It was no go for “Morning Joe.” MSNBC faced a technical nightmare early Tuesday leaving viewers more baffled than usual while waiting nearly 15 minutes for its flagship breakfast show, “Morning Joe.” Those tuning in at 6 a.m. were greeted with a shot of the Capitol building along with an extended play of The Who’s “Teenage Wasteland.” Viewers were then met with a series of internal promotions and commercials played on a confusing loop until around 6:07 a.m. Then, instead of the latest news, the station started playing a rerun of “Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” without any messages explaining...

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney revealed the two GOP presidential candidates he refuses to support under any circumstance in a “Person to Person” interview that aired on CBS News. Romney responded that he would support “anybody” except former President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy when asked by Norah O’Donnell if there was anybody he liked in the Republican field. “You know, I would uh, I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans. Maybe not Vivek. But uh, but the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and I’d be happy to vote for them,” Romney...

A longtime aide to President Joe Biden who is a senior adviser in Vice President Kamala Harris’ office is Biden’s choice to represent the United States at the United Nations agency devoted to education, science and culture. The U.S. recently rejoined the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization after a five-year hiatus initiated by Biden’s immediate predecessor in the White House, Donald Trump. The Democratic president’s choice to become the U.S. permanent representative to the Paris-based UNESCO, with the rank of ambassador, is longtime aide Courtney O’Donnell, according to a White House official, who spoke Monday on the condition of...

News anchor Norah O’Donnell’s salary was reportedly slashed by more than half at CBS Evening News as the struggling news program continues to make substantial budget and cost cuts, Radar has learned.According to The Post, CBS News re-signed the 48-year-old news anchor in April for a yearly salary of $3.8 million – which is a remarkably less sum than the $8 million she was previously making to host the evening news program. But while O’Donnell accepted the new pay package, an insider familiar with the negotiations revealed that CBS executives offered the anchor a “low ball” sum that they “expected...

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell decried the upper chamber of Congress as "anti-democratic" during his appearance Thursday on "The ReidOut." Host Joy Reid led to the topic of the Senate by discussing whether the United States is "governable" as a country based on "a system designed by European men who certainly never envisioned racial and gender equality or the kind of diversity that we have today or that anyone not like them would share power in this country."

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” host Lawrence O’Donnell argued that “Cuba’s problem is not too much socialism,” rather it’s that the country is too dictatorial and the dictators who have run the country are economically illiterate. O’Donnell said, “If the United States had been wise enough to remove the embargo 50 years ago, the Cuban dictatorship would have had no convenient excuse for the deprivations Cuba has suffered. Cuba’s agonies tonight are only partially assignable to the embargo and almost entirely the fault of 60 years of dictatorial government by economic illiterates. Cuba’s problem is not too...

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, on Tuesday’s “The Last Word,” said that 53% of Republicans failed “a basic mental competency test question,” which is who is the president of the United States” because they think Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Discussing new Texas election legislation, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said, “It’s very much a naked power grab. Also, if you look at the leadership in Texas, Lawrence, it very much is out of sync with the population of Texas. Texas is an incredibly diverse state, and the Republican leadership in Texas is not. It’s very sad to say, but I think...

MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said on his Monday show “The Last Word” that Democrats were abusing the reconciliation process to pass President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package. The Senate parliamentarian ruled Monday Democrats can use the reconciliation process for infrastructure, meaning it can pass with a simple-majority vote.

While Barbara Walters was on vacation in 2006, Rosie O’Donnell made comments about Donald Trump on the air that brought about a vigorous response from Trump against O’Donnell. It would result in a deep chasm of anger and resentment between O’Donnell and Walters, as The View creator wrote in her 2008 memoir, Audition. “While I was gone,” Walters wrote, “Rosie attacked Trump on the air, calling him a ‘snake oil salesman,’ making fun of his hairstyle, and saying, among other things, that he had declared bankruptcy. I knew that was incorrect because in the past I had interviewed Trump on...

Two things are necessary to analyze information: (1) perspective; and (2) recognizing source bias. These tools have never been more useful than now, in a time of coronavirus. We are not the first to suggest that Democrats in and out of the media are exploiting coronavirus for political benefit. Having failed to take President Trump down with the Russia hoax and the faux impeachment, they’re grabbing on to coronavirus, with none more openly virulent than MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, a grinning jack-o-lantern of doom. Here’s some perspective: On March 13, 2020, when President Trump declared a national emergency and mobilized the...

