Reporting live Thursday from the Vatican ahead of Saturday’s funeral mass for Pope Francis, CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson ended the show with a veiled hit on President Trump as a contrast to Pope Francis and other Catholic leaders as the former (using the catch-all phrase “American politics”) embraces “flash and hubris” while the other show humility and love.

The Wednesday edition of The Jim Acosta podcast saw the reunion of two of CNN’s most insufferable former hosts as Don Lemon joined the eponymous host to preview Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner. During their discussion, Lemon attacked “the freedom of speech” crowd for cancelling comedian Amber Ruffin and cited his own experience at being grilled by the dinner's comedian as…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is a big basketball fan, so to put Thursday’s show in basketball terms, he went up for a dunk attempt on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth only to slip, fall, and faceplant.

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

The liberal media is mega-mad at "MAGA media" in the White House. Politico’s Ian Ward profiled these invaders under the headline “Meet the 8 MAGA Outlets Disrupting the White House Briefing Room.” Then came CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, who loves to wade into MAGA crowds trying to find the dumbest-sounding Trump supporter. In this case, he went looking for the dumbest-sounding White House reporter…

It happened again: an illegal alien, having settled in Maryland since crossing the border, committed a heinous and barbaric crime. And once again, the ‘Legacy Media” bite their collective tongues so as to avoid the indignity of having to report an inconvenient story.

Wednesday’s PBS News Hour fretted over the “wrongful deportation” of the media’s favorite Maryland resident, illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, back to El Salvador, and suggested that it's unconstitutional not to give every illegal immigrant a trial before deportation.

Thursday was apparently a slow day for the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View since they occupied their first segment by hyperventilating about people who expected former First Lady Michelle Obama to show the office of the president respect and attend President Trump’s second inauguration. The View cast were eager to blame it on sexism and suggested women uniquely had to deal…

Thursday’s CBS Mornings Plus featured a remarkable segment about a new book from reporter David Zweig about the wholly political behavior and unscientific actions of keeping schools shuttered long-term during the Covid pandemic, perpetuated by so-called public health experts, certain politicians, and teachers unions. Co-host Tony Dokoupil showed disgust with this period of time and…

Before basketball’s 24-second rule, there was a tactic called freezing the ball. The team that was ahead would attempt to run out the clock by holding onto the ball as long as it could to deny the opposing team an opportunity to score. That looks like what Iran is again doing – “freezing” negotiations while finishing the final stages of nuclear enrichment on the way to building a deliverable…

PolitiFact editor-in-chief Katie Sanders is still decrying Meta Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to break up with the fact-checking companies, so, on Thursday, she wrote an article using the death of Pope Francis to argue he supported their work.

Navy veteran Zachary Young filed a defamation suit against U.S. News & World Report on Wednesday, the third such defamation suit filed after his trial victory against CNN in January. In the complaint filed with Florida’s 14th Judicial Circuit in Bay County, Young alleged that U.S. News had defamed him by way of republishing the same Associated Press article he recently sued them for.

Professor and podcaster Christina Greer and MSNBC Prime host Alicia Menendez had what could only be described as an epic meltdown on Wednesday. As the White House has started kicking around various ideas to reverse declining birthrates, the duo insisted that “we know” that their actual intention is to increase the political power of white people.

Jason Horowitz, the New York Times’ Rome bureau chief and passionate fan of the late Pope Francis (he loved to cast opponents of the late pontiff’s political proclamations into the outer darkness as “archconservatives” or “ultraconservatives”) made Wednesday’s front page off-lead slot with another story to accompany his official obituary for Pope Francis: “As Ears Closed, Pope…
