The last month has been difficult for MSNBC host and PBS News Hour contributor Jonathan Capehart’s intellectual consistency, as he can’t decide whether the government shutdown is proof that Democrats are finally growing a spine or, as he claimed on Friday, whether “there’s a meanness and a cruelty” to the shutdown that is all Republicans’ fault.
Lumping in flight cancellations, the argument over…
Thursday’s edition of PBS’s Amanpour and Company went off the rails when guest host Bianna Golodryga welcomed The Atlantic staff writer David Graham to discuss supposed threats to next year’s midterm elections. The duo would muse about everything from Marines seizing ballot boxes to the idea that the elections will be the fake sort that you get in places like Russia, but no evidence was presented…
As allegedly straightforward journalists seek to aid Democrats in their mission to pin the government shutdown on Republicans, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes joined Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast on Thursday to sabotage that message and praise Democrats for shutting down the government.
Hayes ranted, “And so, I think the Democratic Party and consultant class has to internalize this idea of taking…
On Thursday, Sean Dunn, the man charged with assaulting a border patrol agent with a sandwich, was found not guilty, and CBS’s Stephen Colbert was eager to celebrate. The Late Show host mocked the idea that a sandwich posed a grave enough threat to the officer to merit the charges by hurling a Subway sandwich at a boxing dummy using a T-shirt cannon.
Sticking with the CBS brand, Colbert played…
While all the late night hosts rejoiced on their Wednesday shows over Democrats’ Tuesday election victories, the eponymous hosts of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers were especially eager to promote socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral victory.

Finally, there was perhaps the biggest Mamdani fan of them all:…

On his Tuesday show, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel sought to explain why ticket sales for the Kennedy Center have fallen since President Trump named himself chairman. Through a satirical ad from Trump, Kimmel claimed the answer lies in anti-woke programming that is also pro-Nazi.
Kimmel introduced the ad with one of his usual negative nicknames for Trump, “When Trump took over, he promised he would get rid…
All of the late night comedy shows taped their Tuesday episodes before the polls closed on Election Day, so that meant that CBS’s Stephen Colbert had plenty of time to talk with former First Lady Michelle Obama on The Late Show about her new book on fashion. While gushing over the fashion choices of a former first lady may seem like an odd choice for a comedy show, it was somehow worse than that…
CBS’s Stephen Colbert had an actually funny joke on Monday. There were only two problems. One was that he told it not on The Late Show, but during an interview with GQ’s Zach Baron as the magazine put him on the cover of its “men of the year” issue. A second problem was that it was completely unintentional, as he told Baron that “I think I'm more conservative than people think.”
