Back on November 16, HBO’s John Oliver used his Last Week Tonight program to combine two liberal favorites: late night comedy shows and public broadcasting when he announced he was holding an auction to benefit public broadcasting because otherwise “people would die” as a result of it being defunded. The auction closed on Monday night and, according to Variety, brought in a total of…
Kimmel Claims Mamdani Proves Trump Works With 'Human Vomits'
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! and NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers were the only late night comedy shows to tape original episodes on Monday, and both used the occasion to prove that Friday’s meeting between President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani proved that the latter isn’t the scary monster that conservatives have portrayed him as.

NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker devoted a chunk of her interview with socialist Zohran Mamdani to begging him to repeat his view that Donald Trump is a "fascist" and a "despot" and a "threat to democracy." This game of Repeat Yourself isn't about eliciting answers. It's about ginning up the most negative soundbites. Curtis Houck and Jorge Bonilla joined the show.
Proving Trump Right? Top CBS, NBC Shows Omit AWFUL Attack in Chicago
Last week on November 17, 26-year-old Bethany MaGee was randomly attacked and set on fire while riding a Chicago commuter train, leaving her with life-threatening injuries.

Ahead of Pentagon Investigation, ABC Runs Crisis Comms for Mark Kelly
The sordid tale of the “Seditious Six” has taken on a new dimension, with the Pentagon now hinting at an investigation of Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who is a retired Navy Captain.

PBS Takes Sides Over Lebanon: Israel Bombs Leave Kids' Toys in Rubble
PBS’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war was slanted, none more than the reporting from Lebanon by PBS’s credulous pro-Palestinian war correspondent Leila Molana-Allen.

Eye Roll: MS NOW Lets NC Dem Slam 'Un-American' Arrests of Illegals
On Sunday's The Weekend, MS NOW gave an unchallenged forum to a North Carolina Democrat to rant and ramble about the arrests of illegal aliens in her state, calling it both "kidnapping" and "un-American" of people who are our "neighbors" "friends," and "family members."

PolitiFact Finds 'Experts' to Defend Democrats on 'Illegal Orders'
When Republicans slam Democrats, one typical elitist-media rebuttal is to insist the GOP has "no evidence" of its claims. When Elissa Slotkin and her Democrat squad urged military personnel to disobey illegal orders, they had "no evidence" of any illegal orders from Trump. TV interviews have underlined repeatedly they denied having any proof. So naturally, PolitiFact lined up with the…

Golden Ages: How Great Civilizations Fall & How We Can Save Ours
We media types obsess about America’s problems. But we should acknowledge that today, life in America is better than life has been anywhere, ever. For most of history, the norm was hunger, disease, illiteracy, slavery, and war. There were a few exceptions (from some of those problems) -- so-called golden ages, Ancient Athens, Rome, the Renaissance, etc. In our new video, historian Johan…

In a CNN This Morning segment on hunger in America, host Audie Cornish falsely claims that "one in five children in the US are experiencing hunger right now."
