Jonathan Karl is chief Washington correspondent for ABC News and author of Tired of Winning, Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party. It’s his third expose of Trump’s one-term presidency, and he even admitted to writing this one as a warning to voters. Naturally, PBS’s tax-supported political roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic invited Karl on to…

The top left corner of Monday’s New York Times tackled the “book bans” in Idaho and Iowa. Conservative activists were disparaged over 2,600 words. But the same reporter, Elizabeth Williamson, filed a shorter story on leftist censors in Maine opposing Abigail Shrier's book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. It didn't make the paper. 

There was much media angst over Donald Trump declaring he would be a dictator on “Day One” of a second term in office to promote border security and oil drilling. Scrape off the spicy language, and it sounds more like the standard executive orders every president issues upon taking…

PBS NewsHour anchor Geoff Bennett was right about one thing regarding a new book by journalist Joshua Green, The Rebels: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Struggle For a New American Politics: "what doesn't get nearly as much attention is the far left's influence in the Democratic Party." But the Green interview skipped controversies and any…

NewsBusters has learned that, as part of his press tour promoting his latest book Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America (which was released on November 7), ABC’s The View turned down a pitch from Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to enter the lion’s den for a third time to spar with the far-left, unhinged co-hosts and faux Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin.

PBS’s Amanpour & Co. show hosted journalist and anti-Israel activist Nathan Thrall, author of the non-fiction book A Day in the Life of Abed Salama. His ostensible subject was a Palestinian father whose son who died in a bus accident, and emergency response was delayed by Israeli security bureaucracy, but of course the story was twisted to symbolize the plight of the Palestinians…

At least California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, admits it. On the eve of a visit to San Francisco by China’s Xi Jinping, the city somehow, someway cleared out downtown homeless encampments. Newsom flat-out cops to the reason why. The governor said, “Folks say, ‘Oh they’re just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming into town.’ That’s true.…

On Tuesday, ABC’s chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl’s third anti-Trump book hits shelves and will send Resistance types into further episodes of collective hyperventilation over Trump and the GOP as threats to national security who must be crushed in 2024. Karl hawked the book on Monday’s Good Morning America and lashed out at voters for “not” having “paid much attention to…

Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, recently retired from Congress, became media-famous for his loud and proud opposition to President Donald Trump and then later his time as a Republican member of the House’s January 6 Committee, handpicked by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He’s the liberal media’s ideal "Republican." Now he’s making those familiar, friendly media rounds promoting his…

This week, former Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced she’d be coming out with a book about her career in Democratic politics entitled Say More: Lessons from Work, the White House, and the World. In a post on X, Psaki said Tuesday that the book will have “[l]ot’s of stories (Obama, Biden and yes…even Peter Doocy are in there)” as well as “lessons learned over my time…

Stuart Stevens, former Republican strategist and senior advisor to disgraced
“Republican” group the Lincoln Project, got the royal treatment on the taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour program. Stevens, promoting his new anti-Republican book The Conspiracy to End America: Five Ways My Old Party Is Driving Our Democracy to Autocracy, is the media’s favorite kind of Republican…

Remember when Sen. Rand Paul accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of funding China’s Wuhan virus lab? Fauci replied, “Sen. Paul, you do not know what you’re talking about.” The media loved it. Vanity Fair smirked, “Fauci Once Again Forced to Basically Call Rand Paul a Sniveling Moron.” But now the magazine has changed its tune, admitting, “In Major Shift, NIH Admits Funding Risky Virus Research in Wuhan…

Even on a newscast preceding that night’s GOP presidential debate, the tax-supported PBS NewsHour kept its focus on former president Donald Trump, inviting former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on to promote her book, Enough, about her traumatic experiences in the Trump White House and how dangerous it would be for Trump to win a second term of office. You may remember…

Host Christiane Amanpour interviewed former UK Tory minister and Member of Parliament Rory Stewart on Monday’s Amanpour & Co., and they got right down to smearing Stewart’s former Conservative Party in Britain, and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in particular, as dangerous extremist “nationalists.” Amanpour eagerly introduced Stewart, who in turn eagerly slimed his former…
