LAME Colbert: Lies of GOP Convention ‘Stick to Your Soul Like Hot Tar'
Stephen Colbert isn’t even trying to make you laugh anymore. The Late Night host has abandoned comedy for angry, unfunny verbal op-eds and harangues at his audience. On Wednesday night, he half yelled at his audience: “Now, full disclosure, I did not watch much of the convention tonight. And fullest disclosure, I did not watch any of it.”

ABC Stews Over Pence Not Mentioning Blake, ‘Revisionist’ COVID History
On Thursday night after Vice President Mike Pence’s 2020 RNC speech, ABC journalists and liberal panelists were less-than-pleased he didn’t forcefully speak out against Sunday’s shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, condemn armed individuals defending businesses from rioters, and accept responsibility for the size and scope of the coronavirus pandemic.
CNN Disrupts RNC to Defend Rioters, ‘We Should Beat This Kid Up’
CNN interrupted Wednesday’s Republican National Committee proceedings four times (compared to the ZERO times they interrupted night three of the DNC), and they did it in the most disgusting of ways. Between consistently shoddy co-host Jake Tapper defending violent riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and left-wing activist Van Jones calling for a 17-year-old to be beaten up, the network was unhinged.…
LOL: MSNBC Turns to Seattle Mayor After Noem Calls Out Lawlessness
After Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) led off Wednesday’s RNC with a speech hailing the ingeniousness of Founders and imploring Americans to reject lawlessness, MSNBC coverage co-host Rachel Maddow was triggered and felt the need to cut away from the convention to offer “a reality check” seeing as how what Noem said was “very wrong.” And of all the people to call on, Maddow brought in Seattle…
MSNBC HYPOCRITES Interrupt GOP Convention for 71 MINUTES Over 2 Nights
If you want a clear example of the unmitigated hypocrisy and sheer partisan hackery of MSNBC, there is no clearer example than the disparity between how the liberal cable channel covered the Democratic National Convention last week and the Republican edition this week. During the DNC, MSNBC aired 90 percent of the convention with no commentary or analysis. The hosts just let the speeches play…
Nets FREAK OUT Over Night Two of RNC: ‘Was it Illegal?’
After another successful night of the Republican National Convention, panicked reporters on Wednesday’s network morning shows wildly declared that the entire event could be “illegal” and “possibly a violation of the Hatch Act,” which regulates how and when government officials engage in campaign politics. Making it clear who was issuing the marching orders, the broadcasts touted “House…

On Morning Joe, a hate-fueled Joe Scarborough slams First Lady Melania Trump as "shameless, absolutely shameless" for having criticized, in her speech at the second night of the RNC convention, people who are mean on social media, while she did not criticize President Trump's past tweets about Mika and Joe.
'Hostage Situation'? Celebs Melt Down Over Speakers at RNC Night 2
Depending on your perspective, the second night of the Republican National Convention was either a patriotic display of all the freedoms and blessings America can offer hardworking people, or an evil showcase, where the worst of our racist, white, Christian heritage was on display in all its jingoistic glory.
Column: The Convention Tone Police
The conventions have one long-standing trend in media bias: the description of tone. Every Republican convention is dark and divisive and angry and ultraconservative. Every Democrat convention is soothingly centrist and stuffed with "inspirational" speeches.
Nightmare: ABC, CBS Lose It After Trump Holds Naturalization Ceremony
Between Senator Tim Scott’s well-received Monday night speech, stories on both nights from everyday Americans, and remarks from rising stars, Tuesday’s RNC festivities resulted in a no good, awful, very bad day for the broadcast networks. Minutes into their coverage, ABC and CBS spontaneously combusted upon seeing President Trump holding a naturalization ceremony at the White House.
After Encouraging Riots, Cuomo and Lemon Fear It’s Helping Trump Win
Back in May and June, NewsBusters reported on how CNN personalities Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon had strongly encouraged violence in the streets in support of the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization. But with the 2020 election around the corner, the duo was fearful of riots helping President Trump get reelected. “Chris, as you know and I know it's showing up in the polling,” Lemon warned as…
Nets Hit Panic Button: NBC Host Upset Melania Condemned Looters?!
Late Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks were trapped between a rock and a hard place. ABC, CBS, and NBC found themselves begrudgingly praising First Lady Melania Trump’s 2020 RNC speech and while they did plenty of that, they found an escape hatch by using her speech to broadly attack all speakers before her on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, NBC Nightly News anchor…
‘F**k This B***h’: Celebs Assail FLOTUS During RNC Speech
In what world would a speech given by a U.S. First Lady, where she expressed support for hard working mothers, showed charity for those afflicted by COVID-19, and expressed her desire for an end to racial strife in the country, be the subject of division and cruelty from famous and influential Americans? Well, in Hollywood, of course.
