While it was obvious to all that President Biden’s debate performance Thursday night was an unmitigated disaster that had Democrats scrambling behind the scenes for a new candidate, it wasn’t for CNN’s lack of skewing the debate questions in Biden’s favor. According to a NewsBusters analysis of the questions, there were 11 from the left, seven neutral questions, and only three from the right…

We've been clear that our expectations for Jake Tapper and Dana Bash in this CNN debate are low, considering their years of Trump-trashing antics. It's a little amazing that they are pledging in advance that they don't plan to "fact check" the candidates, because the moderators aren't "participating" in the debate. Don't buy it. 

Nick Fondacaro broke a story on how debate moderator Jake Tapper's show aired a nasty hit piece that spurred a defamation lawsuit from a man working to evacuate people out of Afghanistan. Internal messages show profane malice from reporter Alex Marquardt and others. It's no one's idea of idealistic investigative journalism. It sounds like Gotcha journalism.

On The Reidout (or Freakout), Joy Reid ripped into Louisiana for requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools. The "Christian nationalists" are upsetting the "freedom from religion" crowd and they're clueless about Moses to boot.

Brian Stelter is back on CNN again, claiming that somehow the videos showing Joe Biden bumbling are somehow sometimes “made up.” CNN host Abby Phillip asked Stelter on Monday about what's being "deceptively characterized" in Biden's public appearances. Stelter claimed: "This is a real problem. This is not some made-up fiction. The videos are oftentimes made up, but the problem is real."

The panic over President Biden's debate performance in 10 days has already broken out. On Friday night, MSNBC host Alex Wagner whined that Donald Trump will be held to a much lower standard than Biden during the debates. Journalist Susan Glasser agreed, saying the MAGA base doesn't hold Trump "accountable" like...well, hostile leftist Democrat journalists.

The network newscasts and national newspapers greeted the Hunter Biden verdicts with sappy pictures and talk of "family turmoil." No one can be allowed to say that Joe and Jill Biden are bad parents, enablers of bad behavior.

On 'Morning Joe,' Mika Brzezinski ripped Fox News for deciding Trump is not a dictator-in-waiting. He only joked with Sean Hannity about being a "dictator" on Day One. Trump is insane, she said, and "loves dictators and wants to be one." So you have to vote for Biden because only he "endorses democracy." 

As Hunter Biden is tried on gun charges in Delaware, Geoffrey Dickens joins the show to remind us how scoops about the Bidens (Joe, Hunter, Uncle Jim) in the New York Post and Politico are persistently ignored by ABC, CBS, and NBC.

Reporters might admit the Trump convictions are a "political gift" for the Democrats, but they still claim there's "no evidence" the prosecution was political -- and especially, that anyone could claim Biden and his administration were behind it. The networks strongly suppressed the painfully obvious notion that Democrats are prosecuting Trump to damage his re-election chances.

The last 24 hours have been like drinking water out of a firehose for us here at NewsBusters as the liberal media have been sounding off nearly non-stop on former President Trump being found guilty on 34 felony counts. Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I pour out the media reactions into their respective buckets ranging from gleeful to a hunger for harsher punishments to a faux-sobriety that…

Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult is out now and hosts Nick Fondacaro and Curtis Houck speak with author Mary Margaret Olohan about what she’s discovered in speaking with several young women and men who had fallen victim to transgender ideology. They discuss the Orwellian doublespeak handed out in the form of style guides to the liberal media by groups like…

Alongside Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro for this Friday edition of the show, we dove into the wholly manufactured liberal media storyline (courtesy of The New York Times) of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and flags outside his homes as a sign he’s ethically and morally compromised as a jurist and – gasp – a far-right extremist! Simply put, the obsession over this story and the…

The latest NewsBusters study found 573 minutes of Trump-trial coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC, but less than eight minutes for the trial of Sen. Bob "Gold Bars" Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey. It's funny how GOP scandals always "overshadow" the Democrats when the networks create the "news."
