NBC spent not one, but two nights trying to make a scandal out of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis telling high-school kids behind his podium at an event that they didn't have to wear masks, since that was "ridiculous." NBC found an outraged parent and that completely nonpartisan head of the CDC for rebuttal. Even after the CDC relented on mask requirements, the networks are still ripping Republicans…

Washington — I hate Russian President Vladimir Putin! I would put him in a category with Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler, and his countryman, J.V. Stalin. It took Castro, Hitler and Stalin years to achieve their distinction, at least with me. KGB Col. Putin moved more rapidly, but now he has arrived. He is a full-blooded tyrant. People throw the term “hate” around very cavalierly, at least in…

ABC’s The Wonder Years reboot has been surprisingly fair for a Hollywood show, and thus enjoyable to watch. Until it wasn’t. Wednesday’s episode, “Black Teacher,” took on the sensitive topic of race and racism and did a good job of it until the very end when they took a dig at “concerned white parents” who fight to make sure what their children are learning is “fair and balanced.” And…

As often happens among the political class in Washington, we met on television debating each other. I liked him immediately, despite our political and even religious differences. Bob Beckel and I became friends and eventually more than friends. Twenty years ago, after debating a long-forgotten subject on Fox News Channel, we came back to the green room where I noticed a streak of sadness in…

As even Democrats begin to rescind their mask mandates, NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers pondered an important question on his Thursday show (which aired early Friday): “How much of a dick” is Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for telling a group of high schoolers that masks aren’t necessary?

The shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin during a sidewalk confrontation with George Zimmerman in Orlando 10 years ago stoked the new civil rights movement – or so claims a column and video for the opinion section of the Times marking the anniversary: “Trayvon Martin Is Still Making America Confront Its Original Sin.” The presence of Al Sharpton is not the most offensive part…

Shortly after getting in touch with reality for a second and demanding greater domestic oil production earlier in the show on Friday, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View dipped into lunacy as they cheered on justice correspondent for The Nation and staunch racist Elie Mystal and his declaration that the Constitution is “kind of trash.”

MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton prepared for the 57th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, by joining MTP Daily host Chuck Todd on Friday where both he and Todd lamented that President Biden did not use his Tuesday State of the Union address to tie the fight for “voting rights” to Ukrainians’ fight for freedom.

Look closer at the data.

On Friday, NBC’s Today show went after Republican Senator Lindsey Graham for urging Russians to rise up and “take out” brutal dictator Vladimir Putin. The broadcast scolded the South Carolina lawmaker for his “controversial call” and even quoted propaganda from Putin’s regime denouncing the comment.  

ABC’s The Conners tackled the subject of gun control on Wednesday’s episode, “Triggered,” and it was as bad as you can imagine. Responsible gun owner, Dan (Jon Goodman), is portrayed as irresponsible while his critics are made to seem like rational people who want to keep everyone safe. Worse, Dan’s granddaughter Harris (Emma Kenney) is lauded as a hero when she steals her grandfather…

There was a serious case of whiplash during ABC’s The View on Friday as co-host Sunny Hostin called Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “smart” for attacking the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, an accolade that was deemed a treasonous act earlier in the week after former President Trump said something similar. If things didn’t seem out of place with that, Hostin also called for an…

In an interview Thursday with The New York Times, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy demanded Big Tech platforms turn over “misinformation” about COVID-19 by May 2, saying they “have the opportunity to be open and transparent with the American people about the misinformation on their platforms.

Early Friday, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s stooges in parliament (known as the Duma) passed a law criminalizing accurate reporting about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with a possible sentence of 15 years in jail. When it came to this actual and genuine attack on free, independent journalism, NBC’s Today omitted it from their Friday morning show.
