The late night comedians like to think of themselves as the kind of people who use humor to highlight the absurdities coming from President Trump, but on their Monday shows, all they ended up doing was proving their own ignorance on the matters they chose to talk about. In this case, the subject was Trump’s announcement of a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz after Saturday’s failed negotiations…

On Saturday, MS NOW host Ali Velshi welcomed Prof. Timothy Snyder to his show to discuss President Trump’s Truth Social post from earlier in the week that warned “a whole civilization will die” if Iran did not agree to a ceasefire. According to Snyder, the post could be enough to drag American service members in front of a Nuremburg-like trial on charges of genocide.

For those with a historical memory, what grew to be massive dissent from America’s participation in the Vietnam War arguably began when then-CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite, returned from a trip to Vietnam as war raged during the Lyndon Johnson administration, took to the televised airwaves to say: 

Hide the sharp objects—at least if you take Nicolle Wallace seriously. On Friday’s edition of her Deadline White House, Wallace painted an apocalyptic picture of the situation in Iran—one grim enough to have Trump supporters reaching for the Lexapro—if they believed her.

America is living through a moment difficult to describe without sounding a little unhinged. But here goes: We are watching the United States do things that only the United States can do. In the span of a few days, Americans have watched astronauts push farther into space than any human beings in history, while U.S. forces execute military operations so precise and technologically overwhelming…

Is it true that President Trump’s threats to hit Iranian power plants constituted a potential war crime? According to PolitiFact’s Louis Jacobson, that depends on what day of the week it is. On April 7, Jacobson penned a piece that suggested Fox News’s Jesse Watters was probably correct in saying they would not be given historical precedents in places like Iraq, but Jacobson still refused to…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes are so unfunny, even his liberal audience has trouble laughing at them on occasion. One such example occurred on Wednesday when Kimmel tried to employ the famous comedic reversal technique when he wondered how Iran will negotiate with a bunch of “religious fanatics” who “terrorize their own citizens.” Elsewhere, Kimmel congratulated Trump “for chickening out” on his…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert reacted to the ceasefire with Iran for the first time on Wednesday’s edition of The Late Show and was ready to declare the war a failure. A sarcastic Colbert claimed the only thing the war accomplished was providing President Trump with a distraction from the Epstein files, while his cold open also attempted to throw cold water on the idea that the U.S.…

After Tuesday night’s ceasefire announcement with Iran, Wednesday’s CNN This Morning shifted to suggest President Trump’s words, itself, were a war crime, since he did not bomb Iranian civilians into oblivion on “bridge and powerplant day,” as the media constantly warned in an over-prolonged 30-hour news cycle where news channels implied Trump would do just that. 

Among the…

Despite the liberal media’s hyperbolic chicanery fearing President Trump’s Truth Social post about wiping out Iran if the terrorist regime didn’t agree to a peace plan, Trump’s maximalist position bore fruit as he announced a ceasefire at 6:32 p.m. Eastern. It was worst-case scenario for ABC, CBS, and NBC as the post came out at the onset of their flagship network evening newscasts. ABC’s …
