I can’t believe this, but I guess we should soak it all up because this will probably not happen again for a bit. The liberal media actually placed pressure on White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. It was a slew of issues. From COVID to Cuomo, Psaki was on her heels and it wasn’t just Fox News’ Peter Doocy doing all the work this time. Doocy shut down Psaki over the growing border crisis. Migrants testing positive for COVID are being released, placing border towns and localities at risk. The Fox News reporter noted that these migrants have an infection...

Peter Alexander, NBC’s White House Correspondent, invited President Donald Trump on Friday to apologize for allegedly disparaging fallen military personnel. The unsubstantiated allegations — which included no evidence — were published by the Atlantic on Thursday. The Atlantic alleged that Trump derided Americans who died in wars as “losers,” citing unidentified “people with firsthand knowledge” of a discussion with the president in 2018. Alexander asked for Trump’s apology while wearing a mask. His Twitter profile photo also shows him wearing a surgical mask. He reiterated Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg’s allegations.

Despite their roots in reality, there is no doubt that these crises -- and the White House and Senate's attempts to tackle them -- would be reported differently if Hillary Clinton were president. It took more than five years, but the corporate media finally have the tools and strategy to successfully defeat President Donald Trump.The corporate media have these, mind you, despite the Democratic Party, whose foibles, stumbles, and misfires over those same five years have only complicated efforts, kicking off with a disastrous 2016 defeat and eventually culminating in a near-invisible and increasingly senile presidential candidate stumbling through a...

Mar. 20, 2020 - 2:46 - President Trump gets into a contentious battle with NBC's Peter Alexander over coronavirus drug treatments and for sensationalizing the pandemic VIDEO

... President Donald Trump came into office railing against many of the foundations of our democratic institutions, including a free press. Forty months into his administration, coverage of the coronavirus outbreak is the latest sign that - contrary to conventional wisdom - he hasn't laid a glove on serious journalism. His attacks, most recently against excellent reporters like Jonathan Karl (ABC), Yamiche Alcindor (PBS), Peter Alexander (NBC) and Paula Reid (CBS), put the bully in bully pulpit, but they haven't shaken the soul of the First Amendment. Trump's daily briefings, which sometimes include pertinent and significant information, have also frequently...

Yes, emphasize fear. Alexander’s argument (it was not a question) was asked and answered, and still Alexander persisted in grandstanding and nearly heckling the president with the implication the American people should be afraid, that the president was spreading false hope, and that the country would be better off feeling anxious because that would mean Trump will not be reelected. The reason the media and their Never Trump lackeys are covering up the truth is because they know The Truth exposes Alexander as the godless, left-wing hack he is. The reason the media and their Never Trump lackeys are covering...

President Trump's can-do "what the hell do we have to lose" attitude in what he calls a "war against an invisible enemy" was on full display again in a news conference on the coronavirus, COVID-19, and a drug that may be used soon to treat it, but the fireworks flew when one reporter accused the president of giving "false hope" to the American people. What happened next might have been Trump's finest hour. Mind you, we're still so early in these tectonic changes to American life – quarantines, shutdowns, social distancing – that it's a little early to say what's...

CLAIM: NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander claims he asked the president to calm Americans, and he lashed out. VERDICT: False. Alexander first asked whether the president was giving Americans “false hope.” Peter Alexander is attempting to defend himself after being called out by President Donald Trump on national television during a White House briefing on the coronavirus outbreak on Friday. Alexander claims that he was simply asking the president “to reassure Americans.”

Friday over a testy exchange President Donald Trump had with NBC White House Correspondent Peter Alexander during a White House press briefing. The president told Alexander that he was a “terrible reporter” after Alexander asked what Trump would tell Americans who are scared about the coronavirus pandemic.

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume ripped NBC's Peter Alexander on Friday, calling his question to President Trump a "bullsh*t gotcha question." Alexander asked if Trump was giving Americans a false sense of hope with his "impulse" to focus on the positive, and later asked what Trump had to say to Americans who were scared. Much of the back and forth centered over comments Trump has made about a malaria medicine that he hopes might be effective for coronavirus. Time columnist David French called the question by Alexander legitimate, prompting Hume to respond on social media. "Legitimate question my...

LIVE: President Trump and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold News Conference 3/20/20

President Trump’s opponents say he believes he’s “above the law,” but famed constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz says are simply “weaponizing a cliche.” “The claim that President Tump is above the law has become a cliche,” Dershowitz said. “What he and his legal team are asserting is that the law provides them certain protections and immunities. That should surprise no one who is familiar with the Constitution. The Constitution also provides immunities for members of Congress. … That doesn’t place them above the law. That is the law." "I think it’s fair to say that those people who are arguing that...

