Growing increasingly irate, @NBCNews political director Chuck Todd (who claims to be a non-biased "referee") yells at Sen. Barrasso (R-WY) for pointing out precedent and for doing what Democrats would undoubtedly do if they had both the WH and Senate: fill the vacant SCOTUS seat.
When Senator Barrasso again mentioned the Biden Rule, Todd screamed at his guest: "What are you-- there is no Biden Rule!"
Refusing to apply the same standard to Dems who were against filling SCOTUS seats in election years before they were for it and before they were against it again, Todd called Barrasso a hypocrite: "Whatever you're saying today will change depending on the politics at the moment?"
Claiming he understood what average Americans thought, Todd (who rented a house to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)) denounced Senate Republicans as hypocrites with "caveats." Still no mention of the Democrats' flip-flop-flip on filling SCOTUS vacancies in elections years.
In between outbrusts at Sen. Barrasso, Todd would sit there and make faces at him. Here's a sampling:

WATCH CNN LIE
CNN "journalists" parrot each other as they falsely claim Natasha Bertrand's initial reporting the Iran strike leak included the facts that it was a "low confidence" and "preliminary" report.
Kate Bolduan proclaims: "...about it being low confidence. CNN reported on all of on all of this. I was looking back just to make sure that we had it. All throughout the reporting process, CNN had reported that it is preliminary..."
"It's in there," Sara Sidner smugly added.
NO IT WAS NOT, as this thread will prove.
Using the Wayback Machine, you can see that the initial report pushed by Bertrand on Tuesday does not have the words "low confidence" nor "preliminary."

The only times the word "low" is even used was White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling CNN the leak came from "an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community," and the assertion that the bombs "would likely not successfully penetrate Isfahan’s lower levels."

web.archive.org/web/2025062419…
Those words don't appear in any version of the article until Wednesday afternoon when they quote Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's criticisms of the assessment: "Hegseth, who is also at the NATO summit, said Wednesday the assessment was 'a top secret report; it was preliminary; it was low confidence;' adding that there were political motives behind leaking it and that an FBI investigation was underway to identify the leaker."

The View's ABC chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl to keep the liberal ladies on the rails while they discuss the U.S's strikes on Iran.
Moderator Joy Behar huffs about Trump not waiting 2 weeks.
Karl notes that it was a "head fake" and that the Iranians "were not engaging at all" with peace talks.
Behar serious questions why Trump didn't tell the Iranians he was going to bomb their nuclear weapons enrichment facility:

Behar: So, why did he keep it a secret for the surprise version?
Fake Republican Ana Navarro tries to compare Trump to George W. Bush and WMDs in Iraq; "Based on wrong information or lies."

Karl explains that Iran was already well on their way to having the fuel to power their nuclear weapons. (Hence the enrichment debate).

Adding: "By the way, I've been covering the Iran nuclear threat, I hate to say it, for literally two decades. And during much of that time the sense is that Iran was months away from having a bomb."

The View falsely claims it's "misinformation" that the Minnesota shooter had "Democratic political ties."
Ignoring the fact that the shooter was appointed by Gov. Walz to one of his advisory boards, co-host Sara Haines whines: "If anybody watching right now is having a debate over what the background of this person's political views are, you're the problem."
She also huffs: "Some of the most emboldened people sit behind keyboards and say the nastiest, craziest thing." Meanwhile, she sits on TV and says the most nasty and craziest things.
Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin attacks Sen. Mike Lee: "He has more of a desire for clicks and re-tweets and to feed the far-right base that he relies on than to have some humanity..."

Megyn Kelly presses Jake Tapper on his very obvious and very willful role in the cover up President Biden's cognitive decline.
Tapper deflects, puts it on his sources and the existential threat of Trump, and filibusters.
Eventually, he claims he feels "tremendous humility" and notes his shouting match with Lara Trump: "She saw something I didn't see at the time...I own that."
Kelly grills Tapper: "When you sat with him again...You didn't ask him about it. You didn't follow up on the fact that he was falling up the stairs, he was losing his train of thought regularly, that he was slurring, that he was incomprehensible, that he was getting lost in the White House lawn. You sat right across from him and you asked none of that."
"That's true, but I did ask him about this age," Tapper sheepishly admitted. He further defends his journalistic malpractice by saying: "It's not like I was asking him his favorite movie or his favorite color."
"I mean, time and time again when issues came up, you seem to be running cover for the President, you didn't seem interested," Kelly called him out.
Tapper can be heard getting angry.
She confronts him with his screaming match with Lara Trump: "Do you want to apologize to Lara Trump now?"
"I already apologized to her. I called her months ago," he claimed without evidence.
"You seem to try to humiliate her," Kelly adds and points out Tapper's hypocrisy where he now diagnosis Biden's cognitive decline.

Whoopi condescendingly directs her hate toward White House Press Secretary @karolineleavitt for denouncing wokeness. Shouting at her: "This young lady whose - this is her first job, I would like her to do a little homework. She said something yesterday that pissed me off...Let me explain something to you because without that wokeness, you might not have that job!...The wokeness was put in place for a reason!...Please please stop using that phrase to talk about because you don't understand what you're saying!"
Whoopi, who tried to scare people to vote for Kamala by falsely claiming Trump was going to redistribute white spouses from interracial marriages, says she's worried that the expanded White House press pool will be "state-run news" and would "feel a lot better" if there were "standards people have to meet."
@karolineleavitt Here's Whoopi making her bonkers claim about Trump redistributing white spouses from intraradical marriages.

I'm inside the Bay County, Florida Courthouse for Day Ten of the $1 billion defamation trial of Zachary Young v. CNN. You can watch the proceedings live with the video stream below in the quoted post or follow along with my live posts in the thread below.
I don't think it's going to be a hung jury.
Their demeanor last night wasn't that of a jury bitter and angry at each other, indicative of a hung jury. They seemed to be more hangry and stayed well past what they were asked once they were promised food.
There's a knock and a note