The Brits call them "newsreaders." Their job is to sit behind a desk on a TV set and read the news -- ostensibly written by actual journalists, but also by the propagandists at the BBC -- off the teleprompter in a professional-sounding manner while looking reassuringly into the camera. In America we call them "anchors." Their job is to be the star of the show, to determine what goes on the air, to provide the desired slant to the news, and then at some point during the evening, to read the news off the teleprompter in a professional-sounding manner while...

On Wednesday, liberal actress Rosie O'Donnell released a Twitter poll asking her followers if President Donald Trump should be impeached. The poll read, "should trump be impeached," and gave two voting options, "hell yes" and "hell no." To O'Donnell's disbelief, the poll ended up turning on her considering only 42% of people said "hell yes" President Trump should be impeached and a whopping 58% said he should not be impeached. Almost 300,000 people voted in her poll. After O'Donnell realized that her poll revealed that most people do not want to see President Trump impeached, the liberal activist decided to...

Tuesday was the night North Carolina’s ninth congressional district would finally decide who would represent them in the House. A consultant for the 2018 GOP candidate marked incomplete absentee ballots for his candidate, causing the results to be thrown out. Despite a new GOPer running, the CBS Evening News took that bad actor and used him to smear all Republicans and suggested the true question the election would answer was whether the GOP could win without cheating. After failing news anchor Norah O’Donnell pitched the race as a “possible preview for 2020,” correspondent Dean Reynolds began the report by declaring:...

Democrat frontrunner Joe Biden (D) should sit the 2020 presidential race out, says actress and former View co-host Rosie O’Donnell. O’Donnell appeared on CNN Tuesday evening and expressed concerns over Biden’s chances against President Donald Trump, saying Biden is “not the future of the Democratic Party.” His time has passed, and he should “sit this one out,” she added. “I think that Joe Biden should say, ‘I’m going to sit this one out. I’m going to be an elder statesman and I’m gonna advise,'” O’Donnell said, hitting back at the prevailing argument, backed by several polls, that Biden stands the...

Monday on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live After Show,” Rosie O’Donnell said she is supporting Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. O’Donnell said, “Warren is my choice.” She added, “We need a leader. We need a leader, and she’s been leading. Every time she opens her mouth, she gets more respect. Because she has plans for everything, she knows what she’s doing. And I think she knows how to handle that baby in the White House.”

Strangely, the media have suddenly taken an intense interest in the case of pedophile and major Democratic donor Jeffrey Epstein. In 2005, the Palm Beach police were told by the mother of a young girl in West Palm Beach that her daughter had been brought to the Democratic donor's mansion and asked to have sex with him for money. This kicked off an intensive, one-year undercover investigation. The police sifted through Epstein's garbage and interviewed 17 witnesses, including the housemen, who told of sex toys and dildos left behind after the underage girls left. One of Epstein's procurers, a 20-year-old...

Rosie O’Donnell, a notorious critic of President Trump, said Thursday she wants the U.S. armed forces to remove him from the White House. “I want to send the military to the White House to get him,” O’Donnell said on MSNBC, as host Nicolle Wallace discussed Trump’s threats to have the military “close” the U.S.-Mexico border amid reports a massive migrant caravan is en route to the area. The former talk show host also reflected on a previous suggestion to impose martial law to delay President Trump’s inauguration. “When he was elected what I wrote on Twitter was we should impose...

Derangement on steroids! Leftist actress Rose O’Donnell actually told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that the thousands and thousands of people at Donald Trump rallies are there because “they are paid, Chris. . . . He pays people to show up at those rallies.” She just flat out says, “Those are not real rallies.” Yes, Rosie, you will be sad to know they are VERY real, and support for Donald Trump is far deeper than someone like you could ever understand. There are millions and millions of us who support a President who loves America and is not ashamed to say so,...

Rosie O'Donnell the "supreme" POTUS, Donald J. Trump hater/witch just ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer. But...then the singers and entertainers from "Broadway" ain't too sharp either. Ah...yes, the grand gathering outside the "White House" to protest and hate POTUS, Donald J. Trump had some flaws...no one knew that the POTUS, Trump would not be there. The entire country was told by the very media that hates Trump, that he (Trump) was vacationing at his golf course in New Jersey. Yes, O'Donnell and her chorus sang their hateful, hearts out for thirty minutes hoping to either wake up or...

This tweet from the AP’s Michael Biesecker is pretty bad, right? Michael Biesecker ✔ @mbieseck BREAKING ⁦@AP:⁩ Immigrant children as young as 14 housed at a juvenile detention center in Virginia say they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells. https://apnews.com/afc80e51b562462c89907b49ae624e79 … Unfortunately for the left, this article is about a lawsuit against the shelter that includes allegations of abuse of kids that happened during the Obama administration:
