HBO’s John Oliver is not content to only import his bad jokes from his native Britain; he also wants to import its disastrous healthcare system as well. On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver devoted most of the show to a crusade against Medicare Advantage, which he alleged could be fixed by instituting a single-payer healthcare system.

New Yorker magazine has an amusing analysis by art writer Adam Gopnik as to why President Donald Trump tore down the East Wing in order to build a new ballroom next to the White House. The supposed reason gives us insight into just how much corrosive TDS has eaten away at anything resembling rational thought at that periodical. 

With The Great East Wing Calamity Cycle apparently behind us (zero seconds on ABC, CBS, NBC’s 10/27 nightly newscasts), one would think that the legacy networks would move off of their Democrat-coded shutdown coverage and relay increasing pressure in favor of the clean Continuing Resolution languishing before the Senate. Alas, this was not the case.

Late night comedy’s all-out effort to drag Zohran Mamdani across the finish line in New York City’s upcoming mayoral election continued on Monday on Comedy Central with its most direct bit of campaigning. The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart welcomed Mamdani to tell him how much “I love hearing” about his campaign and to claim that he has been surprised establishment Democrats have not fallen…

The networks and newspapers hyperventilating over President Trump as a "one-man wrecking ball" who okayed demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a new ballroom is the silliest Trump scandal imaginable. He's a "mob boss" who may "never leave" office, and his architectural plans betray "a darker history in fascist and totalitarian politics."  

In an ongoing climate of political violence, you would think that the legacy nightly news would devote significant air time to a threat to assassinate a senior member of the Cabinet. But, alas, that did not happen. CBS and ABC both omitted the story from their evening newscasts.

The PBS News Hour marked its 50^th anniversary on Friday with a look back at its coverage of pivotal historical events. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett: Finally tonight, we have been marking a milestone this week, the 50th anniversary of the "PBS News Hour." Before we go, we have a look back at our beginnings and at how the "News Hour" has evolved over five decades, while remaining…

During her Friday night opening monologue on The Briefing, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki theorized that President Trump was conspiring to “suppress the vote any way that he can.” She cited various loosely-related administration efforts and jumbled them together as proof of Trump attempting to wrongfully sway midterm results.

If the "mainstream media" takes a position within a Democrat primary, they typically favor the most extreme candidate. Take New York democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani. Former governor Andrew Cuomo is the "mainstream" candidate, but he's apparently an Islamophobic jerk. On Friday's edition of ABC World News Tonight, anchor David Muir lamented Cuomo getting "personal" with Mamdani…

On Morning Joe, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius lamented Trump's "presidency as wrecking ball" over the new ballroom. But Ignatius fails to mention an editorial by the Post editorial board,  "In defense of the White House ballroom--Donald Trump vs. the NIMBYs," which is supportive of the president's project.

For years, Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was arguably the most reliable source of entertainment for NewsBusters (and viral posts on X). Her press briefings were a heavyweight bout with the English language. And, when she announced in June she would be writing a book entitled Independent about having left the Democrat Party, we made a promise we’d read it and…

Watching ABC News’s The View throughout October, one couldn’t help but think that their pearl clutching hyperventilation about President Trump supposedly trying to steal the midterms with the National Guard and the ballroom being evidence that he planned on holding onto power, were meant to incite another assassination attempt. On Monday’s show, they claimed that Trump was in fact a “…

On Friday’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, moderator Jeffrey Goldberg devoted 14 minutes -- over half the show’s 22-minute discussion time -- to the East Wing demolition undertaken by President Trump, using private funding, in order to build a much-needed White House ballroom. After the introduction, where Goldberg complained “President Trump this week took a wrecking ball to the…
