PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, The Atlantic podcaster David Brooks, and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart assembled on Friday for their usual weekly news recap and displayed a noticeable religious double standard.

Sykes Urges Colbert, Pope Leo To 'Burn This B**** Down'

Ward Says White House Plays 'Into The Worst Stereotypes About America'
CNN’s Clarissa Ward joined CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from Erbil, Iraq, on Wednesday to discuss the Iran War.

Colbert, Kimmel Omit Pentagon Fancy Food Spending Is For The Troops
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, attacked what they described as wasteful and extravagant Pentagon spending by Secretary Pete Hegseth on their Tuesday shows.

Meyers, Wallace Claim Iran War Is 'A Stab In The Back' To MAGA
Neither NBC’s Seth Meyers nor MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace is the person you would go to if you wanted to understand how conservatives, Republicans, or people who consider themselves to be part of a MAGA movement think, but the two joined forces on Monday for an interview that aired early Wednesday on Meyers’s Late Night to claim that the Iran War is a “stab in the back” to President…
Colbert: Iran's Response To Surrender Demand Was 'Metal as Hell'

VILE: Mehdi Hasan Claims American Sailors Are Worse Than Nazis
MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition.

Burnett Equates U.S. Sub Attack With Iran Bombing Neutrals

Kosta Condemns Hegseth For Saying Iran War 'Is Not a Fair Fight'
If a nation decides to go to war, it has a moral obligation to those it sends into harm’s way to give them every possible advantage to allow them to win as quickly and with as few casualties as possible.

Daily Show's Kosta Thinks F-15 Friendly Fire Incident Is Hilarious

Chris Hayes Compares Trump Bombing Iran to 9/11 Terrorists
MS NOW All In host Chris Hayes made a morally obscene analogy on his Monday show as he lamented that the United States allegedly does not appreciate the fact that the people who die in war are real human beings. To prove his point, Hayes tried to claim that the terror Americans felt after 9/11 is “commonplace” in other parts of the world because of “the kinds of war of aggression that…
