On Monday's The 11th Hour, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle and never Trump Republican Mark McKinnon seemed to cheer for Democrats to aggressively gerrymander states like California against Republicans as both used the provocative expression "bring a gun to a knife fight" to describe the strategy.

Cue the Sinatra music! On Monday, MSNBC’s parent company Versant — the name of the company consisting of seven cable news channels Comcast no longer wanted to be tied down to — decreed the much-lampooned name-change for the far-left hot take factory to MS NOW would commence on Saturday, November 15, bringing to an end the network that launched on July 15, 1996.

For days, the liberal ladies of ABC News’s The View had been claiming that President Trump was not going to leave office at the end of his second term and would steal elections to stay in power; unfounded conspiracy theories that could incite another assassination attempt against him. While on Tuesday’s show to hawk his new anti-Trump book, ABC chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan…

A NewsBusters analysis of five leading liberal Capitol Hill reporters has found that, by a margin of roughly two-and-a-half-to-one (72 to 28), they have taken to X more times since the start of the government shutdown to condemn Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and the House for being out of session than they have highlighted crucial government programs like food stamps and pay for soldiers that…

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.
