The Taliban's rapid rise to power after President Biden's poorly-planned withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan is a humanitarian disaster for the people of that country, especially women and children; a potential death sentence for the thousands of Afghans who helped U.S. forces during the past 20 years; a strategic debacle for the U.S.; and a moment of sick celebration for radical…

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we begin with the question: when the news heavily suggests that everything is fine in America, what's missing from the news? Republicans, first and foremost, or anyone who would strongly question Biden's hold on reality. The press was pretty rough with Biden as Afghanistan quickly collapsed to the vicious Taliban, but people like Brian Stelter complained the…

Is there anything funnier than CNN complaining about "over the top" negative coverage? On Sunday's Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter came rushing to Joe Biden's defense, complaining about hyper-critical coverage of the fiasco in Afghanistan. You could never be critical enough of Trump, and Biden should be granted a wide berth.

Now that Meghan McCain has exited the stage at ABC's The View, some TV critics are looking back at her tenure. Washington Post TV critic Inkoo Kang concluded she was a feisty asset for the show...as "a highly effective heel, a love-to-hate reality villain who brought a badly needed wild-card energy to the show." To many people to the right of Joy Behar, she was the hero, not…

Stephen Colbert is wrong about a lot, but his biggest mistake yet was allowing Clown News Network’s Brian Stelter onto his show this week. The Late Show saw a drastic decrease in viewership during Colbert’s segment with the news anchor who scrambled helplessly in an attempt to defend Chris Cuomo. 

Everyone knows that NPR is liberal. On the Reliable Sources podcast, CNN's Brian Stelter found that NPR public editor Kelly McBride found there were two kinds of criticism about media bias. The left-wingers care about NPR and they matter, and the right-wingers don't have "genuine criticism" that needs to be taken seriously.

Brian Stelter made his network look even worse last night in a pathetic attempt to defend CNN host Chris Cuomo. CNN’s media correspondent and Reliable Sources host went on The Late Show to spin for Cuomo advising his scandal-embroiled governor brother, but even far-left host Stephen Colbert wouldn’t let him get away with it.

Sunday’s so-called Reliable Sources was the first real public statement CNN had put out about what they regarded as the “Chris Cuomo Conundrum,” as their chyron put it. Host Brian Stelter downplayed Cuomo’s massive breach of journalistic ethics and proclaimed there was a lot of “sympathy” for him at the network. He even suggested their non-punishment was punishment enough for Cuomo…

Remember when the media were in love with Andrew Cuomo? We sure do. But now that he’s a proven serial groper, the media’s lovefest with the disgraced Democratic New York Governor looks all the more embarrassing in hindsight.

On Sunday's Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter made a big sloppy ridiculous point that somehow Trump was comparable to Jim Jones, who oversaw a mass suicide of 900 followers. Inside his bubble, Stelter blames the right-wingers for destroying the credibility of the press. He never sees garbage like this as hurting the media's image for fairness. Fairness is overrated.

CNN hosts get incredibly overwrought about Republicans underplaying the January 6 riot as a tourist visit that got out of hand. But they have no resistance whatsoever to comparing January 6 to 9/11, or on today's Reliable Sources, to the Jonestown massacre of 1978, where about 900 members of the People's Temple committed a mass suicide under orders from Jim Jones. Rep. Jackie Speier…

The night crew makes it return as Curtis Houck and Nicholas Fondacaro will be serving as co-hosts for the week with Tim Graham out of the office. On today’s episode, the guys went through the liberal media’s silence on Hunter Biden’s latest escapade, Carl Bernstein calling Trump a “war criminal,” Tucker Carlson being harassed in public, and the rest of the past week’s news that Fondacaro…

On last Sunday’s Reliable Sources, author Michael Wolff admonished host Brian Stelter for his show having “all the people saying the same old stuff….You're incredibly repetitive. It's week after week.” This Sunday, it’s exactly the same, with Stelter bringing on “legendary investigative journalist” Carl Bernstein calling Trump a deranged madman. Oh, but today he’s a domestic “war…

Former Facebook Vice President Brian Boland scolded his former employer for not being more censorious amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The former Facebook executive made a July 18 appearance on CNN's Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter to rake his former workplace over the coals for not censoring enough. Stelter set the stage by warning viewers: “It's not hard to find anti-vaccination…
