New York Times columnist David Brooks may have officially lost it. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Brooks reached back over 100 years into the time machine to pull out an analogy that says what President Trump and Texas are doing on redistricting is the equivalent of the German use of mustard gas in World War I.
Moderator Amna Nawaz asked if politics is now nothing more than a power struggle, “David…
Former Washington Post colleagues Glenn Kessler and Jen Rubin reunited on August 4 on Rubin’s The Contrarian podcast to discuss Kessler’s departure from the Post’s Fact Checker page. During their conversation, Kessler would unleash three headscratchers: that he fact-checked Republicans more because they are in power, a historically incorrect warning about going back to the 19th century media…

The late night shows descent into humorless Democrat promotional TV applies even to the guest hosts. On Thursday, actress Nicole Byer wrapped up her week hosting ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! by gushing over a shirtless photograph of former President Obama and referred to him as “that smoke show we shacked up with in college.”
Byer began with a recent poll, “Here’s a totally unsurprising sign of the…
MSNBC’s freakout over the Trump Administration’s plans for the Smithsonian Institute continued on Wednesday’s All In as Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. asserted that the nation is in the midst of a “Second Lost Cause” movement that seeks to justify “the reassertion of white supremacy.”
Guest host Antonia Hylton began by trying to wax poetic about the Smithsonian, “That description there, in the …
Former CNN host Jim Acosta hates conspiracy theories unless, of course, he happens to be the one peddling them. On his Tuesday Substack podcast, Acosta mused, without evidence, that the Trump Administration could send ICE to polling stations to intimidate Latinos into not voting.
During a discussion with former Ohio Democratic Party Chairman and “democracy warrior” David Pepper, Acosta lamented…
NBC’s Seth Meyers appeared torn on Wednesday’s Late Night between trying to argue that conservative talking points about crime in big cities are false and that, actually, it is red states that have a crime problem. To justify such a conclusion, Meyers appeared totally unaware that you can have a blue city inside of a red state.
Introducing some 2022 clips, Meyers declared, “The reality is that…
HBO Last Week Tonight host John Oliver recently joined Monica Lewinsky for her Tuesday Reclaiming podcast, and together the two came to an agreement that LWT is the kind of “good trouble” that holds powerful people accountable despite all the evidence to the contrary.
After Lewinsky asked if Oliver was particularly active on social media and Oliver said no, Lewinsky added, “So, I mean, I…
New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker joined Wednesday’s Chris Jansing Reports and unleashed, even by MSNBC’s standards, one of the most ridiculous reductio ad Putinum claims ever uttered on the network as he claimed the Russian dictator would “feel very comfortable” in Donald Trump’s America.
Jansing was specifically interested in the administration’s Smithsonian reforms…
On Tuesday, the Trump Administration launched a review of select Smithsonian museums to “ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.” The eponymous host of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 was not happy about the move and claimed the move was insulting to everyone…
