MS Now’s fun haters at Morning Joe had an interesting recap on Friday of the previous day’s Olympic events, where the U.S. women’s hockey team defeated Canada in a dramatic overtime comeback to win the gold medal, and American figure skater Alysa Liu also took home gold. Forcing politics into sports, ESPN talking head Pablo Torre, the hockey women proved one can cheer on America without embracing a certain nameless president, while host Joe Scarborough and New York Times opinion writer Eugene Robinson argued it was ironic for “MAGA World” to celebrate an immigrant.

All the major broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — broke in Friday morning with special reports on the Supreme Court’s 6-to-3 ruling declaring most of President Trump’s landmark tariffs unconstitutional. Unsurprisingly, ABC was almost ebullient in touting the ruling as “devastating,” “huge,” and “monumental” in hampering Trump’s presidency.

In the aftermath of DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin announcing her resignation, MS NOW reporter Jacob Soboroff accused her of spreading misinformation when, in fact, he was the one misinforming his viewers.

Antonia Hylton filled in for Chris Hayes on Monday's All In show. She began by asking Soboroff what it has been like having to interact with McLaughlin to get information about immigration issues. He began by taking a shot at ex-DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen from the first Donald Trump administration: "It's been a bit of deja vu quite frankly, and I think that Tricia McLaughlin comes from a long line, I think it's fair to say, of Trump administration officials dealing with immigration policy that have been less than forthright with the truth."

In another tease for CNN’s new documentary on The Rise of Christian Nationalism, Pamela Brown continued her promotion of hour-long “special report” by going after Christian schools’ methods of teaching and punishment amid a recent rise of shooting attacks against Christian schools on Thursday’s CNN News Central.

The Trump Administration is purchasing $263 million of domestically-produced food products, including $75 million of butter, to distribute to the nation’s food banks and nutrition assistance programs, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Thursday.

It was a good week for NewsBusters issues. In the new eruption of leftist protest over anyone demanding Stephen Colbert provide "Equal Time" to their incessant tilt, we point out again that all the comedy shows tilt dramatically to the left, just like The View. Whoopi Goldberg felt pressed to address the NewsBusters scoop on her place in the Epstein files.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert continued his years-long streak of not being censored by President Trump on Thursday as he quipped that the man formerly known as Prince Andrew was arrested for abuse of power in office, which is exactly what Trump campaigned on.
