Jake Steps on a Rake: CNN’s Tapper SCHOOLED By Abbott on Texas Law
On Monday’s edition of The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper once again utterly embarrassed himself on the Texas redistricting issue.

Tapper showed off a profound ignorance of the…
Oliver's Caricature of a Conservative Couple Is Worse Than You Thought
HBO’s John Oliver was greatly upset with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight for using a fictional family as his ideal of a swing voter.

To further attack Schumer, Oliver brought in actors Bobby Moynihan and Edi…

90 Percent of Jon Stewart's Podcast Guests Have Been Liberals
We here at the Media Research Center have been counting the guests that appear on the late night comedy programs since September 2022, and The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart is not a fan.

Pants on Fire: CBS, MSNBC Insult Rural America Defending NPR, PBS
Ahead of a likely vote this week on a rescissions package to claw back $1 billion in funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS, CBS’s streaming platform and MSNBC went full doom and gloom and lied to viewers Monday, insulting their intelligence by arguing rural Americans rely on NPR and PBS as “critical” lifeline, “their only source of information,” and “emergency alerts.”
