8-0: Google News Rages, Pushing Leftist Media Undercutting Trump SOTU
Google News promoted only left-leaning outlets’ coverage of President Trump’s State of the Union, according to an MRC review. Eight of nine featured articles were from liberal sources, with none from right-leaning media. The selection highlighted negative or critical takes on Trump, raising concerns over bias and lack of ideological diversity in Google’s news curation.
NBC’s ‘Today’ Show Offers Surprisingly Balanced SOTU Wrap-Up
As we’ve documented recently at NewsBusters, CBS’s flagship newscasts have shown little wholesale changes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that we both initially saw and as had been reported. Instead, it’s been more of the same liberal drivel. But ironically, there have been a few moments at NBC where it’s come across as this was the network she actually leads and such was the case on…
ABC, NBC Try to Trap Hughes Family Over Trump Inviting Team to SOTU
Early Tuesday, America’s new leading family — as in the Hughes klan, including USA Hockey star and gold-medal-winning goal scorer Jack Hughes — wadded into network morning newscasts and were sadly met on ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today with attempts to sully their reputations and maim both their character and the entire men’s team for taking a phone call Sunday…
ABC Hurls Trump Hate Before SOTU, CBS Hits GOP But Goes Soft on Dems
On Tuesday, ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) and CBS Mornings combined to offer widely negative rhetoric in previewing President Trump’s State of the Union, painting it as an almost hapless endeavor amid “his lowest numbers yet” to change the minds of voters poised to trigger a blue tsuanmi in November. Unsurprisingly, GMA was the most negative. In short,…
Oliver Mourns How Musk Has Made X 'Much Darker'
For some reason, HBO’s John Oliver decided that Elon Musk and his transformation of Twitter/X would make for golden comedic material for his main topic on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight. As Oliver tells it, the site has gotten “much darker” since Musk took over, but any reference to the prior problems or his native Britain’s creepy solutions was left unmentioned.
Trump Praised At White House Black History Month Event, Networks SKIP
February is Black History Month, so it shouldn't be considered unreasonable for one to expect to see media coverage of President Trump's White House event on Wednesday. But the Wednesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS all skipped it. Fox's Special Report With Bret Baier did mention it and Laura Ingraham made it the focus of her opening 'Angle' on The Ingraham Angle…
ABC Trumpets ‘Devastating’ Blow to Trump in SCOTUS Case on Tariffs
All the major broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — broke in Friday morning with special reports on the Supreme Court’s 6-to-3 ruling declaring most of President Trump’s landmark tariffs unconstitutional. Unsurprisingly, ABC was almost ebullient in touting the ruling as “devastating,” “huge,” and “monumental” in hampering Trump’s presidency.
Poo Omission Over? NBC Breaks Dam on Potomac Sewage, ABC/CBS Still Out
On Tuesday night, we saw the first crack in the figurative dam of bias by omission on the literal mountains of poop flowing into the Potomac River — which is now the largest sewage spill in U.S. history — with a full story on NBC Nightly News and then a news brief on Wednesday’s Today for a combined two minutes and 11 seconds, marking the first time any of the broadcast…
ABC Downplays, CBS Barely Covers Rhode Island Shooting by Trans Psycho
On Monday afternoon in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, there was sadly the latest case of trangender violence inflicted on innocents refusing to celebrate their deranged life choices and rejection of basic biology as a man pretending to be a woman stormed his son’s high school hockey game and killed two, injuring three, and dying by suicide. By Tuesday morning when these facts had come to light, ABC’…
Late Night Hosts Haven't Interviewed a GOP Candidate Since 2016
On Monday, CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, denounced FCC chairman Brendan Carr for threatening to use the agency’s equal time rule against the late night comedy shows, which he claimed led CBS to force him to put his interview with State Rep. James Talarico on YouTube. With the equal time rule now in the news, NewsBusters analysts dug into the archive to find out when…
After Melting Down over Vance, Sunday Shows OMIT Rubio's Munich Speech
Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an address before the Munich Security Conference that was warmly received and met with rapturous applause. And if you were waiting for the Elitist Media’s Sunday shows’ analyses, you might think the speech never happened at all.
POO-THETIC: Networks Ignore Largest Sewage Spill in U.S. History
Back on January 19, a D.C. Water sewer pipe burst, sending hundreds of millions of gallons of untreated sewage — collected from the Maryland and Virginia suburbs — into the Potomac River and triggering not only a foul smell and unspeakable solids, but levels for bacteria such as e. coli soaring to 4,000 times above safe levels for recreational use. As of this week, concerns remain and…
Top CBS, NBC Shows Ignore Obama WH Counsel’s Deep Ties to Epstein
This week, reports surfaced that the Epstein Files contain a litany of messages outlining a deep-seated personal and professional relationship between the disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler. As a result, she resigned from her high-ranking post at Goldman Sachs. Despite the thousand-plus minutes of Epstein coverage on the flagship…
Top CBS, NBC Shows Skip Actual Reporter Being Jailed by Actual Tyrant
On Monday, pro-democracy newspaperman Jimmy Lai was sentenced to two decades in prison by the Chinese Community Party-controlled Hong Kong judiciary, a tragic development for the 78-year-old Catholic whose Apple Daily paper was shuttered in June 2021 by authorities as the Chinese Communist Party regime formally seized control of the previously-semi-autonomous city state. Sadly but perhaps…
