On Monday's The Ingraham Angle on Fox, state Rep.

Bill Maher complains that Trump's approval ratings are going up or staying steady when "he's not FDR or JFK, he's LOL." SMH.

No one expects NBC Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon to ask hardball questions of politicians, but his interview with Joe Biden got sidetracked into a fanboy routine.

CNN reported on Tuesday that an esteemed British medical journal estimated less than one percent of those infected with coronavirus will die....but CNN mocked President Trump after he told Sean Hannity on March 4 that he had an educated "hunch" that the death rate would be less than one percent.
After Tuesday's long coronavirus task force briefing at the White House, MSNBC's Ari Melber set up Rep. Ted Lieu to trash Fox News for fake news downplaying the threat, which endangered American lives, and now we've lost more Americans to the virus than we did on 9/11.
On Friday's Fox News at Night, host Shannon Bream interviewed Family Research Council leader Tony Perkins to discuss a vicious New York Times op-ed titled "The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved by Evangelicals."
