Former NBC and CBS anchor Katie Couric welcomed Congresswoman and progressive hero Jasmine Crockett to her Thursday recording of the Next Question podcast. While podcasting may be growing in popularity as a way for people to get their news, the habit of anchors to sit back and do nothing as Democratic guests say outlandish things remains constant because Couric would simply sit there as Crockett…
PBS’s Christiane Amanpour sat down with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi on Tuesday to get his perspective on the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, but Amanpour’s usual mantra of being “truthful, not neutral” mostly took a back seat as she never challenged him on the regime’s anti-Semitic, eliminationist rhetoric or his rewriting of Iran-Iraq War history.

NBC’s Seth Meyers announced on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night that the arrest of New York mayoral candidate Brad Lander and removal of Sen. Alex Padilla from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference mean that we are now living in “a police state.”
Meyers teed up a Padilla-related video package by declaring, “And Lander isn’t even the first Democratic official to be roughed up by…
Jordan Klepper took the helm of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Tuesday and used the opportunity to highlight his latest man-on-the-street segment, where he attempts to show Trump supporters that they aren’t the brightest bulbs in the chandelier. However, it was Klepper that looked rather foolish as he tried to compare Saturday’s Army parade to festivities in Moscow and Pyongyang.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is not a military expert, but he does try to play one on TV. Having previously shown a stunning lack of basic knowledge on how missiles work in order to try to dunk on President Trump’s Golden Dome idea, Kimmel was back at it again on Tuesday, claiming that deploying National Guard and Marine units to Los Angeles has left Trump “in a tough spot” as he weighs his options on the…
Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta traveled over to the Center for American Progress on Tuesday to praise the No Kings protesters, claim Saturday’s Army parade was really President Trump’s “Kim Jong-un birthday parade,” and, more humorously, claim that Trump’s attacks against the media put liberal priorities like high-speed rail at risk.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert showed a lack of historical awareness on Monday as he welcomed Sen. Tammy Duckworth to The Late Show to lament all things related to President Trump. Colbert wondered what happens when the military is deployed to the streets, while the duo later claimed that Sen. Alex Padilla being removed from a recent press conference with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is about “fear” because…
Thursday marked the end of an era, albeit a brief one. CBS’s After Midnight hosted by Taylor Tomlinson, and executive produced by fellow CBS comedian Stephen Colbert, aired its last episode early Friday morning.
After Midnight was originally advertised as a different kind of late night show. There would be no monologues, just a game show where a trio of comedians would improv answers to…
