Former congressman and radio talker Joe Walsh said on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that House Republicans investigating President Joe Biden’s son Hunter is “going to anger the American people.” Walsh said, “The Republicans have no agenda. You’re going to see two years of utter chaos trying to investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop and everything like that. Which is just going to anger the American people more.” Guest host Yamiche Alcindor asked, “What do you think governing looks like in this GOP? Do they have any sort of big bills that they might be able to pass through?”

NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor said Monday during an appearance on MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports” that people on the Democratic side of things were “very worried” about former President Trump or other Republicans stealing the election in 2024. While discussing a recent NBC News poll that found 74% of voters believe that the country is moving in the wrong direction and that 58% of voters said America’s best years are behind it. The poll also found that “threats to democracy” was ahead of “cost of living” and “jobs and the economy” when asked about the most important issue facing the U.S. Alcindor...

PBS’s “Washington Week” host Yamiche Alcindor said Wednesday on MSNBC’s ‘”11th Hour” that “a lot of black women” felt like the Republican senators questioning Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson were disrespecting her. Guest-host Alicia Menendez said, “There was this sort of remarkable moment today between Judge Jackson and Senator Cory Booker. I want to play for our audience. Let’s take a listen.” During the hearings, Booker said, “They’re going to accuse you of this and that, heck, in honor of your birthday, you might be called a communist but don’t worry my sister, don’t worry. God has got you....

Tuesday's episode of Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show offered a triple-header of obtuse liberal hypocrisy. First up, Yamiche Alcindor—apparently devoid of the slightest shred of self-awareness—said: "Fox News, while it's sort of supposed to be a cable news channel, what it really was, I mean, and continues to be, is sort of this fringe wing of the GOP."Need we remind Alcindor that she is among the most egregiously biased liberal commentators in the media universe? If Fox News is a fringe wing of the GOP, how would Alcindor, a PBS host and MSNBC contributor, describe herself and the networks that sign...

On her MSNBC show on Thursday afternoon, Nicolle Wallace, who's been touted as the logical replacement for Rachel Maddow should she give up her primetime gig, sounded like an unpaid Psaki as she repeatedly touted Biden's pledge to restore the "soul" of our nation.PBS White House reporter Yamiche Alcindor joined in.

It wasn't easy, but we've finally found someone who claims to have believed Biden when in his speech on the Afghanistan fiasco he boasted, "The buck stops with me." And—no surprise—that person is none other than quintessential liberal-media member Yamiche Alcindor of PBS and MSNBC. On today's Morning Joe, after Willie Geist pressed her hard, twice asking whether the Biden administration understood the gravity of the situation, Biden ally Alcindor responded: "I think it’s been very clear to me in talking to White House officials that they understood the gravity. This is a 20-year war spanning multiple presidencies. And President...

Notable & Quotable: Yamiche Alcindor of PBS on Trump Trauma Is President Biden ‘concerned that those scars are going to be deeper than his ability to address them in this one trip?’ Alcindor: Can you talk a bit about how President Biden plans to convince, especially our European allies, that President—former President Trump was an anomaly in some ways—all the things that he did to, in some ways, traumatize those leaders; calling into question the need for NATO. What’s the plan there? And is he concerned that those scars are going to be deeper than his ability to address them...

Morbidly obese White House reporter, Yamiche Alcindor urged the Biden Admin to put pressure on the CDC to reverse the updated mask guidance. In March, the CDC is finally admitted what we’ve known all along: the overwhelming majority of people who were hospitalized or died from Covid were obese or overweight. “As clinicians develop care plans for COVID-19 patients, they should consider the risk for severe outcomes in patients with higher BMIs, especially for those with severe obesity,” the agency wrote. Last Thursday the CDC updated its guidance on masks and said fully vaccinated people do not need to wear...

In an age when Americans have grown used to casually shrugging away their freedoms at the whim of TV pundits, this kind of propaganda is seriously dangerous.Open The New York Times’ politics page Thursday morning and the top headline reads, “Democrats Begin Push For Biggest Expansion In Voting Since 1960s.” It’s a story about the most important election power-grab in modern legislative history, with a slim, partisan majority of senators seeking to wrest control of elections away from state governments to ensure Democrat control for decades to come. For starters, H.R. 1 will ban voter ID requirements, mandate early voting,...

resident Biden's first formal press conference is in the books, and it was deeply embarrassing to anyone who thinks the media's job is to hold presidents accountable. Taxpayer-enabled PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor was the worst. She complimented the president, saying: "You've said over and over again that immigrants shouldn't come to this country right now; this isn't the time to come. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and are trusting you...

