Donald Trump

NewsBusters analysts reviewed PolitiFact articles from January to May 2025 that evaluated a named politician or public official with a “Truth-O-Meter” ruling, and their tilted version of the "truth" shows that PolitiFact is not nonpartisan. Republicans were tagged as "Mostly False" or worse more than 85 percent of the time, while Democrats landed on the False side only 39 percent of the time…

The legacy media generally love to report on perceived palace intrigue and betrayal, unless the intrigue happens within a Democrat White House. Then, it’s all quiet on the Leftern Front. NBC’s reporting on the new book by former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is the exception.

Former ESPN and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann opened his Countdown podcast Tuesday with a segment which could only be described as the ravings of a lunatic. The topic of his ten-minute tirade:  “the blood of Boulder, Colorado, is on the hands of Donald Trump.” If that relatively unsupported claim didn’t seem extreme enough, Olbermann doubled down, describing Trump’s “ethnic cleansing” policy,…

On CNN This Morning, former Obama DHS official Juliette Kayyem suggests that Trump administration reductions in funding to the DOJ and to NGOs who supposedly work on preventing and reporting hate crimes contribute to attacks like the antisemitic flamethrower attack in Boulder, Colorado.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel claimed on Tuesday to uncover the true reason for President Donald Trump’s fight with Harvard: Harvard rejecting him back when he was a student. The only problem for Kimmel was his source was disgraced author Michael Wolff.

The legacy media largely omitted a major national security story with immigration implications: the thwarted smuggling of a “potential agroterrorism weapon” by Chinese nationals. The implications are staggering, and the omission is inexcusable.

During Tuesday afternoon’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took the liberal media to task from start to finish on everything from the anti-Semitic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado to fighting fentanyl to Gaza to the National Weather Service. And, in between those, she faced plenty of good faith questions…and others not so much.

If an insurrection dropped in a tony San Diego neighborhood and no legacy media covered it, did it really happen? With the exception of NBC Nightly News, this seems to be the working assumption among the legacy media evening newscasts.

After a slow start, the legacy media eventually came around to covering the Boulder firebombing for what it was: an antisemitic terror attack in furtherance of Hamas’s goals. However, CBS News found a novel way to slink towards the gutter: by lamenting the hypothetical fate of the fire bomber under Trump immigration policies.

Somehow, CBS had come to the conclusion that they deserved credit for the end of Elon Musk’s time with DOGE. On CBS News Sunday Morning, the complete interview between David Pogue and Elon Musk was finally aired; having generated much media attention from a clip CBS circulated days prior, in which Musk expressed his criticism of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, and supposedly led…

If you come at a career business savant like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, you better not miss. CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan hilariously had to learn that the hard way yesterday.

On Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend that he co-hosts, Jonathan Capehart expresses concerns about Trump's "mental acuity" and "mental impairment." George Conway of the disgraced Lincoln Project mocks Trump with a faux-sympathetic voice.

President Trump’s moves against Harvard University for discrimination have spread horror among the liberal elite, including those on publicly funded television. Christiane Amanpour, host of Amanpour & Co.., talked to Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, coauthor of How Democracies Die. (Hint: He’s talking about Trump.) A full 21 minutes of the Friday show was devoted to…

With President Donald Trump back in The White House, the legacy media have rekindled their interest in stories on presidential corruption- refreshed after ignoring the cornucopia of corrupt acts attributable to the past occupant of The White House. The latest instance: ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos.
