NewsBusters Podcast: When KJP Rules Your Corruption Question Is DOA
A new MRC study by Bill D'Agostino found that of 337 Biden-scandal questions asked of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in the second half of 2023, only eight (2.38 percent) drew an answer instead of a maddening deferral or a blatant refusal to answer. The answer was meant to be a dead end, so you'd avoid that street.
Whoopi: Poors Shouldn’t Care About Prices, Trump Wants You in a Camp
Multimillionaire TV host and movie star Whoopi Goldberg lashed out at poor people during Monday’s edition of ABC’s The View. She was irate that poor people would dare to be upset about having to pay high prices for basic goods and vote against President Biden because of it. She told them to ignore inflation and suggested that if they didn’t, and former President Trump returned to the…
NewsBusters Podcast: The Extreme Leftist Tilt in Late-Night Jokes
A new Media Research Center study by Alex Christy underlines that the late-night jesters on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Comedy Central overwhelmingly tilt their political jokes to whack Republicans. So Alex joins the show to explain the mysterious joking patterns of liberal comedians inside their precious silos.
NewsBusters Podcast: The Hottest Media Takes of 2023 Are About 2024
As another state seeks to take Donald Trump off the ballot, the year's worst political takes in 2023 were about what might happen after the 2024 election, like claiming Trump will execute his enemies (like MSNBC hosts) in a second term, and maybe Ron DeSantis signaling that blacks are worthy of "extermination."
NewsBusters Podcast: Chris Matthews Finds the Green Acres of Terrorism
The news cycle is slower between the holidays, but there's still something ridiculous. On MSNBC, Chris Matthews compared "rural rage" at the liberal elites to....terrorist groups in Afghanistan and Iraq who hate the U.S. military.
NewsBusters Podcast: Ana & Alyssa Don't Bring 'A Game' to 'The View'
As 2023 winds down, it's time to review the best (or the worst) of "The View." Nick Fondacaro discusses how Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin are alleged to represent a Republican viewpoint, but most of the time, they are just as liberal as the others, and demand the Republicans surrender on social issues like abortion.
NewsBusters Podcast: Censors Save Us from 'Risky' Right-Wing Websites?
A think tank called the "Global Disinformation Index" compiled a "dynamic exclusion list" to help advertisers avert "risky" right-wing websites engaging in "misinformation." The list included the New York Post, The Blaze, the Daily Wire, and The Federalist. The censors' list of "reliable" sites included HuffPost and BuzzFeed, which printed the "Steele Dossier," a complete garbage barge of…
NewsBusters Podcast: Capitol Porn, Trans Panic, and Trump Exhaustion
The networks and major papers avoided all talk of a Democrat Senate aide getting fired over making a gay porn video in a Senate hearing room. NBC included a "trans woman" in a focus group saying Republicans would execute him, and Nikki Haley told ABC's Jonathan Karl that the media's obsession over every Trump tidbit is "exhausting."
NewsBusters Podcast: When 'Fact Checkers' Sound Like Lefty Columnists
They describe themselves as "independent fact-checkers," but they're not. They sound like liberal columnists, which is why conservatives and Republicans disdain their partisan rulings. Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren have been "fact checked" very, very differently in the last decade. Alex Christy discusses the chapter he wrote with Brent Baker in the new book A Future for the News.
Matt Walsh: 'The Bud Light Boycott Is Still On’
The Daily Wire host Matt Walsh declared that "the Bud Light boycott is still on,” after Dana White called for conservatives to drink the woke company’s beer.
NewsBusters Podcast: Christmas Comedians Kick Over the Nativity Set
Comedians wouldn't cast a shadow on a single page of the Koran, but it's always fair game to mock the marriage of Mary and Joseph, and joke that Joseph was gay. Christians and their New Testament stories are irresistible grist for mockery. But mock Hillary Clinton, and there's hell to pay on the Jimmy Kimmel set.
The NYT Joins the Acela Media’s Collective Freakout Over Univision
The idea that the onetime home of Walter Duranty should be taken seriously on anything pertaining to an editorial shift, or concern over an editorial shift at any other media outlet, is laughable. But, alas, here we are. The Old Grey Lady is the latest to weigh in on the Acela Media’s collective panic over Univision’s interview of former President Donald Trump specifically, and over a…
NewsBusters Podcast: Biden's Bad Polls and Worse Lies
The pro-Biden media is trying not to panic as their own polls show Biden is not only losing to Donald Trump, he's losing on ethical behavior in the wake of the latest Hunter Biden indictment. When asked about the Biden family business, the president claims it's all "lies" that he met with his son's business clients. Media laziness lets him keep lying.
NB Podcast: 'Staunch Conservative' Liz Cheney Wants a Democrat Sweep
CBS and NBC touted Liz Cheney as a big "conservative' even as she called for Trump and the Republicans to be denied office in 2024. The staunch conservatives want Democrats to win everything? How does that compute?
