Conspiracy Theories

Just minutes after news broke of the tragic mid-air collision between a commercial airliner and an Army Blackhawk, members of the liberal media rushed to politicize the accident by blaming President Trump and his cuts to federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs (including at the FAA). And when Trump spoke out in his defense during a Thursday press conference and floated the idea…

In the wake of President Trump’s Thursday press conference on the deadly and tragic mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), CBS senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe decried Trump for “jumping to conclusions” by saying diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs may have played a role in the incident. But near the end of his segment, O’Keefe started…

Even with former President Jimmy Carter’s passing over the weekend, Monday’s CBS Mornings still wanted their dose of President-elect Trump. So, while liberal co-host Tony Dokoupil was speaking with anti-Trump presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, the former teed up the latter to recount how Carter had supposedly “guilted” Trump into making a gift to the Carter Center, much to the…

The loony liberals of ABC News’s The View were in a festive spirit Thursday morning as they kicked off their discussion with a baseless conspiracy theory that billionaire Elon Musk and Vice President J.D. Vance were plotting to have President-elect Trump assassinated and usurp control of the government by pushing him down a flight of stairs. There was an attempt to walk it back my…

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were not enthused by President-elect Trump being named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year of a second time. Amid lazy notations that “Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler” were also on the cover, Friday moderator Joy Behar lashed out at voters for electing Trump and declared that they were “misinformed” about their quality of life under the…

CNN’s self-asserted desire for facts took a back seat on Friday’s Inside Politics in favor of wild speculation as former Maryland State Police Commander Neill Franklin joined host Dana Bash to raise the possibility that United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson “orchestrated” his own assassination.

During the Monday edition of ABC’s The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin made it obvious that they wanted to take their ball and go home three weeks after Donald Trump became president-elect for the second time. The sore losers suggested the election results proved that America hated the existence of black women and that the election supposedly happened without…

Oh how quickly folks in the liberal media forget their own misdeeds when it’s time to fling mud at the other side. That hypocrisy was again on full display during the Friday edition of ABC’s The View, when cloudy co-host Sunny Hostin lashed out at U.S. Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi. Hostin called Bondi an “election denier” when Trump was her client in 2020, that’s despite the…

It had not been a good week for ABC’s The View as they were forced to repeatedly read legal notes after parroting allegations against President-elect Trump’s nominations for cabinet positions. On Thursday’s episode, co-host Joy Behar praised their legal notes as a form of fact-checking and suggested that it was a reason people were fans of the show. But that was a lie and they were…

So desperate was CNN to make something stick against former President Trump in the last few days of the election, they spent much of their Friday newscasts peddling the false claims that he threated Liz Cheney with a firing squad. Host Jake Tapper got more than he bargained for on The Lead, when Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty confronted him over his network’s “distortion”…

After bashing Donald Trump nonstop for spreading various conspiracy theories, the PBS News Hour seemed quite comfortable spreading its own election conspiracies on Thursday evening, going beyond even MSNBC in suggesting that Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy (retained by the Biden administration) could somehow be fostering ballot delivery delays to help Trump win election…

New York Times reporter Jazmine Ulloa, who has deputized herself as the Republican language police on the immigration issue, transformed a wholly reasonable conservative concern about voting integrity among Ohioans into “one of the most pernicious far-right conspiracy theories” in Sunday’s “In JD Vance’s Backyard, Conspiracy Theories About Migrants and Voting Abound.” The nasty story…

Monday’s CNN This Morning briefly came off the rails when pompous pundit David Frum of The Atlantic (perhaps the most pompous outlet in the liberal media) said that 2024 GOP vice president candidate JD Vance’s criticisms of Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz over his policies and military record are coded language accusing him of being “a sexual deviant of some…

The Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View largely embraced the new campaign message of Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats of calling any and everything about Republicans “weird.” They praised how “effective” it supposedly was. But, as co-host Joy Behar warned, it opened them up to people putting them under the magnifying glass, which was what NewsBusters will do here.
