Media Ignored Chief Justice Roberts Warning on Meddling with Judiciary
Joel Pollak at Breitbart reported Sunday that Chief Justice John Roberts of the U.S. Supreme Court blasted attempts to exert “inappropriate political influence” in his year-end report for 2021, as President Biden and the Democrats have pondered proposals to expand or pack the Court with liberals. Roberts did not explicitly mention the court-packing talk, and the liberal media ignored it. That'…
Abortion-Backing Nets Ignore NYT Report Gene Tests Wrong Up to 93%
In a heartbreaking report out on Saturday, The New York Times detailed how prenatal blood tests for genetic defects used in some cases to justify an abortion were wrong between 81 and 93 percent of the time, as the companies boast near-perfect results. But the pro-abortion advocates in the liberal broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) didn’t want their viewers to know that terrible…
Pedo Problem: Second CNN Producer With 'Potential Juvenile Victims'
CNN is ending 2021 the same way they spent most of it: in the gutter. Late Wednesday, news broke that yet another CNN producer was under “criminal investigation” for sexually preying on minors. This time it was the producer for Jake Tapper’s weekday show The Lead, Rick Saleeby.
NBC Bemoans Harry Reid's Decision to Change Senate Filibuster Rule
As was reported here on Wednesday afternoon, ABC, NBC, and CBS had nothing but gushing praise for former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. This was also true on Wednesday evening as the liberal networks drooled all over Reid and his legacy as the longtime leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate. However, NBC Nightly News did change their tune slightly from this morning.
HERESY: Nets Deny the Science Behind CDC Loosening Isolation Rules
For nearly two years, Dr. Fauci was the pope of the media’s new church of science and the CDC was the Vatican Council handing down the dogmas of the rites and rituals around masks, isolation, and vaccine anointments. But with the CDC loosening isolation recommendations in the face of new information about the Omicron variant’s life cycle, the media’s faith was shaken as they openly denied the…
'Kingmaker': Nets Remember Harry Reid as a 'Force of Nature'
Not a bad word or embarrassing moment was mentioned by the broadcast networks Wednesday morning as they reported on the life and death of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Instead, they showed him the greatest of reverence as they praised him as a Democratic “kingmaker,” “force of nature,” and a “powerbroker.”
Cutting Room Floor: CBS Edits Out 911 Call Warning Cops of Gun
Seemingly taking a page out of NBC’s playbook Tuesday night, CBS Evening News edited out part of a 9-1-1 call warning LAPD officers responding to an attack at a Burlington clothing store that gunshots were heard. It’s was critical context missing from the event that resulted in the accidental death of a 14-year-old girl hiding in a dressing room with her mother while it was later…
Nets Ignore Report Biden Admin Refused Offer to Secure COVID Tests
On Monday, the network evening news broadcasts ignored a report Vanity Fair published alleging the Biden Administration rejected a "10-page plan" from numerous public health institutions to help purchase and distribute Covid tests back in October. "It also recommended, right on the first page, a nationwide 'Testing Surge to Prevent Holiday COVID Surge,'" the magazine's Katherine Eban…
CBS Ignores Pro-Mask LUNATIC Striking Old Man Eating on Delta Flight
Since the start of the pandemic, the liberal media have used airline confrontations over masking policies to portray those opposed to pandemic protocols in a negative light. But a Sunday scuffle between a pro-mask woman and an 80-year-old-man, who had pulled his mask down to eat, got no airtime on Monday’s edition of CBS Evening News.
NewsBusters Podcast: Journos Claim They Only Make ‘Innocent’ Mistakes
Filling in for boss Tim Graham, NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I were back in our saddles for Monday’s post-Christmas edition of the NewsBusters Podcast and, while it’s often a slower time of the year in the news business, we still had plenty to talk about.
CNN Tries to Bust 'Media Misconceptions' Like Harmful Political Bias
On the last so-called “Reliable Sources” of 2021, CNN media apologist Brian Stelter set out to bust some of the “misconceptions” the public had about the media. The misconceptions that needed to be battled included the idea that they have “malicious intent” when they publish fake news and that the media’s political biases were being actively offset internally, resulting in balanced…
CNN Cries 'Fake News' to Accurately Say Biden Has More Covid Deaths
China is responsible for every American Covid death. But if you’re going to try to parse out blame to a particular president, at least get the simple math right. On Christmas Eve, CNN Newsroom fill-in host Boris Sanchez had some trouble doing that as he definitively claimed it was “fake news” to accurately say that more Americans have been killed by Covid under President Biden than…
CBS/NBC Gawk at Lack of Covid Tests, Ignore Biden Grilled on Failures
Two days before Christmas, and CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News spent part of their Thursday newscasts gawking at the long lines in major cities as people scrambled to get tested for Covid before gathering with family for the holiday. But what they failed to share with viewers was ABC World News Tonight grilling President Biden the previous evening on his ‘…
ABC/NBC Ignore Carjacking of Congresswoman, CBS Gives Just 24 Seconds
On Tuesday evening Illinois Senator Kimberly Lightford was carjacked by three suspects wearing masks, according to a report by Fox 32 News. The next day, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon was also carjacked at gunpoint by two men at F.D.R. Park in Philadelphia. Apparently, none of the three evening broadcast shows thought these stories deserved to be covered in depth.
