Conservatives & Republicans

While Wednesday night’s CNN town hall with Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was 92 minutes of what our Jorge Bonilla dubbed “an extended infomercial for socialism in America,” NewsNation held a town hall a few miles away at the Kennedy Center that not only ran longer, but featured a robust debate with a parade of guests spanning both age and the…

With all the media banter surrounding the ongoing government shutdown, ABC, CBS and PBS NewsHour seem to have conveniently forgotten that the national debt was even a major issue in this whole mess. Perhaps by emphasizing the multitrillion-dollar debt at all, the networks would be putting the Democrats in the hot seat for continuing to drag their feet on the negotiations.

As a NewsBusters study published following the conclusion of The View’s 28^th season showed, they didn’t have any real conservatives on to defend congressional Republicans or the White House. Near the end of Tuesday’s episode (part of season 29), they finally addressed the fact that they don’t have real conservatives on the show by suggesting “they’re afraid of us.” They…

Talk about politics making strange bedfellows! Morning Joe hails Marjorie Taylor Greene as a working-class hero and an example to other Republicans for her criticism of the shutdown and other Republican policies. MTG! The Republican that the liberal media has loved to hate! She of the Jewish space lasers! But all is forgiven in return for MTG criticizing her fellow Republicans over the…

Though it has received play on all three major broadcast networks, ABC chose on Thursday night and Friday morning to emphasize an anonymous C-SPAN call to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of a woman worried her children “could die” if Johnson fails to reopen the government and ensure federal employees are paid. Of course, ABC (and the caller) ignored how that falls to Senate Democrats and…

Over the weekend on his eponymous morning show, MSNBC's Ali Velshi provided unfunny liberal comedian John Fugelsang a forum to trash conservative Christians. Fugelsang -- who once notoriously declared that he would take pleasure in seeing conservative Christians "die off"-- was promoting his new book, Separation of Church and Hate, attacking the Christian right.

The article critiques the media's overuse of the term "pouncing" to describe Republicans exploiting Democratic scandals, like the one involving Jay Jones, a Democrat AG candidate in Virginia. The issue has sparked backlash, with Republicans like President Trump and Gov. Glenn Youngkin criticizing Jones and leveraging the scandal against the Democratic slate, particularly targeting Abigail…

Falling in between ABC’s George Stephanopoulos’s partisan hectoring on Wednesday and Thursday’s respectful exchanges with CBS’s Tony Dokoupil, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) finished a tour of the broadcast networks Friday on NBC’s Today. There, co-host Craig Melvin battled him over the government shutdown by using week-old polls claiming Americans believe Republicans are to blame…

Morning Joe accuses conservatives of "performative outrage" and "snowflakery" for their angered reaction to the NFL's choice of Bad Bunny, an ardent Trump critic, as its Super Bowl halftime performer.

Early Wednesday evening on The Lead, CNN fact-checker and Canadian Daniel Dale teamed up with host Jake Tapper to engage in a sleight of hand to paint Republicans as liars in the government shutdown battle for arguing Democrats want to provide health care for illegal immigrants. In essence, Dale told viewers both here and later on AC360 that those receiving free care are aren…

Season 51 of NBC’s Saturday Night Live is set to premiere on October 4, but before that a new NewsBusters study looked back and found that 82 percent of Season 50’s Weekend Update jokes targeted conservatives and that 60 percent of its cold open political characters were conservatives or Republicans.

Apple and Microsoft joined Google on Wednesday in ignoring right-leaning news about the government shutdown. 

For day one of the government shutdown, ABC’s Good Morning America showed its rancorous liberal bias with back-to-back interviews Wednesday of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Co-host George Stephanopoulos fully embraced his background as a one-time Clinton official by berating and screeching at Johnson while providing Jeffries a…

With government shutdown going into effect overnight, the liberal ladies of ABC News’s The View were out in force Wednesday trying to wash the hands of Congressional Democrats of their major role in what was unfurling. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg literally pulled out a card with Democratic Party talking points denying the fact they wanted to fund free healthcare for illegal immigrants,…
