Anyone still confused why Republicans defunded PBS needs to look no further than a Thursday Amanpour & Company segment featuring host Christiane Amanpour and women, gender, and sexuality/African and American studies Prof. Imani Perry. Both would accuse President Trump of waging a war on knowledge as he seeks to reform the Smithsonian Institution, while Perry ironically spread historically-…
CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed NPR CEO Katherine Maher to Thursday’s taping of The Late Show for a grieving session on the latter being defunded. According to Maher, the fate of democracy depends on NPR, and only people who seek to divide and pit Americans against each other could possibly support defunding it.

Later, Colbert wondered, “You say the public media, you know, fosters civic…

Colbert put the ball on the tee for Maher by repeating the idea that public…
If politics can be said to be a team sport, then MSNBC host and Thursday Morning Joe panelist Al Sharpton is the coach who puts the ball on the tee, and Rep. Jamie Raskin is the batter who takes the easy swing. Sharpton asked if a federal judge ruling President Trump illegally withheld funding from Harvard proves that his anti-DEI policies are political, and Raskin dutifully replied they are,…
CBS’s Stephen Colbert had an unconvincing rebuttal on Wednesday to President Trump’s recent Truth Social posts that portrayed Chicago as a crime-ridden and dangerous city. Colbert’s three-part response involved telling Trump “[bleep] you,” repeating some false statistics, and saying Chicago can’t be that bad because The Late Show traveled there in the summer of 2024 and came back alive.

Former MSNBC host and professional crazy person Joy Reid joined former colleague Katie Phang on her YouTube show that partners with the MeidasTouch Network on Tuesday to argue that the news media is not being tough enough when it comes to questions around President Trump’s health. In one specific instance, Reid went deep down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and claimed Trump was only “…
If you are a normal person, you might have missed that over the Labor Day weekend, left-wing portions of the internet were running wild with rumors that President Trump had died. Of course, these rumors were false, but on Tuesday, CBS’s Stephen Colbert still had to stop The Late Show audience from booing that fact.

Former ABC senior national correspondent Terry Moran was fired for tweeting all sorts of nasty things about White House domestic policy advisor Stephen Miller, including that he is a "world-class hater," and ever since then has spent his time podcasting like a prime MSNBC opinion host than a straightforward newsman. On Thursday, Moran joined A Conversation With host Philip DeFranco to talk about…
As Justice Amy Coney Barrett releases her new memoir, CNN Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic couldn’t help but trash the part of the book where Barrett defends overturning Roe v. Wade. On Tuesday’s The Situation Room, Biskupic claimed that Barrett’s claim that Roe undermined the democratic process was bad because the Constitution is to be interpreted to protect minority rights, a claim that is…
Keith Olbermann clearly needs some help. On his Thursday Countdown podcast, the former MSNBC and ESPN host unleashed deranged attacks on President Donald Trump and former President George W. Bush, accusing the former of being behind the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting and the latter of staging terrorist threats to get himself re-elected. The common thread, for Olbermann, is that Democrats…
