It critiques actor Robert De Niro&#8217;s recent appearance on MSNBC, where he expressed strong anti-Trump sentiments and dismissed the views of Trump&#8217;s supporters, whom he referred to as &#8220;those people.&#8221; De Niro accused Trump and his followers of spreading misinformation and predicted that Trump would not leave office after his second term. The piece highlights De Niro&#8217;s support for left-wing politicians and his promotion of fear and unrest among conservatives. The author views De Niro&#8217;s MSNBC interview as incoherent and frustrating, suggesting that the network and its guests lack fairness and journalistic integrity in their coverage of Trump and his supporters.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The college TV station in the small town where I grew up used to hold an annual telethon in early December. Great cause, nearly unwatchable programming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The telethon in its heyday was a 36-hour marathon of tone-deaf Christmas carolers, hippie unicyclists, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >discordant high school rock bands<\/a>, quilting demonstrations, saccharine children&rsquo;s numbers from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/days-of-our-lives-actor-cody-longo-dead-at-34\/\" title=\"\u201cDays of Our Lives\u201d Actor Cody Longo Dead at 34\">local dance studio<\/a>, and lots of awkward interviews with telethon sponsors conducted by sweaty university Communications majors in ill-fitting tuxedos and evening gowns. At 3:30 a.m., literally anyone and anything could end up on local cable access &mdash; including my own discordant high school band.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, MSNBC is like a never-ending campus station telethon. It&rsquo;s unwatchable with no redeeming value. It&rsquo;s only cause: Giving air time to a cavalcade of fire-breathing leftists, the next more crazy than the last. All shouting into the same small echo chamber of viewers who consume the cable &ldquo;news&rdquo; channel&rsquo;s hatred for Donald Trump the same way bent-needle junkies take their drug: deep in their veins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Robert De Niro, like the leftist network he loves, has Trump Derangement smack pulsating through his veins and brain 24-7. So, that makes him qualified to talk politics on MSNBC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>&lsquo;Those People&rsquo;<\/h2>\n<p>The Academy Award winner joined the gang at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/the-weekend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Weekend<\/em><\/a>  Sunday night to share his tinfoil hat thoughts on President Trump, the shutdown, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/violent-symbolism-threats-steal-show-nationwide-no-kings-protests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;No Kings&rdquo; protests<\/a> populated by people who say they are all-in on representative democracy &mdash; at least until someone they don&rsquo;t like gets elected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The guy who has spent most of his life working in the Hollywood bubble and living in the New York bubble lamented that the rubes in &ldquo;fly-over country&rdquo; aren&rsquo;t tuned in to leftist propaganda peddlers like MSNBC. De Niro acknowledged that he was not reaching &ldquo;those people&rdquo; on the liberal cable channel<em>.<\/em> Who&rsquo;s he calling <em>those people<\/em>? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/statistics\/elections\/2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">77.3 million Americans<\/a> who voted for Trump in an electoral butt whooping of the Democrat Party&rsquo;s unqualified stand-in candidate for a senile old man and his autopen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of senile:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re used to seeing Trump do his stuff and they talk and they listen,&rdquo; De Niro said of the MAGA movement. &ldquo;And that&rsquo;s the truth to them because they don&rsquo;t listen to anything else. Somewhere way out in the Midwest somewhere, out west, in certain places, rural places, that&rsquo;s the truth because he [Trump] gets the airtime more.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What kind of airtime is the president getting?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the first 100 days of his second term, the three major broadcast news channels pounded Trump and his administration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-study-shows-mainstream-medias-2024-election-coverage-is-the-worst-in-history\/\" title=\"New Study Shows Mainstream Media&#039;s 2024 Election ... Is the Worst in History\">92 percent negative coverage<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/rich-noyes\/2025\/04\/28\/tv-news-assaults-2nd-trump-admin-92-negative-coverage\">according<\/a> to media tracker NewsBusters. The networks, by contrast, delivered mostly positive coverage (59%) about Joe Biden and his administration over the four years the Democrat was in the White House, NewsBusters reports. The coverage hasn&rsquo;t gotten any fairer for Trump.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>De Niro believes &ldquo;we&rdquo; &mdash; leftist lunatics like him &mdash; &ldquo;need more airtime&rdquo; to &ldquo;push against&rdquo; Trump and &ldquo;those people&rdquo; who voted for him. If only &hellip; the actor sighed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I wish, you can&rsquo;t do this in some ways (big sigh), if the news media could find ways to kind of ignore or tamp down nonsense from Trump, it&rsquo;s just total nonsense,&rdquo; De Niro told his MSNBC pals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;news media,&rdquo; the corporate clowns who have buried whatever journalistic integrity they once had in a shallow grave, do nothing but &ldquo;tamp down&rdquo; news that doesn&rsquo;t fit into their narrative. That tamping, by the way, is what the U.S. government did to facts and opposing viewpoints on everything from the state of our elections to a mass hysteria pandemic during Biden&rsquo;s reign. Have a &ldquo;No Kings&rdquo; rally for that &mdash; the slaughter of the truth over four long years under Democrat control. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>&lsquo;They Have to be More Afraid&rsquo;<\/h2>\n<p>De Niro spent much of his time on MSNBC doing what he has done best in his mob movies: promoting violence. If Republicans don&rsquo;t stop following Trump and start fearing the Marxist mob, they better look out, he warned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Politicians are either going to realize, you face the wrath of Trump or the wrath of the people,&rdquo; the old Jacobin declared. &ldquo;They have to be more afraid of the people and realize this is not good.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;people,&rdquo; or the minority of Americans backing the far left&rsquo;s insurrection, have to keep fighting because, according to the movie star, Trump will not leave the White House when his second term is over. He &ldquo;set it up,&rdquo; De Niro said, with adviser Stephen Miller, whom the actor calls the &ldquo;Goebbels (or Gebbles, as he pronounced Nazi Germany propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels&rsquo; name) of the cabinet&rdquo; and a &ldquo;Nazi.&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/06\/26\/mark-pocan-stephen-miller-00427251\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Miller is Jewish<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>De Niro&rsquo;s heroes?

Gavin Newsom and a litany of Democrats born without a conscience or who lost theirs in the political wars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I like [House Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries ..&nbsp; [Sen. Chuck] Schumer, Adam Schiff, I mean they&rsquo;re all great, strong, I like what [New York Attorney General] Leticia James is doing. She&rsquo;s saying, &lsquo;This is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I&rsquo;m not afraid of him.&rsquo; And God bless her for that,&rdquo; the octogenarian celebrity said. James, who used her office to go after Trump, is facing <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/10\/15\/us-news\/letitia-james-signed-mortgage-doc-at-center-of-her-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">felony charges<\/a> in a real estate case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>De Niro said a lot of things during the long and painful MSNBC interview. Mostly he spoke in broken sentences and repeatedly interrupted his hosts in one rant after the other. I regret having watched this time-filler.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to tell Bob De Niro what the principal and academic decathlon judge from the 1995 Adam Sandler comedy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0112508\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Billy Madison<\/a> disgustedly<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> said<\/a> to the main character:&nbsp; &ldquo;What you&rsquo;ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.&rdquo; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>De Niro on MSNBC made me long for 3:30 a.m. college telethon programming. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Matt Kittle is a senior elections correspondent for The Federalist.
