PolitiFact co-founder Bill Adair is still doing liberal-media interviews for his book on why Republicans lie more. He admitted to a public-radio host that the "Truth-O-Meter" is an imprecise, subjective measurement. Everything about the "independent fact-checkers" is loaded with partisan opinion.

This week, illegal alien Jose Ibarra was convicted of the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. PBS and NPR have aired next to nothing on Riley over the last 6 months. Curtis Houck and Bill D'Agostino explain their studies of broadcast and cable news coverage of the Laken Riley trial. 

Washington Examiner columnist David Harsanyi's new book The Rise of Blue-Anon underlines that the conspiracy theories on the Democrat side are not on the fringes. They come from the very center of the party establishment and the one-party media. Like MSNBC's Michael Beschloss suggesting your kids will be killed if Republicans win.

The media are freaking out over Trump’s Cabinet picks, because the freakout machine must be kept humming. But you can see the wheels turning there. If you’re a liberal Democrat, they assume you’re automatically qualified and super-intelligent. Because you're a liberal Democrat.

Pete Hegseth is a 20-year Army veteran with two combat tours, two Bronze Stars, and two Army Commendation Medals, but his nomination to be the secretary of defense has brought out the worst in the liberal media. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I break down the media’s disgusting diminution of Hegseth’s career, and call out the liberal ladies of The View for their…

The ladies of "The View" were besides themselves over Donald Trump winning the White House again. Sunny Hostin lashed out at "uneducated" white women, Latino sellouts, and then America as a whole. An actual debate broke out over the need for self-reflection. Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar refused that entirely. Associate Nick Fondacaro explains. 

The media "professionals" are seriously distraught. They deeply believe that they were destined to be the saviors of democracy. They have to be amazed and perplexed that their hours and hours and years and years of negative media bias toward Donald Trump did not sink in with the voters.

The networks grumbled into the final weekend of the fall campaign, imagining their nightmare scenario -- a second Trump term. Chuck Todd was unintentionally hilarious about how this would ruin democracy, turn it into "kleptocracy," and worst of all, the Democrats might emulate the Republicans and start lying and exaggerating about their opponents. (Yes, he said that.) Jorge Bonilla joins the…

Our latest NewsBusters study of all the jokes on late-night "comedy" shows this fall found that 98 percent of the jokes about presidential candidates were about Donald Trump, and only 2 percent about Kamala Harris. Our late-night watcher Alex Christy explains just how this remarkable tilt by the "comedians" erupts night after night. Kamala is mostly off-limits to joke about.

If the tone of media coverage decided the election, it would be a landslide for Kamala Harris. The media have never more energetically taken a side for a candidate. MRC founder and president Brent Bozell and I discussed the latest MRC studies proving the worst campaign bias we've ever documented, not only on TV news, but even on TV "comedy" shows. It's a "Brent Bozell Show" crossover episode…

The New York Times "news" team described Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally as a "Closing Carnival of Grievances, Misogyny and Racism." But what do you really think? There were a whole set of mudslinging headlines to cover the Sunday MAGA speeches in New York City.

Hillary Clinton appeared on the Kaitlan Collins show on CNN to elaborate on the theme that Donald Trump is a fascist. She implied Trump's upcoming rally at Madison Square Garden will resemble the Nazis rallying there in 1939. She's a bitter clinger.

Just like four years ago, The Atlantic magazine is running the claims of anonymous gossips that Donald Trump hates the American military, and he wishes he had generals like Adolf Hitler had. CBS Evening News jumped right on this garbage barge, leading its newscast with unproven allegations. MRC's Bill D'Agostino shares his thoughts.

On Sunday night, the the 60 Minutes team at CBS News put out a statement of self-defense about their sneaky or sleazy editing of their Kamala Harris interview special. The word salad aired in a Face The Nation promo didn’t match the more coherent answer that aired the next night.
