There are signs in the polls that Democrats are not going to do well in the midterm elections. But the direst numbers are President Biden's approval ratings and his terrible numbers on handling inflation. CNN says they're worse than Jimmy Carter's!

Liberal haters of Fox News (like NPR's media reporter) shame Fox for ignoring "unwelcome facts," even as NPR couldn't do one story on the failed Brett Kavanaugh assassin.

Democrats talked all the networks (except Fox News) into a breathless hearing (or retelling) of January 6. But it felt like a summer rerun.

As news broke of a man approaching the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh hoping to kill him, CNN tried to downplay the leftist and suggest "both sides" might be a threat after the Supreme Court's abortion ruling. The media doesn't like covering fire-bombing pro-life offices and vandalism at crisis pregnancy centers and Catholic churches.

Brian Stelter is upset that Fox and Newsmax will not commit to airing hours of live prime-time propaganda from the liberal-stacked House January 6 committee. You're not a "news channel" unless you follow Stelter's orders. It's a "broken information environment" if he's not obeyed. Stelter even characterized the conservative channels as a "schism" from news orthodoxy.

In the heated environment after two mass shootings, we review all the calls for banning "assault weapons" and AR-15s, and our Nick Fondacaro picks apart the "facts" the gun-grabber media gets wrong.

Special counsel John Durham's first trial in his investigation of the origins of the Russian collusion probe was ignored by the networks for weeks....until the accused Hillary Clinton lawyer was found Not Guilty. Then it was a "stinging defeat" and "major blow"!

NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick Fondacaro and I assumed the helm for Friday’s show and, following a heavy week for the country following Tuesday’s deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, we spent the episode doing a deep dive on the various liberal media narratives that immediately came to the surface.

While most Americans think Biden's economy is bad, we should recall that under Trump, the networks were highly allergic to reporting the good news. Record-low unemployment rates (including for women and minorities) and record stock-market highs were routinely skipped by the network "news" shows. 

The horrible supermarket shooting in Buffalo is only the latest in a long string of occasions where liberal-media stars blamed conservative "rhetoric" for violent deaths. Why must they do this? We made a list that began with the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, all the way up to today.

Liberal media corporations seem eager to pressure other large corporations to speak out and financially support liberal crusades, especially for abortion.

It felt like a shocking victory when the Washington Post reported the Department of Homeland Security has "paused" its Disinformation Governance Board. The reporter on this scoop was Taylor Lorenz, the social-media columnist who imagines herself as a guardian of women on the savage internet.

Bill Maher attacked the notion that the federal government would run an effort against "disinformation" broadly defined. When a racist teen shot up a Buffalo supermarket, disinformation broke out as liberal outlets raced to connect it somehow to Tucker Carlson and Fox News.

In this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Curtis Houck and I are joined by special guest Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life. Together we discuss the ghoulish arguments against the pro-life movement and dispel them. We examine the nonsense from the insufferable cast of The View, such as Whoopi Goldberg claiming “it doesn’t matter” when an unborn child gets their…
