Protesters

The networks spent this morning crying outrage at President Trump for visiting the historic St. John’s Church on Monday to show his support, after Antifa broke windows and tried to burn it down the night before. On Good Morning America, White House correspondent Cecilia Vega was more upset at President Trump taking photos in front of the church, than she was of the rioters who defaced…

From the start, TV news media have done their darnedest to paint the riots happening across the country in a positive light. While many journalists have glossed over the widespread violence by relying on misleading characterizations like “mostly peaceful,” others have outright defended and justified the rioting.

While many in the liberal media were treating looters and rioters as though they were a mysterious group of unidentifiable people, CBS correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti approached a store in Santa Monica, California on Monday and called out someone carrying “Black Lives Matter” sign while they stole merchandise. He even chased after a group who stole some surfboards and pressed them on their…

Ahead of a Monday night that would likely see more chaos, looting, and riots on the streets of the nation’s capital, National Guard troops made their way onto White House grounds to bolster Secret Service and local police protecting President Trump. In response to the images coming in, CNN was appalled. Chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta equated it to something you would see in an…

Pop music weirdo Lady Gaga has been doing her best to pin America’s current racial tensions on President Trump and on “everyday Americans” on social media. Though in her frenzy to condemn her political enemies, Gaga’s latest Twitter rant failed to mention the actual name of the criminal who allegedly perpetrated the crime that has incensed Americans.

Even after radical left-wing groups vandalize news buildings, they still get defended by their friends in the media. After NBC scoffed at President Trump for calling out Antifa agitators Sunday, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell complained on her show Monday that the president was “cherry picking” Antifa to “go after his political enemies.”

On Monday, CBS This Morning lined up so-called “experts” on race relations to accuse “white Americans” of being “taught” to have “contempt for black life” and that racism was like “dust in the air,” something “ingrained in our society.” The nasty blanket statements were treated as objective fact rather than radical declarations.

The networks went out of their way to protect violent left wing mobs like Antifa rioting and looting this past weekend, by insisting they were the outlier in demonstrations that happened across the country, protesting the death of George Floyd. While showcasing…

In the past few days, we’ve seen disturbing videos and reports of journalists getting brutalized from both sides of recent clashes: rioters beating them, damaging and stealing equipment, and police arresting and shooting reporters with rubber bullets or pepper spray balls while they just try to report. But according to CNN’s media analyst and Reliable Sources host, Brian Stelter,…

NewsBusters and this author have repeatedly pointed out how MSNBC and NBC have been a reliable safe harbor for the left-wing domestic terrorist group known as Antifa. And they back at it again, with Sunday Today anchor Willie Geist and White House correspondent Kelly O’Donnell scoffed at claims from the White House and the Department of Justice that Antifa was partially to blame for…

The brief arrest of a CNN news crew covering the mayhem in Minneapolis prompted New York Times media reporter James Poniewozik to melodramatically take on President Trump for his action against Twitter, in “A Live Look At Censorship, No Tweets Involved” in Saturday’s New York Times. The paper also reacted with alarm Thursday when conservatives criticized Twitter for its…

The New York Times lead National “news” story on Friday was a full-page opinionated attack on conservatives by NewsBusters regular Jeremy Peters, who once again used the coronavirus pandemic as a cudgel: “‘The Crisis of 2020,’ Predicted in 1991: What’s Next?” Peters first marveled at how the 1991 book “Generations” by William Strauss and Neil Howe, “which introduced a provocative theory that…
