Jen O'Malley Dillon Gaslights America

Vice President Kamala Harris took five weeks to do a (joint) interview following her ascension to the top of the ticket in July—and another four weeks to sit for her first solo interview with a national network. That didn't stop Harris campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon from calling it "completely bulls—t" to say Harris was "afraid to have interviews."

Gravy Train Derails at MSNBC: Top Anchors Face Huge Pay Cut After Comcast Severs Ties With Left-Wing Network

Comcast is finally cutting ties with MSNBC, the media conglomerate announced Wednesday. That's bad news for the exorbitantly compensated and increasingly unhinged personalities who call the left-wing network home (for now). MSNBC and other declining television assets—but not the reality TV powerhouse Bravo—will be spun off into a new publicly traded company by the end of next year. That means MSNBC will soon be divorced from the ostensibly more serious and less overtly partisan NBC News, which routinely shares reportage, fact-checking (if you can call it that), and contributors with its sister network. Comcast brass on Wednesday told MSNBC staffers that  the network's name and peacock logo might not survive the breakup. The outrageously inflated salaries of the network's top anchors almost definitely won't.

Tired of Losing: Why Comcast May Cut Ties With MSNBC

Donald Trump's first term as president was the best thing that ever happened to MSNBC. The Democratic-aligned cable news channel enjoyed record ratings between 2017 and 2020 as anxious #Resistance liberals tuned in for group therapy sessions hosted by Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace, Rachel Maddow, and other anti-Trump commentators whose increasingly unhinged rhetoric mirrored the deteriorating mental health of their viewers. But after four years of sagging ratings under President Joe Biden, amid a media landscape that has changed dramatically since 2016, there is reason to doubt that MSNBC and its roster of relentlessly partisan grievance-mongers can repeat that success in Trump's second term. A more pressing question: Can the network even survive in its current form?

'Harris does almost no interviews, no tough interviews'

MSNBC host tries to fact-check JD Vance after softball Harris interview, but it goes horribly wrong: '98 eggs per week'



MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle became a target of mockery this week after she tried — but failed — to fact-check Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance.

While campaigning in Pennsylvania last month, Vance stopped at a grocery store in Reading where he talked about the inflation crisis and the skyrocketing cost of groceries under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. During his brief remarks, Vance's two sons, Ewan and Vivek, interrupted him when they reached for a carton of eggs.

'Vance: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" Ruhle: "TONIGHT, we talk to PETA to get to the bottom of this Republican-led equine eating catastrophe."'

"You want some eggs? Let's talk about eggs. Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning," Vance quipped.

Considering that Vance's sons are young boys — ages 4 and 6 — and not bodybuilders, it's evident that Vance was engaging in hyperbole when he joked that his boys eat more than a dozen eggs each morning.

But Ruhle still tried to fact-check Vance's joke.

"14 eggs per day. 98 eggs per week. 2 children consuming 8+ dozen eggs per week," she posted on X.

Ruhle's response and calculation went viral on social media because it came less than a week after she interviewed Harris. That interview did not include fact-checks, featured few follow-up questions, and it was comprised mostly of softball questions.

On Monday, Vance mocked Ruhle's failed fact-check.

"One time I said I was so tired I could sleep for days. Stephanie Ruhle: Vance, in fact, only slept for 8 hours," he posted on X.

Others joined in the fun.

"Vance: 'I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!' Ruhle: 'TONIGHT, we talk to PETA to get to the bottom of this Republican-led equine eating catastrophe,'" CNN commentator Scott Jennings mocked.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), meanwhile, observed that Ruhle's response demonstrates how "the mainstream media are some of the most pathetic people on the planet," while Christopher Rufo forwarded Ruhle the definition of "hyperbole." Some implored Ruhle to investigate claims that it is raining cats and dogs outside, while others noted Ruhle's journalistic failure to conduct basic fact-checks on Democrats.

Last week, Ruhle defended her interview with Harris and even appeared to defend Harris for repeatedly dodging her questions.
