NYT's Down Under Doom-Monger Hits Rupert Murdoch’s ‘Extreme' Outlets

After imposing authoritarian Covid restrictions, Australia is no longer acting like a liberal democracy. But to New York Times’ Australia bureau chief Damien Cave, the big news from Down Under is how conservative media mogul villain Rupert Murdoch may be accepting some precepts of the “climate change” movement. The headline had a “when did you stop beating your wife?” feel: “Murdoch’s…

On CNN, AOC Blasts Texas Abortion Law for the 'Menstruating Person'

In a clip aired on CNN's New Day Wednesday morning, Ocasio-Cortez absurdly twisted the English language for the sake of political correctness and trans-sensitivity.  In the context of blasting TX Gov. Abbott over the state's abortion law, she spoke of a "menstruating person" and "any person with a menstrual cycle." AOC wouldn't want anyone to imagine she thinks that only women can menstruate…

Fake News Jim Acosta’s CNN Show Has Been a Complete Failure

In one of the least shocking developments to be published on NewsBusters, CNN carnival barker Jim Acosta’s tenure as late weekend afternoon CNN Newsroom host has gone less than swimmingly as, since he took over April 3, the timeslot has lost almost half its viewership. Nielsen Media Research measured the three months prior to Acosta taking over (December 28, 2020 to March 28, 2021) versus…

NewsBusters Podcast: 'Facts First' Media Trip on Fake Ivermectin News

Sometimes terribly fake news emerges from the left. Over the long holiday weekend, too many "mainstream" media voices fell for another hoax from Rolling Stone magazine, that somehow "horse dewormer overdoses" were "overwhelming Oklahoma hospitals." Even the photo in the Rolling Stone tweet was fake. How discerning are supposedly smart lefties like Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid…

Nets Call It Quits, Done Covering Americans Held Hostage By Taliban

Out of sight, out of mind. That’s the message the broadcast networks sent Wednesday evening as ABC and CBS chose not to follow up with the over 100 Americans still trapped in Afghanistan, some even being held on airplanes on a tarmac; reminiscent of the Iranian hostage crisis. Meanwhile, these Americans President Biden abandoned were only an afterthought to NBC.

Doocy Throws Down With Psaki Over Leaving People Behind in Afghanistan

With a week off from the briefing room (having switched off with colleague Jacqui Heinrich) and the Labor Day weekend, Fox’s Peter Doocy returned Wednesday with plenty of questions for Jen Psaki about the Americans stranded in Afghanistan, the Taliban government having more people on the FBI’s Most Wanted List than women, and if engaging with them means they’ll be granted global legitimacy.…

Canadian Hockey Leagues Still Paralyzed by Fear of COVID-19

Canadian sports leagues still haven’t gotten the memo that people do not need to live in fear over COVID-19. The Ontario Hockey League – one of the three major junior hockey leagues in Canada – still thinks that people need to be herded like a pack of little children at hockey games and is taking ridiculous measures to make sure no one “misbehaves.”

Can Facebook Read Private WhatsApp Messages? Report Indicates It Can

Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp has touted privacy as a core feature, but a damning report indicated that user conversations may not be so secure. WhatsApp has treated privacy as a signature feature for users to join, but a report from ProPublica is undermining confidence in the company’s promises. “WhatsApp assures users that no one can see their messages — but the company has an…

Politico Finds White House Staffers DREAD Biden Talking to Reporters

On Tuesday, Politico published an article entitled “Biden anxiety levels” in which White House correspondent Alex Thompson detailed how President Biden’s own staff cringe whenever their boss takes questions from reporters – a scene many of them can’t even bear to watch. The piece described how “some White House staffers will either mute him or turn off his remarks” for fear of seeing…

'View' Libs Defend Hospitals Turning Away Unvaccinated Patients

A truly awful but revealing conversation happened Wednesday morning on ABC’s The View, where the nearly all-liberal panel argued hospitals should turn away sick patients who did not take the COVID-19 vaccine. After playing a clip of one Florida doctor saying she had “drawn a line in the sand” against treating unvaccinated individuals in person, the panel then brought up the larger…

Anti-Christian TBS Comedy Turns Reverend Into God-Hating Cannibal

Well, the bigotry just gets worse and worse on the very anti-Christian comedy series Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail. These writers just can’t seem to help themselves (or come up with any other ideas) when it comes to hating on Christians.

Networks Skip Biden Claiming Nobody Uses the Word ‘Tornado’ Anymore

During a Tuesday press conference in New Jersey, President Biden stumbled over his words and wound up claiming that people no longer use the word “tornado.” While this peculiar moment has been covered by a handful of news outlets that aren’t right wing by any stretch of the imagination, the Biden-friendly broadcast TV networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have avoided discussing it…
