Puck: ABC’s Stephanopoulos Gets New Contract Despite Trump Settlement
On Wednesday, Puck’s Dylan Byers revealed that – in a complete coincidence – ABC’s Good Morning America and This Week co-host George Stephanopoulos “Stephanopoulos has just signed a new, multiyear contract with the network, unrelated to the timing of” the network’s $15 million donation Saturday to President-Elect Trump’s future presidential library as settlement for…

Reid Mocks CEOs and Republicans for Support of 'Toddler' Trump

Joe Scarborough is frustrated by the Democrats having lost Ohio to the Republicans, despite low household income in Ohio, and yet voters supporting a Republican government "of, by, and for" billionaires.

CNN’s Abby Phillip Tries to Dunk On Covid Skeptics, Fails Badly
Part of the reason that there is a crisis of confidence in the media is because of the sense of absolute moral certitude with which they look down upon anyone who strays from the preordained consensus, even as they themselves spit out active disinformation. As CNN’s Abby Phillip demonstrates, sometimes these efforts fail hilariously.
MSNBC Whines About Defamation Settlement,Fearmongers 'Chilling Effect'
MSNBC’s Sunday shows followed a characteristically redundant script while discussing the newly reached settlement in President-elect Trump’s defamation suit with ABC News.

ICYMI: CNN Lectures Jennings, Defends Biden Record on Border, Economy
Thursday’s CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip — perhaps the most toxic show on television after ABC’s The View — beclowned itself with an opening block of host Abby Phillip, CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers, and the cartoonishly faux journalist Catherine Rampell of The Washington Post lectured former GOP Senate candidate Jeff Bartos and the great Scott Jennings with claims about…
Post-Settlement Stephanopoulos: Defanged But Still Venomous
The immediate aftermath of ABC’s defamation settlement with President-Elect Donald Trump coincided with George Stephanopoulos’s scheduled turn to host ABC This Week. Stephanopoulos’s presentation was cosmetically muted, but unchanged in terms of bilious bias and disregard for facts.
