NewsBusters Podcast: NBC's Surprising GOP Debate, CNN Kissed by Hamas
What do we do at NewsBusters when the GOP debate moderators skip the gotcha questions? The NBC debate was fine. We predicted it might be like John Harwood's CNBC snark festival in 2015, but it wasn't anything like that. Nick Fondacaro and RedState's Brad Slager joined the show (in different segments) to analyze the debate and the spinning in the aftermath. Plus: a CNN photographer is…
ABC, CBS, and NBC Elevate Gaza Video from KNOWN Propaganda Influencer
If you’re on X (formerly known as Twitter) and follow the Israel-Hamas War, you’re likely aware of the man we’re about to speak of. Saleh Aljafarawi, dubbed “Mr. FAFO” and “Mr. Pallywood,” is a KNOWN Hamas-linked social media influencer and crisis actor. But those easily researchable facts were of no interest to ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly…
PBS Puts Onus on Israeli Victims: ‘Carrots’ for Hamas to Free Hostages
One way to demonstrate the slant in PBS’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war is to compare and contrast how their interviewers treat representatives of the respective sides. On Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour, reporter Leila Molana-Allen conducted a friendly interview with Mohammad Shtayyeh, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, which represents the West Bank, and who…
Scarborough: Pro-Hamas Views On Campus 'Ain't Coming From Professors'
On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough claims that twisted pro-Hamas views on campus "ain't coming from professors." In fact, there are multiple examples of professors on American campuses making pro-Hamas statements. Scarborough then laments the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and claims that Trump won't be able to run on a platform of being moderate on abortion, since he is on record boasting about…
MSNBC Promotes Propaganda Video from KNOWN Hamas-Linked Crisis Actor
In the same week that four other major American news outlets had to answer for utilizing dubious sources with connections to Hamas for their reporting on the Israel-Hamas war, MSNBC seemingly tried to one-up the rest by promoting a video put out by Saleh Aljafarawi, a known Hamas-linked propagandist and crisis actor. On her eponymous show Friday afternoon, Chris Jansing treated him as though…
A Third Try in Texas for School Choice
SAN ANTONIO – Gov. Gregg Abbott has called a third special legislative session in an attempt to push through three priorities that previous sessions have defeated, surprisingly with some Republicans joining with most Democrats in opposition. School choice is one of those priorities. The last session bowed to scare tactics by the powerful teachers unions and Democrats who promoted claims that…
The ‘Problem Child’: The View Frets a Third-Party Run from Manchin
West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin announced on Thursday that he would not be seeking reelection and instead hinted that he might make a third-party run for president. The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View took the possibility very seriously on Friday and openly worried about how Manchin could hurt President Biden’s reelection chances, and how he was always the “problem child…
NewsNation, IDF Spox Explain How It REALLY Works with Gaza Freelancers
Continuing NewsNation’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war that more networks and news outlets should emulate, On Balance host Leland Vittert spent a segment Thursday night laying out not only how the much-reported four-hour pauses in Israel’s war on Hamas were merely word games from the press and White House, but how claims from freelancers for news organizations in Gaza should be…
Stelter Plugs Fox-Frying Book on MSNBC, No Talk of CNN's Hamas Kisses
Brian Stelter’s second book raining fire on Fox – Network of Lies – is coming out next week, but he appeared on MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Tonight on Thursday night to promote it. Somehow, in the seven-plus minutes of Fox-bashing, they didn’t discuss Stelter’s old network CNN having its freelancer literally kissed by a Hamas terrorist. That’s an inconvenient truth for Mr. Facts…
Editor’s Picks: RedState Outworks Lefty Media on Jewish Man’s Death
RedState managing editor Jennifer Van Laar has been a tour de force for decades and deep sourcing as a rare California conservative, so it was no surprise when she released a series of stories and videos this week showing the raw aftermath of an attack against a 69-year-old Jewish man named Paul Kessler that resulted in Kessler’s bloody death after he was knocked down and his skull met the…
CNN’s Darcy Rages Over ‘Smear’ of CNNer Being Kissed by Hamas Leader
On Thursday night, CNN sent out its cartoonishly pathetic senior media reporter Oliver Darcy to do what he dubbed “Shooting Down a Smear” in the wake of HonestReporting’s bombshell alleging Gaza freelance journalists for CNN and The New York Times as well as Associated Press and Reuters embedded with Hamas terrorists during the group’s animalistic October 7 terror attack. Darcy also…
Kimmel Hires Drag Queen To Speculate About Cruz's Nipples To Children
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel reignited his long-running feud with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Thursday as he hired Trixie Mattel of RuPaul’s Drag Race to read portions of Cruz’s new book, Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America, to children and to speculate about the senator’s nipples.
Column: Lefties Trash NBC for Hosting a Debate with Media 'Extremists'
Conservatives were up in arms that the Republican National Committee allowed NBC News to moderate a presidential primary debate. On the Left, NBC News was being pilloried for agreeing to the RNC rules and partnering with radio host Hugh Hewitt of Salem Media Group, a group of alleged election-denying extremists.
SHOCK: Univision’s Totally Normal Donald Trump Interview
I sat down and watched TelevisaUnivision’s interview with former President Donald J. Trump, expecting fiery exchanges and contentiousness and I am in complete shock for there were no such things. Instead, viewers watched a calm, rational dialogue between Trump and Televisa N+ anchor Enrique Acevedo. And I can't quite figure out why.
