Media Reality Check

It was a challenging task, but an esteemed panel of NewsBusters editors led by MRC President L.Brent Bozell and MRC’s Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker, boiled down all the biased outbursts from lefty hack hosts, anchors, reporters and pundits in 2022 and declared a winner.

The past month has seen the leftist media blame conservatives including the late great Rush Limbaugh for the gay nighclub shooting in Colorado, claimed Herschel Walker supporters were “comfortable with cruelty” and that the U.S. was as bad on human rights as Qatar — thanks to Republican governors. On the other hand they bent over backwards praising outgoing Speaker of the…

With the decisive Georgia run-off just days away, a new study by the Media Research Center finds the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts have blasted GOP candidate Herschel Walker with 88 percent negative coverage, while Democratic incumbent Raphael Walker has enjoyed 71 percent positive press.

The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) evening newscasts have almost completely buried Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock’s child support scandal, spending only 11 seconds on it since September 1. In stark contrast, the network evening newscasts (September 1 - November 16) flooded their airwaves (36 minutes, 21 seconds) with stories of women accusing his GOP opponent Herschel Walker of paying for…

The following are just a few of the media’s most frantic takes in the closing weeks and days before Election Day.

The following are just some of the most obnoxious outbursts from the now-canceled Tiffany Cross.  

Don Lemon will be starting his totally-not-a-demotion stint on CNN’s revamped morning show CNN This Morning this morning. So we at NewsBusters thought it would be nice to take a stroll down memory lane and look back at Lemon’s heinous remarks that the network would prefer were memory-holed. The following is an extended but by no means complete list of Lemon’s most obnoxious and…

A new MRC study of midterm election coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts finds Republicans are being walloped with 87% negative coverage while the networks' agenda for these stories — GOP candidate controversies, abortion rights and the danger of “election deniers” — perfectly match the topmost items in Democrats’ campaign playbook.

The following are just a few of the most outrageous examples of the liberal media trying to scare their viewers into voting for leftist candidates, lest the GOP put a nail in the coffin into democracy.

A new Media Research Center study finds that evening news viewers in August and September heard 13 times more critical statements about those Republican governors for their handling of a relative handful of migrants than of President Biden and his administration for their failure to keep the border secure in the first place.

Joe Biden uncorked two more brazen lies this week and the network newscasts ignored both of them. On Wednesday, the President insisted his son “lost his life” in Iraq. (Beau Biden served in Iraq, but died of brain cancer in Maryland.) On Tuesday, Biden repeated the claim that his house previously burned down in a massive blaze and that fire fighters were almost killed. (This is untrue.) 

Friday will mark two years since The New York Post broke the Hunter Biden laptop story and it’s been two full years of the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks doing all they can to avoid telling their audiences about the stunning…

Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski dropped bombshell after bombshell for a full hour on Tuesday’s edition of Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Tonight and not one second of it aired on any of the ABC, CBS or NBC morning shows on Wednesday. 

The media-backed October surprise is finally here. In the 24 hours since the liberal Daily Beast posted an accusation that Georgia Republican senatorial candidate Herschel Walker paid for an abortion in 2009, the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening newscasts devoted almost 21 minutes to hyping the allegations.
