POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

PBS’s Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour showed off her anti-Israel bona fides in a novel way on Thursday, inviting on to her international affairs talk show not a foreign diplomat or dignitary, but "Ms. Rachel," a creator of educational videos for children, with a big helping of Hamas-adjacent propaganda. Of course, Amanpour doesn’t portray her that way but introduces her as…

At the end of Friday's Washington Week with The Atlantic on PBS, moderator Jeffrey Goldberg brought up "something very strange happened at the White House this week, we had a little bit of a president on the roof situation." But something else very strange happened. Liberal reporters said Trump's second term is "way more effective" than the first. 

A Fox News Sunday interview on redistricting turned uncomfortable for New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Faced with the possibility of common ground with socialist candidate for Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani, Hochul accused his interview of “whitewashing” the differences between them.

MSNBC's The Weekend, in a segment devoted to stalking fears of autocracy and fascism in Trump's America, has as a guest Jason Stanley, who gave up his job as a Yale professor and fled to Canada,  “entirely because of the political climate in the United States.”

On CNN, Dana Bash demonstrated what passes for an “interview” of prominent elected liberal on State of the Union. Her chat with Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders had all the tone and gravitas of a celebrity interview, right down to the theater venue most commonly associated with movie stars.

Former ABC News political director Mark Halperin interviewed Washington Post “Fact Checker” Glenn Kessler after his final “fact check.” Halperin honed in on one of Kessler's most controversial recent checks, going after the New York Post for overplaying Joe Biden meandering off to talk to a parachutist.

The standard in what passes for elite legacy media doing their jobs is so eroded that we’ve almost allowed ourselves to cheer when they do something as rudimentary as ask a Democrat politician a question that might seem just a teensy bit uncomfortable.

On MSNBC's The Weekend, former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg accuses Ed Martin, recently appointed by AG Pam Bondi to investigate possible financial fraud by Adam Schiff and Letitia James of "bias." She ignores the blatant bias of Schiff, who was the lead prosecutor in the first House impeachment of Trump, and of James, who ran for office on a pledge of going after Trump.

Lame duck comedian Stephen Colbert went on a tirade against President Donald Trump’s tariffs and heralded the supposedly impending doom of skyrocketing prices, and ended up beclowning himself in the process.

PolitiFact is hyper-aggressive in “fact checking” Donald Trump, with eight “checks” over the last 30 days and four of them “Pants On Fire” denunciations. On Friday, they slapped a “Mostly False” on this presidential post on Truth Social: “Promises kept: negative net migration (in the U.S.) for the first time in 50 years!”

The 2026 midterm elections are still over a year away, but CBS White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe is already looking past that to 2028. On CBS Saturday Morning, O’Keefe traveled to Iowa for a friendly profile of Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego amid speculation he might run for president. O’Keefe would both marvel over Gallego’s ability to speak Spanish and ignore that Gallego wasn’t…
