This satirical blog critiques Politico's efforts to market “movement” as a term to describe Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. Michael Kruse of Politico is tasked with promoting this concept, albeit with apparent mockery. The blog lampoons various Democratic strategists who liken Harris to figures like JFK and FDR, highlighting the absurdity of their comparisons. Ultimately, the article…

If new legislation becomes law in Canada, citizens there could go to jail simply for exercising free speech against leftist dogma on social media platforms.

Jon Stewart wrapped up The Daily Show’s week of coverage of the Democratic National Convention with a live episode on Comedy Central on Thursday where he promoted the idea that Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech proves “she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that's been painted.” Later in the program, actor Jason Bateman would narrate a promo video for Harris, where he argued she…

For the late night comedy shows, the week of the Democratic National Convention provides the hosts with an opportunity to prove that they can make fun of Democrats in the same way they attack Republicans. However, a new MRC study shows they failed to do so this past week. In terms of quantity, the comedians hold 113 fewer jokes than they did during the RNC and 60 fewer jokes about Kamala…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert wrapped up his week of live shows from Chicago on the final night of the Democratic National Convention by hyping Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech as “everything we've been waiting for.” To cap it all off, he welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for some additional party promotional material.

Immediately following Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech to round out Night Four of the Democratic National Convention, CNN host Jake tapper beclowned him again by essentially proclaiming it the best speech delivered by anyone in all time. He was then followed up by CNN host Abby Phillip who ridiculously claimed Harris was “misunderstood politically” and was really just a pragmatic centrist…

After Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president on Wednesday, CBS’s Stephen Colbert reacted on a live edition of The Late Show by claiming that day three of the DNC was “another powerful evening” that “was about remembering that America is good and that we shouldn't give in to hopelessness.”

NBC’s Seth Meyers reacted on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night to former President Barack Obama’s speech to the Democratic National Convention by claiming that “the best Obama is stand-up Obama” as he reveled in Obama’s jab at Donald Trump’s crowd sizes, which was a euphemism for saying Trump is “bad at sex.”

The Daily Show’s temp host of the night, Desi Lydic, sought Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood’s help on Tuesday’s show from Chicago and night two of the Democratic National Convention as she tried to make sense of GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s supposed “anti-woman rhetoric.”

The broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC wear vibing during Night Two of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, letting themselves be swept up in the “ecstasy” of the “dance party” that occurred during the fake roll call vote to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris. They let their façade of objectivity slip as they lost themselves in the nirvana of being surrounded by people who…

Downplaying the backroom deals that had Democratic Party delegates pledge themselves to Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee long before the Democratic Nation Convention’s Night Two proceedings, CNN anchors Jake Tapper (a former party operative turned “journalist”), Dana Bash, and Abby Phillip cheered on the fake and theatrical roll call vote that took place in prime time Tuesday night…

A self-described “fearful” Michael Kosta welcomed Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to Monday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central on night one of the Democratic National Convention from Chicago to implore her and other Democrats to have a long-term strategy against Donald Trump.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a live edition of The Late Show early Tuesday morning in Chicago to recap night one of the Democratic National Convention. Together, the duo would hail President Joe Biden’s “patriotic” decision to step aside after the party brass forced him out.

Once again, CNN summoned Daniel Dale for a fact-check of a presidential speech. And, once again, Dale showed his reluctance to fact-check Joe Biden- choosing to check economic data instead of some of the incendiary and easily refutable hoaxes amplified during his DNC swan song.
