MSNBC contributor Anand Giridharadas on Thursday said that President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers were making “sure the pandemic kills as many people as possible” by not agreeing to pass a coronavirus pandemic stimulus package.

Princeton University professor and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude, Jr. said Thursday on “Deadline” that there was a “moral rot” in America and added that President Donald Trump was its “avatar.”

MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch on Thursday’s broadcast of “Deadline,” declared that the supporters of President Donald Trump were “50 million jerks” who do not care about Americans dying in the pandemic. He pointed to a sign he saw during footage of the Trump event in Valdosta, GA to back up his point.

Note to MSNBC's Kasie Hunt: perhaps you might want to check your own tweets for self-contradictions before you post them. Such was the case on Friday when Hunt foolishly tweeted that Joe Biden stonewalled on a question about if he had talked to Mitch McConnell and in the very next sentence praised Biden for his supposed honesty. The inevitable smackdown was both brutal as well as hilarious. Among the most cutting of the responses came from Glenn Greenwald who pointed out just how honest Biden really is.

Thursday night’s ReidOut featured one of the ugliest news segments one will ever see. Over the course of eight-plus minutes, MSNBC host Joy Reid and far-left race-hustler Michael Eric Dyson viciously condemned Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as a “racist,” “terrorist,” ventriloquist (or “geppetto”) controlling black Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron (R), and worshipper at “the altar of whiteness” who “doesn’t give a damn” about those in poverty. Dyson was spoiling for a fight from the get-go, denouncing McConnell as “tone deaf” and “color blind in the worst sense of the fashion” because “[h]e refuses to acknowledge the persistence of...

MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said Thursday on “Morning Joe” that people who believe President Donald Trump are in a “cult” and should “get help from mental health providers.” Discussing the coronavirus pandemic, co-anchor Mika Brzezinski said, “The question is why others won’t lead to save the lives of the American people. Here we are at 274,000 deaths, and that is shocking because it is stupid that we’re here. It’s downright stupid.”

Does the left fear a 2024 run by President Trump? Looks that way, judging from this morning's AM Joy show on MSNBC, guest-hosted by Maria Teresa Kumar. The show devoted a segment to the possibility of Trump 2024. And in a pre-emptive strike on a possible run, the panel pleaded that the media shouldn't cover Trump, and that supporters shouldn't contribute to him.The segment began with a clip of Kamala Harris cackling past the graveyard, replying "oh, please" to a reporter's question as to whether she believes Biden-Harris could defeat Trump were he to run again. That segued into the...

Fox News revealed its true colors on election night. At least that’s the common narrative spoken in conservative circles. But the truth is more nefarious, more sinister. Fox News has been quietly working against President Trump and conservatives since shortly after his election. They just did it stealthily and attempted to shift their network and their formerly massive audience to the center. This is why they must be pushed even further. If there’s one thing we can say about CNN, MSNBC, and network news channels, it’s that we know the enemy well. There is no subterfuge in their ideology, no...

Three weeks ago FOX News was riding high. It’s ratings had never been higher thanks to Donald Trump and his supporters. Then the fraudulent election took place and FOX immediately disowned their audience. Trump supporters were no longer welcome. And if anyone dared to question the fraudulent election they were immediately mocked and sneered at. The latest ratings numbers were released today for the formerly Trump friendly network. And, OH MY GOSH! FOX NEWS CRASHED!!

They "shall suffer death." -- The first penalty mentioned in U.S. law for people guilty of treason. So, Joe Scarborough: what shall it be for President Trump and others you've suggested could be guilty of treason? Death, or one of the lesser penalties enumerated? Public executions, perhaps, on Inauguration Day? Wanna volunteer for the firing squad? On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough accused President Trump and his legal team, with the "silent approval" of Mitch McConnell, of attempting a "coup" to "overthrow the presidency" of Joe Biden....which hasn't been certified yet. Scarborough concluded his rant by melodramatically intoning: "None dare...

