"President Obama said he underestimated America’s anxiety over terrorism because he didn’t watch enough cable news. His comment came as a MAJOR disappointment -- to all of his lackeys at MSNBC." -- NewsBusted anchor Jodi Miller

After CNBC Squawk Box co-host Joe Kernen complained about his recent spat with allergies, citing warm weather as a potential cause of ragweed growth, co-host Becky Quick teased him about climate change. “I’m allergic, I’m allergic,” Kernen said. “And I started googling it today, warm weather and ragweed which has always been a problem. Supposedly, it’s really everywhere.”  

This week, NewsBusters is presenting the Media Research Center’s “Best Notable Quotables of 2015,” our annual awards for the year’s worst journalism. Today, the “Pantsuit Patrol Award,” for boosting Hillary Clinton. Winning this category was Mark Halperin, a veteran of ABC News and Time magazine, who gushed over Hillary: “The two words she needs are ‘fun’ and ‘new.’ And part of why yesterday was…

There was surprising consensus on today's Morning Joe concerning the Washington Post cartoon that depicted Ted Cruz as an organ grinder and his youngs girls as monkeys. From Mika Brzezinski to Joe Scarborough to Harold Ford, Jr., there was universal condemnation of Ann Telnaes' foul image.  Willie Geist said it best: "people look for moments of bias in the media. Here's one right here. You can't…

It's always encouraging to hear that Rush Limbaugh's outraged by the same leftist media gunk that we've highlighted here at NewsBusters. On Monday's radio show, El Rushbo highlighted the "unhinged" Rolling Stone interview with John Kerry that we noted, picking up on a piece by Kevin Williamson at National Review. Rush also brought up (as we did) Rebecca Traister's article in New York magazine…

Just over two weeks after the major network evening newscasts spent 24 minutes obsessing on December 8 over Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the U.S., the three programs returned on Tuesday night to devote ten and a half minutes to Trump’s declaration that Hillary Clinton was “schlonged” in 2008 by losing to then-Senator Barack Obama.

The Media Research Center’s Director of Media Analysis Tim Graham made his latest appearance on the Fox News Channel (FNC) program The O’Reilly Factor Tuesday night for what was quite the lively segment with fill-in host Eric Bolling and ETWN correspondent Lauren Ashburn as Graham and Bolling spared with Ashburn over the media’s obsession with Donald Trump and double standard when it comes to…

As Curtis Houck at NewsBusters reported this evening, the Washington Post published "a disgusting GIF early Tuesday evening depicting (Ted) Cruz’s young daughters as toy monkeys being played with" accompanied by a pathetic two-paragraph justification by cartoonist Ann Telnaes as to why Cruz's daughters "were fair game." The Post withdrew the cartoon and the justification within a few hours, but…

If we’re counting press clips, the year 2015 in politics was dominated by Donald Trump. The liberal press is emotionally conflicted on this one. Some are delighted with the notion that he’s going to destroy the Republican brand with oafish overstatements. Some are disgusted that he’s still in the race despite all the negativity they’ve piled all over him. And now some are worried he might even…

So what exactly is Deadspin? Here’s how they describe themselves on Twitter: “Sports News without Access, Favor, or Discretion.” Okay, cool. This jives nicely with how I always viewed them. But then I saw this story that Deadspin ran on Monday.

Whenever a liberal includes "fact" at the start of a sentence, rest assured that whatever follows is usually more accurately described as opinion -- and dubious opinion at that. This amusing phenomenon could be seen last night on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show during a segment about South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham dropping out of the GOP presidential race.  

Commenting on Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s daughters appearing in a campaign ad, Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes created a GIF early Tuesday evening depicting Cruz’s young daughters as toy monkeys being played with and arguing that “[t]hey are fair game.” In attempting to explain her arguably racist GIF, Telnaes argued that because daughters Caroline and Catherine appeared…

Today's release from the government on economic growth estimated that the nation's Gross Domestic Product grew at an annual rate of 2.0 percent in the third quarter, a slight downward revision from November's estimate of 2.1 percent. This continues the economy's dismal, worst-since-World War II growth performance since the recession officially ended over six years ago. But never fear. According…

The lead segment in the 3:00 p.m. Eastern hour of Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom featured quite the display of verbal fireworks as conservative writer Kurt Schlichter angered fill-in host Don Lemon when he invoked the Clinton sex scandals of the 1990's with former President Clinton turning “his intern into a humidor” while discussing vulgar comments made by Donald Trump.
