STUDY: PolitiFact's Much More Likely to Defend Biden Than Check Him

In Biden's first year, MRC analysts found Biden was fact-checked 40 times, while Biden critics were checked on 230 occasions.…

STUDY: How the Networks Buried One Year of Biden’s Disasters, Failures
As of January 20th, 2022, Joe Biden will have completed his first year as president. He will do so deeply unpopular, cratering to the mid 30s in two recent polls.

They have ignored controversies involving Hunter Biden, as well as extremist nominees from the…

Priorities: CNN Spends Almost 3x More on January 6 Than Inflation News

As NewsBusters documented Thursday morning, the anniversary of January 6 was their Super Bowl as the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) spent nearly 90-combined-minutes obsessing over the riot at the Capitol like their political careers depended on it.