Considering the liberal mediaÂ’s history of being anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, MondayÂ’s White House Press Briefing featured plenty of leading questions for Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah suggesting that Israel was responsible for the deadly protests by Palestinians along with the Israeli/Gaza border. This all came as the U.S. Embassy opened in Jerusalem. Some were fair (such as one from the Fox News ChannelÂ’s John Roberts) and others touched on the controversy of the Trump administration inviting Pastors John Hagee and Robert Jeffress, but the most obnoxious ones came concerning the brazen violence by Palestinians. Anti-Israel WH Reporters Demand Israel...

The liberal media made fools out of themselves Wednesday as nearly every major news outlet rushed to breathlessly report that President Trump had called all illegal immigrants to the United States “animals.” Of course, the glaring problem with their claims was that they were totally false. And despite the fact the media had to issue reams of retractions and corrections, NBC Nightly News and Spanish-language networks Univision and Telemundo kept up the charade Thursday evening. Here is Trump’s comment, complete with the full context: UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: There could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they don't reach...

NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander asked the White House Monday if it believed Israel should "kill at will" during questions about violence at the Gaza Strip. White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said responsibility for the violence along the border fence "rests squarely with Hamas," the militant terrorist organization that governs the Palestinian territory. Mass protests have broken out again in response to the moving of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, recently recognized by the U.S. as Israel's capital. Alexander quoted French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who issued a statement Monday calling on Israel to use proportionate...

MSNBC flashed some bitterness on Wednesday afternoon following President Trump’s first joint press conference of 2018, complaining that Trump only called on “conservative outlets” Washington Examiner and the Fox News Channel with only the latter one offering “a challenging question.” “He did take two questions from U.S.-based reporters. They were both from conservative outlets, the Washington Examiner and Fox, although John Roberts at Fox did ask him a challenging question that he didn’t answer about being interviewed by Robert Mueller and how that’ll go,” bemoaned MSNBC Live host Ali Velshi.  Sour Grapes: MSNBC Upset Trump Only Called on ‘Conservative Outlets’...

For the second day in a row, NBC’s Peter Alexander and Yahoo’s Hunter Walker asked questions from the far-left in Wednesday’s White House press briefing, insinuating to Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that people should be concerned that President Trump is behaving like a mentally ill authoritarian.  Alexander kicked things off part way through the tense briefing, smugly informing Sanders that he had “a couple of questions,” all of which he’d “try to make these simple.”   Absolutely Nuts: NBC, Yahoo! News Reporters Suggest Trump Is a Mentally Ill Authoritarian  Following a brief retort from Sanders, Alexander first asked if Donald...

On Friday, all three network morning shows began with anchors breathlessly declaring that President Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner was “under scrutiny” in the FBI’s Russia investigation. However, after offering the screaming salacious headlines, each broadcast quietly admitted that Kushner was not the target of the investigation nor was he accused of any wrongdoing. Opening NBC’s Today, co-host Matt Lauer hyped: “Under scrutiny, President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, now part of the FBI’s Russia investigation.” Minutes later, fellow co-host Savannah Guthrie promised viewers there was “fresh turmoil facing the Trump administration.” Correspondent Peter Alexander further sensationalized the...

On Friday, the NBC, CBS, and ABC morning shows all blasted Thursday’s Republican presidential debate as “vulgar” “silly” and “childish.” The same networks that have routinely provided ample airtime to Donald Trump’s personal attacks on his rivals, lectured the GOP contenders on civility. Co-host Matt Lauer began NBC’s Today: “Vitriol and vulgarity. The Republican race reaches new lows during last night's debate....Is this any way to elect a president?” Minutes later, fellow co-host Savannah Guthrie lamented: “New nastiness, new lows in the Republican presidential race.”Nets Slam ‘Vulgar’ and ‘Childish’ GOP Debate Reaching ‘New Lows’In the report that followed, correspondent Peter...

Appearing on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports with guest host Peter Alexander, a youth leader of the protest movement in Chicago that was triggered by the police shooting of a black teenager in 2014, demands that the police department be defunded and the money be reallocated “to fund black futures.” The Washington Free Beacon reports that Breanna Champion of the Black Youth Project called it "unheard of" and “unacceptable” that police receive 40 percent of the city’s budget. Her organization wants that money
