Report: Activision Removes Tiananmen Square from Cold War Game Trailer

Activision apparently never read its own tagline “KNOW YOUR HISTORY OR BE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT.” The company edited its new video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War to cater to ommunist China. Activision quietly replaced the game trailer with one far shorter. The new one noticeably omitted footage from the famous Tiananmen Square crackdown by the communist Chinese government, which…

AP Won't Quote Opponents of Removing Robert E. Lee Statue

When it comes to debating the removal of  statues of Confederate generals, it’s clear Associated Press thinks one side doesn’t have “very fine people” on it. AP reporter Sarah Rankin explained the legal tussles over the (now-vandalized) Robert E. Lee statue on Richmond’s Monument Avenue, and only one side was quoted.

Column: The Convention Tone Police

The conventions have one long-standing trend in media bias: the description of tone. Every Republican convention is dark and divisive and angry and ultraconservative. Every Democrat convention is soothingly centrist and stuffed with "inspirational" speeches.

Nightmare: ABC, CBS Lose It After Trump Holds Naturalization Ceremony

Between Senator Tim Scott’s well-received Monday night speech, stories on both nights from everyday Americans, and remarks from rising stars, Tuesday’s RNC festivities resulted in a no good, awful, very bad day for the broadcast networks. Minutes into their coverage, ABC and CBS spontaneously combusted upon seeing President Trump holding a naturalization ceremony at the White House.

After Encouraging Riots, Cuomo and Lemon Fear It’s Helping Trump Win

Back in May and June, NewsBusters reported on how CNN personalities Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon had strongly encouraged violence in the streets in support of the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization. But with the 2020 election around the corner, the duo was fearful of riots helping President Trump get reelected. “Chris, as you know and I know it's showing up in the polling,” Lemon warned as…

Nets Hit Panic Button: NBC Host Upset Melania Condemned Looters?!

Late Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks were trapped between a rock and a hard place. ABC, CBS, and NBC found themselves begrudgingly praising First Lady Melania Trump’s 2020 RNC speech and while they did plenty of that, they found an escape hatch by using her speech to broadly attack all speakers before her on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, NBC Nightly News anchor…

‘F**k This B***h’: Celebs Assail FLOTUS During RNC Speech

In what world would a speech given by a U.S. First Lady, where she expressed support for hard working mothers, showed charity for those afflicted by COVID-19, and expressed her desire for an end to racial strife in the country, be the subject of division and cruelty from famous and influential Americans? Well, in Hollywood, of course.

Night Two of RNC Disrupted 4 Times by CNN, Only Once for Dems

Republican National Convention has become a proving ground for how inconsistent the CNN was in terms of treating both political parties fairly. As NewsBusters’ associate editor Scott Whitlock documented last week, the anti-Trump news outlet only interrupted night two of the Democratic National Convention once. But for night two of the RNC, CNN disrupted the proceedings four times to whine…

Furious Joy Reid Denounces New Citizens as ‘Props’ of GOP Convention

The hosts of MSNBC on Tuesday howled with rage at night two of the Republican National Convention, an evening that featured multi-ethnic men and women becoming U.S. citizens in a televised White House ceremony. According to Joy Reid, these people were nothing more than “props” in a Republican effort to not be seen as racist. Reid raged, “Donald Trump made that ceremony about him. He made that…

Why Is THIS MSNBC Democratic Hack Fact Checking the GOP Convention?

It’s not been a secret that MSNBC is a far-left network, but this is a bit much even for the liberal cable channel. Night two of the Republican National Convention endured frequent interruptions from far-left host Rachel Maddow. Maddow offered her own version of "fact checks," expressing annoyance at even having to air the GOP convention.

Sandmann TEARS APART the Liberal Media ‘War Machine’ in RNC Speech

On Tuesday night at the virtual 2020 Republican National Convention, former Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann wiped the floor with the liberal media, stating before the world that the vicious, unrepentant “war machine” in “attack mode” didn’t care about finding “the truth” of what happened with Sandmann and his classmates January 18, 2019 on the National Mall.

Cuomo: Dems ‘Not Lying’ Like Trump, Scott ‘Carrying Water’ for Him

Shortly after CNN’s coverage of the first night of the Republican National Convention ticked over into the wee hours of Tuesday morning, network clowns Chris “Fredo” Cuomo and Don Lemon took over to continue the nonsense. Just prior to a commercial break, Cuomo suggested that the Democratic convention didn’t need to be fact-checked because they were “not lying” like President Trump. He also…

Hack Journalists Yawn at Pelosi’s Vile ‘Enemies of the State’ Comment

Just hours after the GOP kicked off its 2020 convention on Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi came out swinging while calling President Trump and his fellow Republicans “enemies of the state.” People in the “mainstream media” ignored the California Democrat’s remark even though they had provided wall-to-wall coverage regarding comments from Trump and Congressional Republicans when they used…
