If a Republican congressman was accused of having a sexual relationship with a foreign intelligence asset, you bet the liberal media would have a field day. But as NewsBusters has shown, naughty California Democrat Eric Swalwell was getting off easy after revelations he had such a relationship with a Chinese spy. And despite the new push from Congressional Republicans to removing him from the…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and NBC News national security correspondent Ken Dilanian portray President Trump as someone fitting the profile of a "classic counter-intelligence risk." They predict he might "sell" classified intel to foreign countries. Dilanian suggests that Trump should be denied intelligence briefings when he leaves office, and even floats the possibility that an FBI…

Saying he "loves" having her on the show, and calling her a "national treasure," Jonathan Capehart, guest-hosting AM Joy on MSNBC, slobbers over "pandemic expert" Laurie Garrett, who claims that the US yesterday had more coronavirus cases in one day than there have been in all China since the beginning of the pandemic. In doing so, she uncritically accepts statistics from the…

In a likely unexpected and unwanted revelation (from the network’s perspective) Wednesday, U.S. National Counterintelligence & Security Center director William Evanina warned NBC Nightly News that foreign adversaries such as “Iran, China, and Russia” were some of the forces “enhancing and exacerbating protests on the West Coast” in recent months. But that information went…

On Morning Joe, Adrian Wooldridge, a columnist at The Economist, says that unlike the US, China passes the "good government" test. He makes his comment in the context of discussing the way various countries have dealt with the coronavirus pandemic, but offers no qualifier as to his "good government" praise of China. To the contrary, he says that the advantage of good government is…

In closing out CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, host Jake Tapper unloaded on the Walt Disney Company and the NBA for “openly thanking” and “bowing” to Communist China while they’re herding ethnic Uighurs into concentration camps. A chyron also warned of “the slippery slope toward making ‘never again’ meaningless.” Amid that strong denunciation, Tapper used a claim from an anti-…

In a stunning example of journalistic malpractice Thursday, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and chief Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues shared a “new” warning from Microsoft about counties such as Russia, China, and Iran launching cyber-attacks on both presidential campaigns. The problem? These same two spent part of their Wednesday evening newscast being appalled by…

While CNN host Jake Tapper would eventually press Democratic nominee Joe Biden on his support for NAFTA and “favored country status” for China, his interview with the former Vice President (taped Wednesday and aired Thursday) was largely a Trump-bashing session. It featured Tapper repeatedly teeing up his 2020 candidate to take swings at his favorite hate object. Tapper even let Biden lie…

While the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were stoking fear of any coronavirus vaccine produced under Trump’s presidency, they blacked out the nationwide outrage at ABC-owner Disney for giving a “special thanks” to the operators of China’s Uighur concentration camps in the credits of their new movie Mulan. It was a missed opportunity for their competitors at CBS and NBC.

The Walt Disney Company’s hypocrisy has reached epic proportions. Despite how woke the House of Mouse likes to come off here in the United States, the “family-friendly” media empire dances a different routine for their masters in Beijing. Their latest dance, though, is particularly offensive as it involves the film company giving special thanks to government agencies in China that are linked…
