Culture
Put three liberal late night talk shows in one room, and what do you get? A lot of political hate. That’s what happened at the 11th Annual Stand Up for Heroes benefit, according to The Daily Beast.

New Republic Writer: Franken’s ‘Devastating Wit’ Could Hurt Trump

For a narrower role -- congressional Dems’ chief Trump-mocker -- Graham Vyse nominates another senator, Al Franken.

NYT TV Critic Dances Around Why Larry Wilmore's Unfunny Show Failed
New York Times liberal TV critic Mike Hale found every excuse for the cancellation of left-wing comic Larry Wilmore’s Comedy Central show save the obvious one.
