The U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams both defeating Canada in overtime to win the gold medal should have been a joyous moment for the country. However, too many in the sports media have decided that it is their life’s mission to ruin this great moment by trashing the men’s team for not joining the left’s anti-Trump jihad.

Dave Zirin, who is allegedly the sports editor for the hard-left political magazine The Nation when he’s not issuing nasty, virulently anti-Israel takes, co-wrote “The Ugly Underbelly of the US Hockey Victory” with political science professor Jules Boykoff. You can probably figure out the why of the headline: After the U.S. hockey team’s thrilling, gold-medal winning overtime…

Not content with Monday’s edition of The Daily Show, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart took to The Weekly Show podcast on Wednesday to continue his Olympic-sized hot takes about Team USA’s gold medal-winning hockey teams, where he also threw in some bad takes about health care in a capitalist system for good measure.

On Thursday morning, the “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to throw more chum in the shark-infested waters they’ve helped manufacture against the U.S. men’s hockey team for associating with President Trump this past week. This time, ABC cued up women’s hockey team captain Hilary Knight to attack Trump while the others kept the storyline alive the men’s team has a lot to atone…

NBC’s Seth Meyers reacted on Late Night to President Trump’s State of the Union address on Wednesday by attacking him for condemning Democrats for not standing up and applauding and for allegedly trying to “co-opt” Team USA's men's hockey gold medal for himself. In both cases, Meyers left out some crucial context.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert hosted his last-ever live edition of The Late Show in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday as he reacted to President Trump’s State of the Union address, which he labeled “dark.”

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.

Early Tuesday, America’s new leading family — as in the Hughes klan, including USA Hockey star and gold-medal-winning goal scorer Jack Hughes  — wadded into network morning newscasts and were sadly met on ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today with attempts to sully their reputations and maim both their character and the entire men’s team for taking a phone call Sunday…

Both ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned on Monday after a week off to offer up some Olympic-sized hockey hot takes. Kimmel would try to turn the gold-medal-winning women’s team into a symbol of the anti-Trump resistance, while Daily Show host Jon Stewart and this week’s Tuesday-Thursday host Desi Lydic used the opportunity to explain why Canada,…

MS Now’s fun haters at Morning Joe had an interesting recap on Friday of the previous day’s Olympic events, where the U.S. women’s hockey team defeated Canada in a dramatic overtime comeback to win the gold medal, and American figure skater Alysa Liu also took home gold. Forcing politics into sports, ESPN talking head Pablo Torre, the hockey women proved one can cheer on America…

MS NOW Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace had a funny definition of bravery on Monday. According to her, Olympians such as Eileen Gu are “more brave than” most for their criticisms of President Trump. Of course, Wallace forgot to mention that Gu was born in America, but competes for the genocidal, communist dictatorship in China.

On her eponymous Friday show, MSNOW host Chris Jansing had on liberal researcher Michael Mann to fret over predictions that few countries will have enough snow to host future Olympic games due to the use of fossil fuels.

Conservative sports fans checking in on coverage of Team USA at these winter games might want to brace themselves for unexpected outbursts of liberal preaching from the reporters covering them.

The Super Bowl is one of the last remaining parts of American culture that all Americans, regardless of their political beliefs, can share and enjoy, but the NFL and CBS’s Stephen Colbert seem eager to end that. On Tuesday, the host of The Late Show defended Bad Bunny’s decision not to perform in the mainland U.S. prior to the game because of ICE.
