When NBC went on the air on Thursday for their special coverage of former President Donald Trump’s conviction in New York, legal analyst Laura Jarrett touched on the reaction the verdict received from his supporters. The only problem for NBC was that the footage they showed alongside Jarrett of a hysterical Trump supporter who could be heard yelling and screaming throughout her report was of a Jimmy Kimmel-employed liberal actor. The man’s name is Tony Barbieri, who does a bit for ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he calls himself Jake Byrd and travels across the country acting like a caricatured...

When Alexandra Barkovskaya spoke at the Palm Beach County school board meeting, she may not have expected to get treated well, but it’s doubtful she thought she’d get yelled at by a clownish-looking School Board Chair wearing a Christmas suit. Barkovskaya, who often uses the last name Berk for convenience’s sake when she addresses the school board, started out by criticizing radical leftist and neo-racist District 2 school board member Alexandria Ayala’s three-thousand dollar “equity” junket. Earlier this month, the Palm Beach County School Board voted 6-1 to send Ayala on the trip.

All over the United States, elected officials are acting like petty tyrants and abusing the citizens they serve. The Palm Beach County School board is one of the worst. Last week, PBCSD chair Frank Barbieri had parent Everett Cooper forcibly removed from a public meeting and arrested for the horrific crime of standing in the back of the room. “My name is Everett Cooper. I am being arrested for standing in the back of the room,” he pronounced as police took him away.

Earlier this week, ABC’s late night host turned activist sent one of his pranksters to Alabama to mock churchgoers and voters there who support senatorial candidate Roy Moore. Kimmel sent comedian Tony Barbieri, who plays the redneck "Republican" character “Jake Byrd” on Kimmel’s show, to a church where Moore was speaking in Alabama Tuesday night. Kimmel teased the upcoming video of what went down on his Wednesday show, before proudly sharing the footage Thursday night.

CNN is reportedly implementing strict new rules for the network's stories regarding Russia. CNNMoney executive editor Rich Barbieri sent out an email Saturday regarding the network's new rules after the network a day earlier issued a retraction on one of its stories. "No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason [Farkas]," said the email, obtained by BuzzFeed News. "This applies to social, video, editorial, and MoneyStream. No exceptions," the email added. "I will lay out a workflow Monday." The new restrictions come after CNN on Friday retracted a story that connected Anthony Scaramucci, a prominent...
