Ukraine

CNN economics and political commentator Catherine Rampell called out the liberal media’s fairy tale that gas prices are skyrocketing mainly because of the war in Ukraine. Rampell appeared on the March 8 edition of CNN anchor Kate Bolduan’s show to explain what President Joe Biden’s announcement to ban oil and gas imports from Russia might mean for Americans. 

CBS Mornings on Wednesday highlighted the plight of an Ukrainian American who went to Poland to find her niece and nephew. They were all turned away from the American embassy and are now basically stranded. Co-host Tony Dokoupil only referred to “reassurance from the U.S. government.” He played a clip of the President, but never said the words “Joe Biden” while recounting this…

On Tuesday’s CBS Mornings, co-host and Democratic Party donor Gayle King channeled MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid by playing the race card concerning the ongoing plight of the millions of Ukrainian refugees, lamenting that those who’ve come to the United States from El Salvador, Haiti, and Honduras “were not welcome” nor “received very well.” In other words, the west has shown its racist bones…

Prior to Monday’s explosive post-briefing kerfuffle (which NewsBusters was able to obtain from a source), the regularly scheduled Psaki Show featured the return of Doocy Time as the Fox News correspondent battled the press secretary over who or what’s to blame for high gas prices and why there’s been, at best, an apprehension to increased domestic oil and gas production as Russia’s war on…

Was it part of multimillionaire CBS comedian Stephen Colbert’s routine to look like a complete hypocrite by lecturing people about the morals of paying higher gas prices?

NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I began our week of guest hosting the NewsBusters podcast by highlighting the downfall of Kremlin-funded RT and why no one should be shedding tears. We also discussed where the liberal media have failed (hint: it has to do with energy) and succeeded in reminding people of what honest journalism should look like.

The danger and likely outcome of trying to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine is open warfare between multiple nuclear powers. But that outcome be damned by The View’s Sunny Hostin on Monday as the ABC co-host demanded that NATO institute a no-fly zone. And according to her back and forth with co-host Sara Haines, Hostin seemed to think NATO was already at war with Russia.

Over at the Washington Free Beacon, the indefatigable Chuck Ross wrote on Saturday about the arrest of a freelance reporter with the taxpayer-funded Voice of America (VOA) who had been “arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia” “at the Poland-Ukraine border.”

When a president’s poll numbers are tanking, as the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll shows they are for President Biden — 37 percent approval — he needed to do something spectacular, even radical, to keep him from sinking further. Unfortunately for Biden and his party, he did nothing that is likely to stem his free fall. Washington Post columnist Henry Olson said…

Tiffany Cross, the namesake host of The Cross Connection, became the latest MSNBC personality to compare Ukraine’s literal war of survival to the alleged “rampant voter suppression” in America on her Saturday show during an interview with Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal.

By now you may have forgotten President Joe Biden gave his State of the Union address last week. On Monday, Biden walked across the White House lawn alone and in a mask. On Tuesday, he walked into a crowd of House members rejoicing that no more masks were needed. It was the perfect metaphor for Biden at governance and Biden at speech. First, forgive Biden for his flubs and twisted words. He is…

After NBC’s Today skipped on Friday morning the frightening news that Russia had criminalized reporting basic facts about their war on Ukraine, NBC Nightly News gave the story 55 seconds of muted coverage hours later, possibly due to the fact that they were still reporting from Moscow as other western networks ceased reporting there and not risk prison sentences of up to 15…

Washington — I hate Russian President Vladimir Putin! I would put him in a category with Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler, and his countryman, J.V. Stalin. It took Castro, Hitler and Stalin years to achieve their distinction, at least with me. KGB Col. Putin moved more rapidly, but now he has arrived. He is a full-blooded tyrant. People throw the term “hate” around very cavalierly, at least in…

MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton prepared for the 57th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, by joining MTP Daily host Chuck Todd on Friday where both he and Todd lamented that President Biden did not use his Tuesday State of the Union address to tie the fight for “voting rights” to Ukrainians’ fight for freedom.
