During Thursday’s Situation Room, CNN chief global affairs correspondent Matthew Chance tried and failed to portray a recent military exercise conducted by NATO allies in Greenland as a hands-off message to President Trump. While Danish military leaders ignored their repeated misguided insinuations, CNN still published Chance’s frivolous beliefs as facts.

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

With Republicans in control of the vaunted Washington, D.C. trifecta, not even the left-wing news media have found a way to blame the ongoing government shutdown on anything other than obstinate Democrats. That’s something of a rarity for the corporate media, who historically have found a way to blame Congressional Republicans for every shutdown in recent memory.

The fact-checking industry likes to view itself as the guardian of truth in an age of rampant misinformation, but what is one to do when they can’t all get on the same page? While PolitiFact, the Associated Press, and CNN’s Daniel Dale all rushed on Wednesday to call Republicans liars for saying Democrats want to give illegal immigrants access to federal benefits in exchange for ending the…

Early Wednesday evening on The Lead, CNN fact-checker and Canadian Daniel Dale teamed up with host Jake Tapper to engage in a sleight of hand to paint Republicans as liars in the government shutdown battle for arguing Democrats want to provide health care for illegal immigrants. In essence, Dale told viewers both here and later on AC360 that those receiving free care are aren…

The Tuesday afternoon guests on CNN’s Inside Politics couldn’t fathom the possibility of women being further excluded from frontline combat roles due to heightened military fitness standards. This was in response to Secretary Pete Hegseth’s speech to top military leadership at Quantico, VA, in which he explained clear expectations for service member fitness and culture.

It was a tale of two interviews for CNN’s Dana Bash on Wednesday’s Inside Politics as she sat down with Speaker Mike Johnson and left-wing activist and actress Jane Fonda. During her conversation with Johnson, Bash recited Democratic talking points on the government shutdown and wondered if there is “something to that.” Meanwhile, she laughed it up with Fonda and suggested that she…

Here's an unorthodox lesson in how someone might act if they were a journalist, and confronted with outrageous claims made by a powerful prominent figure. Republican activist and Substack writer Frank Scales confronted Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner at a park, and did a much more professional job than one CNN journalist did in her recent interview with Krasner, in questioning his…

On Monday afternoon, during a joint appearance at The White House, President Donald Trump announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signed on to his 20 point peace plan to end the war in Gaza. But hours later, instead of soaking up praise, Bibi and Israel were being vilified by members of the panel on CNN's NewsNight with Abby Phillip.

With New York Mayor Eric Adams bowing out of the 2025 mayoral race, CNN’s Erin Burnett saw fit to interview the frontrunner: State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. What ensued was not so much an interview as it was the construction of a warm cocoon from which Mamdani could emerge if it was safe enough.

In a Thursday interview with Lara Trump on her show The Right View for the Right Side Broadcasting Network, NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck highlighted the Media Research Center’s commitment to providing rigorous, evidence-based analysis of media coverage. He also talked about how the corporate media can regain the trust of the American people.

CNN senior reporter Matt Egan stepped in it again by completely upending the narrative his network has been selling to Americans for years that a government shutdown would be disastrous for the economy.

On Sunday’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, CNN host Jake Tapper spent an hour mourning the six-day suspension of ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel — a personal friend Tapper didn’t disclose — as dangerous for free speech. Most disgusting was Tapper relegating the September 10 murder of Charlie Kirk to a supporting role, thus painting a narrative (via use of his time) that Kimmel…

Hey, did you see the big news made last Thursday regarding the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza? You didn't see that one side in the Israel-Hamas war, which is now nearly two years old, said they know the price is high, but there is no other option? Of course you didn't see it, or hear much about it, because it was a top ranking Hamas official who told that to CNN, not an IDF…
