Dangerous! ABC Helps Biden Spread Fear About COVID Vaccine

On ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday, White House correspondent Cecilia Vega and anchor George Stephanopoulos spent a good deal of time deflecting blame from the Democrat ticket sowing fear about a COVID vaccine to project it was actually being “politicized” by President Trump.

Is ANY Anti-Trump Idea Too Absurd for CNN? Check Out This Howler

HATEFUL CNN Smears ‘Make America Great Again’ as Racist ‘Insult’

On Tuesday's CNN Tonight show, during a discussion of the ABC News town hall with President Donald Trump, host Don Lemon and contributor David Swerdlick tried to portray the President's "Make America Great Again" slogan as a racist dog whistle, suggesting he wants to take the country back to times of oppression against African Americans.

Facebook Purges Ad Saying Pro-Trans Biden Would Destroy Girls’ Sports

An ad that was part of the conservative PAC American Principles Project’s (APP PAC) $4 million campaign was labeled “missing context and could mislead people” by Facebook fact-checkers. NBC News wrote that the video, titled “Not Fair,” would not be allowed to run as a paid advertisement after Politifact fact-checked the video on Sept. 15. The 38-second ad states, “All female athletes want is a…

Media: 'There's an Issue' With Steelers Player Honoring War Hero

On Sunday, the entire NFL decided that it would honor victims of social injustice and police brutality. All, except for one player. Pittsburgh Steelers Left Tackle, and former Army Ranger, Alejandro Villanueva, decided to depart from that narrative.

NB Podcast: Stephanopoulos vs. Trump Town Hall, with Curtis Houck

In this week's scintillating installment of the NewsBusters podcast, executive editor Tim Graham discusses the phoniness of the "town hall" format, when networks carefully screen so-called "uncommitted voters" and then carefully pre-screen their questions, which makes it feel like a scripted event, not a free-wheeling talk with the people. Managing editor Curtis Houck joins the podcast to…

ABC's Karl: Covering Indoor Trump Rally Is Like a War Zone in Fallujah

When the Trump campaign moved a rally indoors in Las Vegas this weekend, reporters mostly refused to attend, leaving the job to the White House press pool. In a report from George Condon in National Journal, ABC White House reporter Jon Karl took his corona-panic to an extreme metaphor: “This is not like embedding with the Marines in Fallujah,” he said. “It is like you are taking your…

Trump Camp Official Confronts CNN on Rights of Rally Attendees

Over the last few months, the liberal media have looked the other way as crowds who share their political bent packed the streets in cities across the country and undoubtedly spread the coronavirus. But at the same time, they’ve decried every time President Trump’s supporters gathered at his rallies and other political events. But during a Wednesday appearance on CNN’s Erin Burnett…

ABC/NBC Spike ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Protests Leaving $2 Billion in Damages

For months now, the liberal media have been downplaying and, in many cases, lying about the widespread violence and destruction caused by Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Calling them “mostly peaceful protests,” so-called journalists like MSNBC’s Ali Velshi and CNN’s Omar Jimenez would stand in full view of burning buildings and claims things were “not, generally speaking, unruly,” and “fiery…

Watch McEnany Call Out WH Press for ZERO Questions About Peace Deal

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany closed out Wednesday’s briefing with a short yet stinging rebuke of the press corps for having failed to ask a single question about Tuesday’s Abraham Accords, which wouldn’t have been the case if it were brokered and signed during the Obama administration. During the 20 minutes that made up the Q&A portion, there were at least 41 questions from…

‘UNFORTUNATELY’ for Univision, Trump Ahead of Biden With FL Hispanics

If there was any remaining doubt that Univision is an activist organization with a broadcast signal, Univision’s D.C. correspondent Edwin Pitti may have completely obliterated it.

Twitter Suspends Accounts Tweeting in Support of J.K. Rowling

Twitter is apparently censoring accounts that tweet in support of famous Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, while also making additional moves to diminish that support. The day before Rowling released her new book “Troubled Blood,” “#RIPJKRowling” began trending in Twitter’s top spot Monday, giving rise to “#IStandWithJKRowling.”

While Biden Hides, Nets Applaud Town Hall ‘Barrage’ of Trump

Even as Joe Biden routinely dodges questions from the press or voters, on Wednesday, the network morning shows were thrilled that President Trump was hit with a “barrage” of “tough questions” at Tuesday night’s ABC News town hall event. Rather than reward the President for actually engaging with the American people, the leftist media instead gleefully reveled in how he was “grilled” by alleged…
