Journalism Professor Jason Johnson joined MSNBC's Ari Melber on Thursday's episode of The Beat to react to President-elect Donald Trump nominating former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to head the Justice Department after former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew from the process amid a series of sex scandals. Johnson fretted that Bondi will be “worse than” Gaetz because “she knows what she's doing” and is therefore “dangerous and effective.”

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host of the week, Desi Lydic, declared on Thursday that Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Nancy Mace appear to believe that their mandate after Republicans won all three elected parts of the government is to make transgender Rep.-elect Sarah McBride’s life more difficult, as Johnson recently affirmed that sex-based restrooms are what those words mean.

Back on November 14, the Washington Post 's Rebecca Ritzel reported on Logos Theatre, a South Carolina theater company “gaining traction” in Washington known for its adaptations of some of C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia books and other works of Christian literature. While people may go to see Logos' life-sized lion puppet, the Post made sure to warn people that this Christian theater really is Christian.

New York Times columnist and supposed conservative half of PBS News Hour's Friday Brooks and Capehart segment was dismayed that President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, will supposedly help him take a “blowtorch to the neutral institutions of justice.”

On Friday's episode of HBO's Real Time , it was the best of host Bill Maher and it was the worst of Bill Maher. On one hand, Maher called out astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson's unwillingness to upset the woke crowd when he refused to affirm that male and female differences are scientifically based. However, later, he falsely claimed the country has elected a female president, but “our stupid system” prevented Hillary Clinton from becoming president.

The cast of Friday’s installment of MSNBC’s The ReidOut had a rather odd explanation for how the Republican Party has managed to win over working-class voters: racism towards former President Barack Obama. All host Joy Reid and author Christina Greer had to do was ignore that Donald Trump did better with all demographics and won in states that Obama also won.

Some liberals have reacted to Donald Trump's victory by ensuring that they will not be able to reproduce. While some may find that odd or even humorous, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel had a different take, as he claimed it said something about Trump.

The Bulwark's managing editor, Sam Stein, joined MSNBC's Morning Joe on Tuesday to claim that it is possible that the incoming Trump Administration will arrest people “simply because they disagree with” it. However, a closer look at Stein's main example would suggest that he was simply being hysterical.

Before her show airs on PBS, Christiane Amanpour's daily musings air on CNN International, and on Monday that included an interview with producer Joni Levin and writer and director Keith Clarke of the new documentary Call Me Ted about CNN founder Ted Turner. During their discussion, Amanpour, who is usually very keen to label Republicans Putin apologists, hyped Turner's record of “always” doing “the right thing,” including “trying to bring peace between the Soviet Union... and the United States.”

The Daily Show might have the week off, but correspondent and rotating host Ronny Chieng found himself on ABC's Tuesday taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! recalling Election Night, which he compared to watching a slow-motion car crash. Likewise, he longed for a conservativism that is not populated with “[bleep] morons.”
