The media didn’t even wait for the first quarter of President Donald Trump’s second term to blame him for GDP events that transpired before he was even elected to office.

The revelation that The New York Times and Politico received millions collectively in taxpayer dollars from a slew of US government agencies sparked public outrage. But a new investigation by MRC Business will make the scandal of government-funded media even worse.

Never-Trump propaganda mill The Dispatch tried to scold critics enraged over the millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on Politico subscriptions, and ended up looking completely ridiculous in the process.

In an ideal world, words have meaning. But if you’re CNN and others who are just mindlessly gnashing their teeth at President Donald Trump for leaving the Paris Climate Agreement, words and facts fly straight out the window because, muh, rage!  The agreement is NOT a “treaty,” regardless of whatever the dense climate dweebs at the UN choose to call it.

After murmurs lasting well over a year, CNN CEO Mark Thompson pulled the trigger Tuesday on his plan to supposed reinvigorate the annoyingly smug, dying, and far-left network (aside from greats Scott Jennings and David Urban) by charging frequent fliers of CNN.com — which in of itself is comical — a rate of $3.99 a month. CNN and Thompson believe this will ensure the network’s survival, but…

The leftist extremism of ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC (and its cable affiliate MSNBC) is well-documented. However, what rarely gets mentioned is that the woke reporting emanating from these networks aligns with that of the leftist ESG asset manager giants that own the biggest portion of their stock.

Kamala Harris is treating reporters like a of troop of Typhoid Marys. Hello and welcome to the NewsBusters Podcast. Settle in. I’m Tim Graham. The Republicans, especially J.D. Vance are making a campaign issue of how Harris has been avoiding the press since July 21, when President Biden announced he was forced out of the race. So far, it’s another basement campaign, and why not?

Politico and Bloomberg Opinion have just been exposed engaging in grotesque journalistic malfeasance just to suck up to the Biden-Harris White House.

In a gross violation of journalistic ethics, a CNN journalist gave the Biden administration a sneak peek of her article looking for the government stamp of approval before publishing.

Exclusive to NewsBusters, by Cal Thomas. The Washington Post, the dominant but least credible newspaper in Washington, D.C., lost $77 million in 2023. No other business operates like the journalistic establishment. TV ratings are down. Newspaper losses are up. Public trust in the media is at an all-time low as reflected in Gallup and other polls.

Nine years ago this week, ABC News was roiled by a journalistic scandal: Their top political anchor had refused to disclose his big dollar contributions to the Clinton Foundation at the same time he used ABC’s airwaves in an attempt to discredit an anti-Clinton author, an obvious favor to the just-launched Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign.
