On Friday, audio of former President Barack Obama blasting the Trump administration’s coronavirus response during a phone call trying to drum up support for the Biden campaign was leaked to Yahoo News. Over the weekend and through Monday morning, the three broadcast networks repeatedly hyped the nasty, partisan attack without one word of criticism for Obama’s unseemly rhetoric.

Is it really too much to ask that the media report a quote, accurately? Apparently it is for NBC. On Meet the Press Sunday, NBC political director and MTP host Chuck Todd cut short a clip of Attorney General William Barr defending the DOJ’s decision to dismiss the Michael Flynn case in a CBS interview. After Todd edited the clip to take out crucial context, he absurdly proceeded to bash Barr’s…

Over the weekend, three of the nation’s top health officials and members of the Coronavirus Task Force, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, began their two weeks of at-home quarantine after they came in contact with someone with the virus. NBC’s Sunday Today, used the opportunity to take a morbid victory lap and cheer it as a rebuke of President Trump and calls to reopen. Political director Chuck Todd…

Usually, our NewsBusters FLASHBACK items showcase liberal news media examples a little older than a week. But this one is too good to forget. On April 27, NBC News President Andy Lack published a haughty op-ed for the network’s website Think. It was titled, “Journalism is under attack from coronavirus and the White House. But we're winning.” One week after this op-ed was published, Lack was fired…

As former Senate staffer Tara Reade gave her first on-camera interview detailing her sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden on Thursday, neither ABC’s World News Tonight that evening nor Friday’s Good Morning America mentioned the important development. While NBC and CBS did cover the story, both networks framed Reade’s public comments as a “response to Joe Biden’s strong denial.”

A week ahead of Attorney General William Barr’s decision on Thursday to have the Department of Justice drop their case against former General Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to announce the innocence of his former National Security Adviser. “What happened to General Michael Flynn, a war hero, should never be allowed to happen to a citizen of the United States again,” Trump…

Nearly two and a half years after accepting a plea deal because he was entrapped by anti-Trump FBI investigators, former General Michael Flynn saw light at the end of the tunnel Thursday. After the case was reviewed by the Department of Justice, Attorney General William Barr order the case be dropped citing the fact Flynn had not lied about anything material or central to the Russia investigation…

Late Night host Seth Meyers long ago shed the role of comedian who will mock both sides. He then shifted to political activist. If Wednesday’s show is any hint, the constant isolation and staying at home may be turning him into a far-left conspiracy theorist. Talking to liberal author Sarah Kendzior, Meyers hinted at a dark future for America:

On the late Tuesday/early Wednesday Late Night show on NBC, host Seth Meyers demonstrated that he is so anti-Republican, he devoted an entire commentary to complaining about Democrats who laud former President George W. Bush as they fret over Donald Trump being President in the present. He even made a crude analogy likening praising Bush to praising serial killer Ted Bundy after Jeffrey Dahmer…

On Wednesday, the network morning shows gushed over a new fawning Netflix documentary about former First Lady Michelle Obama’s 2018 book tour promoting her memoir, Becoming. The film had only been released on the streaming service for a matter of hours when ABC, NBC, and CBS journalists began urging viewers to go watch the sycophantic biopic.

Almost two weeks ago, the liberal media pounced on claims from a former HHS official who claimed, without evidence, that he was fired for not pushing hydroxychloroquine. Well, that official was back in the news Tuesday because he filed a whistleblower complaint. But this time, Dr. Rick Bright added on new claims he didn’t tell the press about before now. CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News…

During a softball interview with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday, NBC’s 3rd Hour Today show co-host Craig Melvin urged the Democrat to arrest protesters objecting to her strict coronavirus stay-at-home order in the state. He even compared the peaceful demonstrators to violent rioters in Ferguson, Missouri after the Michael Brown shooting in 2014.

NBC, the network that employed accused sexual harasser Matt Lauer for decades and buried the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal, has another problem. According to a former producer at the network, NBC is being investigated for sexual harassment by the New York Attorney General. Investigative journalist Rich McHugh appeared on Monday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight and confirmed the story: “That is…

Andrew Lack, the chairman of NBC News and MSNBC for the last five years, is suddenly, immediately out of a job after a reorganization. Lack, 72, was expected to retire after the 2020 election. In Monday night’s “Reliable Sources” newsletter, CNN TV writer Brian Lowry singled out Lack’s biggest disaster. It wasn’t spiking the Harvey Weinstein story, or giving free rein to Matt Lauer’s sexual…
