Sexism

If there’s one thing The Daily Show’s Desi Lydic hates, it is Republican politicians putting the integrity of women’s sports above “reproductive rights” on their agenda. After President Donald Trump issued an executive order to that effect, Lydic took the Comedy Central airwaves on Thursday to label the whole thing a “performance.”

The cast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live has an unintentionally funny definition of a king. On the most recent episode, James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump character touted his executive orders on DEI and Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense as evidence of Trump’s “king era.”

Historian Allan Lichtman may be the media’s favorite election prognosticator. Prior to November, he had correctly predicted nine of the last ten presidential elections correctly, only missing George W. Bush’s narrow 2000 win. Therefore, when he predicted a Kamala Harris victory, media giants, like…

Thursday’s New York Times story by Lisa Lerer and Jess Bidgood was a 1,500-word excuse-making lament over Kamala Harris’s embarrassing loss to Donald Trump, “Will the U.S. Ever Be Ready for a Female President?” Trump's win "has only deepened anxieties over gender bias and prompted a fresh round of debate over the electability of women to the nation’s highest office."

CBS’s Stephen Colbert may fancy himself as a comedian, but basic journalistic standards such as accuracy still apply to him and his jokes. However, The Late Show host used his Tuesday show to spread fake news about Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth as Hegseth attempted to defend himself against a media that continues to spread disinformation about his views on women in the…

Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth correctly called the media out on Monday for lying about his past comments about women not serving in combat in order to suggest he looks down upon women serving, belittles their service, or that he even opposes their inclusion in the military. However, CNN Newsroom host Jim Acosta welcomed Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed to…

CBS Saturday Morning’s has recently taken it upon itself to deliver gushing interviews of liberal heroes. First there was actress Jane Fonda, then there was Clinton strategist James Carville. This Saturday it was author Margaret Atwood’s turn, and co-host Michelle Miller was there to help her affirm the idea that the conservative-imposed dystopia she wrote about in The Handmaid’s Tale is no…

During the Monday edition of ABC’s The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin made it obvious that they wanted to take their ball and go home three weeks after Donald Trump became president-elect for the second time. The sore losers suggested the election results proved that America hated the existence of black women and that the election supposedly happened without…

On her Wednesday show, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell spread misinformation by suggesting Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth opposes the existence of female military pilots, thereby disrespecting those women who have suffered greatly in service to their country. On Thursday, instead of issuing a correction, Mitchell doubled down and repeated the claim.

The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper managed to mangle not one but two ramifications of President-elect Donald Trump nominating Army veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. First, Klepper gave a false impression of what Hegseth meant when he said women should not be in combat roles, and second, he claimed the first false impression means that “in Trump’s America…

Ever since President-elect Donald Trump made the surprising announcement that he intends to nominate veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense, the media has tried to portray him as a troublesome right-wing culture warrior. However, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell took things one step further on Wednesday as she spread straight up fake news about Hegseth.

The passage of a few days to allow for more mature reflection after Election Day has not affected Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Capehart attributed Donald Trump’s victory to “racism and sexism” and a list of other horribles that the country refuses to acknowledge.

On her Thursday show, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner decried the fact that when women get married, their support for Republicans goes up. Not only that, Wagner claimed that such voting patterns show a disregard for “their black and brown sisters,” whose lives are supposedly threatened by the GOP.

With his usual amount of pretentiousness and faux solemnity, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell kicked off Wednesday’s edition of The Last Word by attempting to wax poetic about how Frederick Douglass would have supported Kamala Harris and how “some white men” do not share his belief that a woman can be president of the United States.
