Wednesday’s CBS Mornings spent seven minutes and 18 seconds previewing the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing by defending Dr. Tony Fauci on everything from closing schools to gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, to Fauci dwelling on his stardom in 2020. All the while, accountability or admission of even a modicum of mistakes from the pandemic were nowhere to be found.

On Friday's The 11th Hour show, MS NOW host Ali Velshi devoted a segment to comparing the Donald Trump administration, declaring that the President is trying to make ICE accountable only to him.

Somewhere, James Carville is smiling. The Ragin' Cajun would surely approve of Dem strategist Antjuan Seawright's attempt on today's CNN This Morning to distract from the Fauci scandal and the hearing regarding it that Rand Paul is heading today. Seawright twice claimed that people should forget about Fauci and focus instead on . . . screwworms. 

With the Federal Communications Commission just weeks away from possibly stripping The View of their status as a purported “bona fide news program,” and the fight over the license renewal of ABC-owned affiliates just heating up, the left was still trying to muster their defenses. However, the coalitions of liberal former FCC officials and far-left activist groups coming out of the woodwork on…

MS NOW Reports host Antonia Hylton brought on The Bulwark’s senior national correspondent Jonathan Cohn on Wednesday to help her make sense of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s appearance before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In a frustrating display of someone trying to have it both ways, Cohn admitted that there are legitimate questions that could be asked of Fauci but…

The Poynter Institute’s latest event for its supporters is a “salon” in Kansas City in October where they will honor former NBC host Chuck Todd with the “2026 Poynter Make a Mark Leadership Award, recognizing his decades-long impact on political journalism and his role as one of the country’s leading independent voices covering politics, democracy and public affairs.”

CNN’s coverage of Fauci’s diary omits mention of prominent journalist Jake Tapper, despite his frequent appearance in the diary and involvement with Fauci. CNN reporters whitewashed Tapper’s role, raising questions about journalistic integrity and editorial decisions regarding their own colleagues.

Since Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released on Saturday nearly 2,000 pages of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diaries that delivered one bombshell after another about how he handled the coronavirus pandemic, ABC and NBC had yet to say a word on the leading morning or evening shows. However, that changed Wednesday morning with stories explaining away his behavior ahead of what became an explosive Senate…

When Fox News Digital wanted a hot take on the media's cover-up of the Fauci diaries, they sought out Media Research Center President David Bozell. Bozell did not disappoint. They liked it so much, they shared it across their social media platforms.

Christiane Amanpour, the eponymous host of PBS’s Amanpour & Company, welcomed author and activist Bill McKibben to Tuesday’s show to partake in the latest doom-and-gloom prognostications on the environment. According to McKibben, climate change is mostly former President Ronald Reagan’s fault and any additional blame should be directed at President Trump for engaging in “economic-self…

Season 29 of ABC’s The View came ended last week amid an ongoing battle with the Federal Communications Commission over their purported status as a “bona fide news program,” which called into question their bias, their content, and their adherence to the so-called equal time rule for political candidates. Compared to a previous long-term study of The View’s guests, a new NewsBusters study…

Last Friday, President Donald Trump took to the stage at the postponed White House Correspondents’ Dinner, after an attempted assassin interrupted the first one in April. In his manifesto, that failed assassin used leftist media talking points to justify mass murder. Unfortunately, many of the people mentioned in Trump’s new WHCD speech couldn’t take a joke. That included MS NOW’s Lawrence O’…

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show asked the age-old philosophical question “If you can’t believe a man in a chicken suit then who can you trust?” on Tuesday as host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper showed some previously unaired footage from his trip to Portland, Oregon’s anti-Trump and anti-ICE protests that in addition to animal costumes featured plenty of nudity. According to the guy in the chicken…

One year after President Trump signed the bill to defund PBS and NPR, Brian Stelter happily reported: “Station executives credit a burst of philanthropy caused by the GOP’s funding cut.” He then touted a “terrific story” on “public” broadcasting by NPR media reporter David Folkenflik. A surge in donations, he admitted, “would appear to confirm the position of some conservative critics who say…
