Political Groups

On Sunday morning, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria re-aired an April 6 primetime special with the not-so-subtle title of The War on Government, which purported to be a history lesson on the conservative movement’s frustration with Republican politicians’ unwillingness or inability to shrink the government going back to President Dwight Eisenhower, which has culminated in DOGE’s blunt-force…

The trio of PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to have it both ways on Friday. The three men attacked the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill for its negative effects on the deficit, but also its spending cuts, meaning PBS either wants to raise most people's taxes, but is too…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel continued his attacks on Republicans and their spending bill, called the Big Beautiful Bill, on his Wednesday show. While Kimmel repeated many of the misleading talking points he issued on Tuesday, this time he added his amazement that Republicans also go to church.

CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel both dishonestly attacked House Republicans’ tax and spending bill on their Tuesday shows by leaving out crucial context for at least three talking points that made the proposal sound both reckless and “heartless.”

After Monday’s regularly scheduled episode of The Daily Show, Comedy Central aired a follow-up Jordan Klepper: Fingers the Pulse special where Klepper went around trying to figure out why young people, and especially young men, have drifted right. As part of his solution for liberals, he promoted Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and his love of anime boobs, but not the terrorists…

Some days, CBS’s Stephen Colbert is so far out in left field that it can’t all fit in one article. Thursday’s edition of The Late Show was one such occasion. Before he lamented the state of the nation with Sen. Bernie Sanders and flirted with tropes about Jewish financial power, Colbert would rant about the GOP’s proposed budget, claiming they “can eat a bag of [bleep]” for their…

The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour joyfully welcomed the election of Pope Leo XIV on Friday as they tried to claim him as one of their own as all hailed him as the anti-Trump figure the country needs, but all also avoided any parts of Leo that might make them uncomfortable.

The irony was impossible to miss on Tuesday’s edition of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, as MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow joined the eponymous host to declare on one hand that the worst predictions about President Donald Trump have come true, but also that he and Republicans seek to get rid of elections.

Over the next couple of years, the late night comedy shows will become a stomping ground for 2028 Democratic presidential hopefuls and on Thursday, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel helped kick start that process by welcoming Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to the show. Together the two would implicitly accuse Republicans of racism by claiming they “know full well” Abraham Lincoln would be a Democrat today and…

Former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki joined CBS’s Stephen Colbert on The Late Show on Wednesday for three segments full of loathing President Trump and his “fire hose of dirty water” and “do-nothing Democrats” like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

NBC’s Seth Meyers gave another one of his odes to the far-left faction of the Democratic Party on Monday’s edition of Late Night as he demanded others in the party fall in line behind them because they are allegedly “doing [bleep].”

Professor and podcaster Christina Greer and MSNBC Prime host Alicia Menendez had what could only be described as an epic meltdown on Wednesday. As the White House has started kicking around various ideas to reverse declining birthrates, the duo insisted that “we know” that their actual intention is to increase the political power of white people.

Over there on this very site, NewsBusters’ own Alex Christy had a sharp-eyed focus on a curious moment on a recent episode of Stephen Colbert’s late night CBS show. 

In March, ABC’s nominal funny man Jimmy Kimmel sat down with Rolling Stone’s Stephen Rodrick for a wide-ranging interview that was published on Tuesday and naturally touched on Kimmel’s place in the Trump era. Among other things, on America’s ability to “do the right thing,” Kimmel mourned, “That’s obviously in the past.”
