On Tuesday night's Daily Show with Trevor Noah, the Comedy Central host brought his usual nasty pile of priest-abusing-boys jokes to protest the Vatican making a statement against transgenderism.
In one of his long and blustery comedic crusades, HBO host John Oliver was stumping for the Equal Rights Amendment, and recalling its history in the 1970s, down to its most prominent opponent, conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly. He showed a clip of Schafly thanking her husband Fred, and then joked that Fred surely loved his wife being out of the house for days at a time. Try that joke with…
Colbert thrilled his audience [and angered the Daily Beast LGBTQ Patrol] by mocking Trump calling Biden a dummy: "Biden's the dummy? Only one of you is sitting on Putin's lap with his hand up your butt."
Former Newsweek editor Jon Meacham thrilled Stephen Colbert's studio audience Tuesday by proclaiming "We're at our best when we try to live up to what Jefferson wrote, that we're all created equal. And we don't build monuments to people who build walls and shut doors. We built build monuments to people -- [Cheers and applause erupt.] -- who take them down and open them, right?

CNN's United Shades of America pushed hard on the notion that the "patriarchy" is denying women the right to abortion. Women will get "ripped out of the Constitution" by pro-life legislation. CNN's W. Kamau Bell interviewed pro-lifers, but did not include them in this hour.
On CNN's New Day on Friday, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman worried out loud that Attorney General William Barr's investigation into the origins of the Russia probe might lead to selective leaks from intelligence agencies that carry a partisan narrative to hurt Trump's political opponents. The lack of introspection in this speech is stunning.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace actually complained about Beto O'Rourke's news coverage. "Listening to you it's clear that you have that thing that not all politicians have. You remember people's names, you remember where you were when you met them, and you remember their stories. You get very snarky national media coverage. Where's the disconnect?"
