Health Care

Continuing to show on Monday an unrivaled level of accessibility among U.S. presidents, President Trump took questions for nearly 42 minutes during a maternal health event and, while most concerned Iran, a USA Today reporter had questions at two different points about the U.S. response to the spread of the hantavirus, tying it to the Trump administration’s departure from the World…

On Thursday’s CBS Mornings, the show promoted a documentary by supermodel Christy Turlington Burns titled “Perilous Passage: Birth in America” that placed blame for maternal mortality on the Dobbs decision that created a post-Roe vs. Wade environment and also echoed other liberal political points. Burns also discussed possible discrimination against black and indigenous mothers.

On Thursday's The Last Word, MS NOW host Lawrence O'Donnell used a selectively edited clip to portray HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a "deeply perverted racist madman" who wants to remove all black children from their parents and have them "reparented" by the government. In fact, the HHS secretary said no such thing.

Not content with Monday’s edition of The Daily Show, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart took to The Weekly Show podcast on Wednesday to continue his Olympic-sized hot takes about Team USA’s gold medal-winning hockey teams, where he also threw in some bad takes about health care in a capitalist system for good measure.

Despite having been painted a picture by the liberal media that the new CBS News would become something akin to MAGA TV, it has been anything but. Wednesday’s CBS Mornings reacted with negative narratives about President Trump’s “contentious” 2026 State of the Union speech, “clash[ing] with Democrats” and painting a supposedly dour economy as strong.

Both ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned on Monday after a week off to offer up some Olympic-sized hockey hot takes. Kimmel would try to turn the gold-medal-winning women’s team into a symbol of the anti-Trump resistance, while Daily Show host Jon Stewart and this week’s Tuesday-Thursday host Desi Lydic used the opportunity to explain why Canada,…

For the latest edition of the left’s “Everything is Racist” campaign, emergency room physician Dr. Adjoa Smalls-Mantey stopped by ABC’s Saturday edition of Good Morning America for its segment on what the chyron labeled “Black History Month & Your Health.” According to Smalls-Mantey, “the very real fact of racism and bias” in healthcare and America at large is one reason for any…

Today The White House announced its healthcare plan. ABC’s World News Tonight was the sole broadcast network nightly newscast to cover the announcement. However, ABC’s coverage consisted of a litany of talking points seemingly aimed at rebutting the announcement, more in line with a Democrat press release.

Following an unscheduled, two-day soft launch thanks to the U.S. military action in Venezuela to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, Monday marked the first official episode of the new CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil that, aside from a teleprompter snafu, came off as refreshingly down-the-middle and normal. One might suggest normal might convey a feeling of boredom or staleness. But…

Many Democrats are now shifting from ObamaCare to support Medicare for All, creating tensions as some worry this move threatens the unified front against expiring ObamaCare subsidies. Progressive candidates are campaigning on Medicare for All in various states, seeing it as a solution to the Affordable Care Act's perceived failures. However, some moderates argue it's politically risky, fearing…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel closed the book on 2025 on Thursday by doing his best imitation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. If Jackson claims she can’t define what a woman is because she’s not a biologist, Kimmel claims that Trump administration officials are out of their depth for claiming that “men are men” and “women are women” because they do not have medical degrees.

Stephen Colbert’s Wednesday cold open for The Late Show not only smeared the Republican Party by claiming their health care policy motto is simply “Kill,” but the CBS host also took House Majority Leader Steve Scalise out of context by omitting his actual beliefs to do it.

PBS’s Amanpour & Co., which is simulcast on CNN International, hosted guest Demetre Daskalakis on Monday’s edition and repped his appearance in an email with the subject line: “‘People Will Die:’ Fmr. CDC Official Warns Against HIV/AIDS Cuts.” Daskalakis resigned as director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases in August. A deeper dive into the…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel continued his crusade against Republicans’ health care ideas on his Thursday show by claiming “everyone wants to choke them” for not doing anything about the expiring Biden-era Obamacare subsidies. When Kimmel did finally acknowledge that Republicans do, in fact, have a plan, he compared it to a woman getting a gynecology exam from a Jiffy Lube.
