September 28th, 2022 10:14 PM

This week, PolitiFact is hosting "United Facts of America," a so-called "festival of fact-checking. But the conference, like their website, betrays that they identify strongly with the liberal media, hosting journalists from NPR, PBS, and CNN. Our new study shows they're six times more likely to "fact check" people or websites criticizing Biden than "fact checking" the president.

February 6th, 2019 3:00 AM
At midnight Eastern Wednesday, MSNBC followed usual form for big news nights such as debates, election nights, and presidential speeches in somehow allowing Chris Matthews to host a late-night edition of Hardball to recap President Trump's State of the Union.

Behold! A 12 Pack of NewsBusters Blogs from Media's War on Kavanaugh

October 8th, 2018 4:20 PM
After almost a month of attempts to impugn Brett Kavanaugh with flimsy, uncorroborated, 11th hour allegations, the liberal media saw their attempts come up empty on Saturday with Kavanaugh’s official confirmation to the Supreme Court. But left behind in their wake was one dumpster fire after another, ranging from fake news to bias that radicalized even the most hardened Never Trumpers to rally…

Four Scorching Kavanaugh Hot Takes from Tuesday’s ‘Hardball’

September 25th, 2018 11:17 PM
Tuesday’s Hardball saw host Chris Matthews and a few of his guests come locked and loaded for battle, illustrating the left’s rabid desire to convict Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh in the court of public opinion and perhaps a future court of law based on, at best, wobbly evidence. With cameos from SiriusXM’s Zerlina Maxwell and everyone’s favorite fake Republican in The Washington Post’s…

Hyping Trump and Liberal Bias: Eight Stelter Takes on NRO Podcast

September 14th, 2018 5:10 PM
Published on Wednesday, the latest edition of National Review Online’s The Jamie Weinstein Show podcast featured a lively, hour-plus conversation with CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter.

‘Hardball’: WH Gossip Books Are Like the Gospels, Trump Lacks Empathy

September 12th, 2018 5:28 PM
MSNBC’s Hardball was in rare form on Tuesday, featuring host Chris Matthews and his various guests perpetually stepping in it. It started with Matthews comparing anti-Trump books to the synoptic Gospels and it snowballed from there, ranging from Matthews touting John Kerry’s new book as being so monumental, panelists the President lacking empathy for hurricane 9/11 victims, and ending with…

Thursdays with Chris: Three Dumb Takeaways from ‘Hardball’

September 7th, 2018 11:44 AM
Often times when watching MSNBC’s Hardball, it’s one moment that stands out in the sea of liberal bias and tomfoolery from longtime host Chris Matthews. But in other instances, it’s a potpourri of lunacy with Matthews and guests trying to one-up each other as walking Notable Quotables. Thursday’s show was a combination of the two with Matthews doing some heavy lifting with some help from New York…

Check Out Six Unhinged Moments from Aspen's Liberal Media Lovefest

July 5th, 2018 9:27 PM
The Aspen Ideas Festival has a reputation of being an elitist conclave of liberal academics, journalists, and pundits (with rare exceptions) to pat themselves on the back and how they could work together to advance their left-of-center worldviews. So it was no surprise when the late June gathering held a June 27 panel called “How We Survive Attacks on Journalism” and featured a who’s who from the…

May 22nd, 2018 3:43 PM
Soon after the Santa Fe, Texas school shooting, journalists and celebrities attacked those who they believe were the true culprits in the tragedy: Law-abiding gun owners and Second Amendment supporters. MSNBC host Chris Matthews was frustrated that “reasonable people have so little power at the ballot box” compared to gun-rights voters and was frustrated that the NRA seemed to be “immune to…

February 1st, 2018 3:28 PM
With Tuesday’s State of the Union well-received by the public (and not the liberal media), it was time to move on and back to spreading fake news, attacking Christians, and hurling around tired insults.

Here's Six Nutty Things from MSNBC's Late-Night SOTU Coverage

January 31st, 2018 6:16 PM
Late Tuesday, the President’s State of the Union address and Democratic response ended just shy of 11:00 p.m. Eastern, but MSNBC kept it going live until 2:00 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday. While it’s doubtful you stayed up to watch, you missed some mind-numbingly stupid quotes. Whether it’s suggesting Trump has committed treason or ghoulishly laughing about people fearing MS-13 gang violence, Chris…

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s Inauguration and in that time liberal reporters and hosts have been apoplectic in their reactions to the President’s brief time in office. The President was called every name in the book, from “racist” to “crazy.” Journalists were also convinced he was going to get all of us killed. The following is a look at the Most Obnoxious Attacks on…
