Has the day of media reckoning for the infamous Trump dossier finally dawned? Bill Grueskin, a former academic dean at Columbia Journalism School, raised eyebrows with his opinion piece in the Tuesday edition of the New York Times: “How Did So Much of the Media Get the Steele Dossier So Wrong?” BuzzFeed News editor Ben Smith, the person responsible for injecting the dubious dossier…

New York Times economist Paul Krugman appears to have finally admitted defeat on the issue of inflation, adding another notch to his belt of being consistently wrong on economic issues.

Yeah, that's the problem: the MSM has gone too easy on Kyle Rittenhouse! Incredibly, Brittany Packnett Cunningham claimed exactly that this morning on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show, where's Cunningham's a frequent guest. Of all outlets, Cunningham amazingly singled out the New York Times as taking it too easy on Rittenhouse. Yeah, that dastardly, conservative-controlled, Gray Lady!

On Friday afternoon, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell displayed a classic example of journalists reacting negatively to a development that goes in favor of conservatives as a "setback" or an action that "doesn't bode well," sympathizing with the liberal point of view.

Left-wing billionaire George Soros is reportedly backing a new leftist news outlet that openly advocates on behalf of labor unions.

New York Times senior economics correspondent Neil Irwin twisted himself into a pretzel to protect the failing Biden administration's economic agenda again — this time suggesting American furor over the poor state of the economy is more about perception than reality. 

The United Nations “climate summit” in Glasgow, known as COP26, continued to draw promotional coverage in the New York Times. Saturday’s story focused on the youth movement: “Unmoved by Climate Promises, Activists Hit Glasgow’s Streets.” Reporters Megan Specia and Stephen Castle committed 1,400 words to the Times’ latest climate change children’s crusade, again with no…

In the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we explore how pompous liberal journalists can get when they imagine that they alone are the ones who represent and protect democracy in America. They paint their own persistently traumatic take on the Trump administration as a heroic journey defending the "truth," if not the American way. 

New York Times feature writer Elizabeth Williamson paired neo-Nazis who protested in Charlottesville with Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a 1,500-word profile of "renowned Holocaust scholar" Deborah Lipstadt. She was the “expert” in the headline “How America Got to Charlottesville: An Expert Draws a Map.” 

The terrible election results for Democrats are going to lead to some terrible conclusions. One might be the assumption that these bad results reflect a media that’s too hostile to the Democrats. Greg Sargent of The Washington Post tweeted this lame summary from former Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer: “Republicans have a massive communications advantage..."

The New York Times has turned its sights on the middle class by asking President Joe Biden why Americans shouldn’t pay more at the pump to fight climate change.

Participating in a Paley Center discussion of media coverage on Wednesday evening, NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham called out New York Times reporter Patrick Healy for absurdly claiming that his leftist paper catered to “both sides” of the political spectrum. The liberal journalist’s obnoxious response prompted laughter from other conservatives on the panel.

As Democrats ponder their newly vulnerable electoral state, here’s a New York Times headline that’s a neat encapsulation of media bias: “Republicans Pounce on Schools as a Wedge Issue to Unite the Party.” That's the online headline to the front-page Thursday story by Lisa Lerer and Jeremy Peters. It’s two liberal media tropes in one line: the idea of Republicans cynically “pouncing”…

New York Times economist Paul Krugman claimed President Joe Biden has no control over the rise in gas prices. This, of course, comes after Krugman pilloried former President Donald Trump a year earlier for allegedly exercising the same control he said Biden didn’t have.
