Stewart Downplays Motives, Wonders If Shooters 'Are F****** With Us'

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart tried to present himself as the only reasonable man in America on Monday’s The Daily Show.

NewsBusters Podcast: Suddenly, Media Cry 'Lawfare' Over Poor Jim Comey

The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey caused wailing and gnashing of teeth in the liberal TV studios. The most ridiculous argument came from anyone arguing that suddenly the nonpartisanship of our government prosecutors has come to an unprecedented end, as if Biden didn't weaponize the Justice Department, and Democrat prosecutors never sought to ruin Trump.

In Lieu of Interview, Erin Burnett Gives Zohran Mamdani a Warm Cocoon

With New York Mayor Eric Adams bowing out of the 2025 mayoral race, CNN’s Erin Burnett saw fit to interview the frontrunner: State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. What ensued was not so much an interview as it was the construction of a warm cocoon from which Mamdani could emerge if it was safe enough.

NY Times Weeps on Page One Over Ghouls Fired for Ugly Anti-Kirk Posts

Sunday’s New York Times front-page investigation, “Remarks on Kirk’s Assassination Bring On Broad Wave of Firings,” by Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs and Bernard Mokam, was galling for anyone whose sense of history goes back five years. During the 2020-era George Floyd hysteria, the Times ran little news coverage of the many people (many not even conservatives) getting cancelled…

Tapper Spends Hour Implying Kimmel Is the REAL Victim of Kirk Murder

On Sunday’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, CNN host Jake Tapper spent an hour mourning the six-day suspension of ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel — a personal friend Tapper didn’t disclose — as dangerous for free speech. Most disgusting was Tapper relegating the September 10 murder of Charlie Kirk to a supporting role, thus painting a narrative (via use of his time) that Kimmel…

CBS Suggests Unabomber Ted Kaczynski Had Some Good Arguments & Tactics

She also seemed to call the attack part of "a generalized frustration" against ICE's "unreasonable clampdown" and "a response to an outrage."

CNN's Jeremy Diamond Battles Hamas Official Over Gaza Deaths

Hey, did you see the big news made last Thursday regarding the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza? You didn't see that one side in the Israel-Hamas war, which is now nearly two years old, said they know the price is high, but there is no other option? Of course you didn't see it, or hear much about it, because it was a top ranking Hamas official who told that to CNN, not an IDF…
