtime on Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, who recently left the Presidential Primaries having attained a grand number of ZERO in the polls,” Trump wrote on Twitter. Swalwell, who was recently the subject of a “fart-gate” controversy during an MSNBC interview with Chris Matthews, appeared on Bream’s show in the 11:00 p.m. hour on Wednesday night to talk about the case for impeaching President Trump “I don’t even know how that is possible,” Trump commented. “Fox should stay with the people that got them there, not losers!”

Here’s a subject that no Democratic lawmakers will touch right now. The thinking is: Pence is implicated in Trump’s campaign to pressure Ukraine to reopen their investigation into Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. Although Pence never mentioned Biden’s name to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, he was after all, involved in communicating the delay of the U.S. aid and at the request of President Trump, he skipped Zelensky’s inauguration. Shouldn’t Pence be impeached too? A rather low bar for impeachment to be sure, but that’s all they’ve got right now. The media, on the other hand, has no such reservations. The...

On Thursday night, it appeared as though MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was tired from the long hours covering the 2020 Democratic presidential debates as he observed #TBT with riffs about how Barack Obama and his rise are “still thrilling to me” even though “[t]he only thing I've ever had against Obama is when he recedes from us” because “I want him back.”During his A-block panel recapping the debates, Matthews declared that he wanted to talk about “the historic nature of Barack Obama running in '08 and ‘12 was so dramatic, I can understand why people who — of color who don't normally vote, think it's all...

Former Congresswoman Donna Edwards told Chris Matthews tonight that President Donald Trump is engaging in rhetoric from “the Nazi playbook,” after he said Trump’s rhetoric is “Hitlerian.” Matthews showed the clip of Fox News’ Chris Wallace telling Mick Mulvaney that the use of words like “infested” “sounds like vermin” and “sub-human.” He said the use of such rhetoric aimed at Congress members of color shows a pattern. After praising Wallace, Matthews said, “‘Infested.’ It’s ‘vermin.’ It’s a Hitlerian term… He’s obsessed with this thing about cities.”

Al Sharpton in reality is America's biggest racist

Without their media dominance, Democrats would have a hard time winning national elections. Their ability to flood the media space with propaganda can even persuade the public to accept untruths, such as the lie that Trump coordinated with Russia — even in the face of the Mueller Report debunking that assertion. But there is a downside to media dominance, especially when accompanied by dominance of academia and cultural institutions. With all the "important" voices singing from the same hymnal, it is too easy to dismiss contrary views, even when those views are held by people necessary to Democrats' victories ......
