Liberals & Democrats

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough enthuses over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, "saying Democrats need her," and that for leadership roles, they should choose people like AOC rather than people of retirement age. Scarborough extols AOC's "great message," despite her far-left positions on the issues.

Last week, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from seeking to deport anti-Israel, pro-Hamas Columbia University student protester Moshen Mahdawi and ordered his release from prison. His arrest sparked a slew of liberal media attention, particularly on CBS’s lead shows, CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News. On the latter’s Monday edition (and then the former on…

Monday morning’s Politico Playbook dished a hilarious exclusive that former longtime Capitol Hill reporter Hanna Trudo — who had been until earlier this spring The Hill’s senior political correspondent — “is exploring a campaign for Congress as a Democrat in New Hampshire’s 1st District” after a career that also featured stops at the Daily Beast and Politico.

On CNN's State of the Union, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, discussing his possible run for the presidency, describes himself as socially liberal "pretty much across the board," adding, "I believe in live and let live." But since abortion is at the top of the board of liberal social issues, Smith apparently doesn't believe "live and let live" extends to unborn children.

Former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki joined CBS’s Stephen Colbert on The Late Show on Wednesday for three segments full of loathing President Trump and his “fire hose of dirty water” and “do-nothing Democrats” like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

The New York Times ran a frankly weird article celebrating leftist internet streamer Hasan Piker, “A Progressive Mind in a Body Made for the ‘Manosphere.’” If that wasn’t enough to quality for the Hasan Piker fanclub, the subhead continued: “Hasan Piker pumps iron, likes weapons and wears pearls. His brand of masculinity has won him many fans online -- and has been a useful vehicle…

NBC’s Seth Meyers gave another one of his odes to the far-left faction of the Democratic Party on Monday’s edition of Late Night as he demanded others in the party fall in line behind them because they are allegedly “doing [bleep].”

Wednesday marks 100 days since President Trump took office for the second time, and the news media will doubtless be ready with report cards judging his new administration. Yet looking back at news coverage of recent liberal Presidents at their 100-day mark, it’s been a veritable lovefest.

The so-called “conservatives” of ABC’s The View haven’t been about promoting conservativism for a long time; instead preferring to make their personal ideologies all about hating President Trump and trying to get Democratic politicians elected. On Friday’s episode, they closed out the week by inviting liberal columnist Ezra Klein (there to promote his new book) on to commiserate about…

Two important developments in education occurred over the last week. One was a sign of the problem we have. The other was a sign of the solution. The sign of the problem, to which hopefully the U.S. Supreme Court will provide the correct answer, falls under the headline of sex education. The court has just heard Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which families from a variety of faiths -- Muslims…

The death of Pope Francis provided the liberals of CBS News ample opportunity to boast about the liberal polices the pontiff promoted while also giving them a foil against President Trump’s staunch stance against illegal immigration. In their break-in and CBS Mornings newscast, the network spent a lot of their Monday morning boasting about how Francis “try[ed] to make the Catholic…

This week, Democrats decided to expend their quickly diminishing political capital in defense of a deported Salvadoran illegal immigrant named Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Garcia was deported to El Salvador some weeks ago; the Department of Justice initially admitted that his deportation was an “administrative error.” It turns out that Garcia had an order withholding removal to his home country, due…

The front of Thursday’s New York Times by San Francisco-based reporter Kellen Browning, “Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez Electrify Democrats -- Tens of Thousands at Anti-Trump Rallies.” Barely disguised enthusiasm to push an old lefty and a younger lefty into the national spotlight: "The biggest political rallies anywhere in America right now are being headlined by an 83-…

Over there on this very site, NewsBusters’ own Alex Christy had a sharp-eyed focus on a curious moment on a recent episode of Stephen Colbert’s late night CBS show.
