POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

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.

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…

CBS correspondent Adam Yamaguchi unraveled the conspiratorial notion on Friday that President Trump has turned the network into state TV. During a report on Evening News, Yamaguchi ran an uncritical profile that featured a trio of anti-ICE activists and the ways they are trying to thwart the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

The following are the most obnoxious outbursts from journalists and celebrities from the past month.

Thursday marked the day one of Skydance Media’s takeover of Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News, with David Ellison at the helm and his billionaire father Larry as its largest shareholder.

What did she think was going to happen? On Thursday’s CBS Mornings, South Africa-based senior foreign correspondent and raging anti-Israel partisan Debora Patta tried to embarrass U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee over America’s steadfast support for Israel (and lack thereof for “Palestine,” aka Hamas). In the portion shown, it started poorly for Patta from the get-go as she first…

It’s important to remember history so it does not repeat itself, that is, within the right context. On CBS Mornings Plus, hosts Vladimir Duthiers and Adriana Diaz kept pushing the delusional thought that there could be people “trying to colonize” the moon in the style of European colonization of the global south. No, that was not a joke.  

CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s invitation to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to appear on Tuesday’s The Late Show preceded the fleeing of Texas Democrats to that state in the wake of the state legislature’s redistricting efforts, but the developments were impossible for Colbert to ignore. Even Colbert, however, recognized the irony of complaining about gerrymandering to the governor of Illinois,…

So often, the liberal media likes to portray itself as fighting disinformation and fighting for the truth. There is just one problem with that narrative, as Tuesday's CBS Mornings Plus co-hosts Adriana Diaz and Vladimir Duthiers voiced to Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) — they didn’t think there was one objective truth.

On Monday night and Tuesday morning, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to trumpet Texas Democrats fleeing to Illinois, New York, and other blue bastions across the country because Republicans hurt their feelings by wanting to redraw the state’s congressional maps. But in addition to the typical love notes, CBS and NBC went as far as accepting and peddling their spin that…
