Stewart Blames Trump For French Riots
On Monday’s edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart tried to have it both ways.

On the other hand, however, Stewart tried to blame President Trump for the riots because of the Iran War’s effect on gas prices.
PBS: Will Brown-Skin Voter ‘Get Shot in Parking Lot’ at Polls by ICE?

The View: Hiring Zacharia Was Racist, Firing Her Was Sexist
During Monday’s episode, The View’s Cackling Coven played a little game of ‘heads I win, tails you lose’ with President Trump.

According to them, the hiring of Zacharia was racist because it was offensive to black female lawyers, and then her subsequent…
60 Minutes Fearmongers Over Midterms, Minimizes Non-Citizens Voting
In another Sunday of CBS’s 60 Minutes being anything but “MAGA-coded,” longtime correspondent Lesley Stahl fearmongered over the 2026 midterm elections and minimized investigations into non-citizens voting in another Trump-bashing story on the supposedly "revamped" weekend magazine show.

Scarborough's Got Poll Numbers On The Noggin

CBS Brushes Off El-Sayed Muslim Brotherhood Ties, NBC Demands Answers
CBS Mornings would apparently prefer Michigan voters stop hearing about Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s alleged ties to The Muslim Brotherhood.

NBC Frames Trump as Misogynist After Zacharia Press Sec Ouster
After Katie Zacharia left her role as White House Press Secretary on Friday, just a week after taking the job, all the evening network newscasts covered the removal.

'Long' Time: PBS News Hour Hid Its Inflation Expert During Biden Era

Scarborough Hypes 'Absolutely Dreadful' 'Really Bad News' for Trump
Whether or not you believe in “karma is a bish,” or “tempting the fates,” it’s undeniable that Joe Scarborough went on an unseemly riff on Thursday’s Morning Joe, gloating over what he saw as various woes facing Trump and the Republicans at the midterms. The screencap shows him holding up one of the headlines he described as “bad news” for Trump. Joe stopped just short of rubbing his hands in…
CBS Blames U.S. for Collapse of Cuba’s ‘Once-Renowned’ Health Care
Even though ABC pulled the exact same stunt in May, CBS Mornings chose Friday to take the hand of the Cuban communists for a hand-holding tour under the thumb of a U.S. oil blockade, leading to massive blackouts and a drain of basic necessities. The supposedly right-wing CBS lamented the state of affairs, even complaining the Trump administration’s policies have caused Cuba’s “once-renowned…
