CNN This Morning plays a clip of Pete Hegseth saying that the racial integration of the military was a "huge success." But Kate Bedingfield, Biden's ex-communications director and a CNN commentator, says Hegseth sounds like a segregationist in 1940 opposing integration.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert twisted himself into a logical pretzel on Monday’s installment of The Late Show. First, Colbert suggested that President Trump’s immigration enforcement was the stuff of Nazis, but immediately afterwards, he conceded that former President Biden did pretty much the same thing.

On MSNBC's The Saturday Show, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart fretted and fearmongered that President Donald Trump's drive to put more limits on birthright citizenship could mean that blacks who are descended from slaves might also be stripped of citizenship.

The new and revamped CBS Evening News emerged after much hype and a treacly send-off for its prior anchor, Norah O’Donnell. After watching its maiden broadcast one is left wondering: is it too late for Norah to come back? 

CNN has had plenty to say lately on President Trump’s recent executive orders regarding enforcement of America’s immigration laws. On Monday’s showing of CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt interviewed senior national security analyst Juliette Kayyem, who offered one of her ridiculous views on the subject. Kayyem’s take on the matter was pretty simple: the sacrificial victim of the President’s…

Conservatives wonder why J.D. Vance is wasting his time with liberals like CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan. But when you watch him methodically take down every hostile question from Brennan, it's a win for him and a loss for CBS. MRC's Jorge Bonilla breaks down the battle. The VP named JD was messing with CBS. It’s the newsbusters podcast, I’m tim graham.  The "CBS Evening News"…

Hours ahead of their debut as co-anchors for the revamped CBS Evening News, John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois stopped by Monday’s CBS Mornings and CBS Mornings Plus to preview their outlook on what promises to be a different newscast that would cover fewer stories, but go more in depth on those they do highlight. The two promised to help viewers “understand” the news “in a clean and clear way…

The Trump administration kicked off its mass deportation campaign over the weekend, so, of course, the liberal ladies of The View had to clutch their pearls over it. After erroneously suggesting that the American people didn’t support it and unhinged accusations of racism, the ABC News programs capped off the segment my remembering the Holocaust. Unironically, it was moderator Whoopi Goldberg…

Morning Joe and CNN This Morning fret the deportation of people swept up in deportation procedures seeking violent illegals whose "only crime" was entering the US illegally.

Twice on Friday, CNN turned to in-house fact-check and Canadian Daniel Dale to spin-spoil for FEMA and lambast President Donald Trump targeting the response of the agency to last fall’s aftermath of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina and this month’s wildfires in southern California.

The results of the Worst Media Quote of the Week are in and the winner is….

Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC spent last week incensed by President Trump’s pardoning of Jan. 6 defendants, heaping over 46 minutes of coverage on the story within just a 48-hour period on their flagship morning and evening newscasts. By contrast, those same newscasts spared a pathetic three and a half minutes for the last-minute pardons former-President Biden issued for his family…

The following are just a few of the most obnoxious outbursts from the John Dickerson and Margaret Brennan over the years (via the MRC archives).

The points of departure among our large and diverse population are the perceptions about what the problems are and what must be done. In this spirit I ask, as many have over recent days, what message we might take from the coincidence of the inauguration day…
