New studies from NewsBusters demonstrate once again that "public" broadcasting inevitably tilts toward the leftist party, and the latest violent protest in Chicago and Portland prove once again that the press is pro-antifa, pushing their bizarre line that it's not an organized movement, it's just "an idea."

Three weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination, the media are back to promoting full-throated Nazi smears, especially denouncing ICE agents as Trump's "Gestapo." Plus: the liberal media celebrate the bravado of ICE-hating Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, recently named the half-time entertainer at Super Bowl 50 in February.  

Jane Fonda is relaunching her father's "Committee for the First Amendment," proclaiming Trump is engaged in a "coordinated campaign to silence critics." We're still reckoning with the dramatic Biden Administration pressure campaign to silence and deplatform critics across Big Tech platforms. But the pro-Biden media routinely ignore leftist censorship against conservative "misinformation."

The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey caused wailing and gnashing of teeth in the liberal TV studios. The most ridiculous argument came from anyone arguing that suddenly the nonpartisanship of our government prosecutors has come to an unprecedented end, as if Biden didn't weaponize the Justice Department, and Democrat prosecutors never sought to ruin Trump.

On Thursday’s Morning Joe, MSNBC allowed Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) to not only dispel concerns around the Dallas shooter’s motive, but to portray President Trump as a destroyer of free speech.

Google admitted the Biden administration pressured them to suppress “misinformation” from their opponents, and they shut down YouTube accounts from Dan Bongino, Steve Bannon, and Sebastian Gorka. But the networks ignore all that as they make Jimmy Kimmel into their free-speech hero, despite his non-stop lying on national TV.   

The networks were mostly respectful toward the Charlie Kirk memorial service on Sunday, unlike some left-wing outlets. HuffPost ran the headline "KIRK MEMORIAL RAGEFEST: TRUMP 'HATE' EULOGY." The New York Times headline was "At Kirk Service, an Extraordinary Fusion of Government and Christianity."

ABC stations revolted when late-night host Jimmy Kimmel uncorked some revolting remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk, lying against all evidence that the suspect is a Trump supporter. MRC President David Bozell and NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck joined me to review the current situation.

The Sunday "news" shows demanded that Republicans condemn angry speech by conservatives after the murder of Charlie Kirk, not leftist rhetoric. It's perverse after a conservative was gunned down on campus.

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,…
