Scott Jennings, former special assistant to George W. Bush, provided his usual, much-needed touch of sanity to CNN Sunday morning, on State of the Union. As a panel hosted by Dana Bash railed against the Trump administration in a by now pretty true-to-form way, Jennings forced them to listen as he confronted them with actual facts about the current state of affairs, and the proper…

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared Sunday on the Fox News Channel’s MediaBuzz and debated host Howard Kurtz on a slew of subjects over two segments, including the Associated Press hubbub over its ban from the press pool (the smaller, rotating group of journalists that follow the President to smaller events and on Air Force One) and the press shop taking over the…

After spending the first segment of Monday’s show talking about the Oscars and commending ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg’s dress at the event, The View pivoted to talking about the confrontation between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last week. In leading the discussion, Goldberg came out in support in Ukraine but…

The results of the Worst Media Take of the Week are in and the winner is….

The media were predictably horrified by the explosive Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky. But notably, the language journalists have been using to describe the meeting is virtually identical to that of Democratic politicians: namely, that the whole thing was a “premeditated,” “deliberate ambush,” meant to provide justification for the USA’s…

On Saturday night, MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin used his eponymously named show to paint Republican efforts to roll back the liberal agenda on transgenders and gays as a new "McCarthyism," and his guests pushed the conspiracy theory that recent actions are an "experiment" by Republicans to prepare to take rights away from a larger number of Americans later so they can stay in power.

Appearing as a guest on Friday's CNN This Morning, CNN weekend anchor Michael Smerconish lamented the Donald Trump administration's ban on transgenders in the military, calling it "disgraceful."

On Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360, CNN gave liberal Senator Angus King (I-ME) a forum to accuse President Donald Trump of abusing his constitutional power with his actions since taking office. And on Thursday morning, MSNBC's Morning Joe followed suit with their own interview with him entirely devoted to this topic.

On Thursday's Morning Joe, former Congressman and embittered ex-Republican Joe Scarborough again sounded like he's never been a conservative as he railed against the possibility of Republicans cutting Medicaid and recalled lecturing his Republican colleagues when he was in Congress.

Amazing. One can easily imagine that the headline writers at the conservative leaning New York Post were laughing as they wrote the following headline about the lefty Washington Post. The headline: 

CBS Saturday Morning was not happy at Iowa for daring to pass a law that insists that an individual’s sex is immutable. Additionally, the Hawkeye State’s decision was said to be a “civil rights reversal” as it removed “civil rights protections for transgender people.”

Zachary Levi hasn’t been canceled by Hollywood for supporting President Donald Trump. Not yet, at least. The star keeps saying he has new projects that should keep him busy. He’s one of the lucky ones.

If CNN’s Fareed Zakaria is the proverbial blind squirrel, then “terribly run” Democratic cities are his nut. On the Overtime segment of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Zakaria confronted former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s attempt to dodge Maher’s question of why the current mayor has an approval rating of 6.6 percent.

The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour was not interested in subtlety, nuance, or level-headedness as they discussed recent media news. Host Amna Nawaz wondered if “we’re in much more sinister territory now” due to the changes surrounding the White House press pool. Both Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks agreed,…
