The shock of Charlie Kirk being gunned down in Utah just doesn’t go away. There’s no one who’s been involved in conservative politics who doesn’t know about Charlie – even if some of us never met him – and there’s no one who doesn’t feel like this could have been the fate of any conservative speaker out in public. Managing Editor Curtis Houck lays out the worst of the bias that emerged in the…

The mood was somber on the Thursday edition of ABC’s The View. In addition to its being the 9/11 episode, the cast also had to react to the politically motivated assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Dressed mostly in black and other respectful colors, the ladies said all right things. But it sort of rang hollow given their previous lies about Kirk inviting neo-Nazis to…

Horror bubbled up on social media over the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who was randomly stabbed to death while riding the light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina, by a homeless man with an extensive criminal and mental health record. A young woman fled war in Ukraine only to find death in an American city. The liberal networks struggled to locate it.

Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I speak with 2022 MRC Bulldog Award winner Drew Holden to unspool some of his famous X threads calling out the liberal media’s bias. Living in the D.C. metro area, we take a deep dive in Holden’s findings regarding a dubious Washington Post poll claiming D.C. residents thought crime wasn’t an issue. We also examine the media’s knee-jerk reaction to the…

NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I were stunned by Sunday’s Face the Nation in which the show made a baffling decision to deceptively remove a key portion of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s answer about the alleged criminal record of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As our Bill D’Agostino wrote, this was part of a pattern of behavior from CBS News,…

Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I fill in for a somber edition of the NewsBusters Podcast as we break down and analyze the liberal media’s coverage of the Annunciation Catholic Church and school shooting. We take a look at the liberal media’s refusal to identify the obvious anti-Catholic motive and the shooter’s transgenderism, all while taking jabs at prayer not saving the kids murdered in…

When someone cries "no evidence," it’s probably because they can’t handle the evidence. CNN host Abby Phillip repeatedly argued over the weekend that there was no weaponization under Democrats because you can't identify a "Big Puppeteer" who has directed the entire conspiracy against Trump or Tea Party conservatives.

When is a non-lethal car accident a national news item -- and a car crash that killed three is not? When an illegal alien killed three. ABC, CBS, and NBC wouldn't touch the story of an illegal alien (with a commercial driver's license from California) who drove a truck so badly it killed three people during a bumbled U-turn in Florida. We discuss this and other wokeness topics with Bill D'…

The late professor Ted J. Smith accused the liberal networks of an “omnidirectional bias,” of granting negative coverage to Republicans regardless of where the winds blow, or the facts land. Nothing can go right or deserve praise. That goes double for President Trump over his talks with Russia and Ukraine.

President Trump's temporary takeover of law enforcement in DC caused an outburst of media protest, that somehow crime was at a "historic low" -- if you use bogus numbers. Plus to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NewsBusters, we remember some of the most outrageous examples of network nonsense with Geoffrey Dickens.

President Trump held a press conference Monday to announce a federal takeover of D.C. police, and CNN unfurled its usual fury, starting with Canadian "fact checker" Daniel Dale lamenting "there was a lot of deception." But was there? Dale hemmed and hawed over Trump's framing of crime stats, while allowing that D.C. is a high-crime city.

On Thursday, MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber compared President Trump’s lawsuits about false narratives to a “Soviet crackdown.”  

The Left was furious that Fox late-night host Greg Gutfeld was going to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. But the interview was non-political as they laughed about an old bar-hopping memory. After the Colbert cancellation, does it signal that Fallon wants a broader audience? Plus Nick Fondacaro recounts some of this week's lowlights.

Can a Republican member of Congress actually hold something called a “town hall meeting”? That would imply a space for civil discourse of a broad cross section of the community. Recent "town halls" have been dominated by booing and screaming Democrats -- who begin the din within 30 seconds. The networks could not even describe the booing screamers as Democrats.