"God damn America!"—nuanced, yeah: like a punch in the nose! When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable, nothing's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was "taken out of context." To be sure, Jason Johnson trotted out that cliché while guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy Sunday morning in excusing Rev. Jeremiah Wright's infamous screaming "not God Bless America! God Damn America!" But give Eddie Glaude credit. The Princeton prof and frequent MSNBC guest came up with a somewhat more original excuse: critics of Wright's damnation of America fail to understand the reverend's "theological nuance." Right. There's "nuance" in...

In these coronavirus times, it's one thing to encourage people not to gather in large groups for Thanksgiving. But for such purposes, is it necessary to trash the most beloved holiday in America's secular calendar? Yes, apparently—if you had the misfortune of tuning into MSNBC's AM Joy this morning. Guest host Jason Johnson tipped off the trashing of Thanksgiving by saying: "I know in my family, I know several people who call it 'Colonizer Christmas,' because they don't really like the idea of what Thanksgiving represents."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Rachel Maddow reveals that the reason for her ongoing quarantine is that her partner, Susan, tested positive for Covid-19 and is still recovering from severe symptoms, and implores viewers to consider their loved ones when they calculate their own risk.

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" beat rival "Fox & Friends" in the morning cable news ratings for the first time since 2001 last week, AdWeek reported. "Morning Joe," hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, pulled in an average 1.6 million total viewers for the week versus 1.4 million for "Fox & Friends." The news comes amid amid a ratings slide for Fox News Channel in recent weeks after conservative viewers announced on social media platforms their displeasure with Fox coverage.

Richard Stengel, new ‘team lead‘ for Joe Biden’s agency for global media, wrote an op-ed last year arguing for free speech restrictions. Stengel, a former MSNBC political analyst until he was named to Biden’s transition team, argued that the First Amendment needed redefining and that “hate speech” should be a crime. “All speech is not equal. And where truth cannot drive out lies, we must add new guardrails,” he wrote. “I’m all for protecting ‘thought that we hate,’ but not speech that incites hate.” ‘Speech that incites hate’ was defined in Stengel’s op-ed by two examples – Burning the Quran,...

Joe Biden’s plan to surge refugee resettlement by over 700 percent to the United States is “what America needs to heal” after four years of President Trump, an MSNBC columnist writes. In “Biden’s refugee plan is what America needs to heal from Trump,” MSNBC columnist Hayes Brown writes Americans “need to make space” for a surge in refugees Biden has promised to bring to the U.S. "Massively increasing the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. has the benefit, then, of doing exactly that — marking an end to the U.S. government’s hostility to immigrants under Trump and showing the...

Democrat Joe Biden’s plan to surge refugee resettlement by over 700 percent to the United States is “what America needs to heal” after four years of President Trump, an MSNBC columnist writes. In a piece titled “Biden’s refugee plan is what America needs to heal from Trump,” MSNBC columnist Hayes Brown writes that Americans “need to make space” for a surge in refugees that the former vice president has promised to bring to the U.S. Brown writes:

Earlier this week, we wondered, "does the liberal media's bloodlust for President Trump know no bounds?" That was in response to Mika Brzezinksi calling for "law enforcement" to "come after" President Trump. MSNBC has now taken things a grotesque step further. Tiffany Cross guest-hosted the AM Joy show this morning. And for her, it wouldn't be enough for law enforcement to merely "come after" the president. Not even frog-marching would apparently satisfy her desire for vengeance. No, Cross, after asserting that we are in a "national security crisis," fantasized about President Trump being: "Dragged out on the White House lawn...

Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt on Thursday reacted to the “outrageous situation” that is President Donald Trump not conceding the 2020 presidential election results. The Trump campaign is currently engaged in legal battles in multiple states due to claims of voter fraud. During “MSNBC Live,” Schmidt said Trump’s refusal to concede the “fair election” immediately “is a coup of sorts.”

If Joy Reid were your architect, the bedroom ceiling would fall on your head the first time the wind blew. If Joy Reid were your plumber, the contents of your toilet would come spewing out your shower head. If Joy Reid were a pilot, a firefighter, or a police officer, we would no longer be discussing her, except in the past tense. But! Joy Reid is a television pundit, albeit one who toils for the hysterical conspiracy-theory factory known as MSNBC, and hence can never suffer any penalty for being factually inept: Hey, it’s only somebody talking. Did you make...
