MSNBC Celebrates Biden's 'Diverse' First Judge Picks as a 'Counterpoint,' Ideology Ignored
Newsbusters.org ^ | 3/31/2021 | Alex Christy

MSNBC's shows may have undergone a name change, but Tuesday's edition of Stephanie Ruhle Reports presented the same left-wing bias as before. As President Biden named his first batch of judicial appointments, Ruhle and White House correspondent Kristen Welker marveled how, unlike Trump's judicial nominees, they aren't white males. Their diversity was all that mattered, and their ideology wasn't worth questioning.

Ruhle began by wondering, "Kristen, while I have you, one of former President Trump's, for conservatives, 'biggest wins' [quote fingers used] were all of the judges he put on the bench. I know President Biden just announced his first round of judicial nominees. What did you learn?"

Ketanji Brown Jackson was on President Obama's list to replace the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court, and given Biden's promise to nominate a black woman, is widely seen as a likely candidate to fill a potential vacancy.

There wasn't time for a discussion of her record, such that time she issued an injunction so ludicrous against the Trump Administration's deportation process, even liberals on the DC Circuit reversed her ruling. Or when a diverse DC Circuit ruled that she did not have jurisdiction to nullify key parts of a Trump executive order that would have made it easier to fire low-performing federal employees. Jackson was celebrated by liberal outlets for a "brutal takedown" when she insisted White House lawyer Don McGahn had to testify in the first Trump impeachment inquiry, because "presidents are not kings."

It is time that Senate Republicans stop fighting fair (not that they ever fought). Every single one of Biden's appointees need to their character's destroyed. Make things up. Ridicule. Abuse. Destroy. Make it that no one will want to be nominated.

Use leftists' weapons against them.

Merit no longer matters. Just race or sexual orientation.

I bet bet they had all sexually assaulted someone back in high school.

It is important that we look.

Democrats now officially live in a world of judging a book by its cover and encouraging all to do likewise. They have no idea of the substance or lack of substance therein but if the library is filled with pretty covers, it must be a good library. I hate 24/7 identity politics.It is as dumb and vile as the people practicing it.

The people who own and produce the content on MSNBC are socialistic globalists. They have absolutely no regard or respect for the American nation, its culture, history or heritage. They have no real concern for the American people, their rights or liberties. They are the enemy of America.They one day must be brought to justice and held accountable for their crimes.

That’s the game, and they set the rules.
The problem is that the media will defame anyone who challenges one.

The first targets need to be journalists. After a few careers down the tubes, the rest will get the idea.

“unlike Trump’s judicial nominees, they aren’t white males”
That’s funny considering 28% of Trump’s judicial appointees are women and 16% are minorities.

Diversity is a trojan horse to put commies on the bench.

Any criticism of these candidates will be called racist.

Media will be screaming racist so loud your eardrums will hurt.

The journalists are protected by their media employers. They are doing what they are paid to do. They wont be fired. They will be rewarded.

The target should be the LEFTIST media channels. Many receive a significant portion of their revenue from cable subscriber fees. CNN receives half of its revenue from cable subscriber fees. If they are in the basic bundle, they get paid whether you watch or not.

Cut cable tv to defund the LEFTIST media.

Their anti-Americanism was all that mattered, and their "diversity" is merely window dressing.

Journalists are a dime a dozen—that’s partly the problem; the ones with experience and integrity have already gotten the bum’s rush and been replaced by the preening climbers who will say or do anything to get their mug on air. Many more wait in the wings for their turn.

Fortunately they’re cavalier attitudes over truth and morality probably carry over to their personal life. Anonymous tips and sources are always legitimate if the allegation is sensational enough, especially if it’s likely true to begin with. Their employers are not going to let their reputations be sullied over some dime-a-dozen journalist’s alleged indiscretions. There are thousands waiting to take their spot.

They’re the low hanging fruit. They’re the least protected and the most exposed. They have very little to retaliate with.