Even far left outlets are demanding to know why on earth the Biden administration is fuelling a humanitarian disaster at the border... ---------------------------------------------------------- In a desperate attempt to avoid questioning about the worsening humanitarian crisis at the Southern border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that it is President Trump’s fault that thousands of children are sleeping on concrete floored cages without seeing the Sun for days. As previously reported by CBS News, just under one month ago there were only NINE children being held in Border Patrol facilities, yet now there are over 4000. JUST IN: U.S. Border...

....... terrifying for white people -- and that's what this is about -- that people of color are threatening them so deeply that they are willing to dismiss democratic tenets? And I'm just repeating what I said earlier because I have no other explanation, Joe. There's nothing else there. We could put the 10 smartest scholars in the room. That's it -- I'm saying the quiet part out loud. It's no other explanation, and that's what we have to deal with in this country right now. .We're a divided country, and it's about race. I don't care what anybody else...

You might have thought it was surprising, shocking, perhaps even inappropriate, that retired military brass, particularly those like James Mattis who served as aides to President Trump, have spoken out in criticism of him. You might also have thought that Trump-hater par excellence Nicolle Wallace would have been thrilled by their statements. But Wallace is apparently a tough person to please. On her MSNBC show this afternoon, Wallace expressed her "burning rage" that the military leaders didn't speak out sooner!Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor faced heavy backlash for insisting that there was "no evidence" that any activity that sparked from the George Floyd protests were the result of "anarchists." Protests have sparked across the country after last week's police-involved killing of 46-year-old Floyd in Minneapolis. However, riots also broke out that led to the destruction of property, looting, and assaults. On Sunday, President Trump urged Democratic mayors and governors to take stronger action against who he described were "anarchists" that have caused havoc in recent days.

The racism narrative overshadowed the much more important point reporter Weijia Jiang highlighted, which is the media's consistent defense of China and downplaying of American exceptionalism. The media establishment has become an absolute clown show, with CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang cast as the ringleader during Monday’s press briefing circus. Instead of asking President Donald Trump any relevant question as a means to better inform Americans amid the pandemic, Jiang opted for grandstanding with a question about as frivolous as the infamous “Is Chinese food racist?”“You’ve said many times that the U.S. is doing far better than any...

... 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...

New White House strategic communications director Alyssa Farah already has her work cut out for her. One of her first orders of business was to correct fake news reports that Surgeon General Jerome Adams was "sidelined" from public appearances after some comments he made last week about how the coronavirus affects minority communities. "Avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs,” Adams told minorities during a coronavirus task force briefing. "We need you to do this, if not for yourself, then for your abuela. Do it for your granddaddy. Do it for your Big Mama. Do it for your Pop-Pop." PBS reporter Yamiche...

On Monday, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta stepped back in the ring for Monday’s White House Coronavirus Task Force daily briefing and, as usual, he made a fool out of himself. Fortunately for our collective sanity, the ordeal lasted less than two minutes and ended with President Trump torching Fake News Jim for his “nasty, snarky question” about the President’s past statements at what was then a disturbing but evolving pandemic. Having recognized he was there, Trump called on him around 6:01 p.m. Eastern: “Go ahead, let’s give it a shot.” Acosta responded with this doozy, which felt...

After being absent for much of the last two weeks, Jim Acosta reappeared at today’s Coronavirus Task Force press conference. As he always does, Acosta failed to ask anything relevant, instead attempting to engage the President of the United States in a debate. He failed miserably. Here’s the clip – watch as Trump brutalizes the preening little peacock and the airport-based CNN: Caleb Hull ✔ @CalebJHull Trump blasts CNN: "Instead of asking a nasty, snarky question like that, you should ask a real question and other than that, I’m going to go to somebody else." Embedded video 430 5:08 PM...

CNN journalist Yamiche Alcindor asked President Donald Trump a question about a Sean Hannity interview where he allegedly said that certain states' leaders are asking for ventilators and other things that they do not need. Trump, visibly irritated (and rightfully so) responded with a degree of disdain. He did not like the way the question was phrased or the general tone behind it, saying that it was threatening and not nice. This type of behavior from CNN is, of course, not new at all. It is pretty much par for the course. As more and more people cut their cords...
