Chris Wallace announced he was leaving Fox News, and then he joined CNN’s new streaming service. He even said he was “delighted to join Jeff Zucker and his great team.” Oh, the network of Chris Cuomo? And Jeffrey Toobin? And Don Lemon?  

Thursday marked a harmonic convergence as we wave farewell to the careers of Brian Williams and Jussie Smollett, two fabulists who counted on the Left to promote their misinformation.

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we discuss how the broadcast networks have been reluctant and slow in covering the Jussie Smollett trial. ABC's been almost non-existent after energetically boosting Smollett's hate-crime hoax two years ago.

Only after Chris Cuomo was suddenly fired did CNN's Brian Stelter discover he'd crossed an ethical line "many times," that there were "so many headaches here, so many journalistic fouls."

The toughest part of Jen Psaki's White House briefing is dealing with respectful hardballs from Fox's Peter Doocy. On this episode of the Podcast, our briefing specialist and Managing Editor Curtis Houck discusses how Doocy made Psaki's spin this week just too lame to take seriously. 

Chris Cuomo lied to CNN about just how extensively he was helping his brother Andrew try to survive a wave of sex-harassment allegations. So he's been suspended "indefinitely," but Stelter is already hinting it might just be a month.

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we reflect on the amazing lack of self-awareness demonstrated by CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter as he led off his show Sunday with a commentary suggesting that other news outlets were partisan, and disparaged the president based on "feelings over facts."

In a special long-weekend edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, we look back to answer the question: How energetically did MSNBC smear Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist, white nationalist, or racist? Quite a bit. Joy Reid led a pack of smack talkers about Kyle being a little racist coward with an AR-15 menacing a violent neighborhood.

On the Sunday after Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty for using his gun in self-defense, the network shows lamented all the alleged racism in the verdict and let liberals lie about Rittenhouse's supposed criminal acts, like bringing an illegal gun across state lines. Teen vigilantes might even haunt prayer vigils! 

In the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we analyze the breaking news (and bias) around Kyle Rittenhouse being acquitted on all counts in the deaths of two men in Kenosha, Wisconsin during an intense evening of rioting. Typically, Joy Reid offered a cynical take on Twitter: "We knew, but it’s sometimes helpful to remind ourselves how America was designed to work. It continues to work as designed."…

Newspapers across America use Washington dispatches from the Associated Press on their front pages. But sometimes those AP articles are badly disguised press releases for Bidenites (like that rising star Pete Buttigieg) or worried pieces of sociology about Kyle Rittenhouse representing "gun culture."

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and White House briefing scribe Curtis Houck are hanging around to discuss the liberal media’s open disdain for average Americans as they scoff at those struggling to make ends meet because of inflation, with one even suggesting people were lying about their struggles.

Continuing to pinch hit for boss Tim Graham, Nick Fondacaro and I had a jam-packed show as we dove into the latest lunacy from MSNBC’s Joy Reid following a joint effort from her and a team of guests hurling more dangerous invective against anyone who opposes them, including parents wanting to remove pornographic material from schools. We also hammered the liberal media over their…

In this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Curtis Houck and I examined the liberal media malpractice in covering last week’s elections as they elevate state elections that suit their needs while relegating them to ‘local story’ status when they need to bury them. We also spoke with Research Director Scott Whitlock about calling out their obfuscation of the close governor’s race in New Jersey…
