It's not hard to imagine federal workers are concerned about the length of the current shutdown. But CNN's New Day Saturday really larded up the airwaves with Twitter sob stories, and then let a federal employee union leader claim one worker can't afford a tombstone for his wife now.
On Sunday's edition of Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter brought on three reporters who broke big stories in the #MeToo movement about sexual harassment and assault by powerful people. Unfortunately, when it came to the unproven allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, they could only feel pain for Kavanaugh's "very credible" accusers. No one was invited on CNN to express the…
On Thursday morning on America's Newsroom, Fox News Mediabuzz host Howard Kurtz ripped into The New York Times for a sketchy front page story on Wednesday claiming a foot doctor faked a bone-spurs diagnosis for young Donald Trump to avoid the draft as a favor for the president's father Fred Trump, who owned the doctor's building.
On Christmas morning, ABC interviewed three Christian pastors. ABC host George Stephanopoulos threw immigration into the discussion, and a "global crisis of refugees." Rev.

On ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, he had "God" (Billy Crystal) and "Satan" (Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters) fighting over who was stuck with Ted Cruz for eternity. "Satan" lost Rock-Paper-Scissors, so Cruz is destined for Hell.
At the end of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, ABC News aired a promo un-ironically claiming they were a "Give it to me straight" news network, with "no bull, no spin." They were serious!
CBS reporter Rita Braver polished Gary Hart's apple fiercely. In 1988, Hart became the front runner “because of his visionary ideas.” Hart claimed “I saw as early as anyone else the shift of the economic base of America from manufacturing to information and technology.”
Braver added: “You actually worried that we were heading toward a war in the Persian Gulf that nobody was trying to defuse the…
