NewsBusters Podcast: We've Nailed the Tilt of Illegal Alien Anecdotes
The networks demonstrated biases by their choice of anecdotes. They completely skip murders by illegal aliens, like the newly convicted killer of Rachel Morin. Instead, they've gone all in to advocate for illegal alien Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, despite his gang connections and domestic-violence accusations. Geoffrey Dickens and Bill D'Agostino discuss their studies on the TV coverage.

NB Podcast: Michelle Obama's Favorite Artist Drops Hate Bomb on NPR
NPR is not an oasis of civility. On Friday's All Things Considered, they aired a positive story on black artist Amy Sherald, best known for painting a portrait of Michelle Obama for the National Portrait Gallery. In response to Trump's executive order cracking down on Smithsonian wokeness, Sherald said "I feel like every portrait that I make is a counterterrorist attack to counter…

NewsBusters Podcast: Lester Holt Hypes the 'Trump Tariff Meltdown'
If Trump’s second term was a movie, the network news anchors would title it Trump Tariff Meltdown. In all the tariff turbulence, the networks have obsessed over economics with a very negative tone, even on the typically soft-news morning shows. Good news on inflation and employment is buried in the "meltdown" hype.

NewsBusters Podcast: People Ask Why Would Anyone Study 'The View'?
NewsBusters just published a study demonstrating that ABC's 'The View' is a double-reinforced leftist bubble. Over the last three months, they welcomed on 63 guests pushing a liberal agenda, and zero conservatives or Republicans. Why would we do that? Nick Fondacaro explains.

NewsBusters Podcast: Zucker-Coached Jake Tapper Isn't On the Left?
CNN anchorman Jake Tapper, in 2025, proclaimed on his show that he is NOT on the Left. But in the first Trump term, CNN boss Jeff Zucker made them ALL take a side at CNN. They had to uncork grand speeches. "We call them homilies," said Tapper in 2020. CNN is not a church.

NewsBusters Podcast: Cory Booker's 25 Heroic Hours of Democrat Babble
Sometimes you can sense that Happy News for Democrats is the most important kind of news. Sen. Cory Booker speaking on the Senate floor for 25 hours, unloading wheelbarrows of Democrat talking points, isn't exactly epic. But Democrats in the media will pretend it is. "It was nothing less than the most dramatic and powerful Senate speech I have ever heard," gushed MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell…

NewsBusters Podcast: White House Reporters Already Having a Bad Week
The White House Correspondents Association is already having a bad week. They fired comedian Amber Ruffin from their White House Correspondents Dinner. Add to that President Trump is taking over the seating chart in the White House Briefing Room. What will they do as the left sees them as weak? Curtis Houck takes it on.

NewsBusters Podcast: How Do You Solve a Problem Like Jasmine Crockett?
A CNN poll found Jasmine Crockett tied with Barack Obama when they asked Democrats which leader "best reflects the core values" of the Democrat Party. If she's that beloved, why doesn't she get more press attention?

NewsBusters Podcast: NPR, PBS Bosses Bizarrely Profess 'No Bias Here'
In a House hearing, Republicans pressed the bosses of PBS and NPR on the blatant leftist bias of their news shows, and both leaders claimed these networks are unbiased and nonpartisan. No one believes this.

NewsBusters Podcast: Cheering and Laughing at the 'Tesla Takedown'
Rooting for bad things to happen to your adversaries isn't unusual. But when Rush Limbaugh said "I hope he fails" about incoming President Obama in 2009, leftists suggested he should be executed for treason. Now, people are talking about vandalism against Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles and dealerships, and crowds cheer and laugh as the Tesla stock price sinks. The double standard is obvious, with…

NewsBusters Podcast: LOL at PBS Claiming 'Public Media Belongs to You'
In a recent email, DC PBS station WETA sent an email to donors still squeezing good will out of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. We're told "public media belongs to you," and PBS believes in sharing "the good that we know is in one another." Anyone who watches PBS or listens to NPR knows this isn't true.

NewsBusters Podcast: Why Should Team Trump Play Nice at Press Parties?
Karoline Leavitt announced she's not attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, which looks like an even better decision after the journalists ripped Trump and Musk and Hegseth at the "Gridiron Club" dinner. Journalists complain about Trump "curtailing media access," which is ludicrous compared to how much access reporters were given to President Biden.

NewsBusters Podcast: Josh Hammer on Israel, Civilization, and Media
Why are the media so hostile to Israel and so sympathetic to pro-Hamas activists? Why should America stick with Israel as an ally in global geopolitics? MRC Business editor Joseph Vazquez and I asked Josh Hammer, author of the new book Israel and Civilization.

NewsBusters Podcast: No Media Apologies, 5 Years After Covid Lockdowns
We've reached the five-year anniversary of when the U.S. government locked down the country to curb the Covid pandemic. It lasted much longer than "Two weeks to stop the spread." CBS and PBS explored the anniversary, but there were no apologies for getting so much of the "science" wrong and using the pandemic so mercilessly against Trump and Republican governors in an election year.
