Forty-five minutes into Wednesday’s edition of the podcast Piers Morgan Uncensored, former NBC News correspondent Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd made a splash by drawing the curtain back a little on how the mainstream press concealed President Biden’s mental decline because of fear of being seen by their colleagues as helping Trump by hurting Biden (how did that work out…

'PUBLIC' Broadcasting Watch: PBS and NPR Delight LGBTQ Propagandists

As much as the CEOs of PBS and NPR claim to Congress they are nonpartisan and unbiased, there are many ways to demonstrate they careen to the Left. Shortly after their House hearing, the leftist Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued their "GLAAD Media Awards" and honored PBS and NPR for completely one-sided promotion of the LGBTQ agenda.

MSNBC Exploits Ancient Stoic Philosophy as Left-Wing Propaganda Tool

MSNBC Exploits Ancient Stoic Philosophy as Left-Wing Propaganda Tool

On Thursday’s episode of The 11th Hour, MSNBC showed yet again the extent of their lack of self-awareness. Host Stephanie Ruhle used a discussion with author Ryan Holiday as an occasion to weaponize classical Stoic philosophy, and the memory of the second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, for the purposes of the 21st-century left-wing media’s political hang-ups.

NewsBusters Podcast: Lester Holt Hypes the 'Trump Tariff Meltdown'

If Trump’s second term was a movie, the network news anchors would title it Trump Tariff Meltdown. In all the tariff turbulence, the networks have obsessed over economics with a very negative tone, even on the typically soft-news morning shows. Good news on inflation and employment is buried in the "meltdown" hype.

No ‘Equivalent’; CNN Says There’s Only Real ‘Extremism’ on the Right

CNN’s supposed extremism expert Donie O’Sullivan — whom one could think of as Irish Brian Stelter (and with hair) to get a sense of their worldview — joined Friday’s CNN News Central to preview his latest report for Sunday’s The Whole Story about political extremism and falsely claimed “the issue very much so is on the right” but no “equivalent on the left.”

Cooper Asks Sanders If Trump 'Is Trying to Whitewash American History'

CNN’s Anderson Cooper hosted a town hall with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday, and, even by CNN’s standards, it was quite the softball session. Not only did both men take advantage of fact-checker Daniel Dale apparently having better things to do with his time by accusing President Trump of “whitewashing American history,” but Cooper even invited the president of American University’s…

Fox News: CNN's Daniel Dale Unloaded 23 On-Air Fact Checks of Trump II

NewsBusters has repeatedly noted that Dale appears on air at CNN overwhelmingly to "correct" Trump. Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn exposed that pattern again: in the first 80 days of Trump's second term, Dale made at least 23 on-air fact-checks of Trump, but only two for Biden during the same period in 2021.

On Friday's episode of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish surprisingly praises Marco Rubio's take on revoking student visas as "common sense." But Cornish once again assembles an unbalanced panel, bereft of any Trump-supporting Republican.
