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…

Predictably, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was not a fan of President Trump’s Tuesday State of the Union address, but even by his standards, Kimmel went off the rails.

HBO’s John Oliver waited until Sunday to kick off the 2026 season of Last Week Tonight and quickly fell in with the rest of the late night comedians in going after ICE. During his denunciation ritual, Oliver would praise Democrats for shutting down the Department of Homeland Security and call for ICE to be defunded and done away with.

And….poof!!!! It’s as if it never happened. Here’s an ABC News headline from August 3, 2023. 

It is well known that the media likes to make themselves the main character of every story they can, but Tuesday’s PBS American Experience documentary about the atomic bombings on Japan took things to a whole new level. The main takeaway for PBS’s assembled cast of BlueSky historians is not that the narrative we tell ourselves about the necessity of the bombs is true, but rather that…

The late night comedy shows kicked off 2026 on Monday by talking about the big news of Nicolas Maduro’s capture by U.S. forces on Saturday in Venezuela.

This past November President Trump instructed the Pentagon to, "prepare for possible action in Nigeria", saying the U.S. could go in "guns-a-blazing" and halt aid if the government there "continues to allow the killing of Christians." He also refused to rule out…

James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump character was simultaneously drugged up on Adderall and Ambien on NBC’s Saturday Night Live when he falsely described his seizing of a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker as piracy and bragged about shooting down Santa Claus.

Calling yourself a comedian does not give you the license to spread fake news under the guise of exaggeration or hyperbole, but once again NBC’s Saturday Night Live has done just that. This time the guilty party was Colin Jost, who played Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth and claimed that the drug boats being hit in the Caribbean are actually just fishermen and that the name of the…

MS Now host Jonathan Capehart joined Friday’s PBS News Hour to discuss the fallout from the September 2 second strike on a drug boat. Showing a lack of understanding of how such operations work and counterexamples, Capehart demanded to know why the administration did not arrest the surviving crew members and falsely claimed there is no evidence that the boats are carrying drugs.

During Thursday's edition of CNN's The Arena, host Kasie Hunt led her show with congressmen and senators seeing a video of a second strike on a drug boat. Hunt boosted the resume of Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), who's served in Congress for four years more than Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) Hunt did not recite his service in Congress or in the military. Why boost a Republican's gravitas…
