Shields Slams Barr for Ruining Himself, Becoming 'Trump's Roy Cohn'
On Friday's PBS NewsHour, liberal pundit Mark Shields ripped Attorney General William Barr for ruining his own legacy by being the president's "in-house lawyer," but he wanted a more stinging insult.

'AM Joy' Panel Blames NRA, the 'Rise of Trumpism' for Georgia Murder
The panel on Saturday’s edition of AM Joy wasted no time blaming the NRA as well as President Trump for the tragic shooting of unarmed African-American Glynn County, Georgia resident Ahmaud Arbery.

The Media's Long History of Covering for Joe Biden
In a nearby flashback, this September, 2019 post from NB colleagues Rich Noyes and Scott Whitlock recalled the 1987 flame-out of then Delaware Senator Joe Biden’s 1988 presidential campaign over the issue of plagiarized speeches. The flashback caught my eye because, as I have mentioned over time in other venues, I was involved. And were the situation to occur in today’s media world, there is no…
Source Finds Nasty NY Times Story Didn't 'Fully Reflect My Experience'
On the front of Wednesday’s New York Times was an article with the usual anti-White House theme. The headline was “FEMA Supply Effort Tangled by Kushner Team.” There were five names in the byline, and another three credited at the end.

MSNBC's Melber Refuses To Confront Schiff About Transcripts
During the early part of the Trump Administration it was not uncommon for Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to tell every TV camera and sympathetic journalist he could find that it was beyond doubt that Trump had colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign. But recently released transcripts showed former Obama officials, despite their public proclamations to the contrary, had no such…

Early Look at 'Space Force': Trump Bashing and Praise for AOC?
Modern comedians have President Donald Trump living rent free in their heads for better and certainly worse. The laugh industry is obsessed with America’s 45th president. Trump turned late night monologues into DNC jam sessions, to say nothing of how he crushed Saturday Night Live’s apolitical lineage. Now, we have Space Force.
NBC Prez Declared We Are Winning War With Trump (Fired Days Later)
Usually, our NewsBusters FLASHBACK items showcase liberal news media examples a little older than a week. But this one is too good to forget. On April 27, NBC News President Andy Lack published a haughty op-ed for the network’s website Think. It was titled, “Journalism is under attack from coronavirus and the White House. But we're winning.” One week after this op-ed was published, Lack was fired…

Does YouTube Consider CCP to Be an 'Authoritative Source?'
We already know that YouTube considers the World Health Organization to be an 'authoritative source' to the extent that it will remove (censor) videos that run counter to the views promoted that organization by labeling such videos as "misinformation." However, the real question should be does YouTube also consider the Chinese Communist Party as an "authoritative source" in light of the fact that…
Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman Forced To Correct False OAN-Sale Story
One of the most recent entries in the ongoing battle of multiple cable television news channels is the One America News Network, a conservative entry that is also known as OANN or OAN. In a sign that the channel is starting to draw attention from people within the “mainstream media,” company president Charles Herring has responded to a “false and misleading” claim that a group associated with…

NPR's Michel Martin Cues Journalist to Hint Trump Voters Are Racist
On Thursday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, NPR weekend anchor Michel Martin prodded The New Yorker's Evan Osnos to suggest that Donald Trump supporters are racists even if they don't like to admit it.

Colbert Coddles Cuomo: 'Who Do You Want to Have Play You' in a Movie?
CBS's Late Show host Stephen Colbert devoted nearly the entire show on Thursday to liberal media darling and Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY). In turn, the interview was loaded with softballs. While Colbert did not find any time to confront Cuomo over his state’s insane nursing homes policy requiring them to accept those who contract coronavirus, the left-wing comedian trumpeted a survey showing…
NYTimes Headline Hijinks Hide Abortion Danger for Dems:'Deal Breaker'?
Reporter Maggie Astor profiled several young conservatives for her full-page lead National story in Thursday’s New York Times: “For Young Republicans, Abortion Fight Remains a Deal Breaker.” The framing of that headline is so strange. At first glance, one could easily think the “deal breaker” refers to the abortion issue being an electoral problem for the Republican Party, as liberal young people…
