Conspiracy Theories

It was the fourth night of Michael Smerconish’s run as the temporary replacement of Chris Cuomo and he was already showing boss Jeff Zucker just how awful he could be. In a segment about a fresh religious liberty case before the Supreme Court for oral argument Thursday, Smerconish advocated for discrimination against religious schools when it came to a school choice program in Maine that…

On Wednesday morning, the crew at Univision's Despierta América made a desperate call to Senate Democrats to ignore Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, and pass the so-called "Plan C" for Immigration Reform in the "infrastructure" reconciliation package.

The Monday after CNN fired Chris Cuomo for a combination of journalistic malpractice regarding his brother, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) and new sexual misconduct allegations, CNN installed weekend host and route Cuomo-fill-in Michael Smerconish as the official temp. And in his first outing in that role, Smerconish channeled Cuomo’s attitude and hatred towards Republicans as he…

On Sunday’s This Week, Republicans taught ABC the 123s of how President Biden’s so-called Build Back Better (BBB) agenda was harmful to the middle-class and largely benefited more affluent Americans in blue states. And between Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, chief anchor and Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos was in for a rough time.

One of the big takeaways from Kyle Rittenhouse’s interview with Tucker Carlson, which aired Monday night, was that he and his lawyers were gearing up to stick it to the liberal media and the radical politicians with defamation lawsuits. He wouldn’t go into detail, but it was clear he was setting the groundwork for what many, included Nicholas Sandmann, were urging him to do.

On Sunday’s edition of CBS Face The Nation, it seemed as though their goal when covering the not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse self-defense trial was to cram as many lies as they could into the segment. Moderator Margaret Brennan allowed lies about him bringing the gun across state lines, allowed lies about him buying it illegally, allowed lies about him being a white…

Are they sore losers? Maybe, but either way, ABC spent part of Sunday’s Good Morning America hoping that the families of Kyle Rittenhouse’s so-called “victims” would sue him in civil court. This comes after the teen was found not guilty and that he justly used legal self-defense against multiple violent attackers who were rioting. Beyond that, the network also took to denouncing the…

CNN’s Chris Cuomo seemed to be itching to catch a defamation suit from innocent Kyle Rittenhouse as he opened his Friday show after the not guilty verdict was handed out, calling him a “chump” filled with “animus” for the people in the Black Lives Matter riot who managed to trick the jury. He even suggested Rittenhouse should have tried to fight off the entire crowd with his fists first and…

While they didn’t spout off in the same unhinged manner as NBC and MSNBC, CNN was similarly displeased with the Kenosha jury finding Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges on Friday. They reluctantly admitted the defense had a solid argument for self-defense and the prosecution couldn’t breakthrough. But within the first 10 minutes of The Lead, CNN legal analyst Charles Coleman Jr…

During day two of jury deliberation in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse on Wednesday, Judge Bruce Schroeder called out the media from the bench and scolded them for their “grossly irresponsible handling of what comes out of this trial.” But while ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News completely ignored the Judge, NBC Nightly News decided to edit the…

Half of U.S. adults (18+) say they know someone they think was persuaded to believe in a conspiracy theory because of content they saw posted on Facebook, a new survey reveals.

This week's episode of Family Guy included an election-connected joke about Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Does that mean the series bravely attacked the unethical role Zuckerberg played in influencing the 2020 election through private funding of election offices? Of course not. Instead, the show pushed ridiculous 5-year-old claims that Facebook data mining rigged the 2016 election for…

Are you or someone you know struggling financially to cope with the soaring cost of inflation? Well, according to NBC business correspondent Stephanie Ruhle on Sunday Today, the “dirty little secret” is that the American public can afford inflation just fine and they’re just bellyaching. But you just might have to sell your home or tap your 401K to survive the winter.

In this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Curtis Houck and I examined the liberal media malpractice in covering last week’s elections as they elevate state elections that suit their needs while relegating them to ‘local story’ status when they need to bury them. We also spoke with Research Director Scott Whitlock about calling out their obfuscation of the close governor’s race in New Jersey…
