NewsBusters Podcast: Trump's ICE, Not Hamas, Are the Media's 'Gestapo'
Three weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination, the media are back to promoting full-throated Nazi smears, especially denouncing ICE agents as Trump's "Gestapo." Plus: the liberal media celebrate the bravado of ICE-hating Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, recently named the half-time entertainer at Super Bowl 50 in February.

Margaret Brennan Enables Sen. Duckworth Smear of ICE as ‘Gestapo'
In an embarrassing interview, CBS’s Margaret Brennan sat passively as Illinois Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth repeated what is now known as the Zip-Tie Hoax: the debunked claim that children were zip-tied during ICE raids in Chicago. Additionally, Duckworth was allowed to incite further violence against ICE with her incendiary claim that they engage in “Gestapo tactics.”

FAKE NEWS: Scottie Mac Twists Gov. Cox’s Statements on Trans Motive
The left have been furiously spinning narrative in the wake of the horrific assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Much of this spin is dedicated to the negation of a transgender motive behind the shooting. In service of that narrative, CBS’s Scott MacFarlane completely misrepresented statements by Utah Governor Spencer Cox.

Called to the Principal’s Office: CBS to Change Sunday Show Interviews
On Friday, CBS News all but admitted they’ve lost the public’s trust when they admitted they would no longer be chopping down (read: engaging in funny business with) taped interviews — such as one Sunday with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — for their Sunday morning political talk show, Face the Nation, instead either airing them live or live to tape.

NewsBusters Podcast: Did CBS Think We’d Miss Their New Hatchet Job?
NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I were stunned by Sunday’s Face the Nation in which the show made a baffling decision to deceptively remove a key portion of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s answer about the alleged criminal record of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As our Bill D’Agostino wrote, this was part of a pattern of behavior from CBS News,…

Five Times CBS Was Caught Deceptively Editing Interviews
Yet again, the propagandists at CBS have found themselves in the midst of another deceptive editing scandal. On Sunday, the network was caught editing out the substantive portion of one of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s responses to a question on Face the Nation. But this incident is just the latest in CBS’s lengthy record of journalistic malfeasance. Let’s look back at some of the worst…

CAUGHT COOKING AGAIN: CBS Doctors Noem Response to ‘Maryland Dad’
CBS News is once again at the center of a self-inflicted editorial practices firestorm, after excising significant portions of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s response to a question regarding “Maryland Dad” Kilmar Abrego García. CBS’s latest cooked interview left a recitation of the allegations against Abrego García on the cutting room floor.

CBS’s Ed O’Keefe Enables J.B. Pritzker’s Election Denialist Conspiracy
During an interview broadcast on CBS’s Face the Nation, Senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe sat by as Democrat Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker uttered the wildest conspiracy theories about rigged and possibly cancelled elections in the United States. Unfortunately, he does so with no pushback.

CBS’s Margaret Brennan Enables Wes Moore’s Advocacy for Illegal Aliens
CBS’s Margaret Brennan has Maryland Gov. Wes Moore on for a broad interview covering a range of subjects. But it was on immigration where Brennan enables Moore’s open advocacy for “Maryland Dad” and suspected MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar-Abrego García.

‘STUPID MEDIA NARRATIVE’: SecState Rubio COOKS CBS’s Margaret Brennan
Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you that BRENNAN is at it again. During her post-Alaska summit interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Fact the Nation, Brennan suggested that European leaders attending the upcoming Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine do so in order to protect the latter from being bullied…

BURIED: Nets Give 1,000x More to Russia Probe vs. Gabbard Bombshell
On July 18, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified bombshell findings about the role of the Obama administration played in late 2016 and early 2017 to manufacture the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. Unsurprisingly, ABC, CBS, and NBC — which spent 2,284 minutes on their flagship evening newscasts salivating over every turn — have spent only two minutes and 17 seconds on…

OMISSION: Sunday Legacy Shows AVOID Biden’s Exploding Autopen
Growing up, my mother would often tell me that one can not cover the sun with their hand- a Hispanic saying meant to express the futility of attempting to conceal the obvious. It seems, with regard to the still-developing Biden autopen scandal, that the media are going to try to do so nonetheless.

CBS’s Margaret Brennan Firefights DNI Gabbard’s Russia Hoax Doc Drop
Across the legacy media Sunday dial, there was just one mention of the explosive declassification and publication of documents related to the Russia Hoax by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Rest assured, it wasn’t a bipartisan panel segment or an interview with Gabbard- but CBS’s Margaret Brennan bringing on the ranking House Intel Democrat in order to firefight the release and…
