There were two big TV interviews on October 11. CNN kicked off their primetime Jake Tapper show with a softball interview with Biden, while NBC reporter Dasha Burns sternly questioned John Fetterman. Kevin Tober joins the show to analyze it all.

The networks (in English and Spanish) loathe Republican governors Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis for busing or flying migrants to "sanctuary cities" and making them live up to their own rhetoric about compassion for the flood of humanity. The wealthy lefties on Martha's Vineyard couldn't tolerate a small influx for more than a day or two.

Just when the liberal media hoped and prayed that the Hunter Biden story would stay dead in 2022, The Washington Post reported the feds may have the goods on Hunter's tax evasion. How did the networks greet this story? (Hint: PBS and NPR pretended it didn't happen.)

The Daily Beast dumped out allegations that Georgia's black Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker paid for an abortion in 2009, and now is running as an anti-abortion candidate. The women on The View came unglued about Walker and dumped on conservative talker Dana Loesch for suggesting this story isn't going to shake GOP support for Walker.

Sunday's Washington Post Magazine carried a cover story titled "Why I'm Leaving America" by Post reporter DeNeen Brown. "As a Black woman, I want freedom from oppression." She wants to "move among people who look like me," and not have to debate America's incurable racism.

It was a week of Biden-Harris gaffes -- and the media energetically ignoring Biden-Harris gaffes. Vice President Harris mysteriously said we had a great relationship with North (and not South) Korea. President Biden held a hunger event where he wanted to be bipartisan, so he asked on camera where Rep. Jackie Walorski was -- when she died weeks ago in a car crash.

Stephen Kruiser of PJ Media said it was "beyond ludicrous" for liberal media outlets to have "fact checkers" when they sound like "flying monkeys" for the Democrats (like The Wizard of Oz.) Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler claims you can't say Democrats favor no limits on abortions -- which is true -- because late-term abortions are rare and whenever they happen,…

As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Media Research Center, we recall our list of the types of media bias that we take into account in our "news busting." MRC's Brent Baker put our list in his 1994 book titled How to Identify, Expose, and Correct Liberal Media Bias.

CBS journalist Scott Pelley was as firm as jelly in his 60 Minutes interview with President Biden. His "questions" were often like "what did you think?" and "I wonder why you think that is." Kevin Tober joins the show to analyze all of the sappy passages that sound like the White House wrote them.

As Joe Biden turned to James Taylor to croon about "inflation reduction," we discuss the dregs of the Cultural Left with MRC's Tierin-Rose Mandelburg. We talk the lesbian moms on "Peppa Pig," a drag queen on "Dancing with the Stars" on Disney-Plus, and Hillary Clinton applauding "WAP" rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, associate editor Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and managing editor Curtis Houck discuss the Cackling Coven of The View returning for their 26^th season on ABC “News.” In only two episodes this week, the cast proved they’re as ignorant and partisan as ever, with Whoopi Goldberg cursing out Republicans and defending Democratic denials…

President Biden gave a nasty primetime speech on how 'MAGA Republicans' are a threat to American democracy, and the media celebrated it as "reclaiming patriotism." Meanwhile, Geoffrey Dickens joins the show to discuss his latest chronicle of how the network news skips each and every juicy tidbit of Hunter Biden's shady business dealings, and especially the ones which involve meeting with "The…

When they announced the death of the last dictator of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, the liberal media elite broke out the valentines, giving Gorbachev all the credit for tearing down the Iron Curtain of communism. Ronald Reagan dared Gorbachev to tear down the wall, and Gorbachev is painted as a “towering international hero” for just letting it happen. Media liberals can't give Reagan…

The liberal media are desperate to motivate their base to turn out and vote in November to stem a red wave from sweeping the country from House and Senate races down to the state and local levels. As associate editor Nick Fondacaro and I discussed on Monday’s show, it’s the latest manufactured narrative to steer public discourse away from the economy, gas prices, inflation, and even the…
