Conspiracy Theories

NBC’s Late Night host, Seth Meyers, and Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon, both used their Wednesday shows to promote conspiracy theories that President Trump will try to cancel, nullify, or in some way steal the upcoming midterm elections.

ABC’s “bona fide news program” The View engaged in some pretty serious alarmism on Wednesday, when co-host Ana Navarro predicted the Russian plague causing mass deaths across America because of the Trump administration. Clearly concerned about The View being accused of causing a national panic, moderator Whoopi Goldberg tried to walk back their doomism. However, Goldberg would later engage in…

Sometimes the madness that is ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! cannot be confined to one article. After Kimmel spread fake news about President Trump wanting Iran to destroy Los Angeles and San Diego on Tuesday, he endorsed the idea of making actor Robert De Niro president after he called Trump “a [bleep] piece of [bleep].” Kimmel then endorsed singer and songwriter Phil Collins’s idea to write a song…

Despite an exhaustive investigation that turned up no evidence of a crime in the death of Nolan Wells, a black 18-year-old Mississippian, CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish can't stop stirring the racial pot. On Tuesday's episode, Cornish cited social media on other deaths of young black people and used them to keep the Wells story sounding unsolved. 

On Monday, four days after getting threatened with a defamation suit for erroneously suggesting a group of Mississippi teenagers engaged in a race-motivated murder of their black friend, ABC News co-host Sunny Hostin proclaimed she had sent her kids to a racist private school. Hostin’s claims came during a conversation about race baiter Nikole Hannah Jones regretting sending her daughter to a…

Mississippi teenagers Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour reportedly threatened The View’s Sunny Hostin with a defamation lawsuit if the ABC News co-host didn’t walk back and make amends for allegedly defamatory statements she made against them. The legal threat pertained to comments Hostin delivered on the July 14 episode during their conversation about the mysterious death of black…

While claiming “I don’t do alarmism,” MS Now’s Lawrence O’Donnell opened up Tuesday’s The Last Word, with what felt like an unskippable advertisement instead of a “news show,” for a new book titled The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy by Gil Durán. He kicked off the show with the new version of the climate change scare, that same old idea that we were going to die in…

ABC and Disney have maintained that The View was a “bona fide news program” that operated in the public interest. Co-host Joy Behar made it harder for the network to make that argument to the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday, after she suggested that President Trump has had sex with animals and that it was somehow tied to the FBI lowering their hiring standards.

Former Trump attorney-turned professional anti-Trump conspiracy theorist Ty Cobb returned to CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront on Monday to once again raise the possibility that Republicans will simply steal the midterm elections by refusing to give up power if they lose. While there were no Nazi insults this time, Burnett and Cobb were still forced to retreat to the world of the wildly hypothetical…

To counter the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, Democrats have sent a contingent of their own to the state. One of their leaders is Governor JB Pritzker, who has a habit of accusing President Trump of suffering from dementia, something he's done several times on CNN, including during Wednesday's The Arena, where he again went unchallenged.

While noting “the razor-thin margins in the House of Representatives” during Wednesday’s The Situation Room, CNN targeted Republican congressional nominee and GunTuber Brandon Herrera with a smear campaign. While whining about Herrera making jokes about “fat” and “blue-haired” feminists, the leftist network grossly suggested that Herrera’s brand of comedy supposedly meant that he shared…

I’ve Had It co-host Jennifer Welch went on a tour de force of venom early Tuesday by, in less than 15 minutes, asserting she and her viewers care more about Vice President JD Vance’s children than he does, deemed it “Islamophobia” to call out Abdul el-Sayed’s deleted tweets about 9/11, insisted Republicans “don’t give a shit” about veterans, and smeared evangelical Christianity as “weird-ass…

In her first video Monday morning for her podcast I’ve Had It, the genuinely horrible Jennifer Welch argued senior White House aide Stephen Miller doesn’t “give a shit about kids with cancer,” that Republicans like Miller and Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (R-OK) do not possess “one redeemable quality” as human beings, and that Donald Trump could cancel the next set of elections to be more like…

On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke at the “Defend The Vote” protest in Washington, but instead of taking issue with the premise that voter suppression is real, MS NOW On The Line guest host Eugene Daniels brought in journalism professor Jason Johnson to claim Democrats need to be tougher against “this kind of extreme white nationalist, authoritarian regime.”
