Ronny Chieng Claims Haley Stevens Would Push Her Mom In Front of a Bus

Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng taped Tuesday’s episode of The Daily Show before any results came in, meaning he was still reacting to the pre-election news when the show aired.

The New York Times Front-Page Ad? GOP Sets Vicious 'New Low'

The average American independent voter has a “pox on both houses” bias, but the average “mainstream” journalist doesn’t think that way. They always see Republicans as more negative than Democrats.

Lovestruck: Media Nominate Jon Ossoff for 2028 Presidential Election

When Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) insisted in October that he had “zero interest in running for president,” nobody took him all that seriously — after all, that’s the standard line for any incumbent up for re-election in a must-win state. But even before the Senator had successfully defended his seat on election night, the news media were already so enamored with his campaign that they were…
