From January 2016 to April 2016, he also acted as the Sunday news analyst for NewsBusters.

In the 12 years that he's been with NewsBusters, his work has been featured across the political spectrum on Fox News Channel, CNN, and outlets such as The Blaze, Breitbart, The Daily Caller, The Daily Wire, Drudge Report, The Federalist, FoxNews.com, Los Angeles Times, The Mark Levin Show, Mediaite, New York Times, Red State, The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Resurgent, Townhall, Washington Examiner, Washington Free Beacon, The Washington Post, The Washington Times, and The Wrap. He’s a frequent guest on Newsmax and Real America's Voice and nearly 1,000 television appearances across those networks as well as the Fox News Channel, Newsmax, Newsmax2, One America News Network, Salem News Channel, The First TV, Cheddar, and Fox 5 D.C. On the radio airwaves, he has made over 1,200 appearances from coast to coast on both local and nationally-syndicated programs. His articles and tweets have been shared by conservative leaders such as Dan Bongino, Erick Erickson, Greg Gutfeld, Mark Levin, Kayleigh McEnany, Stephen Miller, Dave Rubin, Ryan Saavedra, and Ben Shapiro.

He returned full-time to the MRC after serving in summer 2013 as an intern with CNS News.
