Middle East

It is one thing for critics to question the politicians’, including President Trump, rationale for supporting the war with Iran, but Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta began his week hosting The Daily Show on Tuesday by going several steps further and mocking U.S. Air Force pilots and Kuwaiti air defenders for a friendly fire accident that downed three F-15s.

MS NOW All In host Chris Hayes made a morally obscene analogy on his Monday show as he lamented that the United States allegedly does not appreciate the fact that the people who die in war are real human beings. To prove his point, Hayes tried to claim that the terror Americans felt after 9/11 is “commonplace” in other parts of the world because of “the kinds of war of aggression that…

The late night comedy shows were largely upset on Monday at combat operations against Iran that began on Saturday. Three of the five hosts tried to argue they were simply a distraction from the Epstein files while the others still managed to offer up some underwhelming criticisms.

Like a good neighbor, The New York Times is there... to dump a bucket of ice water on your parade! The lefty newspaper is trying to whip out — get this — economics to lambast President Donald Trump and Israel’s historic military toppling of arguably the most murderous regime in the Middle East. 

On Monday morning, ABC and NBC both expressed fury at President Trump launching war against Iran — the world’s largest state-sponsor of terrorism — “without evidence” of a serious threat to the homeland and instead relying on “old grievances” against the Islamist regime from decades of Iran-backed deadly attacks on American soldiers.

ABC chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl joined Saturday’s Good Morning America to discuss any possible political fallout from President Trump’s decision to attack Iran. Despite polling showing Republicans broadly supportive of the idea before Saturday, Karl suggested there is “potential for significant blowback” from the MAGA base.

After the United States and Israel began combat operations against Iran, NBC’s Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett welcomed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Saturday’s edition of Today to get his perspective. The worst part of the interview was when Jarrett opened up the floor for Araghchi to give his “message to the president," which consisted of an airing of grievances that…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, tried to claim there was some sort of logical disconnect between the Trump administration’s response to the Minneapolis shooting involving Renee Good and ICE agent Jonathan Ross on one hand and its threats towards Iran as the regime shoots protestors on the other.

On Monday at Mar-a-Lago, President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about several issues including the cease fire in Gaza, and the missile threat from Iran. The recent U.S. strike against Venezuela also came up at the press conference after the meeting. And there was some interesting coverage going on over at CNN both pre and post meeting.

Back in August, Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib gave a vile, anti-American diatribe to the People’s Conference for Palestine. Over three months later, on Wednesday, Snopes’s Jack Izzo would ride to her rescue and give a “false” label to those who claimed she “publicly called for Hamas supporters to mobilize and take over America.” Izzo’s rating only came about after some straw man burning,…

Jon Stewart went on an F-bomb-laden rant on Thursday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast as he told conservative critics of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to “look in the mirror, fuck face.” According to Stewart, they are allegedly being hypocrites for not applying their same logic to President Trump amid his recent state dinner with the Saudi crown prince…

One of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show’s most corrosive effects on our culture has been to take complicated policy questions, dumb them down to a cliché for the sake of a cheap laugh, and then claim they were cutting through the political spin by getting to the heart of the issue. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s trip to Washington has put Middle East policy at the forefront…

Neither ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel nor Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Ronny Chieng are foreign policy experts, but on Tuesday, they did try to play one on TV. As President Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House, Kimmel suggested it was all part of a get-rich-quick scheme involving Eric and Don Jr. while Chieng suggested it was part of Trump’…

After years of playing the role of lead Biden regime apple polisher and undoubtedly being one of the most biased White House reporters, ABC chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce was excoriated Tuesday by President Trump over her questions about Trump family financials and the Epstein files as well as missives to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman about the country’s roles in both 9/11…
