The exodus of cable news personalities continue. There have been departures aplenty at Fox News, and recently, Kathy Griffin was dismissed over at CNN. The latest departure is yet again tied into political commentary, but this time it was centered around host Reza Aslan and some of the comments that he made about President Donald […]
This was a move that many were expecting, and it’s now official: Kathy Griffin has been fired by CNN over a controversial new photo shoot. The photo, which featured her with a fake prosthetic head of President Donald Trump, received immense backlash on Tuesday and led to her eventually apologizing on social media. (Photographer Tyler […]
Will CNN scrap its New Year’s Eve broadcast over a Kathy Griffin photo that crossed many lines? Throughout most of Tuesday afternoon and evening, there were absolutely calls for it to happen following her decision to most a photo alongside a fake severed head of Donald Trump, taken by photographer Tyler Shields. It was widely criticized as […]
Well, consider this a surprise … or not really at all. The news of Donald Trump bailing on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shouldn’t shock anyone given his recent treatment of the media, which included not allowing a major news network in CNN to attend a recent press gaggle. Today, the news was first confirmed […]
Tonight, just about every major network is broadcasting the Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and of course this became a metaphorical slap-fight within a number of minutes.

We expect fireworks, intensity, drama, and probably a little bit of contrition somewhere. The […]
Obviously, the role of the news is to provide an upfront, honest view of the stories of the day, but at times it is hard to separate the facts from the humanity of the situation. This is certainly happening now in the wake of the unspeakable tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida over the […]
While we have zero interest in wading too much into the waters of politics on CarterMatt (there are plenty of other places you can for that), we are constantly interested in TV ratings. With that, we thought we’d take a moment to analyze whether or not Donald Trump skipping out on Thursday night’s GOP Debate […]
We thought it would take at least a little bit longer for us to write about something controversial during CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, but Kathy Griffin made short work ensuring that we had something new to talk about sooner rather than later! The first forty-five minutes or so of the network’s broadcast was spent […]
There are few things that we enjoy more on New Year’s Eve than the one-two punch of Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper on CNN. These two have been ringing in the new year for several years now on the network, and for our money there is not a better show out there for a few […]
