Bee on VP Debate: ‘Care Bear’ Kaine vs. ‘Homophobic Race Bannon' Pence
After some time off from blogging TBS’s Full Frontal and an acknowledgement from the show that yours truly lives rent free inside their heads, I checked back in on Samantha Bee’s unfunny program as she opined that the vice presidential debate featured “Hillary Clinton’s care bear” Tim Kaine facing “homophobic Race Bannon” known as Republican Mike Pence.

Meyers Gushes to Chelsea: 'Your Family Has Been Attacked For So Long'
For the second night this week, NBC has played nice with Hillary Clinton’s daughter, while not giving the same treatment to Donald Trump’s children. It started on Saturday Night Live, when Chelsea was noticeably missing from a political skit while Trump’s children were shown as creepy “Children of the Corn.” On Thursday night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, the former SNL comedian continued the…

CNN Presses Pence on Past Trump Remarks, Tosses Softballs to Kaine
As Democratic and Republican vice presidential nominees Tim Kaine and Mike Pence appeared in separate interviews on Thursday's New Day, there was a blatant difference in how each guest was received, as Kaine was mostly served up softballs by Alisyn Camerota, while Chris Cuomo spent nearly all his time hitting Pence over controversial statements Trump has made in the past, repeatedly pressing the…

MSNBC: Kaine Told No Lies at Debate, No Lies at Debates Before Trump
During the opening monologue to MSNBC’s The Last Word Wednesday, host Lawrence O’Donnell went on a tirade bemoaning how far the institution of presidential debates have fallen, and how it was all Donald Trump’s fault. “I've been fighting Donald Trump's lies for five years on this program, but I haven't touched more than 1 percent of his lies,” O’Donnell whined, “Now a presidential debater or a…

ABC Finally Notices Bill Clinton Slamming ObamaCare
It seems to have taken a poor debate performance by Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine to finally get ABC to cover former President Bill Clinton’s critical remarks about ObamaCare. The network finally reported on the comments Wednesday during World News Tonight, roughly two days after Clinton described the program as a “crazy system.” Out of the 3 minutes, 12 seconds set aside for…

If you watched most of Wednesday's New Day show on CNN, one thing that was clear is that co-host Chris Cuomo is just itching to see GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence challenged from the left on gay rights as he repeatedly brought up the issue -- mostly in the first couple of hours of the special four-hour edition of the show -- commenting on the topic six times in all. Perceiving Governor…

ABC Out To Lunch On Bill Clinton's 'Crazy' Remark About ObamaCare
As of Wednesday morning, ABC's morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover Bill Clinton's Monday slam of ObamaCare as a "crazy system."

On VP Debate Night, Gleeful Ex-Palin Aides Take to MSNBC to Mock Her
In the final minutes before Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, MSNBC journalists did what you would expect from the liberal network: They mocked Sarah Palin. Killing time before Tim Kaine and Mike Pence took the stage, ex-Palin aides Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace regaled their left-wing hosts with behind the scenes stories from the 2008 debate prep.
