Because what could be a more unifying message than telling your political opponents that their "garbage stinks so bad?" Yet that was the way that CNN's John Harwood interpreted the speech that Joe Biden made yesterday after the Electoral College vote. Appearing on Tuesday's New Day, Harwood said: "What I heard from Joe Biden was twofold. One, a bit of the same message that he'd been communicating for several weeks, which is one of unity, and trying to calm the passions of the election. "But also a bit of impatience creeping in. You know, we're now well over a month...

CNN getting bored by all the shopworn Trump/Hitler analogies? Searching for a new metaphor with which to attack the president? On this morning's New Day, co-host John Berman strained logic and analogy beyond the breaking point by claiming that in joining the Texas lawsuit challenging election results in other states, President Trump has somehow made himself . . . the equivalent of the secessionist slave states in the Civil War!Get the rest of the story and view the video.

Ward got a sample of 100 ballots and a sample of 200 signatures from a judge in Arizona. An examination of the 100 ballots found that 1 for Trump was not counted and another for Trump was counted as being for Biden.

Opening the show with an emotional statement [see screencap] worthy of the most partisan Democrat, Berman claimed that after Joe Biden called for unity: "The response from the outgoing president? No. The response from the administration? Hell no. The response from Republican leaders in Congress? F no." Get...

A federal judge in Denver today left it up to Colorado voters to decide on Election Day whether to change the way the state distributes its electoral votes for president. U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock dismissed a lawsuit that challenged a proposal on next week's ballot that would alter the Electoral College system in Colorado. He said that it is state issue and not a federal one, and that he lacked jurisdiction. The measure, Amendment 36, would scrap Colorado's winner-take-all system for distributing its nine Electoral College votes. Instead, presidential candidates a would be awarded a share of the electoral...
