CBS’s Stephen Colbert had an emergency and unscheduled interview with former USAID Administrator Samantha Power on Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show in an attempt to save the agency from President Donald Trump.

FIVE Reasons to Defund 'Public' Broadcasting
Now that Republicans have control of Congress and the White House and Trump’s “government efficiency” czars are looking hard at slicing the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), it bears repeating: “public broadcasting” is not serving the public. It serves a narrow slice of America, an audience of wealthy liberal elites.
BRUTAL: Dem Anti-Musk Protest Gets Laughed Off of CNN’s ‘Thunderdome’
When you as a liberal Democrat have lost CNN’s Abby Phillip and your protest gets LITERALLY laughed at live on CNN air, it may be a sign that your ability to influence coverage of the day’s events is waning.

PBS Hosts Beinart's Hamas Apologia: Jews Not Always Virtuous Victims
Amanpour & Co. invited rabidly anti-Israel voice Peter Beinart to discuss his latest screed of a book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza.

Column: Team Stelter's Hopelessly Devoted to Ruining Trump
Brian Stelter is back in his CNN comfort zone, penning those punchy sentences about “Trump’s history of bullying media companies.” It’s as if he cannot conceive of the opposing view, as in “the legacy media’s history of bullying Donald Trump.” They’ve played rough -- seeking to destroy his political career, bankrupt his businesses, and even put him in jail for years
NBC, ABC Remain Bitter Over DOGE Obliteration of USAID

The 11th Hour’s Post-Inaugural Pity Party ‘Therapy Session’ Never Ends
Ever since the inauguration two weeks ago, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle has apparently had little else to do with her time but complain bitterly about virtually every step the new Trump Administration took.

Jake Tapper Lets Dem Senator Spew Anti-Musk ‘Heil Hitler Salute’ Hoax
Following their being found liable for defamation in January, CNN proclaimed in a statement that they “will of course take what useful lessons we can from this case.” But during Monday’s edition of The Lead, host Jake Tapper once again found himself embroiled in controversy when he refused to strongly push back on Democratic Senator Chris Murphy (CT) after he peddled the long-debunked…
Pants on Fire: ABC Airs INSANE Segment Defending DEI as ‘Merit-Based’
ABC’s Good Morning America aired Monday possibly the most deceitful and glossy depiction of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs as “merit-based,” a continuation of the civil rights movement “levelling the playing field,” and creating “equitable outcomes.” DEI does not, they insisted, have anything to do with hurting one group of people or giving prominence to those…
Dem Wishcasting On CNN: Trump Base Will 'Turn Quickly' Against Him
On CNN This Morning, DC lobbyist Jonathan Kott, a former aide to Senators Coons and Manchin, predicts that Trump supporters will give him six to eight months, but then "turn quickly" on him when the improvements in their lives he promised don't materialize.

After MRC Pressure, Newsweek Heavily Edits ‘Trans’ Murderer Puff-Piece
Last week, Newsweek received heavy criticism online for publishing a tone-deaf, sympathetic piece about a convicted rapist and murderer, which conspicuously omitted several of the most gruesome details about his crimes.
