Because ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel tapes his show in Los Angeles, he was able to react to President Trump’s Tuesday announcement that he has agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Kimmel echoed many on the left when he described the announcement as “the TACO Tuesday of all TACO Tuesdays”—TACO meaning “Trump always chickens out”—despite Trump doing what he claimed he wanted.

With all of the media talking about President Trump’s latest threats directed towards Iran’s bridges and power plants, former Meet the Press anchor Chuck Todd joined former CNN reporter and the eponymous host of the So What with Chris Cillizza podcast on Tuesday to suggest that while Americans are worried about Iran getting nuclear weapons, they should be more concerned with…

Trying to juxtapose President Trump talking about the war with Iran with the setting of the White House Easter Egg Roll, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel urged his viewers to imagine the new ayatollah laughing at the “lunatic” Trump while watching him stand next to a guy in a bunny suit. The only problem was that Kimmel did not mention the clip he played of Trump was about the U.S. military rescuing the…

The trio of PBS News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz, The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks, and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart appeared ready to pronounce defeat on Friday as they juxtaposed President Trump’s Iran speech earlier in the week to the day’s news that saw an American F-15 and Black Hawk helicopter go down in Iran.

PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour kicked off her Thursday show by suggesting remarks President Trump made in his Wednesday address on Iran have made ordinary Iranians angry at him. However, Amanpour provided no evidence for that, and it is likely she was just parroting various regime hacks she saw on X, which is otherwise banned for ordinary Iranians.

ABC’s Good Morning America had the sensibility Thursday to do the opposite of what they did Wednesday in leading with — and not burying — the NASA launch of Artemis II on a ten-day trip to slingshot around the moon, but that’s where the compliments cease as, like Wednesday, Thursday’s show had plenty of anti-Trump hate. This time, it concerned Trump’s address to the nation the night…

Former CNN anchor welcomed award-winning podcaster and fellow professional crazy person Jennifer Welch to his Wednesday YouTube show, and together they descended into madness. Acosta and Welch would attack various Republican Christians in the vilest of ways, comparing them to prostitutes and Iranian radicals. Meanwhile, Welch would also dive into anti-Semitism as she said it was obvious the…

As the Iran War continues, CBS’s Stephen Colbert hyped the idea on Tuesday that God is not listening to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The Late Show host made his remarks while referencing recent comments from Pope Leo, but the historical and scriptural justification for their condemnation was highly selective.

John Brennan is a man who managed to become Director of the CIA and turn that into a national security analyst position on MS NOW, but based off what he told The Briefing host Jen Psaki on Friday, one can only wonder how he was able to do that. According to Brennan, the reason why Iran’s rate of missile fire decreased over 90 percent since day one of the war is not because of the…

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart welcomed former spokesman for former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell, to Wednesday’s episode of The Weekly Show podcast to discuss the war in Iran. At one point, Stewart would allege that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gets a perverse sense of sexual satisfaction from the violence he is able to inflict on other people as a result of…

HBO’s John Oliver accused President Trump and the rest of the administration of “stretching the truth to breaking point” on Iran on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight. However, Oliver left out some basic facts that would have made their comments seem much more reasonable.

In the first week of the Iran war, the late night comedians told 94 percent of their jokes about the American side. By the third week, that percentage jumped to 97 percent, according to a new Media Research Center study.

For the last three weeks the late night comedy shows have relentlessly attacked President Trump amid the war in Iran, but on Monday, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart went over the other half of the American-Israeli alliance in an interview with former Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan on The Daily Show. Both men would also use Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to…

PBS News Hour anchor William Brangham and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart tried on Friday to cast doubt on President Trump’s proclamations of military success. However, to do that, they had to employ a definition of success that would be impossible for any war to achieve.
