NewsBusters Podcast: Should Election News Revolve Around Pollsters?
News networks, newspaper and polling sites were embarrassed when the makers of the Wedgewood Poll admitted they were fakers. The polls weren’t real, but were being spread by The New York Times and MS NOW’s Ali Velshi, among others.

NewsBusters Podcast: The Probe Into 'American Ingrate' Ilhan Omar
When federal investigators raided the D.C. home of radical Rep.

NewsBusters Podcast: Welker's 'Meet the Concierge' Sitdown with Abdul
How can you tell if an interview's tough or soft? When interviewing Trump, the host will interrupt repeatedly to challenge him. When interviewing a Democrat, the answers can go on for 300 words without interruption -- a small speech.

NewsBusters Podcast: PBS = MS NOW When It Covers Republican Campaigns
For more than five decades, conservative and Republican taxpayers were forced to subsidize PBS and their routinely leftist "news," or messaging. In the midterms, we have found again that they overwhelmingly pounce on the Republicans with negative spin on their "News Hour." Nobody can argue that spinning against the GOP 94 percent of the time is synonymous with "the truth."
