Friday’s editions of CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today hyped Disney’s Thursday announcement that they are cancelling a billion-dollar office complex project in Florida as the sort of thing that naturally happens when Gov. Ron DeSantis decides to pick a fight with them. Neither network gave much thought to the possibility that DeSantis had little or nothing to do with the decision…

NBC News used deceptive imagery in an apparent attempt to gloss over an outrageous sexually explicit book being pushed on children. Twitter’s Community Notes participants were having none of it.

NPR makes a nightly joke of its evening newscast title, All Things Considered. On Monday, they aired a completely one-sided press release for a project called "Pride in the Pews," which advocate for the black church that "not only welcomes queer folks, but uplifts and affirms them." The Bible is not a Thing to be Considered. 

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough spread some fake news on Wednesday’s show during a discussion about a Florida teacher being under investigation for showing Strange World, a film that has a gay character.

Our friend, Newsmax host, and former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie opened his Thursday show Carl Higbie Frontline with a scathing takedown over the U.S. Navy’s shoveling of “woke trash” by bringing in a sailor/drag queen in an effort to boost what’s been a dismal stretch of recruitment, saying “the military is not a village people social experiment” and joking it’ll certainly comfort “the…

Acting on behalf of its parental overlords in Ron DeSantis-hating Disney, ABC’s Good Morning America ran a 62-second segment Thursday trashing the Florida Republican governor’s Board of Education for having “expanded the Don't Say Gay bill” that “critics warn...is dangerous” to the lives of students. ABC had a helping hand as Wednesday’s NBC Nightly News also bemoaned the…

At long last, one professional sports league gets it. 

Benjamin “BenDeLaCreme” Putnam of RuPaul’s Drag Race and Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Al Franken not only alleged that Republicans in Tennessee had no idea what they’re talking about when they passed their “insidious” ban on children attending drag shows, but such laws contribute to high suicide rates.

Sorry dude, some hockey players just want to, you know, play hockey.

Thursday’s Good Morning America continued ABC’s smears of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by lamenting he’s “doubl[ing] down” on the “controversial” “Don’t Say Gay policy” as part of his obsession with exacerbating “hot button issues” and “cultural divisions” that pose risk to the mental health of students by not allowing them to explore sex.

They’ve come to be like family to us: the sassy gay next door neighbor, the gruff-but-lovable lesbian gym teacher, the outrageous bearded drag queen with the heart of gold. But according to GLAAD, we’ll face a bleak new TV season missing nearly a third of our beloved LGBT characters.  

Tax-funded PBS NewsHour made clear where it stood on “LGBTQ” issues over two separate segments on two consecutive nights.
