Two recent NewsBusters studies identify patterns of liberal political communication. In the first 3 weeks after the writers strike ended, late-night comedy shows exploded with anti-Trump jokes. Over the last year, MSNBC has been especially egregious in making Nazi analogies about Trump and Republicans. Overall, conservatives using Nazi analogies are condemned, while liberals using them are…

Despite Hamas falsely accusing Israel of bombing a hospital in Gaza, media outlets like the AP are still reporting "Gaza Health Ministry" body counts, most recently claiming the death toll among Palestinians passed 8,000 -- "mostly women and minors." They're not looking for any "hallmarks of disinformation" for them.

The P in PBS doesn't really stand for "Public." The PBS NewsHour hates the Republican half of the public, and finds it easy to put on guests that compare today's Trump Republicans with Hitler and the mass-murdering Nazis. And yet they support using body counts from Hamas....

After House Republicans agreed on Mike Johnson as a Speaker nominee, ABC reporter Rachel Scott started asking typical "election denier" questions, and drew boos and a "shut up" from Republicans. Reporters were outraged...even though they were 2016 election deniers. 

As part of our research into George Soros, Joseph Vazquez discovered he funded a pro-Hamas group named Al-Shabaqa and wrote a 2007 op-ed titled "America and Israel Must Open the Door to Hamas." So why is it antisemitic to criticize this man?

President Biden is warning that after 9/11, America responded with "blind rage." But a look at our archives shows moral equivalence and loathing of patriotism in our media came quickly after 9/11. Bill Maher, Geraldo Rivera, Phil Donahue...it was a lineup of fools. 

While some media outlets -- especially "public broadcasters" -- eschew using the word "terrorist" to describe Hamas and Islamic Jihad, PBS and NBC and MSNBC were enjoying describing Jim Jordan as a "terrorist," because bitter former Speaker John Boehner smeared him in 2021.

CBS is so shamelessly partisan than it can pair a puffball interview with Joe Biden and a vicious attack piece on Ron DeSantis in the same 60 Minutes show. Add in leftist tilt at Face the Nation and Sunday Morning, and the whole day stinks for conservatives.

As Israel prepares a ground offensive in Gaza, suddenly the media discover the need for fairness and balance...on behalf of Hamas terrorists. The Republicans somehow don't deserve the consideration that "oppressed" Islamists receive. It's considered a respectable point of view to compare Israel to the Nazis, instead of a despicable smear. 

A seven-month study of PBS NewsHour segments on LGBT issues by Clay Waters found the taxpayer-funded "news" network was overwhelmingly favorable to the libertine left, promoting drag queens in Christmas parades and painting Republicans as endangering the very existence of people denying their biological reality.

After Hamas unleashed horrific atrocities in Israel from the Gaza strip, network Sunday show hosts asked "what say you" questions to Secretary of State Blinken while Republicans were disdained for their dissents at this terrible time.

ABC, CBS, and NBC reported the senseless murder of Antifa activist Ryan Carson in Brooklyn, but they downplayed his radicalism ("community activist") and ignored his girlfriend refusing to cooperate with police identifying the black suspect.

As the media warn viewers of the "hard right" Republicans who fired their Speaker, they can never identify a "hard left" Democrat, even when they pull a fire alarm in a House office building to delay a vote, like Rep. Jamaal Bowman did.

There was joy and excitement as Donald Trump appeared in a court to face accusations of fraud in his business practices. The networks, as usual, hyped the trip to the courthouse with live coverage. "TRUMP ARRIVES AT COURT FOR CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL," CNN announced like it was deeply impactful news.
