Medicaid

On Wednesday, the late night comedians received their government shutdown-related marching orders. To listen to them is no different than any generic Democratic member of Congress who portrays the shutdown as a showdown between Democrats, who want people to have healthcare, and Republicans, who do not.

After a Friday World News Tonight report on the possibility of a government shutdown, ABC might need to rename its network DNC because throughout the segment, host David Muir and White House correspondent Rachel Scott combined to utter the phrase “Democrats say” three times while never once using the equivalent “Republicans say.”

The Young Turks co-host Ana Kasparian made a complete fool of herself when she let one of her anti-Israel brain drain episodes affect her so much she tried to convince the world America spends more on Israel than Social Security. 

Despite tough questions from fill-in co-hosts Kelly O’Grady and Ed O’Keefe, Monday’s CBS Mornings Plus chose to dedicate the “By the Way” segment — a block meant to do a deeper dive on one of the major headlines but often becomes a free block for liberal narratives — to a supposedly viral guest column from a rural Virginia factory worker lamenting the rise in cost of living and the erosion of…

As Senate Republicans hold its fate in their hands, PBS’s Amanpour and Company thought it was a good idea to welcome former Clinton Treasury Secretary and Obama economic advisor Lawrence Summers to double and triple down on his previous claim that Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill will kill over 100,000 people.

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was confused on Monday’s The Daily Show why the GOP’s spending reforms in the Big Beautiful Bill would target the areas of the budget where the most money is spent. Together with economic commentator and author Kyla Scanlon, the duo would conclude that it is easier to cut from people than lobbyists.

The “fact checkers” at PolitiFact barely touch the talking heads on cable television anymore. They used to have a serious tilt against the Fox News hosts in prime time. So it’s unsurprising that on July 9, they published their first attack on conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings, who offered a few tough words about Medicaid beneficiaries.

PBS is not only lamenting that its federal funding could be cut; it is also now lamenting that Planned Parenthood’s funding has been eliminated. On Tuesday’s Amanpour and Company, guest host Bianna Golodryga and New York Times reporter Caroline Kitchener lamented not only the GOP’s Planned Parenthood decision but also the three-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s demise.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned from two weeks of vacation on Monday with Jon Stewart welcoming former 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft to the program to claim that his former colleagues fear “losing the First Amendment” after mutual parent company Paramount settled with President Trump in a lawsuit over their 2024 campaign interview with Kamala Harris. Elsewhere, Stewart ranted…

Former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council director has slipped from being the voice of reason on inflation to going full Cocaine Bear by screeching that President Trump was killing people with his economic agenda.

As President Trump’s big budget bill neared a crucial vote in the Senate on Monday, PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, covered only one side of a critical part of the bill federal health care spending on Medicare and Medicaid. The sole guest for the segment not only represented a liberal health group, KFF (previously known as the Kaiser Family Foundation), but…

Friday’s edition of NBC Nightly News might have seemed to give both sides their say on President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, but given who White House correspondent Kelly O’Donnell chose to highlight, viewers would have come away with the impression that it was lower taxes on tips were coming at the expense of other people getting sick and dying.

ABC was surprisingly the only major broadcast network to break in Thursday afternoon for a special report on the House passage of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which he’s slated to sign into law Friday. What was unsurprising, however, was the ABC presented a wholly negative perspective declaring the bill was to “mostly” benefit “the wealthiest Americans” while stating as though it’s a…

Ahead of its final passage in the House, the big three broadcast networks all gave blatantly biased reports Thursday on their flagship morning shows about President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, and NBC's Today all told the same story, one that devoted noticeably more attention to Democrats as they stalled on the House floor than to the Republicans…
