As we’ve documented recently at NewsBusters, CBS’s flagship newscasts have shown little wholesale changes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that we both initially saw and as had been reported. Instead, it’s been more of the same liberal drivel. But ironically, there have been a few moments at NBC where it’s come across as this was the network she actually leads and such was the case on…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert hosted his last-ever live edition of The Late Show in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday as he reacted to President Trump’s State of the Union address, which he labeled “dark.”

Predictably, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was not a fan of President Trump’s Tuesday State of the Union address, but even by his standards, Kimmel went off the rails.

Early Tuesday, America’s new leading family — as in the Hughes klan, including USA Hockey star and gold-medal-winning goal scorer Jack Hughes  — wadded into network morning newscasts and were sadly met on ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today with attempts to sully their reputations and maim both their character and the entire men’s team for taking a phone call Sunday…

Fox News Channel host Greg Gutfeld closed out the A-block of Monday’s The Five with a stemwinder lambasting the insufferable, anti-American left who’ve felt it pertinent to trash Team USA because certain athletes do not appear to share their toxic wokeism, spend their free time attacking President Trump, and base their happiness or misery based on the country’s political situation. …

Both ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned on Monday after a week off to offer up some Olympic-sized hockey hot takes. Kimmel would try to turn the gold-medal-winning women’s team into a symbol of the anti-Trump resistance, while Daily Show host Jon Stewart and this week’s Tuesday-Thursday host Desi Lydic used the opportunity to explain why Canada,…

MS Now’s fun haters at Morning Joe had an interesting recap on Friday of the previous day’s Olympic events, where the U.S. women’s hockey team defeated Canada in a dramatic overtime comeback to win the gold medal, and American figure skater Alysa Liu also took home gold. Forcing politics into sports, ESPN talking head Pablo Torre, the hockey women proved one can cheer on America…

MS NOW Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace had a funny definition of bravery on Monday. According to her, Olympians such as Eileen Gu are “more brave than” most for their criticisms of President Trump. Of course, Wallace forgot to mention that Gu was born in America, but competes for the genocidal, communist dictatorship in China.

One day after the pro-democracy former newspaperman Jimmy Lai was sentenced to two decades behind bars by the brutal, Chinese Communist Party-controlled Hong Kong regime, NBC’s 3rd Hour of Today celebrated Tuesday one of the totalitarian regime’s chief figures of soft power, American-born, educated, and resident Eileen Gu for five minutes of fawning over her gregarious personality and…

As the Winter Olympics kicked off in Italy on Friday, MS NOW’s The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle thought it would be an appropriate time to assemble a panel and examine the United States’ relationship with Europe. In a classic example of clueless news shows informing clueless protestors, progressive comedian John Fugelsang called ICE a “fascist goon squad” and declared it was obvious…

Is it possible just to enjoy a long-cherished international sports tradition without injecting climate scareporn into the mix? Apparently not so for the Gaia-worshipping sub-optimal intellects at The Washington Post.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert did not adequately do his pre-show research on Thursday. During his monologue, The Late Show host hyped Italian politicians demanding ICE “thugs” not be let into the country for security purposes during the Olympics. However, Colbert did not mention the politician using the “thug” label is basically a communist. Later, Colbert would welcome MS NOW’s Jacob…

Despite the Olympic charter mandating that the host country’s head-of-state open the Olympic games, some AI chatbots are pushing the idea that President Donald Trump should break a more than 100-year-old tradition and not open the 2028 Summer Olympics. Why? Because it might offend someone. 

In a sports-heavy Monday segment, Washington Post columnist, ESPN commentator, and professor Kevin Blackistone declared on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House that the state of human rights in the United States is so bad, we are unfit to host the World Cup and the Olympics. Additionally, liberal lawyer Marc Elias attacked Major League Baseball for returning its All-Star Game to…
