Through the first four weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, the late night comedians have told 761 jokes about him. By contrast, in 2021, during President Joe Biden’s first four weeks in office, the late night comedians told a total of 88 jokes about the new chief executive, according to an MRC study.

Actor George Clooney traveled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to promote the stage adaptation of his 2005 movie Good Night, and Good Luck about Edward R. Murrow and McCarthyism. With modern-day politics an obvious backdrop, Clooney urged journalists to be on the “right side of history” even if it “is not fun at the moment.”

Expanding to two hours after the departure of carnival barker Jim Acosta and before being joined next month by Wolf Blitzer to co-host The Situation Room, CNN’s Pamela Brown has kept up the usual partisan chicanery and Tuesday was no exception with a lengthy, 11-minutes-plus battle with Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) that mostly consisted of Brown defending government workers and…

There was a potent and toxic combination of righteous indignation and ignorance oozing from ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg, during Tuesday’s edition of The View. In addition to blaming the crash of a Delta Airlines flight on the runway of an airport in Toronto, Canada on Elon Musk, she demanded to know: when did she give permission to NASA to sign contracts with Musk’s SpaceX?

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s Inside Politics, aviation correspondent Pete Muntean told host Dana Bash that it appeared the Delta Airlines flight that crashed in Toronto on Monday did so due to a landing gear malfunction. He also noted how there is no common thread linking it with other recent plane crashes, but that didn’t stop Bash and her assembled panel from noticing “this…

HBO’s John Oliver kicked off the 2025 season of Last Week Tonight on Sunday by recapping the first four weeks of Donald Trump’s return to the White House that included a bit on Elon Musk and DOGE. Oliver would label Musk as “one of the worst white guys South Africa has ever produced” while ignoring questions about whether South Africa really needs or deserves aid. On Monday, Oliver…

Dear readers, we regret to inform you that the new and by-no-means improved CBS Evening News is at it again. This time, turning an otherwise serviceable report on the disappearance of Washington’s birthday into a vessel with which to take a shot at President Donald Trump.

The ongoing effort to smear the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its related federal job cuts has officially pivoted to the ridiculous. In an over-the-top piece for NBC Nightly News, Senior White House Correspondent Kelly O’Donnell politicizes the firings while completely burying the lede.

On Monday afternoon during an NBC News Special Report, NBC senior correspondent and longtime aviation reporter Tom Costello directly linked Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the Delta Airlines crash in Toronto that, fortunately, all 76 passengers survived (as of this blog’s publication).

For CBS, Sunday marked a day for the ages. Along with Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan having engaged in a new act of political masochism and shamelessly peddled a pants-on-fire lie that free speech caused the Holocaust, 60 Minutes not only embraced Germany’s criminalizing of dissent as a model, but tried to convince the populous to commiserate with government workers in…

In a pre-recorded episode of ABC’s The View, the liberal ladies celebrated Presidents Day Monday by being “mad as hell” about President Trump’s executive orders and commiserating on ways to help the “resistance” to stop spinning its wheels. Together, they threw around empty buzzwords about the need to “build community support,” look at “how they're communicating,” how they “need to…

Is it news? Or is it political advertising? On Friday afternoon, CNN's Brianna Keilar promoted anti-gun activists Manuel and Patricia Oliver on the seventh anniversary of the Parkland school shooting. CNN displayed them disturbing the peace, yelling at a Biden gun-control event and at a congressional hearing.

The results of the Worst Media Take of the Week are in and the winner is….

It is not coincidental that mere days after Vice President JD Vance went into the Munich Security Conference and denounced European censorship regimes, CBS’s 60 Minutes would air a report extolling the virtues of German censorship. The report filed by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi makes sure to highlight prosecutors who go after memeposters as defenders of civility.
