HBO’s John Oliver rehashed many of the old and familiar arguments in defense of public broadcasting on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, but because Oliver views himself as a man of action, he announced an auction to help save public media because otherwise “people would die.” Things Oliver put up for sale included, but were not limited to, actor Russell Crowe’s jockstrap, his cabbage wife, and a giant…
Any line between liberal comedian activist and public broadcasting journalist was erased on Monday as CNN/PBS’s Christiane Amanpour joined Comedy Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, to claim that anti-Trump activism is what “we have to keep doing” amid an alleged slide towards authoritarianism.
Stewart claimed that “It feels to me like the guardrails of our society in America…
At 7:00 AM Eastern Time on Saturday, MSNBC officially rebranded to MS Now, and before lunchtime it had already hurled its first Nazi comparison. The offending party was Prof. Jason Stanley, who told Ali Velshi that local police departments need to thwart ICE just like a local policeman thwarted the SA, or Brownshirts, during Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany.
Stanley huffed that, “ICE is lawless.…
As President Trump prepares to sue the BBC for deceptively editing his words on January 6, 2021, to make it appear like he urged violence, PBS’s Christiane Amanpour said on her Friday podcast, The Ex Files, that the idea that the BBC is biased is “probably wrong” and that her own network is “an absolute must” have for the American people.

Bad camera angles were not the only thing wrong with former CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric’s Friday interview with PBS documentarian Ken Burns on her Substack page. After spending much time on Burns’s upcoming series on the American Revolution, the pair moved on to discuss the state of history education in the country more broadly, which Couric described as “going backwards” and Burns labeled as…
Before MSNBC transforms into MS Now at midnight on Saturday, The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle joined ESPN and SiriusXM host Stephen A. Smith on Thursday for his Straight Shooter podcast. Once there, Ruhle offered up an unconvincing excuse for why she does not have Republican guests on her show.
What made Ruhle’s response even more strange was that Smith didn’t even ask about guests. Instead,…
PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour and former Vice President Al Gore continued their combined efforts to get the American people to subscribe to climate alarmism on Wednesday's Amanpour and Company as the duo lamented the lack of interest from the Trump administration in the ongoing COP30 summit in Brazil. At one point in the interview, Amanpour would drop all pretense of journalism and praise…
Former CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric unsuccessfully tried not once, not twice, but three times to get Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman to label President Trump as anti-democratic on Thursday’s episode of her Next Question podcast. It was just another example of former broadcast anchors and reporters confirming that they were not the down-the-middle reporters they claimed to…

NBC’s Seth Meyers continued his attacks from the left on the Democrats who voted to reopen the government on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night by condemning Sen. Angus King for claiming that the shutdown did not work.
Referring to President Trump’s various White House renovations, Meyers introduced a clip of King by declaring, “So, this is what Trump was focused on while the government was shut…
