Between Thursday night on ABC and Friday morning on CBS and NBC, the major broadcast networks used their flagship newscasts to side with the illegal immigrants — some of them underage — being rounded up Thursday afternoon by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officials outside Los Angeles, decrying the “alarming” and “disturbing” scenes. But what kind of farms, you ask? Well, marijuana…

Disney and ABC News seem to be fine with their hosts promoting violence and attempts to kill federal law enforcement officers. During Friday’s episode of The View, staunchly racist Sunny Hostin responded to the recent attempt to kill Customs and Border Protection agents in McAllen, Texas by suggesting they had it coming because they wear masks. She also proclaimed that a “reckoning”…

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week? 

On Thursday, just a few days before the one year anniversary of President Trump almost being killed, Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng and The Daily Show’s audience found great amusement in Iran’s recent threats to assassinate Trump, not so much because Chieng actually wants him dead, but because it gave them an opportunity to mock Trump’s physical appearance.

The “fact checkers” at PolitiFact barely touch the talking heads on cable television anymore. They used to have a serious tilt against the Fox News hosts in prime time. So it’s unsurprising that on July 9, they published their first attack on conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings, who offered a few tough words about Medicaid beneficiaries.

The anniversary of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump is upon us and with it, news of the actions taken by the Secret Service after reviewing the many breakdowns that led to the current President of the United States almost getting gunned down in Butler, Pennsylvania. This is without a doubt a story of enormous national import, and yet, NBC News has not seen fit to cover it…

For its longform Eye on America  segment, the CBS Evening News delivered a visually beautiful report on President Trump’s executive order on logging- backdropped by lush Oregon forests. The report featured a heavy dose of advocacy against logging in national forests. But the report was undercut by an earlier item that underscores why such forest clearing is needed in the…

On Wednesday night, MSNBC’s The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell went low in blasting Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy as a “babbling” and “incompetent buffoon” lacking “a shred of embarrassment” but brimming with “revealed stupidity” and “white male privilege” but also used to be “the stupidest reporter in the White House press corps” until “the dregs of Trump-…

On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s The Briefing With Jen Psaki cited FEMA cuts as a main factor for the response to the Texas floods. Psaki still used this narrative despite multiple reports coming out that emergency management and response had been on par with or exceeded expectations.  

Fresh Air is a daily National Public Radio chat show out of WHYY in Philadelphia (which airs nationwide). A NewsBusters review of Fresh Air programs from January 1 through June 30 reveals there have been 36 interviews with liberal and leftist journalists, and precisely zero with conservative journalists.

Democracy dies in darkness… or clown noises; The Washington Post isn’t quite sure which. On Thursday, the Post welcomed president of the board of Clowns Without Borders Tim Cunningham to their op-ed section to write a column insisting that people refer to President Trump as a fascist, not a clown.

Audie Cornish, host of CNN This Morning, assembles a panel that unanimously criticizes the investigation launched by the Justice Department into the possible criminal activities of John Brennan and James Comey to interfere with the 2016 election.

The occupant of the so-called “conservative” seat of ABC’s The View, Alyssa Farah Griffin utterly embarrassed herself during Wednesday’s episode when she admitted on-air that she “cried at this job at least a half-a-dozen times.” Her reasoning? Because it’s “a very hard job” and she’s often the only one who voiced some form right-leaning opinions, which she rarely did a good job with…

The July 2 edition of Slate’s “What Next” podcast, “Is This the End of NPR and PBS?” began its argument for continuing to fund public television and radio with an ancient 1969 clip of Fred Rogers testifying before Congress. Before being officially introduced, guest Brian Stelter, CNN media analyst and all-around defender of the legacy media, was heard calling the clip “mesmerizing.” …
