Budget

In the first episode after CBS announced it would be canceling The Late Show, Stephen Colbert welcomed Sen. Adam Schiff to the program to make the nonsensical claim that Congress passing President Trump’s rescission package, which included cuts to PBS and NPR, showed how Congress is ceding its spending powers to the executive. Additionally, both men would have positive things to say…

As Senate Republicans hold its fate in their hands, PBS’s Amanpour and Company thought it was a good idea to welcome former Clinton Treasury Secretary and Obama economic advisor Lawrence Summers to double and triple down on his previous claim that Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill will kill over 100,000 people.

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was confused on Monday’s The Daily Show why the GOP’s spending reforms in the Big Beautiful Bill would target the areas of the budget where the most money is spent. Together with economic commentator and author Kyla Scanlon, the duo would conclude that it is easier to cut from people than lobbyists.

Today’s installment of legacy media types suggesting that PEOPLLLLE WILL DIEEEEEE as a result of Congress rescinding funding for leftwing propaganda outlets PBS and NPR features CBS’s Margaret Brennan, who in a grotesque twist finds a way to tie imagined rescission-induced deaths to the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at Butler, PA. 

Former CNN host turned podcaster Jim Acosta appeared to suggest on Thursday that, because the president lives at the White House, he is in charge of its plumbing, as he blamed President Trump for the poor working conditions that he worked in when he was a White House correspondent during Trump’s first term.

On his eponymous Sunday show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi voiced agreement with ex-Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin as the embittered ex-Republican trashed the GOP over its deportation policies. She also claimed that 50,000 people a year will die as a result of the Republican budget plan.

For their Tuesday podcast, CNN/PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour and ex-husband/former Clinton official Jamie Rubin warned that Trump’s budget cuts, both foreign and domestic, will get people killed.

As President Trump’s big budget bill neared a crucial vote in the Senate on Monday, PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, covered only one side of a critical part of the bill federal health care spending on Medicare and Medicaid. The sole guest for the segment not only represented a liberal health group, KFF (previously known as the Kaiser Family Foundation), but…

Against a chyron that read “America 249 Years After the Declaration of Independence,” CNN’s Dana Bash welcomed historian Jon Meacham to Thursday’s edition of Inside Politics to promote his new book, which is just an overpriced foreword to the Declaration and the Constitution. Both Bash and Meacham would suggest that this 4th of July, GOP efforts to pass President Trump’s One Big…

HBO’s John Oliver was in a bit of a difficult position for Sunday’s edition of Last Week Tonight. The previous week he suggested that President Trump was on the verge of putting the country into the middle of another Middle East disaster, but that prediction didn’t come true, so he did the best thing he could: hope everyone forgot that he said he would have more to say about that and…

The Legacy Media took turns taking potshots at the One Big, Beautiful Bill in their network evening newscasts. This is in stark contrast to how large Biden-era legislation was covered and serves to remind us that if it weren’t for double standards, there’d be none at all.

On Friday afternoon’s MSNBC’s Chris Jansing Reports, the host lamented over the Trump administration’s decision to shut down the LGBTQ support option on the National Suicide Support hotline.

New York Times columnist David Brooks did the not-so-clever trick of insisting he wasn’t saying what he was indeed saying on Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour as he reflected back on Elon Musk’s time at DOGE by comparing him to Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, and Joseph Stalin.

On Sunday, Speaker Mike Johnson gave CBS’s Margaret Brennan what many considered to be a much-needed education on the House’s Big Beautiful Bill’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program reforms. However, on Thursday, PolitiFact’s Loreben Tuquero asserted that it was Johnson who was the “false” one, although she had to torch a straw man to do so.
