ABC’s The View had a rare moment of actual debate on Wednesday as they clashed over school choice, with anti-Trump Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin getting into a contentious sparing matching with co-host Sunny Hostin about the effectiveness of school choice programs. Farah Griffin even called out Hostin’s hypocrisy in opposing the programs because her family sent her to a prestigious…

Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper and The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer joined forces on Monday to get in one last pre-election scare message for The Daily Show’s audience that warned of a “Republican informant state” or a “snitch state.”

With the election eight days away, Comedy Central decided to contribute to the Democratic campaign on Monday with a special episode of The Daily Show called Rally Together, where they sent Jordan Klepper to a series of Donald Trump rallies for the purpose of making his supporters look as dumb as possible.

CNN NewsNight has become the network’s Thunderdome with far-left host Abby Phillip and two or three liberal panelists squaring off with one or two actual, right-of-center conservatives for an entire hour. Given the fact that actual conservatives (or at least not Harris Republicans) are often brought in, it makes for compelling television. Thursday night was the case with conservative…

Far-left author Ta-Nehisi Coates continued his book tour on Thursday when he joined MSNBC’s Joy Reid on The ReidOut. Together, the duo would recall Coates’s trip to Senegal and lament the fact that people were doing “what, I guess, they do on the beach” outside of his hotel near an important historical landmark for the slave trade.

The Dallas Observer — a digital site with a weekly print edition — published an item Tuesday hilariously claiming two ads by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) were misleading in claims about his Democratic opponent and Congressman Colin Allred’s (D-TX) support for men being allowed in girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports.

During Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview session with the National Association of Black Journalists, on-stage fact-checking was nonexistent, but PolitiFact assigned itself to do the task online. Unfortunately, the difference between PolitiFact’s treatment of Harris’s NABJ appearance and Trump’s was just as stark as the candidates’ appearances themselves.

When Donald Trump sat down with the National Association of Black Journalists on July 31, the tone was combative and those interviewing him insisted on doing live fact-checking. On Tuesday, it was Kamala Harris’s turn for a much softer interview that saw the on-the-spot fact-checking go away despite multiple factually incorrect statements and be replaced with questions about how the GOP has "…

In a story we didn’t get to last week, CBS Mornings brought on Biden-Harris Education Secretary Miguel Cardona during the August 29 show and co-host Tony Dokoupil admirably grilled him on what he probably thought was going to be an easy interview about a supposed bus tour to promote public education. Instead, it turned into a back-and-forth on the cost of the Biden White House’s…

On The Source on CNN, fill-in host Pamela Brown brought on left-wing teachers union leader Randi Weingarten as a guest so she could bash GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance for criticizing her in a three-year-old clip liberals have recently been hyping.

For Friday’s edition of CBS Evening News, guest host Nancy Cordes and Miami correspondent Cristian Benavides hyped a rather silly lawsuit that argued that the state’s law allowing for people to challenge books in school libraries on the grounds they are inappropriate for children violates the First Amendment. At the same time, Cordes hyped a scientifically dubious bill from California…

Fact-checks should be, as the name suggests, about checking facts, but a Friday piece from Alex Kasprak at Snopes showed aspiring fact-checkers how not to do their jobs as he defended Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz on the accusation he banned Christians, Jews, and Muslims from teaching in the state.

President Joe Biden, at the Democratic National Convention, said, “Donald Trump and the Republican friends, they not only can’t think; they can’t read very well. Seriously, think about it. Look at their Project 2025.” OK, let’s take Biden up on his offer “seriously” to think about those who “can’t read very well.” The convention is in Chicago, the adopted hometown of former President Barack…

In normal years, which were not that long ago, students would look forward to returning to or entering college as freshmen. After violent anti-Israel and antisemitic demonstrations on some college campuses, many fear this semester might see a repeat of the prior ugliness. This is how bad it has gotten. Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, are investigating after antisemitic and pro-…
