FLASHBACK: Walters Derided RT Anchor Who Resigned to Protest Putin

The propaganda network RT this week suffered a mortal blow when DirectTV FINALLY dropped the outlet known for offering pro-Putin lies and ridiculous spin. On Thursday, CNN explained that “RT America will cease productions and lay off most of its staff.” It was eight years ago today that one journalist bravely resigned from RT to protest the network’s Putin propaganda in the wake of the (first…

The State of Disunion

By now you may have forgotten President Joe Biden gave his State of the Union address last week. On Monday, Biden walked across the White House lawn alone and in a mask. On Tuesday, he walked into a crowd of House members rejoicing that no more masks were needed. It was the perfect metaphor for Biden at governance and Biden at speech. First, forgive Biden for his flubs and twisted words. He is…

NBC Offers Muted Coverage in Moscow of Putin’s Law Criminalizing News

After NBC’s Today skipped on Friday morning the frightening news that Russia had criminalized reporting basic facts about their war on Ukraine, NBC Nightly News gave the story 55 seconds of muted coverage hours later, possibly due to the fact that they were still reporting from Moscow as other western networks ceased reporting there and not risk prison sentences of up to 15…

NewsBusters Podcast: NBC Rips 'DeathSantis' on Mask 'Bullying' of Kids

NBC spent not one, but two nights trying to make a scandal out of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis telling high-school kids behind his podium at an event that they didn't have to wear masks, since that was "ridiculous." NBC found an outraged parent and that completely nonpartisan head of the CDC for rebuttal. Even after the CDC relented on mask requirements, the networks are still ripping Republicans…

KGB Col. Putin’s Health in the Time of War

Washington — I hate Russian President Vladimir Putin! I would put him in a category with Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler, and his countryman, J.V. Stalin. It took Castro, Hitler and Stalin years to achieve their distinction, at least with me. KGB Col. Putin moved more rapidly, but now he has arrived. He is a full-blooded tyrant. People throw the term “hate” around very cavalierly, at least in…

ABC's 'The Wonder Years' Paints 'Concerned White Parents' as Racists

ABC’s The Wonder Years reboot has been surprisingly fair for a Hollywood show, and thus enjoyable to watch. Until it wasn’t. Wednesday’s episode, “Black Teacher,” took on the sensitive topic of race and racism and did a good job of it until the very end when they took a dig at “concerned white parents” who fight to make sure what their children are learning is “fair and balanced.” And…

Beckel and Me: An Odd Couple

As often happens among the political class in Washington, we met on television debating each other. I liked him immediately, despite our political and even religious differences. Bob Beckel and I became friends and eventually more than friends. Twenty years ago, after debating a long-forgotten subject on Fox News Channel, we came back to the green room where I noticed a streak of sadness in…

Clinging to Masks, Meyers Wonders: 'How Much of a D**k' Is DeSantis?

As even Democrats begin to rescind their mask mandates, NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers pondered an important question on his Thursday show (which aired early Friday): “How much of a dick” is Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for telling a group of high schoolers that masks aren’t necessary?

Race-Baiting NYTimes LIES About Zimmerman's 911 Call: ‘He Looks Black'

The shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin during a sidewalk confrontation with George Zimmerman in Orlando 10 years ago stoked the new civil rights movement – or so claims a column and video for the opinion section of the Times marking the anniversary: “Trayvon Martin Is Still Making America Confront Its Original Sin.” The presence of Al Sharpton is not the most offensive part…

The View Cheers as Extremist Guest Declares Constitution Is 'Trash'

Shortly after getting in touch with reality for a second and demanding greater domestic oil production earlier in the show on Friday, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View dipped into lunacy as they cheered on justice correspondent for The Nation and staunch racist Elie Mystal and his declaration that the Constitution is “kind of trash.”
