This week’s Liberal Media Scream features exactly what it takes for legacy news outlets to gush about President Joe Biden. Just hate former President Donald Trump — it’s as simple as that.
On MSNBC on Sunday morning, former federal prosecutor and cable network legal analyst Cynthia Alksne set the tone when she said of President Joe Biden, “Isn’t he the greatest?” It came after a guest host, Michael Steele, brought up how Biden had mocked Trump’s claim he could declassify any document. “He just has to sort of call it like he sees it, right?” Alksne said. Steele agreed: “He did.”
Following the clip of Biden talking, Alksne added with a chuckle, “He’s out of malarkeys, that’s all. He’s just out of malarkeys.”
From the Aug. 28 The Sunday Show With Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC:
GUEST HOST MICHAEL STEELE: Cynthia, the White House has been in a very interesting spot here — a little bit ticklish, I would think. They’ve been careful not to make any statements that would seem to get folks excited or certainly impede the investigation or be perceived as doing so. But the president did allow a little slip this week. So—
CYNTHIA ALKSNE: Isn’t he the greatest?
STEELE: Yeah, well.
ALKSNE: I mean, he just has to sort of call it like he sees it, right?
STEELE: He did.
ALKSNE: He’s staying away from it.
STEELE: He did. Let’s just take a listen. Let’s see what he said.
REPORTER: President Trump said he declassified all these documents. Could he have just declassified them all?
JOE BIDEN: Why, I just want to know. “I’ve declassified everything in the world. I’m president. I can do it all.” Come on! He declassified everything. I’m not going to comment because I don’t know the details. I don’t even want to know. I’ll let the Justice Department take care of that.
STEELE: Real quick.
ALKSNE: He’s out of malarkeys, that’s all. He’s just out of malarkeys [Steele laughs]. But that’s definitely true. This whole declassification argument is — is really kind of stupid.
Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: “‘Isn’t he the greatest?’ Four words never before spoken about President Joe Biden. Only on MSNBC could you find anyone so impressed by Biden, but naturally, it’s not about his job performance but about Biden mocking the person the Left really hates, Donald Trump. That’s how you impress MSNBC hosts, guests, and viewers.”
