Have America’s cable news anchors learned nothing? In an attempt to fill air-time leading up to a misleading press conference from the doctors treating Donald Trump at Walter Reed hospital, MSNBC anchor Alex Witt gave the president credit for his new “tone” post-COVID-19 diagnosis. “Interestingly as we listen to the president via Twitter last night, is it my imagination, or was there a somewhat gentler tone to this president?” Witt asked, in comments first flagged by The Daily Show senior digital producer Matt Negrin. “Not caustic when he said ‘Thank you to all, love,’ all-caps. There was something rather heartfelt.” She […]

The NAACP has been accused of downplaying the gravity of the 9/11 attacks, with critics up in arms after the organization deemed them a “horrific incident” with no mention of terrorism in a tweet to mark their 19th anniversary. “Today we remember all the lives lost and families affected during the horrific incident that occurred in 2001. #NeverForget,” the organization wrote in a tweet on Friday, captioning an image of the New York skyline featuring the words “Always remember.” The post did not go over well, soon swarmed by a barrage of commenters who rushed to slam the organization’s use of […]

Evan Vucci/AP The 2020 Republican National Convention this week began and ended with two performances by the man who designed it all, President Donald J. Trump.

The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin was shredded online for quipping that it was time for a “bunker inspection” after the Secret Service rushed the president out of a press briefing, seemingly elated that he might be in danger. Following President Trump’s abrupt evacuation from a White House presser on Monday, the Post’s self-ordained “conservative” columnist casually tweeted “Bunker inspection time?” While the brief scare was later said to be triggered by an armed suspect near the White House, who was shot by Secret Service agents, Rubin’s tweet was inundated with a flood of criticism, many seeing it as a highly inappropriate […]
Earlier this year, we learned that President Donald Trump literally laughs at the press when they start fawning over his “new tone.” And yet, somehow, it keeps happening. On Wednesday night, Seth Meyers pointed out that despite the president’s “insane tangent” this week in which he said he wished accused sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell well, “the media still fell for Trump’s act, simply because his team dosed his Diet Coke with Nyquil and got him to read a prepared statement pretending to take the [coronavirus] crisis seriously.” The Late Night host singled out reporters at ABC News, CNN and Bloomberg, each […]

As Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) proclaims her exoneration from allegations of insider trading, she’s simultaneously building a campaign fundraising system that imagines her campaign as a Wall Street-style investment opportunity. The Georgia Republican is offering donors and fundraisers benefit packages to support her re-election bid. Those packages come in three tiers: investor, shareholder, and board member. That’s according to a fundraising brochure obtained by The Daily Beast, which also details each of the benefits that donors can expect from membership in what Loeffler’s campaign refers to as a “co-investor program” and has dubbed its “executive council.” It’s common for campaigns to […]
