Because Congress voted not to give President Donald Trump the money he campaigned on getting from Mexico, to build Trump Wall on our southern border, a national emergency was declared Friday morning. At a Rose Garden presser, Trump unveiled his plan to do an end run around Congress and unlock money to build his…

UPDATE: After saying he was only covering  Donald Trump’s rally in Cape Girardeau like he has done “in every election in the past”, it seems Sean Hannity couldn’t resist the pull of the stage. Earlier in the day, Hannity tweeted, “To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President.” When he took the…

Rush Limbaugh joined forces with Sean Hannity to beat Rachel Maddow on Thursday night. Fox News Channel's Hannity finished first among cable news nets at 9 PM ET in total viewers (3.715 million) and in the news demo (800K).

Donald Trump responded via Twitter to reviews of his most nuanced performance to date as President of the United States, aka Thursday’s somewhat impromptu news conference at which he boasted of his “well-oiled machine’ and took a few more pokes at the press.

Jon Stewart finally explained at length why he is leaving The Daily Show. He started by showing clips of reaction to his announcement from the right — mostly Fox News Channel, where Megyn Kelly is seen talking about how “nasty” Stewart got, with “no foothold in the facts.” He challenged FNC to a Lie Off. “Your…

With one of Hollywood’s heavyweight lawyers on his side, the widely syndicated radio host claims the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee defamed him and took his words out of context when it said that he "is advocating a tolerance of rape" on his show. Having hired Patricia Glaser, Rush Limbaugh told the DCCC…

Even if it's true, Chris Matthews probably shouldn't have said it on air. During Wednesday's airing of Hardball, Matthews showed a clip of Rush Limbaugh pontificating on the “real” meaning of Tuesday's election results.

Today's news that Comedy Central's The Colbert Report would end its run at the end of the calendar year and Stephen Colbert would retire the faux conservative TV personality he's previously described as a “well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot” was sad for the conservative TV and radio talking heads who…

Rush Limbaugh made sure today to goose those media reports that suggested his longtime radio partnership with Cumulus Media was over when he announced on his radio show that he had re-upped with the company in a new three-year deal. Reports first surfaced in July that the broadcaster was planning to not renew deals wit…

UPDATE, 10:40 AM: "Suffice it to say, nothing is going to happen that you will notice," Rush Limbaugh said today in response to a Politico story that says Cumulus plans to drop his syndicated show, as well as one from Sean Hannity. Limbaugh assured listeners that “you will be able to get this radio program on as many…

With his contract up at the end of the year, Rush Limbaugh is thinking of pulling his radio show off Cumulus Media stations. More than a year after he called law student and activist Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute,” the host is sick of being blamed by company CEO Lew Dickey for the Cumulus' declining ad…

It’s not clear how the conservative talk show host affected Dial Global — the radio programming company that merged last year with Westwood One. (Limbaugh is syndicated by Clear Channel.)
