Today's my last day at CNN,” Harwood said in a tweet posted Friday. *snip* Last month, CNN canceled its weekly “Reliable Sources” media analysis show after three decades on the air, and host Brian Stelter left the network. The show appeared to be an early casualty in CNN’s effort to be less confrontational politically — a priority of Chris Licht, who became the network’s chairman and CEO in the spring, and his boss, David Zaslav, head of the Warner Bros. Discovery parent company. *snip* About two hours before Harwood announced he was leaving CNN, he was on-air discussing President Joe...

VIDEOJohn Harwood was finally FIRED by CNN on Friday but what took so long? We have known at least since Wikileaks revealed in 2016 that he is a complete tool of the Democrats as could be seen in his incredible suck-up emails with Clinton campaign manager John Podesta. Here is a compilation of just a small sampling of John Harwood clips that reveals what a completely unprofessional poison toad he is.

Joe Biden is no more or less capable a president than he was two months ago. His staff is no more or less competent. But suddenly, images of Biden as a feeble septuagenarian atop a mismanaged White House have given way to those of an experienced leader, smiling behind aviator sunglasses, whose battle-tested team has delivered on a range of national priorities. A winning streak does that for you. It has not happened because of a strategy shift or staff shakeup, though at low points allies wanted him to take those ritual steps. It’s been a combination of good luck,...

There's just not much President Joe Biden can do about it. There's not much he can do to curb inflation. There's not much he can do to stop migrants from reaching America's southern border. Or to reduce crime, or to make vaccine resisters get shots that would hasten the end of the coronavirus pandemic. There's not much he can do to compel cooperation from defectors within his thin Democratic congressional majorities. There is nothing at all he can do to compel it from Republican adversaries who would rather aggravate than alleviate his burdens. In other words, there's not much Biden...

CNN's John Harwood could be the biggest pro-Biden hack in the liberal media. Appearing on New Day, Harwood dismissed the significance of the Justice Department's investigation of Hunter Biden: "Until you make...a nexus between what Hunter Biden has done, and official activities of Vice President Biden or President Biden, it's a not pretty picture, but it's really not of much public import...But so far, there is zero evidence that Vice President Biden or President Biden has done anything wrong in connection with what Hunter Biden's done." Harwood also tried to invoke sympathy for Hunter, saying he's had a "difficult life."...

In the liberal media's Biden-Sycophant Sweepstakes, it would be hard to top CNN's John Harwood. In addition to calling him a shameless "sycophant," we recently described Harwood as a Biden "lackey, lickspittle, and toady." But MSNBC's Jeremy Bash has staked his own claim to the dubious distinction of being the MSM's biggest Biden suck-up, heaping absurd praise on Biden for his handling of Ukraine. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

CNN's John Harwood is a shameless Biden sycophant. Harwood was back on New Day Friday morning. And predictably, he defended Biden's pitiful press conference performance. Harwood's shameless sycophancy was on display in the screencap: "Harwood: Pundits Got Biden's News Conference Wrong." In particular, Harwood justified Biden having questioned the legitimacy of the midterm elections, and his comment that a "minor incursion" into Ukraine ordered by Putin might not merit a full-blown US response.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

James Joyce’s Ulysses was first published in 1922, just over two weeks after the British handed over the keys of Dublin Castle to Michael Collins and his new Irish government. The other great literary event of that year was TS Eliot’s The Waste Land. Joyce’s novel had much in common with Eliot’s long poem — it dealt with the rawness of urban life using competing narrative forms, including pastiche and myth and different kinds of voices. The Waste Land sounded a sort of death knell for the narrative poem, just as Ulysses set about killing off the single-perspective, the all-knowing...

Lackey. Lickspittle. Toady. Sycophant. Take your pick: when it comes to defending Joe Biden, they all fit CNN's John Harwood. In the wake of President Biden shirking responsibility for COVID in a conference call with governors yesterday, there was Harwood on this morning's New Day downplaying and 'splaining away the president's punt on the pandemic. Harwood popped up to play defensive MVP for Biden, probably doing cleanup for Biden's minders: "I think that was a throwaway line from Biden . . . I don't think he was actually signaling it's not my job anymore, it's your job . . ....

