PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett complained to Bill Maher: "What do you think accounts for the durability of Donald Trump as a political figure? By any objective or rational standard, the challenges facing him, the scandals, the criminal trials -- all of that should be disqualifying. And yet he's competitive!" Maher said: "He's winning...and in the states that matter."

The taxpayer-funded PBS NewsHour keeps obsessing over clips from NBC's Meet the Press where host Kristen Welker pesters potential Republican vice-president picks refuse to commit to conceding the 2024 election before anyone votes. Host Geoff Bennett -- formerly of MSNBC -- complained this has become GOP "orthodoxy" and proclaimed "we know how damaging this denialism is for our democracy."

On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, the Week in Politics segment dove into the New York Times “scoop” that the flag flew upside down for a few days in January 2021 outside the home of Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito.

You have another who's going to mix up the names of world leaders and need a midday nap. It’s not eenie-meanie-miney-mo."

Ex-NPR senior editor Uri Berliner appeared again on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation show on Tuesday night. “I think that really, NPR has a lot of soul searching to do about representing the country at large. Being a publicly funded news organization and really trying to represent this country in all its great diversity and viewpoints.”

Near the end of a nearly 15-minute softball interview with Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC host Katy Tur infuriated the former Speaker by noting Trump's record on jobs was affected by a "global pandemic." Pelosi shot back "If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain’t mine.”

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) saddled up for another fight against CNN host Dana Bash on Sunday’s State of the Union. Two years ago, Bash pushed Noem around, insisting she support an abortion for a raped 10-year-old girl in Chicago. Noem kept attacking the rapist. On Sunday, the combat resumed over the Trump trial in Manhattan. Bash kept pressing Noem about how she couldn’t possibly support Trump if…

On Sunday's CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS brought on 79-year-old actor Michael Douglas to plug his new Benjamin Franklin movie on Apple TV+. Zakaria nudged Douglas, a liberal Democrat, to vouch for Biden's mental acuity. From what he's heard, Douglas says Biden's "as sharp as a tack." Isn't that what all the Democrats say off the talking-points list?
