WALLACE: "We hate to do this, really, but the President isn't telling the truth. These allegations against Joe Biden and Hunter Biden that he’s repeating have been investigated by the Ukrainians.

KURTZ: "Her factual point was correct, but couldn't a former Bush White House aide have waited until at least the President had his say before unloading on him? MSNBC then went back to then presser and when Trump yielded floor to Mike Pompeo, Wallace broke in again."

WALLACE: "Whatever is coming out of the White House is not coming from the President because what he’s disseminating are lies, attacks and deflections."
KURTZ: "Remember, this is daytime news coverage by a news network. Look, I don’t care if Nicolle Wallace wants to attack Trump every single day, she's an opinion person, but at this press conference there wasn’t even the pretense of fairness by MSNBC.
