Political Groups

CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert is already preparing for a 2024 GOP Presidential Primary between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by comparing both to a sexually transmitted disease.

After Wednesday’s congressional hearings on the Colorado Springs Club Q shooting and violence and threats of violence against LGBT people, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports and CNN’s Inside Politics with John King came to the same conclusion: it’s conservatives’ fault.

MSNBC host of The 11th Hour Stephanie Ruhle wondered if conservative attempts to “ban books” was the reason the FBI recently reported a raise in hate crimes. Instead of simply answering no, that’s ridiculous, former assistant director for counter intelligence Frank Figliuzzi says it is too soon to tell, but they certainly don’t help.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi somehow managed to hit a new low on his Saturday show as he accused mainstream conservatives of creating an environment for terrorism against transgender individuals.

It was a good week for liberals, which means according to MSNBC logic it was a good week for democracy itself. On Friday’s installment of The 11th Hour guest host Alicia Menendez rejoiced over Raphael Warnock’s win, Donald Trump’s woes, and the passage of the same-sex marriage bill. Beschloss also got in a tortured analogy when condemning critics of the Brittney Griner-Viktor Bout…

As Trevor Noah stepped down as host of The Daily Show, Friday’s CBS Mornings lamented the general decline of late night TV. As correspondent Michelle Miller went through the data and upcoming Daily Show guest hosts, it never occurred to anyone that liberal activism might have something to do with it.

During his seven-year tenure as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Trevor Noah brought a reliably liberal bias to the program, a NewsBusters study has found.

House Republicans have not even taken the gavels yet and CNN’s Inside Politics warned them Wednesday not step out of line with voters by investigating Hunter Biden or wokeness. If only CNN had this segment when Democrats were pursuing Donald Trump’s taxes.

On Friday’s MSNBC Reports reporter Ben Collins responded to Kanye West’s Thursday anti-Semitic diatribe by warning that “Republican podcast circles” may not go as far as he did, but support “those same talking points.” Such an incendiary claim requires solid evidence, but none was forthcoming.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and the rest of the Morning Joe cast clearly feels threatened by the possibility of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis launching a 2024 presidential campaign because Scarborough is already suggesting his attacks on the media are sexist.

Documentarian Ken Burns took his book tour to PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Tuesday where he hysterically warned that “authoritarianism” and “nationalism” are on the rise in America putting everything from elections to the independent judiciary in trouble. With analysis such as that, it should not be surprising Burns was both short on facts and hypocritical when making his assessment…

A Thursday interview of Equality Florida press secretary Brandon Wolf by PBS Amanpour and Company’s Hari Sreenivasan was taped before the revelation that the Colorado Springs shooter identifies as non-binary, but that is not an excuse for blaming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and “right-wing influencers” for motivating others to commit or threaten to commit acts of violence.

As its name suggests, MSNBC’s The 11th Hour airs at 11:00 Eastern, which on Tuesday was well after the bombshell report that the Colorado Springs shooter identifies as non-binary. Still, host Stephanie Ruhle wondered how to combat conservatives who are “dehumanizing” anyone who isn’t a white heterosexual. Later, irony died as she labeled Rush Limbaugh ‘the king” of misinformation.

NBC Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Jenny Hagel and CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert reacted to the shooting at a Colorado Springs gay nightclub that left five dead by making sure they mentioned every possible left-wing cliché by blaming everything from gun culture, the Supreme Court, unhealthy concepts of masculinity, homophobia, transphobia, to conservatives.
