During Wednesday's episode of Comedy Central's The Daily Show host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper showed his most recent man-on-the-street experience designed to make Trump supporters look dumb. This time Klepper and his interviewees were looking ahead to the UFC fight at the White House, which Klepper used to compare Trump to the infamous Roman emperors Nero and Caligula.

The latest installment in the media's attempt to portray President Trump as ruining the ongoing World Cup took place on Wednesday's Amanpour and Company on PBS. During one segment, host Christiane Amanpour and author Simon Kuper tried to suggest that Trump is the reason why Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar “Vozinha” Dias's mother has not been able to acquire a visa, but there are compelling reasons to believe that is not true.

ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and NBC's host of Late Night , Seth Meyers, both reacted to the Thursday opening of the Obama Presidential Center by hyping the celebrity guest list in an attempt to troll President Trump. Kimmel would take the trolling efforts one step further and hype former First Lady Michelle Obama's speech that was a “subtle little jab” at Trump by citing her husband's unearned Nobel Peace Prize.

Thursday’s opening of the Obama Presidential Center brought back all of the gushing media coverage that defined his presidency and not just from current media personalities. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta had a busy day with former colleague John Harwood and former NBC and CBS anchor Katie Couric as they seemed to compete with each other over who could be the most effusive in their praise for Barack and Michelle Obama. Acosta would certainly be the winner, as he told Harwood they would have to “pinch” themselves for being able to cover him.

MS NOW aired a two-hour special hosted by Michele Norris with the presumptuous title of Hope Comes Home, which featured a tour of the new Obama Presidential Center and interviews with Barack and Michelle. During the show, Norris would suggest that if there was any real criticism to be made of Obama, it was that he was not left-wing enough, but the good news is that the American people “have inherited what President Obama likes to call the work.” She would also gush over Michelle's “star power” and insist she is not merely “a style icon.”

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement that claimed the alleged ringleader of the foiled terrorist attack on the UFC fight at the White House the previous Sunday is an illegal immigrant. Since then, ABC’s Good Morning America and World News Tonight, NBC’s Nightly News and Today, and CBS’s Evening News and CBS Mornings have not disclosed this new information to the viewers of their morning and evening newscasts.

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart sat down with New York Times reporters and authors Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan on Comedy Central on Monday to discuss their book on the Trump administration and whether Trump views himself as an Alexander the Great-type figure who thinks America is “too small for him.” Earlier, Stewart, a self-styled comedian, did not appear to understand a joke made by Vice President JD Vance about India and Pakistan and used it to imply he was a racist.

It was progressive buzzword bingo night on PBS during Monday's Amanpour and Company as host Bianna Golodryga welcomed environmental activist and director Josh Fox to promote his new HBO documentary. According to Fox, it is fascist to oppose the mass admittance of “climate refugees” into the U.S. and the developed world should pay reparations for colonialism, which is also to blame for climate change. Unfortunately for PBS, a lot of what Fox said was simply wrong.

Ahead of America 250, PolitiFact's Louis Jacobson penned an article chronicling what he considered to be eleven instances where presidents “shaded reality as they shaped US history.” Unfortunately for Jacobson, in some instances it was he who did the shading, especially when he considered some of the nation's most defining foreign policy moments.
