Peter Alexander, NBC's chief White House correspondent and co-anchor of the Saturday edition of Today, is leaving that network supposedly in order to spend more time with his family and children. Do you believe that? No? And neither does pretty much everybody else. In fact the New York Post's Page Six revealed what is likely the real reason in the Saturday headline of the story by Carlos Greer announcing Alexander's split from his network: "Peter Alexander is leaving NBC after years of being passed over for top anchor jobs: source." Peter Alexander is saying sayonara to NBC News after nearly 22 years — including 15 years on the White House beat and eight as co-anchor of “Saturday Today,” we hear. The reason he’s leaving is a familiar one for TV anchors: The rigorous grind of 6-7 day workweeks has left him longing to spend more time with his family and young children, according to our source. And while that may be true, we’re told Alexander was also sick of being overlooked for top jobs at the network’s more prestigious shows like “Today” and “Nightly News.” “He’d be the first to say he’s had ambitions for the top anchor jobs, and with all of those spots recently filled, he’s going to try something new,” the source said. As for spending more time with his family, that excuse was completely blown by the not very surprising revelation of his new gig: Alexander’s last day will be on Saturday. We hear he’s going to settle for an 11 a.m. weekday anchor gig at MS Now, formerly MSNBC, the network NBC separated from after restructuring in 2025. MS NOW. Nowadays leftist network journalists who unconvincingly try pretending to be merely objective reporters often leave that pretense behind and reveal themselves fully to be the partisan hacks they really are on either MS NOW or as podcasters. When Alexander's full leftist bias is revealed on MS NOW it will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who is at all familiar with him. One example of his obvious bias happened at the first press conference of President Trump's second term when Alexander seemed to not consider ILLEGALLY crossing the border as a crime worthy of deportation and that anyone doing so has a free pass to remain in the USA as long as they don't commit a violent crime:   NBC’s @PeterAlexander: “Karoline, very quickly just following up on the question on immigration first. President Trump, during the course of the campaign in 2024, said the following about illegal immigration. He said “they're going back home where they belong, and we start with… pic.twitter.com/TSN6MuOb3U — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) January 28, 2025 In sharp contrast to the way Peter Alexander interrogated Trump administration officials or other conservative sources, are the softball interviews he conducts with Democrats and liberals such as this series of soft pitches to Kamala Harris during the 2024 election campaign:   Peter Alexander was so obviously partisan as to even defend the lawfare against President Trump when Joe Biden was in the White House: “Let me also explain this one.” @RepDonaldsPress to @MeetThePress host @PeterAlexander who asserted: “To be clear, Joe Biden, there is no evidence he had anything to do with this case...Why is it appropriate for Donald Trump to call for prosecuting his political opponents?” #MTP pic.twitter.com/fa7TfYM57m — Brent Baker

You gotta love it. There’s nothing like watching a liberal icon in the media make an unconscious slip of the tongue that reveals what they really think but are afraid to say.  Such was the case this last week as lefty late-night icon Jimmy Kimmel took to America’s TV screens to say this of Trump-appointed Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. Said Kimmel:  “Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber,” Kimmel smirked. He plunged on: “That’s right, we have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. Well, it worked for Super Mario, why not Markwayne.” And in a blink there it was laid bare. Not too deep in his unconscious, the wealthy left-wing TV star has contempt for America’s working class -- plumbers in this case. What will happen the next time the Kimmels need to call a plumber? Texas Senator Ted Cruz took to X to take note, saying: “I prefer plumbers to woke & unfunny comedians.”  Georgia’s Representative Mike Collins replied:  The elites too often look down their noses at blue collar, middle America. They try to demean a man by calling him a plumber. As if plumbing is something to be ashamed of or is somehow a lesser profession than a court jester turning tricks on late night commentary (comedy is… https://t.co/YXI61kjTEr — Rep. Mike Collins (@RepMikeCollins) March 25, 2026 Chris Cillizza, formerly of CNN and now an independent journalist, scoffed: “Not a great look.” While Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis took to social media to lament "The disdain for which the Democrats and Hollywood elites have for working class Americans - and folks who step up to do important jobs for their country - is shameful. These people need help." Taken collectively, not to mention as a stand-alone, Kimmel’s caustic and decidedly elitist look down his nose at Mullin because the latter has a background as a plumber speaks volumes about the real mindset of today’s left-wing media types.  And in fact? Mullin is recorded as not just having started his plumbing business with six employees. He went on to grow the business considerably, growing it to the point where it now has over 100 employees. That’s in addition to building several other businesses and ranching operations in two different Oklahoma counties. In short, Mullin is a highly successful businessman. Once upon a time, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democrats he led presented themselves as the party of the working man. Or as FDR called them, “the forgotten man.” FDR also called out the GOP’s then-President Herbert Hoover as the representative of a political party “which can think in terms only of the top of the social and economic structure.” In today’s world, the parties have flipped. The GOP is the working man's party, the Democrats the home of wealthy liberal elites. Jimmy Kimmel personifies today’s lefties, notably those in the media, who decidedly “can think in terms only of the top of the social and economic structure.” Which is what results in Kimmel’s media elitist snobbery that looks down his Hollywood nose at plumbers like Secretary Mullin once was. And to say the least, with the considerably serious business success of Mullin? With Kimmel having stepped in it revealing his true contempt for working Americans?  You can’t make it up. 

