NBC Prez Declared We Are Winning War With Trump (Fired Days Later)
Usually, our NewsBusters FLASHBACK items showcase liberal news media examples a little older than a week. But this one is too good to forget.

Does YouTube Consider CCP to Be an 'Authoritative Source?'
We already know that YouTube considers the World Health Organization to be an 'authoritative source' to the extent that it will remove (censor) videos that run counter to the views promoted that organization by labeling such videos as "misinformation."

Smackdown: Citing the MRC, McEnany Embarrasses the Liberal Media
Along with reporters donning masks (which led to muffled questions), Friday’s abbreviated White House Press Briefing was tough sledding for the liberal media.

Kimmel Mocks Pence With Misleading Clip Accusing VP of PPE 'Stunt'