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 White House correspondent John Harwood said President Trump's reelection strategy is to use his fixation on race to rile up white voters about "black and brown people" in the United States. LEMON: The president is downplaying the pandemic as some kids with sniffles and rambling about race and black people thanking him and on and on. I would like to know who those black people are. But, why? Why is he doing this? JOHN HARWOOD, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Don, the president is fixated on two distinct ideas. One is that he had this strong economy that was going...

CNN White House correspondent John Harwood called President Donald Trump psychologically damaged Thursday after the president railed against his detractors. “This was a very disturbing tableau for the country,” Harwood said after the president’s remarks addressing the Senate’s vote to acquit Trump. . . . He added: “It was dark because he’s made clear that his mind is dark. This is somebody in deep psychological distress right now.

John Harwood, formerly of CNBC, kicked off his new start at CNN on a very humiliating downslope so severe that he had to delete his own embarrassing tweet due to the mocking blowback he received. How bad was it? So bad that Harwood reached back almost 160 years in history to compare the senators voting against more witnesses during the Trump impeachment trial to the old Confederacy. Although Harwood might think his February 1 tweet might have disappeared down the memory hole, nothing on the web is ever permanently gone and his absurd words will live on for all eternity:

CNBC's John Harwood, best known for his extreme bias against Republican and conservatives and in favor of Democrats, has let his Trump Derangement Syndrome get the better of him in the form of tweeting displeasure over the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Like many Democrats, Harwood was outraged that Trump went around members of Congress, even though that's what a commander-in-chief can do. How many of Obama's scandalous actions went right around the Republican Congress?

Presidents who seek reelection usually win. So Las Vegas oddsmakers, despite President Donald Trump’s low-40s approval ratings, still rate him even money for another term. Wall Street expects him to win next year. But a look at state-by-state data clarifies the scale of Trump’s challenge. As the president tries to rally supporters at a 2020 kickoff rally in Orlando on Tuesday, he is fighting from behind. A new Quinnipiac University poll of Florida showed the president trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by nine percentage points, 50%-41%, in their potential matchup for that state’s 29 electoral votes. Trump also trailed...

Throughout the 2016 campaign and since, the president and his party have vowed to kick-start tepid Obama-era economic growth. New government data show that Trump, too, has failed to reach the 3 percent promised land, according to one major metric. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis measured 2018 growth at 2.9 percent, matching the peak Obama enjoyed in 2015. For the rest of the president’s term, economic forecasters agree, that number will decline.

Put this into the category of delusional thinking... CNBC chief Washington Correspondent John Harwood with a well-known antipathy towards Republicans and President Donald Trump stated on Sunday on the MSNBC Weekends with Alex Witt that via what he claims he was told by a No Labels founder that it is possible that the Senate could convict Trump on impeachment charges. That would mean that even if every Democrat voted to convict, they would still need 20 Republicans to vote that way for the requisite two-thirds of the Senate.Mark that up to a personal fantasy of Harwood especially considering and it is hard...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) fended off Democrat challenger Robert Francis O’Rourke to win re-election in a high-profile Senate race Tuesday, but establishment media pundits, Hollywood celebrities, and liberal activists did not lose hope — they had now moved on to dreams of “Beto 2020.” Cruz finished a surprising second in the 2016 Republican presidential primary and began the Senate race as a prohibitive favorite. However, O’Rourke visited fiercely conservative parts of the state that his party had long since given up on, while shattering fundraising records despite shunning donations from outside political groups and pollster advice. Cruz argued that his...

President Donald Trump's late campaign blitz targeting immigrants has rallied the Republican base of white working-class voters, helping to curb the Democratic advantage heading into Tuesday's midterm elections for Congress. The election-eve NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Democrats leading by seven percentage points, 50 percent to 43 percent, among likely voters. That's down from a nine-percentage point lead last month. That slightly narrowing reflects rising interest in the election from the foundation of Trump's support: White men, especially older, less educated, less affluent ones in small towns and rural areas. Most noteworthy for a mid-term election, the 2018 campaign...

The new NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey, taken six weeks before Americans head to the polls, shows Democrats leading Republicans by 52 percent to 40 percent for control of Congress. If it holds, that 12 percentage point margin would suggest a "blue wave" large enough to switch control of not just the House but also the Senate.
