Colbert Mocks Trump Allowing Federal Workers To Discuss Religion

The Trump administration recently put out a memo that says that federal employees should be allowed to talk about their religion at work, so naturally CBS’s outgoing host of The Late Show, “devout Catholic” Stephen Colbert, mocked the idea as provocative and even had a fake argument with keyboardist Corey Bernhard about whether to serve Moloch.

Abdicating Accountability? ABC’s The View Ditches Legal Notes in 2025

In 2022 when NewsBusters first counted the legal notes being delivered by ABC’s The View, we found that they were forced to issue exactly three dozen (36) of them.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber, on his show The Beat Monday, hosted FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez to speak out against the recent Paramount-Skydance merger.

NPR Offers a Puffy Platform for Mayor Pete, Unlike Their Bannon Banter

On Wednesday’s Morning Edition, NPR host Steve Inskeep interviewed potential 2028 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.
