[ad_1] On Thursday’s Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough dressed up his usual Republican-shaming routine with a truly antiquated reference to the old children’s-TV series Romper Room, which pre-dated Sesame Street.

[ad_1] Hopefully it’s true that his case is mild, but Jonathan Karl’s right that no one should trust the White House to report accurately on Trump’s condition.

[ad_1] It was announced early Friday that President Trump and his wife had both tested positive for COVID-19, and while there’s been much mockery and insults directed at Trump, a few celebrities posted content that lacked their usual acidity.

[ad_1] Out: Typhoid Mary. In: COVID Amy. No, actually, Barrett’s one of the few people who was there who can presumably be ruled out as contagious. She had the disease this past summer and recovered. If she’s currently immune and if people who are immune can’t spread the virus — two assumptions I’m making —
[ad_1] The media will never take any responsibility for why Americans find them so untrustworthy; all they can do is reflexively blame President Trump. ABC’s chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl perfectly displayed this point while visiting The View Friday, discussing President Trump’s positive COVID-19 test. He indulged the left-wing hosts’ in stirring up a
[ad_1] Politico seems to be getting into the habit of hyping up radical leftist groups tied to liberal billionaire George Soros looking to sway American politics.
