Harkening back to a ridiculous tweet he posted late Wednesday night, CNN host Jake Tapper spit venom at what he called the “MAGA bubble” following Thursday's debate by suggesting they didn’t love their sons nor cared for strangers as the Bidens did. All of this, mind you, was done during the network’s post-debate analysis where he suggested the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was a lie so “sleazy…

Despite confirmation of the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s e-mails by the Department of Justice and new allegations of a Biden family scheme to partner with a Chinese Communist firm, ABC has REFUSED to report on all the New York Post bombshells about alleged corruption by Hunter Biden

A review of MRC’s archives shows that the President has reasons to be concerned about Kristen Welker’s ability to be fair during Thursday’s debate.

Traditionally, the final presidential debate questions focused on foreign policy. But on Friday, the Commission on Presidential Debates and moderator Kristen Welker of NBC spit in the eye of that precedent and decreed the final debate between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden be on a variety of topics (including climate change). And then on Monday, the commission upended…

The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks are doing everything they can to avoid investigating the latest Hunter Biden bombshells. Since the morning of October 14 when the New York Post published new evidence of Hunter Biden’s corrupt business dealings with Ukraine and Joe Biden’s potential knowledge of it the broadcast nets have buried the allegations.

Election Day is now just 17 days away, and we’re beginning to hear the media dismiss Trump’s chances, just as they did four years ago. But we all know what happened four years ago. At this point in that campaign, ABC’s Jonathan Karl was suggesting “not just a loss, but a blowout,” while then-CBS anchor Scott Pelley assured liberals: “No candidate down this far this late has ever recovered.”…

From October 14 through October 15 MRC analysts looked at the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows, plus ABC’s and NBC’s townhall events with Joe Biden and President Trump, as well as CNN and MSNBC’s coverage (6am through midnight). Out of a total of 92 hours of news programming, there was less than 10 minutes (9 minutes, 47 seconds) spent on the latest scandal involving Joe Biden’s son, or…

On Thursday morning, NewsBusters deputy research director Geoffrey Dickens predicted that NBC Today co-host Savannah Guthrie would “go nuts on [President] Trump” in the town hall later that evening. And he was spot on with his prediction as she directed 25 liberal questions, comments, and other such biased interactions at the President.

After kicking off Thursday by downplaying the bombshell New York Post report exposing alleged corruption by the Biden family as just President Trump trying to rehash “an old attack line,’ CBS Evening News knew it wasn’t sticking and shifted gears. No longer questioning the veracity of the emails and other disturbing discoveries, chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes…

Savannah Guthrie is NO fan of Donald Trump, and if her recent attacks on him are an indicator — look for the NBC Today show co-host to pepper the President with nasty questions at tonight’s townhall event.

In lieu of the now-cancelled presidential debate, ABC and NBC tonight will host town hall gatherings with President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. If fairness still counts for anything in 2020 (which we know is asking a lot), those networks will treat each candidate similarly to how they treated their rivals in previous town hall sessions.

During the Wednesday handoff between CNN’s Cuomo PrimeTime and CNN Tonight, the host of the latter, Don Lemon went on a tirade against NBC for allowing President Trump to address voters’ questions at a town hall event at the same time as Democratic nominee Joe Biden, on Thursday. Over time, his whining transitioned from just wanting the event to be held on a different night…

With Barrett’s hearings beginning today, we here at NewsBusters decided to take a quick look back at how hard celebrities first took the news of her nomination. Just imagine where their heads will be once Barrett is actually confirmed.

As Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris get ready to debate tonight, we at NewsBusters thought it would be helpful to remind our readers of the stark contrast in how the press has treated both VP candidates. The following are worst attacks on Pence followed by the media’s love of Harris, as culled from the MRC’s archives:
