NB Podcast

On Sunday's Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter made a big sloppy ridiculous point that somehow Trump was comparable to Jim Jones, who oversaw a mass suicide of 900 followers. Inside his bubble, Stelter blames the right-wingers for destroying the credibility of the press. He never sees garbage like this as hurting the media's image for fairness. Fairness is overrated.

We made it to the end of another week of Curtis Houck and I filling in for Tim Graham. He’ll be back on Monday, but we have a blast and we hope you enjoyed listening to us and our interns. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the coming reimplementation of the dreaded mask mandates, President Biden snapping at a Fox News reporter, and CNN’s Chris “Fredo” Cuomo getting called out on his…

On today’s podcast, Curtis Houck and I discuss the return of the mask. No, not the 90’s R&B hit Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison, but the return of the CDC’s demand that everyone return to wearing facemasks including those of us who have played by the rules and have gotten vaccinated already. We also cover the theatrical proceedings known as the January 6 Select Committee hearings. And…

The night crew makes it return as Curtis Houck and Nicholas Fondacaro will be serving as co-hosts for the week with Tim Graham out of the office. On today’s episode, the guys went through the liberal media’s silence on Hunter Biden’s latest escapade, Carl Bernstein calling Trump a “war criminal,” Tucker Carlson being harassed in public, and the rest of the past week’s news that Fondacaro…

In the newest NewsBusters Podcast, we discuss CNN's softball townhall with President Biden, and how moderator Don Lemon let the president make wild claims without any attempt to fact-check him. NB managing editor Curtis Houck breaks down the partisan tilt of this embarrassing show. 

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we address a hot topic inside our own offices: How do we feel about kneeling American Olympians? Should Americans root for them anyway....or root for them to lose? The women's soccer team losing their opening match to Sweden was greeted with some mockery. And how will NBC News and Sports deal with protesting American Olympians?

The Washington Post and Time magazine have both uncorked new hit pieces on Fox News primetime star Tucker Carlson as a terrible source of misinformation and "White grievance." It will only help him win his time slot.

The latest NewsBusters Podcast addresses the Hunter Biden art-sale scandal -- Paintergate? -- and how the NBC Nightly News actually aired a story addressing the ethical concerns around the president's rehabbed son selling his painting for as much as $500,000 to buyers who will remain unknown to Joe and Hunter Biden. NBC interviewed Obama's former ethics czar Walter Shaub, who thought…

On the podcast: Trump-hating journalist Julia Ioffe talked to distraught anonymous reporters about how "Democrats have a much thinner skin" and "expect you to be on your side." They complain that they don't miss Trump, but Team Biden is so “opaque” and stifling. These poor babies.

New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones has become a massive celebrity on the left for heading up the "1619 Project" at her paper. It was hot news when her alma mater, the University of North Carolina, made her a professor but then had a controversy over awarding her tenure. The liberal networks competed furiously to get the first interview with Hannah-Jones as she showily spurned…

MSNBC was having Temper Tantrum Night on Thursday over the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Arizona voting laws -- "restrictions" in liberal lingo. Joy Reid warned on Thursday night their ruling on Arizona was another "violent blow to democracy."  Chris Hayes claimed the conservative movement is radicalizing on the notion of denying voters of color.

Somehow, ABC, CBS, and NBC are collectively bored by the vote-counting failures in New York City, where they mistakenly included 135,000 test ballots in their vote counting. ABC, however, can get excited about the saccharine-sweet cover story on Jill Biden in Vogue magazine.

There's something about ballot-integrity laws that send liberal journalists off a cliff of panic. On Sunday's Meet the Press, PBS White House reporter Yamiche Alcindor claimed Republicans were causing s an "existential crisis" on voting in America, when turnout in 2020 was historically large. She claimed Republicans want to squash all votes that aren't Republican votes. Where did she…

The networks touted Biden's alleged bipartisan triumph on an infrastructure deal on Thursday night. But did you see the clips of President Biden breaking out the whispers repeatedly when he talked to the press? Even Stephen Colbert told him he was creepy. He whispered “it’s a little creepy.”
