Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, who is launching his own media company, traveled to CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip on Thursday to discuss the conflicting narratives behind the deaths of several Gazans who were gathered around an aid truck. While Hasan had no problems relying on Hamas-supplied statistics, he condemned the media for trusting the Israeli military while comparing it to…

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria hosted a Sunday special documentary entitled Why Iran Hates America where he ultimately homed in on three Republican presidents: Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. There is a fine line between explaining Iran’s position and uncritically regurgitating it and Zakaria failed to appreciate the difference as he omitted key information and contradicted…

With the exception of Pearl Harbor, the Western Hemisphere escaped World War II mostly unscathed. It also led, to paraphrase Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto's alleged quote, a sleeping giant to wake up in the form of the United States. With Europe and Asia in rubble, the threat of the Soviets replacing the Nazis, and China falling to the communists, men like Winston Churchill, Harry Truman, and…

After outspoken Vladimir Putin critic Alexei Navalny was murdered on Friday, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour to claim that former President Donald Trump “emboldened” Putin and clearly looks forward to a Trump win in November.

Jon Stewart returned to the anchor chair of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Monday, where he lampooned both Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s age and some of their more infamous bloopers. This did not sit well with left-wing media outlets, who have become accustomed to late night comedians simply being one of them. However, when Stewart did briefly digress from age issues, it was clear…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough puts on a goober accent to mock MAGA supporters who believe Donald Trump's claim that he told the leader of a large NATO country that if attacked by Russia, he would not defend it if they were delinquent in their payments, and to the contrary would tell "them," i.e. Putin, to do "whatever the hell they want."

For Thursday’s installment of CBS Mornings, foreign correspondent Debora Patta mourned that Israel has rejected a Hamas proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release, but never explained why which is important because such a proposal would lead to Israel having to accept defeat.

One picture worth a thousand words is a graph on the U.S. Department of Defense website showing U.S. annual Defense spending as a percentage of GDP, going back to 1953. Two things jump out. First, the lowest over the 70-year period was in 1999, at the end of the Clinton administration, when it stood at 2.7%. This is a little more than half the previous low, which stood at 4.5% 20 years earlier…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Seth Meyers used the respective Monday editions of The Late Show and Late Night to roll out the red carpet for two of the most left-wing members of the Senate in Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. The two hosts lobbed mostly softballs and let their guests go on unchallenged monologues as they discussed their favorite pet issues.

When it comes to the current chaos in the Middle East, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi developed a novel theory on who is to blame as he guest hosted Friday’s The Last Word. For Velshi, it is Donald Trump.

This week, three American soldiers died at the hands of an Iranian proxy group that used a drone to strike an American base in Jordan. The Biden administration immediately leapt into action by issuing a strongly worded statement, while simultaneously proclaiming that they wanted to avoid escalation. Which, of course, is precisely the wrong thing to do when faced with aggression from a smaller…

On Sunday, ABC’s Martha Raddatz tried and failed to get Gen. Charles Brown to attack Donald Trump as he tries to pull a Grover Cleveland and return to the presidency. On Wednesday, it was CNN’s Poppy Harlow’s turn to try to get someone to denounce Trump. However not only did Harlow, like Raddatz, fail, but NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg actually had positive things to say about Trump…

On Monday, the border crisis and Sunday’s Iranian proxy attack that killed three American soldiers dominated the White House press briefing and, amid over a dozen liberal reporters asking process questions on Iran and open-ended questions on the Senate border deal, there were a rare few who actually pressed the administration on their weakness in the Middle East and the border deal that has…

Celebrities routinely suffer for sharing their political views, and no one bats an eye.
