On Tuesday, CNN published an article of debatable accuracy alleging that Saturday’s B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not as successful as President Trump and other administration officials have claimed. However, CBS’s Stephen Colbert wasn’t interested in the nuances of underground nuclear facility bomb damage assessment on The Late Show because if he was, he would not…

The rapidly fleeting shelf-life of the half-cocked doomist agitprop from lefty outlets like The New York Times desperate for an anti-Trump banger of a story is comedic gold in its own right. 

CNN/PBS host Christiane Amanpour and her ex-husband Jamie Rubin are among the top media personalities whose Israel-Iran hot takes look especially silly after President Trump announced a ceasefire on Monday. On their The Ex Files podcast recorded earlier that day, Rubin would claim “extremists” in the U.S. and Israel use Iran’s “death to America” sloganeering to justify a hard line…

After some uncertainty Tuesday morning, it appears the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is holding, which means that there were plenty of previously recorded anti-Trump hot takes from the late night comedy shows on Sunday and Monday that aged rather poorly.

The debate over the commander-in-chief’s powers versus the U.S. Congress’s has increased following President Trump’s Operation: Midnight Hammer airstrikes on Iran. On Monday, CBS Mornings Plus invited Colorado’s Democratic Congressman Jason Crow to push Congress to claw back their authority to authorize military strikes, but was this motivated by who the sitting President was?   

Talk about getting Jim Cramered. The Atlantic’s pompous loudmouth of a staff writer David Frum committed an unforced error by publicly showcasing how he literally knows nothing about the Trump Doctrine on military strategy or foreign policy.

Hop in the time capsule and set the calendar for the 1930’s. Specifically set the date for September 21, 1930 and then pick up the New York Times. Here’s the headline in the Times that day, replete with the Times-provided capital letters. 

President Trump recently announced that he would give Iran two weeks to agree to a diplomatic solution on its nuclear program before considering whether or not to join Israel’s campaign against it. On Friday’s edition of NBC Nightly News, Andrea Mitchell platformed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to trash the idea.

As President Trump continues to consider his options on whether or not to join Israel’s campaign against Iran, Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast host Jon Stewart expressed confusion on Thursday on why Israel doesn’t just accept that we live in a world full of risk.

PBS’s Christiane Amanpour sat down with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi on Tuesday to get his perspective on the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, but Amanpour’s usual mantra of being “truthful, not neutral” mostly took a back seat as she never challenged him on the regime’s anti-Semitic, eliminationist rhetoric or his rewriting of Iran-Iraq War history.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is not a military expert, but he does try to play one on TV. Having previously shown a stunning lack of basic knowledge on how missiles work in order to try to dunk on President Trump’s Golden Dome idea, Kimmel was back at it again on Tuesday, claiming that deploying National Guard and Marine units to Los Angeles has left Trump “in a tough spot” as he weighs his options on…

The New York Times is still force-feeding its readers agitprop that the long-awaited inflation Armageddon it's been hawking for months is still nigh. That’s despite a bevy of welcome economic news in recent weeks that has defied the retrospectively stupid predictions of President Donald Trump’s most pompous critics still high on their bloated egos.

It’s one of the most amusing aspects of MRC Business’s day-to-day routine when staff watch liberal media talking heads forced to eat crow over their blind adamancy that President Donald Trump is going to wreck the economy. CNBC senior economics reporter Steve Liesman is the latest to be found wearing the clown nose.

The New Yorker executive editor Michael Luo recently came out with a book chronicling the history of Chinese-Americans, and on Monday, he went on PBS’s Amanpour and Company to talk about it. During his discussion with Walter Isaacson, Luo would warn that talking about China as a threat in a foreign policy context could lead to the growth of “racial suspicion.”
