Couric, Whipple Detail Biden Admin's 'Nixonian' Attitude Towards Media

Mystal Smears The Constitution As 'A Piece Of Crap'
The Nation justice correspondent, frequent MSNBC guest, and all around crazy person Elie Mystal took his book tour to The Breakfast Club podcast on Thursday.

After Devastating DOGE Hearing, PBS Claims the RIGHT Dominates Media
If PBS felt any concern about the hit its reputation for balance took at Wednesday’s devastating DOGE hearings, Thursday’s PBS News Hour didn’t show it. That episode took advantage of a series installed after Donald Trump won a second term, the pompously titled “On Democracy,” to suggest Project 2025 was a threat to democracy. Worse, PBS used that “On Democracy” rubric to enshrine a…

Don Lemon: You Cannot ‘Be Black and Be a Rational MAGA Person’
In his Sunday night appearance on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast, former CNN host Don Lemon made free with his opinions on a wide variety of subjects, but one which caught the attention of many viewers was his take on fellow black Americans who supported President Trump.

Former CNN reporter Maria Ressa won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2021 for her “efforts to safeguard freedom of expression.” However, as the heads of the social media platforms move past their relationship with fact-checking companies and towards greater freedom of speech, she warned Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast host Jon Stewart that America is sliding towards “kleptocracy.”
Hostin Whines About Being Called a ‘Race Baiter’ While Bashing Whites
During the Tuesday episode of The View’s podcast, Behind the Table, staunchly racist ABC host Sunny Hostin whined about being called “a race baiter.” The kicker was the fact that she was complaining about being called a race baiter while at the same time bashing white people for supposedly having it so easy in life. She even lashed out against Elon Musk for being a white…
Couric Jokes With Chelsea Handler About 'Maybe One Day' Doing Drugs
Just in case there had been any remaining doubt as to how far the mainstream media had fallen in the world, former host of NBC’s Today and CBS Evening News Katie Couric’s podcast Next Question served as a beautiful example Monday.