MS NOW host Ali Velshi and former GOP congressman-turned MS NOW darling Joe Walsh joined forces on the former’s Saturday show to hype the day’s No Kings protests. According to both, President Trump is a king, a fascist, and a tyrant. Velshi began by framing the day’s events not as Trump versus anti-Trump or left versus right but as small-D democrats versus everyone else, “This is not about whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or where you stand on a myriad of important issues. And there are many. This is about are you on the side of democracy and keeping this republic.”   Ali Velshi portrays the No Kings protests as non-partisans versus Trump "This is not about whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or where you stand on a myriad of important issues. And there are many. This is about are you on the side of democracy and and keeping this… pic.twitter.com/auBY9khDzP — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) March 28, 2026   Walsh, who was wearing a “F*ck Trump” shirt, agreed, “Oh, Ali, spot on. This is about are we American or not? I was listening to Ezra and I loved what he said. I'm down here in D.C. outside Arlington Cemetery. We took the Metro down and I can't tell you hundreds and hundreds of people, all of us on the Metro, all ages, all colors, all sizes. And Ali, everybody was smiling. Everybody was high-fiving.” He then echoed Velshi’s monologue earlier in the show where the host referred to Trump as a “tyrant,” claiming, “There is a joy out here in, like, publicly identifying, 'I'm an American. I effing love this democracy.' And Ali, it's like the sense of urgency. You said it at the top. It's here. Trump is a king. He is a fascist. He is a tyrant.” Velshi’s examples of tyranny were quite underwhelming. One example was claiming Trump tried to get ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel pulled off the air. As is tradition for the media, there was no reference to what Kimmel actually said. A second example was the Iran War, which Velshi said was unpopular, but if being unpopular is proof of tyranny, then every politician in America today is a tyrant. Velshi also lamented Trump may do something similar with Cuba while also falsely claiming Trump used ICE to turn cities into police states. As it was, Walsh continued giving MS NOW’s audience what they like to hear, “Ali, I come from the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement abandoned all of those beliefs. And we don't want a tyrant in the White House. But my god, it's here now. And I think that sense of urgency. There actually is the very thing our founding fathers feared is in the White House. And every day we're bombarded with it. Happy warriors, Ali, who all over the country today feel like this country, we've got to save it right now.” If Velshi and Walsh want people to seriously believe that the main political divide in America today is between those who believe in democracy and those who don’t, they should not claim democracy is whatever Velshi’s preferred immigration and foreign policies are. Here is a transcript for the March 28 show: MS NOW Velshi 3/28/2026 10:13 AM ET ALI VELSHI: This is not about whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or where you stand on a myriad of important issues.

