On Sunday’s PBS News Weekend, anchor John Yang introduced a self-satisfied segment on a new documentary from the literary, so-called free speech advocates at Pen America, based on the misnomer that books are being “banned” from schools and public libraries, as opposed to being removed due to concerns over age appropriateness regarding explicit sexual content.

Routine NewsBusters readers may recall the name Mark Bray, the Rutgers professor who wrote the literal “Antifa Handbook.” Despite his appetite for politically motivated violence against the right, he purportedly fled the country after podcaster Jack Posobiec called him out as a “domestic terrorism professor.” That’s according to WIRED writer David Gilbert who had previously whined to PBS News…

Over the weekend on his eponymous morning show, MSNBC's Ali Velshi provided unfunny liberal comedian John Fugelsang a forum to trash conservative Christians. Fugelsang -- who once notoriously declared that he would take pleasure in seeing conservative Christians "die off"-- was promoting his new book, Separation of Church and Hate, attacking the Christian right.

On Tuesday, clips went viral on X of former Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA) — who’s running to become governor of California — pitching an utterly bizarre tantrum after CBS News Sacramento’s Julie Watts asked Porter if she had planned to seek to win the votes of Californians who voted for President Trump.

Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) continues to get a pass from the leftist media. Th ae man who bragged on NBC in 2019 that his testosterone sometimes makes him want to punch Donald Trump appeared Monday night on Anderson Cooper 360 to call Trump dangerous, reckless, chaotic, cruel and deeply corrupt, with absolutely zero pushback.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel found a strange, new respect for Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a woman he has frequently dubbed “Klan Mom,” on his Tuesday show as he claimed a recent tweet from Greene proved his point that Republicans are lying about health care amid the government shutdown.

We at the Media Research Center have long argued that one of the most insidious forms of media bias is bias by omission: the exclusion of stories, or of key items within stories, that run counter to the ongoing media narrative. We cover those omissions as they happen, but they are usually limited to one high-profile story. But last night’s legacy evening news omitted THREE major items.

On the April 16 PBS News Hour, as federal funding for both PBS and NPR was coming under heavy fire, co-PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz boasted that on her program, “we regularly invite and host conservative and Republican voices.” But is that true? Two new Media Research Center studies tracked and labeled every guest who appeared on the PBS News Hour and NPR’s…

Comedy Central’s Tuesday version of The Daily Show ended on a somber note as host-of-the-week Josh Johnson welcomed the founder and executive director of Black Girl Environmentalist, Wawa Gatheru, to the program to lament that under the Trump Administration, left-wing environmental groups are no longer being bankrolled by the federal government.

The aerobic freakout has begun inside the liberal media over the new owners of CBS News appointing “anti-woke” Bari Weiss to the new post of “Editor In Chief.” None of the CBS veterans want a new boss with a new ideology. They like pretending they don’t have an ideology. They call themselves courageously “independent.”

In a radical departure from the reporting we usually see with regard to immigration, a legacy news outlet elected to report GOOD news related to the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce the southern border. NBC’s report on the border is a real eye-opener:

On her MSNBC show, The Briefing, former Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki is highly critical of Jared Kushner's involvement in the Gaza peace deal, given his financial dealings with Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In contrast, Joe Scarborough is full of praise for Kushner's involvement, saying that his experience in the region and relationships with the players are very valuable. David Ignatius agrees with…

The article critiques the media's overuse of the term "pouncing" to describe Republicans exploiting Democratic scandals, like the one involving Jay Jones, a Democrat AG candidate in Virginia. The issue has sparked backlash, with Republicans like President Trump and Gov. Glenn Youngkin criticizing Jones and leveraging the scandal against the Democratic slate, particularly targeting Abigail…

Perhaps the single biggest change new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss could make to the liberal and perpetually third-place network is simply covering stories their competition (ABC and CBS) avoid and/or simply defend American values. One such example was on Tuesday’s CBS Mornings as senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams blasted A-list comedians taking huge paydays to…
