Colbert's Christmas Cartoon Has Trump, ICE Arrest Santa
Every year, CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s final The Late Show episode before Christmas features a politically-inspired cartoon meant to make his liberal audience feel all warm and fuzzy inside. With liberals feeling extra sad this year, Thursday’s cartoon featured President Trump and various administration officials arresting Santa Claus and his elves only for them to turn the tables at the…
Brooks Claims 'Gigantic Portraits' Of Trump Remind Him Of Stalin, Mao
New York Times columnist and PBS News Hour talking head David Brooks loves himself some Stalin and Mao analogies. Back in May, he compared Elon Musk and DOGE to the murderous dictators. This Friday, he compared President Trump, the renaming of the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, and “gigantic portraits” of Trump to the communist tyrants and claimed it reminded him…
Poll: PolitiFact Readers 'Lie of the Year' Is 'No Starvation' In Gaza

CNN's Bash Admits New Epstein Pix Have No Context But Leads With It
On Thursday, one day before the deadline for the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee were at it again, releasing 68 more photos from the Epstein estate. Remember, back on December 12th, the same Dems released their first batch of photos. Thursday, Ranking member Robert Garcia of California issued a statement which said in part…
PBS: Family of Trans Teen Flees Texas, ‘Refugees in Their Own Country’
PBS News is still riding the wrecked and discredited transgender train. One would have hoped PBS would have hopped off given the increasing piles of evidence on the consequences of irrevocable “gender-affirming” operations, the lack of science backing up the emotional blackmail claims of the movement, and the departure of trans-obsessed reporter Laura Barron-Lopez for the proudly left-wing MS…
The View Went All of 2025 Without a ‘Legal Note,’ But They Were Needed
NewsBusters got under the skin of ABC’s The View when we did our first study counting their infamous “legal notes” (three dozen in one year), back in 2022. Over time, the study appeared to be so effective that the show had completely abandoned the practice. In 2025, The View had issued ZERO “legal notes.” But that doesn’t mean the notes weren’t sorely needed.
‘CBS Evening News’ Co-Anchors Sign Off with Trump Jab, Nod to Gaza
While nowhere near the absurdity of Brian Williams’s December 2021 sign-off from MSNBC, Thursday marked the final show for John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois as co-anchors of the CBS Evening News and with CBS News after less than a year of floundering ratings and questions about changing the newscast’s format. To cap off their last show, the pair went off by waxing poetic about “facts…
‘Conservatives Must Be Careful' Engaging with the Likes of Vanity Fair
In a hard-hitting segment on Newsmax's The Chris Salcedo Show Tuesday night, Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell joined host Chris Salcedo to break down President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. Bozell also weighed in on what some are calling a Vanity Fair “hit piece” on the Trump leadership team.
Networks Duck D.C.-Area Murder Allegedly by Illegal Freed by Soros DA
Between Wednesday night and Friday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC have shown zero interest in covering on their flagship newscasts a Wednesday murder in the Washington D.C. suburb of Reston, Virginia allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant who, in addition to being an MS-13 gang member, possesses a lengthy rapt sheet. And, thanks to a Soros-funded district…
NewsBusters Podcast: Networks Denounce Trump's 'Hyperpartisan' Speech
President Trump gave a prime-time address on the economy on Wednesday night, and the networks felt it was necessary to attack it, especially ABC. Jon Karl claimed he'd never heard a primetime speech that "was as defensive and hyperpartisan as this one." He certainly forgot Joe Biden's 2022 Philadelphia speech denouncing "MAGA Republicans" as endangering democracy.
Kimmel Decries HHS For Saying 'Men Are Men' Without Medical Degrees
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel closed the book on 2025 on Thursday by doing his best imitation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. If Jackson claims she can’t define what a woman is because she’s not a biologist, Kimmel claims that Trump administration officials are out of their depth for claiming that “men are men” and “women are women” because they do not have medical degrees.
Column: Ilhan Omar Can Accuse ICE with No Proof
As a leftist Muslim immigrant from Somalia, radical Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is wonderfully blessed with a DEI press. She is perennially assumed to be a victim of racism, sexism, and xenophobia whenever she is criticized, and especially when she’s verbally targeted by President Trump.

OF COURSE: ABC News OMITS ‘Below Expectations’ Inflation Number
The much-awaited Consumer Price Index for November was released today, with good news for the country: inflation came in at 2.7 percent, significantly below the 3.1 percent projected by economists. The legacy nightly news was not too enthusiastic in reporting this story, with ABC outright omitting the story.