Actress Jane Fonda stopped by Friday’s edition of The Briefing with Jen Psaki on MS NOW in an attempt to hype Saturday’s No Kings protests. Naturally, Fonda would paint a dire picture of the state of democracy in America, but her evidence consisted of defeats for liberal budget priorities and false narratives about the erasing of history. Nevertheless, Fonda would also suggest that the state of democracy is so perilous that things are currently worse than they were in the Jim Crow days because now everybody is affected. Psaki led Fonda by misusing the word “all” when she invited her to promote the cause, “I watched your event today. We all watched your event today. And I should note for the audience, you were in Washington, D.C. today speaking outside the Kennedy Center for an event—that's what I'm referring to—in defense of free expression. So tell us about the event and the message you were really trying to get across to people watching.”   Jane Fonda appeared with Jen Psaki last night to say it isn't democracy if Democrats don't get their budget priorities "Well, the attacks on the arts, on literature, on film, on museums, the National Endowment of the Arts, all of these are under attack right now. They're being… pic.twitter.com/k0aJxB5CLK — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) March 28, 2026   Fonda replied by freaking out over “the attacks on the arts, on literature, on film, on museums, the National Endowment of the Arts, all of these are under attack right now. They're being defunded. They're being censored. They're being removed.” Before anyone could object that defunding the NEA is not an attack on the idea of art, Fonda continued, “History, especially racial history. The history of slavery is all being erased now…We worried that people and the press don't see clearly enough the breadth and depth of these attacks.” Not only is Fonda simply incorrect about history being erased, the media has not stopped its efforts to parrot her narrative. Nevertheless, she continued freaking out, “And we have to understand what's happening. This is not normal. This does not happen in a democracy. And we have to call it what it is and we have to end it. We're the Committee for the First Amendment. It's the First Amendment for a reason. It's the most important. It's the cornerstone of all democracies. It's freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and freedom to protest, including the right to criticize our president if we choose. All of this is under attack.” Later, Psaki continued to exalt her guest and her supposed wisdom and expertise, “But just to remind people, during the anti-war and Civil Rights Movements, which were both, of course, very violent, incredibly tumultuous times in our nation's history. But last year, you described the second Trump administration as the most frightening time of your life. Just level set for people. What sets it apart from what you've seen over your lifetime of activism?”   Later, Fonda suggests Trump 2.0 is worse than Jim Crow, "I'm speaking from the vantage point of a white person. I think black people in this country have experienced authoritarianism. I mean, Jim Crow, there were no rights for people who were black. This is the first time in the… pic.twitter.com/kd0Zt2sWAF — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) March 28, 2026   Bizarrely, Fonda seemed to know what she was about to say sounded insane, but she said it anyway, “Well, I'm speaking from the vantage point of a white person. I think black people in this country have experienced authoritarianism. I mean, Jim Crow, there were no rights for people who were black. This is the first time in the history of the United States that an authoritarian regime has broken through. And worldwide, historians who study these things, they all agree it has never happened so fast in any industrialized democracy. He is moving to consolidate very, very fast, which means that right now we have to use the tools we have to stop it.” Like Psaki, Fonda also abused the word “all.” If these self-styled experts on authoritarianism really think that Trump is moving faster than any dictator in history while Fonda promotes her protest movement on national television, then people are right to be skeptical of them. Here is a transcript for the March 27 show: MS NOW The Briefing with Jen Psaki 3/27/2026 9:48 PM ET JEN PSAKI: I watched your event today. We all watched your event today.

The Friday evening newscasts of ABC’s World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Evening News continued their streak of ignoring Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick’s ethics probe as the House Ethics Committee found her guilty of 25 ethics charges. However, the Saturday editions of NBC’s Today and CBS Saturday Morning did manage to ever so briefly acknowledge the scandal’s existence. The same could not be said of ABC’s Good Morning America. CBS’s coverage was limited to the “Eye Opener” segment at the beginning of the show, where reporters rattle off several headlines without further discussion. In this case, one narrator reported, “A Democratic House lawmaker is in hot water, facing expulsion from Congress.”   Albeit very briefly, NBC's "Today" and "CBS Saturday Morning" managed to report on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick being found guilty by the House Ethics Committee and identify her as a Democrat. ABC, not so much. pic.twitter.com/bLRfTisrRv — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) March 28, 2026   Another added, “The House Ethics Committee charged Florida Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick with 25 counts of misconduct” before the original voice added that Cherfilus-McCormick, “Also faces criminal charges for misusing millions of dollars.” Meanwhile, over at Today, during a similar rapid-fire headline reading, co-host Peter Alexander declared, “This headline from Capitol Hill Friday where a special House Ethics Subcommittee found a Florida representative guilty of 25 ethics charges. Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is accused of stealing millions in relief funds and funneling some of it to her campaign. The decision sets the stage for her likely ouster from Congress. Cherfilus-McCormick has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to criminal charges.” While both NBC and CBS managed to identify Cherfilus-McCormick’s party—something that is never guaranteed when the corrupt politician is a Democrat—they still barely covered it. Yet, that was still better than ABC’s total omission. It takes a two-thirds vote to expel someone from the House, and if the networks want to redeem themselves on this scandal, they should have more in-depth reports, including of their congressional correspondents pestering Democrats if they plan to vote to expel her the same way Republicans expelled George Santos.
