What could make the perfect pro-Hillary Clinton interview? Would it include bashing the GOP as immature and intolerant? How about downplaying her email scandal? Bringing up how sexist her critics are? All of the above happened on Thursday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Even when Clinton was not being interviewed, the whole show Thursday seemed to be devoted to portraying Clinton as the only “adult…

Far-left host Keith Olbermann appeared on The View, Friday, to warn that while the threat of a nuclear ISIS is “theoretical,” the danger of Donald Trump becoming President is a “distinct” possibility.

WATCH: ‘Scandal’ Steals Cruz’s Gun Wrapped in Bacon Routine
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So I guess the presidential candidates should all be flattered that ABC’s Scandal is imitating them. First it was Francisco Vargas (Ricardo Chavira) as Bernie Sanders in Marco Rubio’s body. Now it’s Hollis Doyle (Gregg Henry) as Ted Cruz in Donald Trump’s body.
In early 2008, Barack Obama annoyed many liberals when he said that President Reagan (but not President Clinton) had “changed the trajectory of America.” New York magazine’s Chait no doubt will irritate many conservatives by suggesting Obama has done the same over the past seven-plus years. In a piece for the March 21 issue, Chait commented, “Obama hasn’t so much moved from the center to the left…

ABC, CBS Paint Cruz as Down in the Mud with Trump in Wives Debate
On Thursday, ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News chose not to be the arbiter of whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz was in the wrong concerning the debate over the wives and despite the fact Cruz had nothing to do with an ad of a naked Melania Trump, the newscasts painted Cruz as down in the mud with Trump for “defending the virtue of his wife.”

ABC’s Kimmel Parody Ad Claims Cruz ‘Almost Exactly the Same’ as Trump
Well that didn’t take long. After Cruz’s strong comments condemning Islamic terrorism Tuesday, the media seemed to be following the same teleprompter in making endless comparisons to Trump. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! also jumped on the bandwagon with a parody ad, narrated by an eerily realistic Mitt Romney impersonator, who claimed Cruz was “almost exactly the same [as Trump] but without the steaks…

Networks Gush Over Obama’s ‘Fancy Footwork’ and ‘Dancing Diplomacy’
All three networks on Thursday gushed over Barack Obama’s “fancy footwork” and “dancing diplomacy” in Argentina. Two days after a brutal terror attack in Brussels, the President traveled to Buenos Aires for a dinner with the country’s president. Today’s Savannah Guthrie lauded, “Now to that dance making headlines around the world. President Obama doing the tango.” An NBC graphic screamed, “Two…
Get that gal a Valium. Make it a double . . . "Melodramatic" doesn't begin to describe Mika Brzezinski's histrionic hand-wringing on today's Morning Joe. Mika is in meltdown, on the brink of a political nervous breakdown.
Mika's recurring theme [abetted by the panel] was horror at the spectacle of Ted Cruz's call for special attention to Muslim neighborhoods, and the spat between Cruz and Trump…

Nets Neglect to Fully Separate Cruz from Ad Against Melania Trump
On Wednesday night, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC did little to nothing to separate Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz from the unaffiliated Super PAC that ran an ad featuring a naked picture of Donald Trump’s wife Melania and instead chalked it up to a “nuclear war of words” representing more “shame” in “their nasty rivalry.”
Two CNN analysts praised Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, moments after the Democratic presidential candidate finished a speech on national security. Peter Bergen touted Clinton's "sustained attack on a lot of rather poor ideas that the Republican candidates have come out with about how to deal with terrorism — whether it's building walls — I think Hillary Clinton very correctly said...how does that…
