Former CNN anchor and self-appointed guardian of the truth Jim Acosta unleashed several bits of fake news in the early moments of his Thursday podcast as he reacted to ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel. Most notably, Acosta claimed that all Kimmel did was call out MAGA for politicizing Charlie Kirk’s murder.

PBS News Hour’s weekly Friday segment with New York Times columnist David Brooks and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart focused exclusively on ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel and the idea that censorship and authoritarianism are big problems. Brooks took a sort of centrist position where he condemned Kimmel and the late night industry as a whole but denounced the suspension, while…

ABC, CBS, and NBC were still enraged on Friday morning and evening over unfunny late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension from ABC over his vile remarks Monday spreading a conspiracy theory about the Charlie Kirk assassination. And once again, they fiddled with a conspiracy theory of their own that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), local TV conglomerates, and the Trump…

Remember that blowout September 2024 jobs report the broadcast networks slobbered over in October just before the presidential election? Well, the government admitted last week to a big whoopsie in configuring the jobs numbers. Sure enough, ABC CBS and NBC were clearly not as keen on letting viewers know they just mindlessly swallowed up what the Biden administration spit out for political…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert freaked out on Thursday’s edition of The Late Show at ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel and downplayed his comments that MAGA was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” but at least he played the clip. The same could not be said of Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and NBC’s…

Longtime University of Virginia professor and increasingly far-left kook Larry Sabato surfaced on Thursday afternoon’s CNN News Central and compared this supposedly dark time in America given the timeout ABC placed Jimmy Kimmel in and President Trump’s ripping of the media alongside the Civil War, the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 and censorship during both world wars.

All of the late night comedians addressed ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday shows, but CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s reaction on The Late Show was especially bad. Not only did Colbert not see any problem in what Kimmel said, but he also teamed up with CNN host Jake Tapper and The New Yorker editor David Remnick to warn about the decay of press freedom in the Trump era.

While in the process of explaining the comedic process to his debate table interlocutor on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, comic and filmmaker W. Kamau Bell did the classic “clown nose on/clown nose off” that is the hallmark of the left-regime comic. That he did it while explaining Jimmy Kimmel’s mendacious Monday bit is pure poetry.

MRC President David Bozell urged ABC to end its relationship with Jimmy Kimmel in an interview Thursday on the NewsBusters Podcast. Referring to Kimmel's claims that Charlie Kirk's killer was a Trump fan, he said “In this instance, when he had every available moment to prepare his own remarks and having vetted his remarks through a writing team, a production team, various producers, and he…

On Thursday, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC had full stories on their flagship morning news shows mourning the indefinite suspension of ABC late-night partisan tool Jimmy Kimmel, bemoaning an alleged conspiracy between the Trump administration and local TV conglomerates to censor a “Trump critic.”

Despite data showing the willingness of the “very liberal” to support violence to achieve political ends, Democrats like Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) deny that calling political opponents “fascists” or “Nazis” or “Hitler” contributes to the “overall problem.” Ryan said: “I actually don’t think it does. I think people are trying to grapple with a really unprecedented time in our country where we’re…

On CNN This Morning, they ran a clip of Rep. Daniel Goldman calling President Trump a "wannabe mob boss" after Jimmy Kimmel's show was suspended by ABC. CNN analyst Meghan Hays warned "We are running dangerously close to state-run media...They're dismantling democracy by doing this." Democracy = equals lying about an assassin?

CNN’s The Lead happened to be on-air as word came that ABC had suspended liberal late-night host Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely following conspiratorial and vile remarks Monday mocking President Trump and conservatives for mourning last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk. Before CNN went nearly wall-to-wall with coverage as though there had been a mass shooting, host Jake Tapper and…

On CNN's The Situation Room on Tuesday, Brian Stelter produced the usual litany about how Trump is "silencing" the "independent" media and that's "dangerous."
