Comedy Central's The Daily Show asked the age-old philosophical question “If you can't believe a man in a chicken suit then who can you trust?” on Tuesday as host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper showed some previously unaired footage from his trip to Portland, Oregon's anti-Trump and anti-ICE protests that in addition to animal costumes featured plenty of nudity. According to the guy in the chicken costume that Klepper wants us to take seriously, “fascism is happening.”

Christiane Amanpour, the eponymous host of PBS's Amanpour & Company , welcomed author and activist Bill McKibben to Tuesday's show to partake in the latest doom-and-gloom prognostications on the environment. According to McKibben, climate change is mostly former President Ronald Reagan's fault and any additional blame should be directed at President Trump for engaging in “economic-self sabotage.”

MS NOW Reports host Antonia Hylton brought on The Bulwark 's senior national correspondent Jonathan Cohn on Wednesday to help her make sense of Dr. Anthony Fauci's appearance before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In a frustrating display of someone trying to have it both ways, Cohn admitted that there are legitimate questions that could be asked of Fauci but still managed to accuse Republicans of running “a show trial” aimed at putting Fauci “in jail.”

None of the three late night comedy shows that aired original episodes on Wednesday could bring themselves to even acknowledge the existence of the Fauci hearings, and it wasn't for a lack of time. Comedy Central's The Daily Show might not have found the day's biggest news story important enough to discuss, but they did have time for a skit that hyped the idea that President Trump's neck looks like a vagina.

Former CBS anchor Katie Couric joined Merit America co-founder Connor Diemand-Yauman on his Is This Working?! podcast on Thursday, where she recalled her 2008 interview with GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Couric admitted to working with her producer Brian Goldsmith, who is now a Democratic candidate for California State Senate, to construct the questions in a “very artful way” to expose her.

Comedy Central's The Daily Show host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper and NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers finally acknowledged the existence of the Fauci Hearings on their Thursday shows and eagerly stepped up to defend him. According to Klepper, the hearings featured Republicans trying to reduce a complicated topic to “a performative partisan filter," while Meyers blamed President Trump for any of the federal government's public health apparatus's trust problems.

CNN senior correspondent Donie O'Sullivan joined The Source host Kaitlan Collins on Thursday to promote his new documentary, The Left Insurgency , that will air on Sunday. As part of that documentary, O'Sullivan interviewed far-left influencer Hasan Piker, who is known for being a member of the Mao Zedong fan club, but despite this, O'Sullivan claimed that the “democratic socialists” just want to make America more like Norway.

The main Democratic and media—but we repeat ourselves—conceit of the 2024 election that voters saw straight through was that former Vice President Kamala Harris is some sort of a moderate. Harris recently proved voters right again in a recent statement where she endorsed statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices, and the need to “revisit” the Electoral College. However, on Friday's PBS News Hour The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart agreed, "That's not controversial.”

On both Friday's installment of Nightly News and Saturday's edition of Today , NBC correspondents Raf Sanchez and Matt Bradley lamented that President Trump noticed footage of the mass mob of migrants that rushed into Spain on Thursday and “seized” on them as a warning of what could happen here if Democrats win in November. Additionally, both undersold just how frustrated the rest of Europe is with the government of socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

MS NOW's The Weekend co-host Eugene Daniels recently traveled to Chicago for the DSA convention and upon returning claimed on Saturday that the group of radicals is actually trying to moderate in order to be taken seriously.
