Stephen Colbert isn’t even trying to make you laugh anymore. The Late Night host has abandoned comedy for angry, unfunny verbal op-eds and harangues at his audience. On Wednesday night, he half yelled at his audience: “Now, full disclosure, I did not watch much of the convention tonight. And fullest disclosure, I did not watch any of it.”

On Thursday night after Vice President Mike Pence’s 2020 RNC speech, ABC journalists and liberal panelists were less-than-pleased he didn’t forcefully speak out against Sunday’s shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, condemn armed individuals defending businesses from rioters, and accept responsibility for the size and scope of the coronavirus pandemic.

As the violence engulfed Wisconsin on Wednesday and Republicans continued night three of their convention, journalists on MSNBC did their best to connect the events to the presidential election in November. On ABC, Tom Llamas worried about the “danger” of Wisconsin helping Trump. On MSNBC, far-left host Lawrence O’Donnell saw the shooting as an “outgrowth” of Donald Trump. 

CNN interrupted Wednesday’s Republican National Committee proceedings four times (compared to the ZERO times they interrupted night three of the DNC), and they did it in the most disgusting of ways. Between consistently shoddy co-host Jake Tapper defending violent riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and left-wing activist Van Jones calling for a 17-year-old to be beaten up, the network was unhinged.…

After Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) led off Wednesday’s RNC with a speech hailing the ingeniousness of Founders and imploring Americans to reject lawlessness, MSNBC coverage co-host Rachel Maddow was triggered and felt the need to cut away from the convention to offer “a reality check” seeing as how what Noem said was “very wrong.” And of all the people to call on, Maddow brought in Seattle…

Just after midnight, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin turned deadly after a teenager allegedly killed two and injured a third. The protracted incident was an apparent case of self-defense (though he was charged with first-degree intentional homicide), as the teen was fleeing from a mob of violent rioters. But the viewers of ABC, CBS, and NBC were treated…

If you want a clear example of the unmitigated hypocrisy and sheer partisan hackery of MSNBC, there is no clearer example than the disparity between how the liberal cable channel covered the Democratic National Convention last week and the Republican edition this week. During the DNC, MSNBC aired 90 percent of the convention with no commentary or analysis. The hosts just let the speeches play…

CNN White House correspondent John Harwood joined CNN Newsroom host Kate Bolduan on Wednesday to recap night two of the Republican National Convention where he declared Democrats defenders of revered institutions against a Trumpian Republican Party that has no such reverence for them.

After another successful night of the Republican National Convention, panicked reporters on Wednesday’s network morning shows wildly declared that the entire event could be “illegal” and “possibly a violation of the Hatch Act,” which regulates how and when government officials engage in campaign politics. Making it clear who was issuing the marching orders, the broadcasts touted “House…

Back in May and June, NewsBusters reported on how CNN personalities Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon had strongly encouraged violence in the streets in support of the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization. But with the 2020 election around the corner, the duo was fearful of riots helping President Trump get reelected. “Chris, as you know and I know it's showing up in the polling,” Lemon warned as…

Late Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks were trapped between a rock and a hard place. ABC, CBS, and NBC found themselves begrudgingly praising First Lady Melania Trump’s 2020 RNC speech and while they did plenty of that, they found an escape hatch by using her speech to broadly attack all speakers before her on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt…

Republican National Convention has become a proving ground for how inconsistent the CNN was in terms of treating both political parties fairly. As NewsBusters’ associate editor Scott Whitlock documented last week, the anti-Trump news outlet only interrupted night two of the Democratic National Convention once. But for night two of the RNC, CNN disrupted the proceedings four times to whine…

The hosts of MSNBC on Tuesday howled with rage at night two of the Republican National Convention, an evening that featured multi-ethnic men and women becoming U.S. citizens in a televised White House ceremony. According to Joy Reid, these people were nothing more than “props” in a Republican effort to not be seen as racist. Reid raged, “Donald Trump made that ceremony about him. He made that…

It’s not been a secret that MSNBC is a far-left network, but this is a bit much even for the liberal cable channel. Night two of the Republican National Convention endured frequent interruptions from far-left host Rachel Maddow. Maddow offered her own version of "fact checks," expressing annoyance at even having to air the GOP convention.
