New York Times columnist Margaret Sullivan laughably proclaimed on March 10 that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis “is just getting started with his rightwing agenda. That should worry us all, yet the media mostly fawns over him.” Sullivan added: “DeSantis enjoys glowing treatment from the mainstream press.” The claim is ridiculous on its face. The following are just some of the most…

It’s not just the gaffes. President Joe Biden has a serious and well-documented problem when it comes to repeatedly telling outright lies. We at NewsBusters wanted to look at some of the most egregious fibs Biden has made just during his administration and how much time (if any) the broadcast networks devoted to knocking them down.

Liberal journalists and some celebrities have spent the last month depicting conservatives (who are merely paring back leftist indoctrination to K-12 kids) as racist bigots whose pushback against the woke agenda in public schools will bring harm to Black Americans. The following are some of the worst examples of leftists in the media attacking conservatives for their pushback against wokeness…

Journalists love to use past presidents to measure today’s politicians, either to build up those who exemplify their historical liberal heroes, or to belittle conservatives with whom they disagree. Here’s a deep dive into the MRC’s archives showing how the media have used presidents from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln to JFK as talking points in today’s political battles.

The following are just some of the worst outbursts from Yamiche Alcindor via the NewsBusters archive. 

A new study from the Media Research Center finds the overwhelming majority (84%) of TV news coverage of the ongoing inflation disaster failed to mention President Biden or his administration — and when reporters did discuss the President, they mostly depicted him as working to solve the problem, rather than blaming him for causing it.

On Wednesday, Congress begins their first public hearings on President Joe Biden’s family, including his son Hunter and his ties (revealed in his infamous laptop) to foreign companies. These hearings give the broadcast networks a new opportunity to actually cover these new developments. The following are 10 brand new Hunter stories the networks have censored.

Since the mass shooting in Monterey Park, California on Saturday, viewers of English and Spanish broadcast networks have seen the reported number of mass shootings in the United States jump from 33 to 39 in just three days. And as CBS Morning’s co-host Nate Burleson put it on Tuesday, “my logic says that has to be wrong, those numbers have to be exaggerated, and they are not.” But…

Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have been silent about the arrest of Jared Dowell, the adult child of Congresswoman Katherine Clark (D-MA), for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a riot. Since the arrest late on Saturday, January 21, none have spent even a second of airtime on the incident, despite Clark being the House Minority Whip.

This weekend, ABC, CBS and NBC did exactly what the Biden administration hoped they would do by giving just 25 seconds to a devastating new report about the crisis at the U.S.-Mexican border.

MRC analysts reviewed ABC, CBS, NBC morning, evening and Sunday roundtable shows from December 2 (when the Twitter files story broke) through the morning of January 18 and found only CBS (barely) covered the Twitter files story on Hunter. 

Democratic Congresswoman Hillary Scholten from Michigan used her “pro-choice Christian” values to defend abortion in her opposition of the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act that passed Wednesday, Jan 11. Her misuse of biblical principles has become a common tactic of the left.
