Media Bias Debate

How appropriate! The New York Times filled its April Fools Day front-page with puff stories praising President Joe Biden’s leftist economic agenda. Four Times stories dominated the front page with headlines promoting Biden’s disastrous multi-trillion, sugar-high government spending. The big story taking up most of the page was plastered with a ludicrous headline on Biden’s $2…

During a virtual address to Washington State University’s College of Communications while accepting the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award Tuesday night, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt dismissed objective reporting and declared that “fairness is overrated.” The evening news host saw no reason to “always give two sides equal weight and merit,” as long as he deemed one…

An organization backed with millions of dollars from liberal billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros has launched a commission led by radical liberals to fight “mis- and disinformation.”

On Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show, former MSNBC analyst turned Biden deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calls chief press secretary Jen Psaki her "partner in truth."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that Donald Trump bragged at his first press conference, and suggests that Joe Biden didn't. In fact, at his long-delayed first press conference of March 25th, Biden bragged: "No other country in the world has even come close—not even close—to what we are doing."

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow unabashedly conceded that after four years of a Republican president, "I'm getting cattier and pettier with each passing day." Maddow spent over five minutes of her opening monologue gushing about the Biden administration’s debt-raising, $1.9 trillion Coronavirus-relief bill. Maddow concluded her rant by describing the explicitly partisan bill as “a big F-ing…

On Friday, CNN’s Brianna Keilar and her Republican-loathing colleague, Brian Stelter, took turns bashing their competitor, Fox News Channel, for the crime of allowing  the expression of conservative thought. Abandoning even the pretense of being objective journalists, the two left-wing hosts condemned Fox executives and hosts for actually pledging to practice adversarial journalism…

On Tuesday and Wednesday evening, MSNBC’s Joy Reid took to the airwaves to perform her typical race-baiting and ad hominem attacks on those who disagree with her. Displeased by Neera Tanden’s decision to withdraw from consideration for the director of the Office of Management and Budget as her nomination stalled, The ReidOut host fervently denounced Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and…

Old habits die hard at Univision; to the standard practice of keeping what they consider damaging information from their audiences, especially when reporting on immigration, the Spanish-speaking network is adding a dash of the tired anti-Trump antics to spin what they formerly called illegal “tent cities” under Trump, now that Biden is reopening those facilities.

The activist leading the leftist “dark money” group behind the Iowa Democratic Caucus app fiasco is trying to funnel millions into her gambit to fight conservative media.

The arrest of Emma Coronel, paramour of Mexican drug kingpin “El Chapo” on charges related to drug trafficking, appears to have given Telemundo and Univision the perfect excuse to not cover Joe Biden's reopening of the so-called cages for migrant children.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski rips Ted Cruz for staging a "photo op" of himself giving supplies to victims of the Texas freeze and power outages. But she has nothing but praise for AOC, who also was widely photographed giving out supplies in Texas.

On Monday, President Joe Biden took part in a CNN Town Hall and while Univision and Telemundo covered the event, showing the same two edited segments of the Q&A session in all their newscasts and leaving out the most relevant moment for their audiences: when Biden called Latinos (and Black) ignorant.

Love Rush Limbaugh or hate him, it is undeniable that he was a huge, transformative media figure. If there was ever a more impactful conservative media voice, this NewsBusters can't think of who it might be. And yet, incredibly, despicably, neither MSNBC's Morning Joe nor CNN's New Day devoted any time to a discussion of Rush's passing. On New Day, the blackout was absolute. The word "Rush"…
