With the Writers Guild of America going on strike, it is likely that America has seen the last of the first half of 2023’s late night comedy shows. Whether America wants them to return is another question as 95 percent of their guests were liberal, a NewsBusters study has documented.

The cast of CNN Tonight was all in agreement on Tuesday that conservative attempts to “ban books” are “fascist,” similar to Nazism, and worse than the current trend of leftists re-writing books they did not write. At no point could anyone point to a book that was actually banned.

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart mixed up their usual Friday routine on PBS NewsHour and actually had, by PBS standards, a contentious argument on whether or not media arrogance partly explains Donald Trump’s popularity.

The Friday afternoon edition of CNN News Central purported to discover another way in which Republican governors are waging culture wars: defunding PBS. Not only is Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt going after “LGBTQ inclusive programming,” but in doing so, he is making it more difficult more people to learn about impending tornados.

For the third episode of Iconic America, PBS explored the history and meaning of the Gadsden Flag and during the portion covering the Tea Party protests during the Obama era, the assorted cast sought to reduce those protests to racists and other bigots.

National politics reporter Eva McKend had some advice for President Biden on Tuesday’s CNN Tonight on how he could fix his falling approval ratings: go further left on everything from the environment, crime, immigration, and abortion. McKend warned that simply relying on young voters being appalled at Republican “vicious attacks… on trans folks” may not be enough to win re-election.…

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough opened up his Monday night primetime special with a solemn, yet outrageous and profoundly unserious rant where he accused Republicans, “cowards,” “pathetic souls,” and “vacuous creatures” of being the modern equivalent of “slaveholders and segregationists.”

Washington Post associate editor Ruth Marcus joined Tuesday’s edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC to talk about the day’s Senate hearing on “ethics reform” and to claim that “any reasonable person” should conclude it is “all so really disturbing” that Republicans played clips of Clarence Thomas in his 1991 confirmation hearing talking about a “high-tech lynching.”

For Saturday’s installment of CNN This Morning Weekend, host Victor Blackwell welcomed Elana Redfield of UCLA Law’s Williams Institute to attack the “very ideological” GOP for not giving “gender-affirming care” to minors and President Biden from the left for his proposed sports-related Title IX changes.

Washington Post columnist Perry Bacon Jr. traveled to his native Kentucky to be interviewed for a segment on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show by temp and fellow native Kentuckian Desi Lydic. Bacon, who used to be a congressional and White House correspondent, urged people to harass Republicans in public places such as church and the grocery store in response to some of their…

The Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. is the comedian Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner and to preview his big night, he sat down for an interview with CBS Mornings’s Vladimir Duthiers on Thursday. Wood doesn’t view his job simply as telling jokes, but “there’s an even bigger responsibility” to speak to those who are preventing “America from moving forward.”…

During his eight-year stint as host of CBS’s The Late Late Show, James Corden could be counted on to use the show to advance the electoral interests of the Democratic Party, a NewsBusters study has found.

For Tuesday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, temp host Desi Lydic sat down for an interview with Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg where the two teamed up to attack GOP “culture wars” and Fox News.

Each of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show temp hosts have used their time to talk about issues they care about and Desi Lydic was no exception, using Monday’s show to talk about the status of women in the workplace, but before she did that she undermined any point she would make when she defended Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney marketing campaign, “I am so sick of this ‘trans women are not…
