Media Bias, Political Infighting, and the Struggles of the Democratic Party

Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters tackled the ongoing fractures within the Democratic Party and the media’s selective coverage of political events. The discussion kicked off with Watters pointing out the turmoil at the Pentagon, highlighting potential mass firings. Meanwhile, on the cultural front, Hollywood star George Clooney reportedly admitted that the stress of Trump’s presidency had driven him to smoking again, blaming the media for failing to challenge Trump’s rise effectively.

Clooney criticized the media for abdicating responsibility and allowing Trump to regain power, likening Trump to a king who wields his authority without accountability. The conversation quickly shifted to how media networks handle criticism and internal dissent, citing reports that ABC had fired nine staffers from The View for excessive anti-Trump rhetoric.

Jesse Watters then turned the spotlight on Democratic infighting, noting that some members of the party seem more aligned with foreign nations than with the U.S. itself. A Democratic commentator even admitted to “rooting for Canada and Mexico” over the U.S. on key issues, exposing the widening ideological divide within the party.

As the segment progressed, the debate over diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies surfaced, with some Democrats acknowledging that DEI has alienated voters. Former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg suggested that DEI initiatives contributed to Trump’s appeal, sparking outrage from The View’s Sunny Hostin. She dismissed Buttigieg’s argument, insisting that systemic inequalities require aggressive corrective measures. Her response underscored the deep rift within the party between moderates who seek a strategic shift and progressives who remain committed to identity politics.

Gutfeld and his panelists argued that Democrats have failed to address the issues voters truly care about, such as the economy and crime, instead focusing on divisive cultural battles. They criticized the party for prioritizing DEI and gender identity policies over practical governance, warning that this approach could cost them in upcoming elections.

Another major point of discussion was the Democratic Party’s leadership crisis. Political strategist James Carville lashed out at sports commentator Stephen A. Smith after Smith criticized the party’s direction. Carville dismissed Smith’s views, urging him to stick to sports, but Smith fired back, pointing out that his concerns about Democratic failures echoed Carville’s own past statements. The exchange highlighted the party’s struggle to accept internal criticism.

Political commentator Joe Concha joined the conversation, comparing Smith’s confidence in debating politics to a boxing match where Smith was the clear winner. He noted that Carville’s political instincts had been outdated since the Clinton era, with his past predictions about Democratic victories proving wrong.

The segment wrapped up with a broader analysis of the Democratic Party’s challenges. Concha pointed out that Democrats are losing ground across the board—they don’t control the White House, the Senate, or the Supreme Court, and they have fewer governorships than Republicans. Despite this, their strategy remains focused on cultural issues rather than electoral viability.

Ultimately, Gutfeld and Watters painted a picture of a party in turmoil, unable to unify around a compelling vision for the future. As Democratic leaders continue to fight among themselves, they risk losing more ground to Republicans, who remain focused on regaining full political control.
