NewsBusters Podcast: 'Facts First' Media Trip on Fake Ivermectin News
Sometimes terribly fake news emerges from the left. Over the long holiday weekend, too many "mainstream" media voices fell for another hoax from Rolling Stone magazine, that somehow "horse dewormer overdoses" were "overwhelming Oklahoma hospitals." Even the photo in the Rolling Stone tweet was fake. How discerning are supposedly smart lefties like Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid?
Nets Call It Quits, Done Covering Americans Held Hostage By Taliban
Out of sight, out of mind. That’s the message the broadcast networks sent Wednesday evening as ABC and CBS chose not to follow up with the over 100 Americans still trapped in Afghanistan, some even being held on airplanes on a tarmac; reminiscent of the Iranian hostage crisis. Meanwhile, these Americans President Biden abandoned were only an afterthought to NBC.
Doocy Throws Down With Psaki Over Leaving People Behind in Afghanistan
With a week off from the briefing room (having switched off with colleague Jacqui Heinrich) and the Labor Day weekend, Fox’s Peter Doocy returned Wednesday with plenty of questions for Jen Psaki about the Americans stranded in Afghanistan, the Taliban government having more people on the FBI’s Most Wanted List than women, and if engaging with them means they’ll be granted global legitimacy.…

'View' Libs Defend Hospitals Turning Away Unvaccinated Patients
A truly awful but revealing conversation happened Wednesday morning on ABC’s The View, where the nearly all-liberal panel argued hospitals should turn away sick patients who did not take the COVID-19 vaccine.

Networks Skip Biden Claiming Nobody Uses the Word ‘Tornado’ Anymore
During a Tuesday press conference in New Jersey, President Biden stumbled over his words and wound up claiming that people no longer use the word “tornado.” While this peculiar moment has been covered by a handful of news outlets that aren’t right wing by any stretch of the imagination, the Biden-friendly broadcast TV networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have avoided discussing it entirely.
Nets Hype Biden’s Climate ‘Code Red’ Alarmism, Push to Waste Trillions
Wednesday’s network morning shows were thrilled that President Biden was trying to exploit a deadly natural disaster in order to sell his radical political agenda that would waste trillions of taxpayer dollars. Rather that challenge any of Biden’s fearmongering rhetoric, the CBS, ABC, and NBC broadcasts all touted it as if it were a statement of fact.
VILE ABC Slimes Texas as Now ‘Eliminating the Crime of Rape’
Good Morning America’s Cecilia Vega on Wednesday seemed to be accusing Texas Governor Greg Abbott of wanting to set up some violent, real-life version of The Purge.

The journalist also pressed…

MSNBC MELTDOWN Over Full Football Games, ‘Theaters and Beaches!’

On Labor Day afternoon, CNN host Alisyn Camerota devoted a segment to allowing a CNN contributor and environmental alarmist, John Sutter, to blame the governnment and energy companies for an alleged "climate crisis," and call for regulating forcing an almost immediate end to fossil fuel use.
Column: The Media Coach Democrats, Trash Republicans
After the Labor Day weekend, Joe Scarborough sat on the set of Morning Joe and told the Democrats that to succeed in the midterms, it was essential that they somehow repeal “40 years of Reaganism” by passing a massive expansion of government disguised as an “infrastructure” package. The media coach the Democrats on How to Succeed, and trash the Republicans as unworthy of any role in governing…
ABC Helps State Dept Steal Credit for Saving Family, Fox/Cuomo Stop It
With the Biden administration abandoning hundreds of Americans and our allies to be victimized in Afghanistan and reports that the State Department was hampering efforts to get them out, they desperately needed some good press. And ABC’s World News Tonight was more than willing to help them steal credit for getting a Texas mother and her three kids over the border to a neighboring country. But…
