Leavitt Rips MSNBC’s Wallace, CNN Chyron Over Trump Speech Hissyfits
Wednesday’s White House press briefing began with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt touting the findings of a CBS News/YouGov flash poll showing a whopping 76 percent of those who saw President Trump’s Tuesday night address to a joint session of Congress liked what they saw, but also ripping CNN’s Chyron Boy and MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace for their rank liberal bias. And, in the Q&A,…
Network Morning Shows Slog Through Recaps of ‘Partisan’ Trump Speech
On Wednesday morning, it remained evident ABC, CBS, and NBC were still largely uninterested in and almost seemed burdened by having to cover Tuesday night’s address by President Trump to a joint session of Congress. It predictably lacked the ebullience from their takes on Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union, but also the outright hostility from the four speeches in Trump’s first term. …
Whoopi Shouts Down Criticism of Dems, Behar Fears Justice Hand Shake
President Trump’s address to the Joint Session of Congress apparently went so well that the set of ABC News’s The View became a copium den during Wednesday’s episode. So desperate were they to find fault with Trump’s speech that Joy Behar stoked fear of Trump shaking hands with members of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, moderator Whoopi Goldberg shouted down the one ounce of criticism…
Stephanopoulos Battles Speaker on Trump Speech, Gives Dem Softballs
ABC’s Good Morning America co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos held back-to-back exclusive interviews Wednesday with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for reaction to President Trump’s Tuesday night address to a joint session of Congress. To the shock of likely no one, Stephanopoulos badgered Johnson while barely…
Who Ate Your Milk-Bone? New Republic Rages DOGE ‘Could Kill Your Dog’
We thought we had seen it all with the astronomically stupid media takes surrounding Elon Musk and DOGE cutting up the federal government’s credit cards, but lefty magazine The New Republic just potentially one-upped them all.
Trump: ‘Let Us Prepare Our Souls for the Coming Glory of the Easter Miracle’
PolitiFact on SOTU: Trump Gets NINE 'False' Ratings, Biden Gets None
It's natural that "independent fact checkers" would pounce on State of the Union speeches. But it depends on who's president. PolitiFact socked Trump with six "False" ratings and three "Mostly False" for his 2025 speech. But a year ago with President Biden, PolitiFact never ruled Biden was "false"...on anything. They'd say "exaggerated," or "this needs context," or "this merits asterisks." Too…
Kimmel: Kicking Al Green Out Of Trump Speech Gave Johnson An Erection
Being on the West Coast, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel had the ability to react to President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on his Tuesday show. Naturally, Kimmel’s reaction included plenty of insults directed Trump’s way, but he also suggested Speaker Mike Johnson got an erection when he kicked Rep. Al Green out of the chamber for disruptive behavior.
ABC Fawns Over Stephen A. Smith’s Cuomo Interview, Skips COVID
Tuesday on ABC’s Good Morning America, co-host George Stephanopoulos interviewed Stephen A. Smith of ESPN on his interview of disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who launched a comeback by running for mayor of New York City.

CBS, CNN Polls Find Strong Viewer Approval of Trump’s Address to Congress
Not Like Last Year: Sedate Networks Scoff at Trump’s ‘Campaign Rally’
Needless to say, ABC, CBS, and NBC offered far different reactions Tuesday night to President Trump’s address to Congress (think State of the Union, but not granted that title in a president’s first year) than they did in immediately celebrating last year’s partisan State of the Union from Joe Biden. For 2025, they were more lackadaisical in their disdain for Trump’s “intensely partisan” “…
Colbert, Buttigieg Fear For 'Soul of our Nation' After Trump Speech
CBS’s Stephen Colbert stayed up for a live show on what turned out to be Wednesday morning after President Donald Trump’s address to Congress. Colbert spent his monologue praising Rep. Al Green for getting kicked out of the House chamber and attacking Trump on everything from transgender issues to shipbuilding. Later, he would welcome former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to wonder, “…
Scarborough 'Confident' In Future, Biden Will Be Ranked Very Well
On Morning Joe, responding to President Trump in his Joint Address to Congress having called Joe Biden "the worst president in American history," Joe Scarborough says: "I'm quite confident that ten, 20 years from now, when they're ranking presidents, Joe Biden will be doing very well."
Woke of the Weak: Hollywood's Mediocre Standards
The blog criticizes Hollywood's award shows, particularly the Oscars, for celebrating films that audiences may not have even heard of before they receive accolades. It argues that these events are predictable cycles allowing figures in the film industry to celebrate mediocrity with substantial budgets. The post suggests that a few self-appointed cultural elites have lowered industry standards…
