FLASHBACK: How the Media Tried to Kill Hillary’s E-Mail Scandal
Eight years ago, the New York Times’s Michael Schmidt broke the news that Hillary Clinton ignored government rules and used a personal server for e-mail during her time in office.

TV News Censors Buffett’s Slam of Biden’s ‘Illiterate’ Class Warfare
This week, the liberal news networks said absolutely nothing about billionaire Warren Buffett’s barely-veiled slam of President Biden and other liberals for their newest class warfare gambit: demonizing corporations that buy back their stock. That’s a far cry from 2011 and 2012, when those same networks helped juice then-President Obama’s re-election campaign by trumpeting Buffett’s call for…

FLASHBACK: 50 Years of the Liberal Media’s Pro-Abortion Zealotry
Fifty years ago this weekend, the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision split Americans on the issue of abortion, but the media elite have never been divided on the issue.

NEW NewsBusters Podcast: '60 Minutes' Acts as News Butler for Biden
CBS journalist Scott Pelley was as firm as jelly in his 60 Minutes interview with President Biden. His "questions" were often like "what did you think?" and "I wonder why you think that is." Kevin Tober joins the show to analyze all of the sappy passages that sound like the White House wrote them.

State-Run TV: 60 Minutes Drools Over Biden in Syrupy Interview
On Sunday night, President Joe Biden sat down for an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley.

Conservative Pol Is Butchered; One Journalist Mocked, Others Minimized
A tragic murder of a British Member of Parliament underlines the types of horrific crimes that journalists care about and the ones that they either joke about or minimize. David Amess, a conservative MP was brutally stabbed to death on Friday by an apparent Islamic fundamentalist. And while the networks offered just under ten minutes of coverage from Friday night to Monday night, they focused…

Cabinet Contrast: Biden’s ‘Superheroes’ vs. Trump’s ‘Ignoramuses’
The transition has only just begun, but already the liberal media are fawning over Joe Biden’s “historic” choices to staff his administration, as he selects “very experienced,” “very diverse” and “not political” “adults in the room” who actually “know what they are doing.” The contrast with the media’s reaction to President-elect Trump’s selections four years ago could not be more stark.

Deja Vu All Over Again? How the Media Got It Wrong in 2016
Election Day is now just 17 days away, and we’re beginning to hear the media dismiss Trump’s chances, just as they did four years ago. But we all know what happened four years ago.

Are We Dumb? CBS Host Pretends It's Shocking Woodward Showed a Bias!
How stupid does Scott Pelley think we are? Can we really be told after five years of fire-breathing televised Trump hatred that we live in a world where reporters stick to reporting, not editorializing? But on Sunday night's 60 Minutes, he pretended with Bob Woodward that a reporter sharing anti-Trump opinions was a little naughty, a bit shocking!
