Conservatives & Republicans

Whatever one thinks of some Republicans suggesting aid to California after the devastating wildfires come with strings attached, it is hard to claim the state’s wildfire prevention strategy has been a success. Still, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart took to the air on Comedy Central on Monday to mock GOP criticism by reducing forest management to raking leaves.

“February was the wettest month in downtown Los Angeles since 1998. With over 12 inches of rain drenching the city, it was the fourth-wettest February -- and the seventh-wettest month overall -- in the city’s nearly 150-year recorded history,” said Judson Jones’ report on Los Angeles’ weather on March 2, 2024, in The New York Times. Just under a year later, Los Angeles is on fire and…

Winning the 2024 election was only the beginning — the Trump effect is now sweeping the globe. From Canada to the U.K. and continental Europe, left-liberal governments are tottering while right-leaning voters, especially young men, gravitate toward populist politics and take inspiration from Donald Trump’s success in America. It’s almost as if Trump himself were on the ballot in other advanced…

Tim Allen is back with a brand-new comedy that premiered this week on ABC. Shifting Gears stars Allen (who also serves as executive producer) as Matt, a widowed entrepreneur who owns a classic car restoration business. Matt’s estranged daughter Riley (Kat Dennings) returns home with her children after a divorce that leaves her broke (no pun intended) and in need of her dad’s help.

From the beginning of June through the end of December, the late night comedy shows welcomed 120 liberal guests and only one conservative, according to a new NewsBusters study.

CNN’s live coverage of Congress’s election certification on Monday included a panel of various hosts and commentators reminiscing about the dramatic events of January 6th, 2021. Amid the faux hysterics, sympathy for Vice President Kamala Harris, and somber attitudes, Scott Jennings prevailed as a voice of reason, providing some much-needed reality checks to his fellow panelists.

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, the hosts, and in particular Michael Steele, downplay and dump on Mike Johnson and Donald Trump's achievement in securing a first-ballot victory for Johnson as Speaker. But panelists Julie Tsirkin and Eugene Daniels are more fair 'n balanced, with Daniels describing the achievement as "impressive."

On MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele claims Trump plans to put migrants in "concentration camps." April Ryan says that Trump views black and brown migrants at the southern border as a "problem," but welcomes migrants entering the US on visas, because they come from countries like Ukraine and "look like him." Fact: more than 8 out of 10 people entering the US on H1B1 visas…

CNN This Morning throws a wet blanket on Trump win, saying voters chose him despite his lies, etc. And casts Kamala's campaign as always a long shot, a "Hail Mary." When panelists downplay the scope of Trump's win, Republican strategist Brad Todd scores the segment's zinger, saying: "I am all for Democrats under reading this, and convincing themselves, you know, that this was this was really…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid perhaps may never come to terms with President-elect Trump’s November victory. Tuesday night’s episode of The ReidOut included the host hilariously downplaying Trump’s entire campaign while ridiculing the various CEOs and Republican politicians who had voiced their support for Trump.

On Tuesday's CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt gave no pushback as Congressman Marc Veasey (D-TX) called for more gun control in the aftermath of the Wisconsin school shooting as he also complained about opposition from the NRA.

MSNBC’s Sunday shows followed a characteristically redundant script while discussing the newly reached settlement in President-elect Trump’s defamation suit with ABC News. The hosts were evidently convinced that the case spelled disaster for the “free press” as the Republicans realized their malicious plans, straight from the “playbook in authoritarianism.”

For decades, the liberal media establishment showed open hostility toward conservative powerhouse William F. Buckley, as well as for the broader conservative movement he helped launch.

This past week, several MSNBC hosts pushed a sore loser narrative that the Republican House majority was won because of "rigged" congressional districts, with one host even claiming Republicans had been "cheating basically."
