THIS INTERVIEW Is Why We Needed Fox Noticias

For years, Spanish-language news media have been dominated by networks fully immersed in the immigration-industrial complex and acting as de facto clients of the Democratic Party. And for years, we called for an alternative. A recent interview on Fox Noticias demonstrates the importance of such an alternative.

Jim Acosta and the Collapse of the 'Mainstream Media'

The 2024 election sent serious shock waves through the badly named "mainstream media." The American mainstream has rejected the Democrat media establishment, finding them untrustworthy to "save democracy." It's more like arrogantly manipulating democracy. They through every rock and every kitchen sink at Donald Trump, and they lost. Is it time to say goodbye?

NewsBusters Podcast: The 'Without Evidence' Gang Leaps After DC Crash

Speculation can be the opposite of information, but any breaking news event is going to be wallowing in it. A plane-helicopter crash that kills 67 over the nation's capital is going to dominate many news cycles. The victims and their loved ones left behind deserve a nonpartisan, fact-based investigation of what happened. Our political system makes that difficult.
