Chinese State-run Media Calls Freedom A ‘Virus’

The Houston Rockets didn’t just cut veteran center Enes Kanter Freedom Friday. They released a “virus,” according to China’s government propaganda media, Global Times. With China’s tallest, loudest critic no longer playing in the NBA, the communist country will now resume broadcasts of Freedom’s former team, the Boston Celtics.

CBC Hypes 'Expert' Warning Canada Protesters Manipulated by Russians

An interview by the CBC desperately trying to demonize the truckers and protesters in Canada with a cybersecurity "expert" who claims they are being manipulated by Russian agents goes off the rails and into the world of the surreal.

WashPost 'Fact Checker' Joins Assault on Free Beacon Crack-Pipe Story

It's amazing how the "independent fact checkers" show up to try and "correct" conservative reporting that embarrasses the Biden administration. First, it was Snopes that tried to claim the Washington Free Beacon's story on plans to provide free drug paraphernalia (including crack pipes?) for "harm reduction" was "Mostly False." Now Washington Post Pinocchio-peddler Glenn Kessler is…

Canadian Truckers: Threat or Menace? NYT Urged Trudeau to Call Cops

The New York Times continued to smear the Canadian truckers’ protest against vaccine mandates, a protest that has attracted other Canadians sick of the country’s overzealous Covid regulations under smug liberal Justin Trudeau.

Potty-Mouth: Morning Joe Mentions 'Toilets' 14x in Opening Minutes

Talk about having a potty mouth! With Joe Scarborough leading the [dis]charge, the Morning Joe crew mentioned "toilets" no fewer than 14 times in its six opening minutes today. We've talked before about Scarborough getting on his "hobbyhorse" and riding a favorite phrase into the ground. But this morning, it's more apt to describe Scarborough mounting his . . . commode. Morning Joe was making…

Washington Post’s Fairy Tale on Pennsylvania Voter Fraud

You can’t make it up. Unless, of course, you’re at The Washington Post. The other day, Post columnist Greg Sargent wrote a column, “GOP candidates add a repulsive new twist to Trump’s ‘big lie,’” in which he writes this of GOP Senate candidates in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio and Nevada: “It’s hardly surprising to hear that Republican Senate candidates are campaigning on the…

Jon Stewart’s Chickens Coming Home to Roost

Jon Stewart doesn’t know which way is up these days. The far-left host is shocked, shocked by his own party's speech suppression. The former Daily Show host once soaked up media praise for his progressive spin on the news. Now, far removed from that gig, the same reporters now look at him curiously, like a relic from the past.

ABC Fawned Over Holocaust-Denying Dictator: How Often Do You Cry?

ABC last week struggled to respond to Whoopi Goldberg’s shocking comments that the Holocaust wasn’t about race. But this is the same network that once fawned over the Holocaust-denying former leader of Iran. Fifteen years ago this week, then-Good Morning America host Diane Sawyer gushed over Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a “sentimental,” “sympathetic” man who cries a lot since he’s so caring…

NBC News Head: We’re ‘Nonpartisan,’ His Employees Didn’t Get the Memo

NBC News President Noah Oppenheim, on January 19, spat out the laughable line that his news network is “ferociously defending the idea that it’s possible to....be objective and nonpartisan.” Well his employees didn’t get the memo. Here is just some of the worst bias from NBC/MSNBC hosts and pundits since the NBC News president made that ludicrous statement.

Along with their guests on Friday morning's CNN Newsroom, co-hosts Jim Sciutto and Bianna Golodryga tried to inspire moderate white voters to drop their apathy towards the supposed decline of democracy and emergence of "autocracy and even fascism" in the form of new GOP-sponsored election laws.

NewsBusters Podcast: The Politics of the Olympics and Oscars

The Olympics are an athletic event, but they're political when the host country is an abusive dictatorship. NBC failed to see the ideological clash as they championed U.S.-born Ashley Gu competing for communist China and also striking advertising deals with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany. Geoffrey Dickens discusses his recent blogs on China and Olympic coverage.

Nets Unfazed By Biden PROMISE to Abandon Americans (AGAIN) in Ukraine

In an apparent attempt to not repeat the bad optics and moral travesty of failing to get Americans out of Afghanistan by an arbitrary/self-imposed deadline, President Biden has decided to simply not try to get Americans out of Ukraine at all if Russia invades. And almost as shocking, the liberal broadcast networks, who were actually tough on Biden’s abandonment a few months ago, didn’t share…

Jacqui Swagger: Heinrich Battles Psaki, Sullivan Over Russian Invasion

During a tense Friday White House press briefing in which National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan warned Americans to leave Ukraine in the next 24 to 48 hours ahead of a likely Russian invasion, Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich brought the heat to both Sullivan and Press Secretary Jen Psaki about whether President Biden still believes pre-invasion sanctions are “stupid” and whether a bloody war in…
