For her first broadcast network interview since officially taking office as White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt ventured into the far-left yet superficial lair of ABC’s Good Morning America, but drew the easiest choice of co-host in former NFL player Michael Strahan as opposed to George Stephanopoulos, who served in her position during the Clinton administration.

During his Tuesday show, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel tried to mock President Trump’s recent executive order regarding the creation of an “Iron Dome”-like missile defense system by claiming Trump has no idea what he is talking about.

On MSNBC's The Weekend, Biden's deputy press secretary at the Pentagon, Sabrina Singh makes repeated mention of the job requiring 24/7 availability--an unsubtle allusion to allegations about Hegseth's drinking history.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell loves spreading fake news about Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth, and on Wednesday she was at it again.

Joni Ernst has betrayed her fellow sexual assault survivors by supporting Hegseth’s…

Comedy Central’s host of the week of The Daily Show, Jordan Klepper, unleashed two clunkers on Tuesday as he reacted to Secretary of Defense-designate Pete Hegseth’s Senate confirmation hearing. First, Klepper chopped off one of Hegseth’s answers mid-sentence to falsely claim Hegseth has flip-flopped and gone woke on women in combat. Second, Klepper claimed that Hegseth’s obsession…

On Tuesday afternoon following Pete Hegseth’s five-hour-and-15-minute-long confirmation hearing to lead the Pentagon, CNN immediately made clear it was not having a good time, continuing to peddle the alcoholism and tattoo conspiracy theories about the “Kavanaugh-esque” Hegseth, suggested he was in over his head, and Democratic senators asked apt and thorough questions.

President emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass had an interesting take on Tuesday’s installment of Morning Joe on MSNBC. Ahead of former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral, he claimed that Carter was actually the “forerunner” to Ronald Reagan.
