For the men of the late night comedy talk shows, the first half of 2025 was an instance of history repeating itself. According to a NewsBusters study, 99 percent of their political guests were on the left, matching the result for the last six months of 2024.

Democratic Socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani took a national media victory lap of sorts by appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press. The interview amounted to little more than the gentlest of tongue baths for Mamdani, in stark contrast for the hectoring treatment afforded to conservatives by host Kristen Welker.

NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff may call himself a reporter, but he is indistinguishable from an activist. Soboroff’s most recent activism occurred on Thursday’s edition of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he lamented, “Mass deportation is family separation by another name,” and omitted the fact that a recently detained man, who was pepper sprayed by federal agents, threatened them…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Seth Meyers both hailed socialist and anti-Semite Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral primary victory on their Wednesday editions of The Late Show and Late Night respectively. Meyers was especially excited, as he claimed it proved that the “conventional wisdom” of Democrats having to move to the center to win elections “is a load of crap.”…

Bias by omission was highlighted Monday and Tuesday as CBS Evening News Plus and Fox News’s Hannity covered the 11 Iranians arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week, while ABC and NBC did not touch the subject on their lead morning and evening shows.  

The “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC were ebullient Wednesday morning in celebrating far-left, “young, charismatic, socialist” New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani emerging as the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor as a “seismic...possible harbinger” for America’s future because of his “populist” views “meeting people where they are” with “solutions.”

NBC’s Seth Meyers is not happy that President Trump is taking credit for ending the war between Israel and Iran, which he falsely claimed on Tuesday's edition of Late Night that Trump started and is now trying to claim he deserves praise for simply cleaning up his own mess.

On Wednesday during his press conference on the sidelines of the annual NATO summit, President Trump tag-teamed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to obliterate the new Deep State leak to CNN’s Natasha Bertrand — who penned the infamous article declaring Hunter Biden’s laptop to be Russian disinformation — that claimed the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has deemed the weekend U.S. military…

After some uncertainty Tuesday morning, it appears the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is holding, which means that there were plenty of previously recorded anti-Trump hot takes from the late night comedy shows on Sunday and Monday that aged rather poorly.

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening, morning and magazine news programs, from June 18 (the day of the hearing) through the morning of June 23, and found there was NO coverage of the “autopen” hearings.  

Media reaction to news of the U.S. bombing of critical Iranian nuclear sites was mixed at best, as evidenced by initial Saturday night coverage. Below is a compendium of some of those reactions, which ranged from plain goofy to outright awful. 

President Trump recently announced that he would give Iran two weeks to agree to a diplomatic solution on its nuclear program before considering whether or not to join Israel’s campaign against it. On Friday’s edition of NBC Nightly News, Andrea Mitchell platformed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to trash the idea.

Friday’s CBS Mornings rightfully touted the successful evacuation of Americans trapped in Israel through the efforts of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), a headline you would expect would be getting more attention. However, their broadcast network competitors ignored the story entirely. Rather than cover real news, particularly news that would paint a Republican governor in a positive…

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes joined NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers on Thursday for his third visit to a late night comedy show since the start of the year. As Hayes sees things, it is not Democratic politicians pulling stunts trying to get a viral moment in their interactions with ICE or DHS, but rather the Trump Administration, and this should lead people to be both “enraged and freaked…
