Howard Kurtz

Twelve years ago, NewsBusters exposed an act of plagiarism by CNN host and Time columnist Fareed Zakaria. Here's a look back at how the story unfolded, and the reaction from Zakaria's fellow journalists.

On the Fox News Channel show MediaBuzz on Sunday, host Howard Kurtz lamented that President Biden rarely appears before cameras, and former Jill Biden press aide Michael LaRosa departed from the Democrat script and lamented that Team Biden lives "in a bunker mentality" and treat the press "as a threat, as a hazard, and not as an opportunity." 

Fox News host Howard Kurtz opened his show MediaBuzz by tearing into the leftist media for their habit of purposefully dismissing scandals involving Democrats by falsely referring to them as conspiracy theories or “misinformation” only to quietly confirm their accuracy a year or more later when the public’s attention moved elsewhere. 

Fox News Channel’s MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz used the opening monologue of his show to slam the leftist media for melting down over CNN hosting a town hall for former President Donald Trump. Proving again that those at media outlets like MSNBC, The Washington Post, New York Times and others want total subservience to the radical left-wing agenda, Kurtz even aired a clip of MSNBC’s resident…

For 20 years, lefties have blasted the press as weak or corrupt because the media did not prevent the Bush administration from launching the war in Iraq. It’s become an enduring myth amongst liberals — and one that an honest review of news coverage would quickly debunk.

Fox News Channel's Howard Kurtz used the opening monologue of his Sunday media analysis show MediaBuzz to call out the media's double standard and selective outrage in how they deal with controversial comments from conservatives and leftists. When a conservative says something controversial, Kurtz noted that "everyone goes nuts." Yet when a leftist does the same "hardly anyone blinks…

On Sunday's edition of Fox News Channel's MediaBuzz, frequent guest and NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson said the quiet part out loud when she admitted that the lack of media coverage of Joe Biden's crackhead son Hunter is not expected to change and as a result, the political calculus on whether the growing list of crimes Hunter is accused of is enough to hurt…

On Sunday's MediaBuzz on Fox News, host Howard Kurtz discussed President Biden's Jackie gaffe with Brian Kilmeade and Democrat strategist Laura Fink. Kurtz underlined CNN and MSNBC completely ignored the gaffe, but Fink claimed ABC, CBS, and NBC all covered it. That is false. 

With the news this week of low-rated leftist CNN host, Don Lemon's demotion to mornings, Fox News MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz noted the glaring double standard in media coverage of the move. Kurtz pointed out how there was barely any mention of Lemon's divisive and hyper-partisan commentary nor mentions of how being moved from primetime to early mornings is a serious demotion for Lemon. 

The news of CNN canceling Brian Stelter’s Reliable Sources show wasn’t just relegated to chatter on CNN, towards the end of the only other national media analysis show MediaBuzz on the Fox News Channel, host Howard Kurtz had his own thoughts to share. What many people may not remember is Kurtz hosted CNN’s Reliable Sources before Stelter took the reins and ruined the…

Proving that his show is the antithesis of Brian Stelter’s Reliable Sources, Fox News Channel’s Howard Kurtz took a flamethrower to the media for what he noticed “feels like an orchestrated campaign” to knock both former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential campaign before they even announce. 

On Sunday’s Media Buzz on the Fox News Channel, host Howard Kurtz opened his show by ripping into the media’s hyper partisan coverage of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

On Sunday’s MediaBuzz on the Fox News Channel, host Howard Kurtz opened the show on a tear, ripping into the leftist media and Democrat politicians for blaming the Buffalo shooting on Fox News and Tucker Carlson. 

Sunday on the Fox News Channel’s MediaBuzz, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki joined host Howard Kurtz for an exit interview that, along with the news of the day (abortion and Ukraine), touched on media access to President Biden, rumors about her move to MSNBC, and Twitter being a liberal echo-chamber.
