PBS News Hour guest and anti-Trump activist Miles Taylor of “Anonymous” media fame whined about President Trump’s top adviser calling the Democratic Party a domestic extremist organization in an August 27, 2025 segment: “That’s really, really scary language.” So it’s fascinating how often PBS itself uses similar “really scary” hostile labeling habits against conservatives but almost…

In an update to a study we first brought to you on Friday afternoon, ABC and NBC have only spent a combined 17 minutes and 16 seconds through Monday morning on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday political talk shows covering the latest out of the Somali community in Minneapolis, but only 21 percent (or three minutes and 35 seconds) of that was spent on the rampant welfare…

According to a November 25 McLaughlin & Associates national poll of 1,000 likely voters conducted for the Media Research Center, less than a quarter of respondents correctly described Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, as left-wing.

Since a July 7 Justice Department memo declared an “exhaustive review” of the Jeffrey Epstein case found he died by suicide and there was no evidence of a “client list,” ABC, CBS, and NBC have treated the so-called “Epstein Files” as the new Russiagate, submerging President Trump with a stunning 821 minutes of coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC.

NewsBusters analysts reviewed PolitiFact articles from June to October 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 84 percent of the time, while Democrats landed on the False side only 19 percent of the time…

Big Tech just got busted burying the scandals dogging Democrat candidates in the 2025 elections.  

For the past month the big three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have hammered both Congressional Republicans and President Trump with a wall of negative shutdown coverage, while largely shielding Democrats from blame for the now-record gridlock.

Election Day is almost here, and there are three high-profile races involving Democratic candidates who have made shocking statements in their past, but if you get your news from ABC, CBS, NBC, or PBS, you have heard very little to nothing about them. 

In the Trump Era, the late night comedy shows have been looking for any glimmer of light they can find, and they think they have found it in New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. As the industry puts itself squarely in the middle of Mamdani Mania, it has done its part for the campaign by telling 95 percent of its mayoral election jokes about his rivals.

Back in 2023, CNN’s Kaitlin Collins spent the entirety of a televised town hall contradicting and interrupting her guest, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. By contrast, when Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders joined Collins for a town hall on Wednesday night, she repeatedly permitted her guests to launch into talking point-laden stump speeches with no…

With all the media banter surrounding the ongoing government shutdown, ABC, CBS and PBS NewsHour seem to have conveniently forgotten that the national debt was even a major issue in this whole mess. Perhaps by emphasizing the multitrillion-dollar debt at all, the networks would be putting the Democrats in the hot seat for continuing to drag their feet on the negotiations.

On the April 16 PBS News Hour, as federal funding for both PBS and NPR was coming under heavy fire, co-PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz boasted that on her program, “we regularly invite and host conservative and Republican voices.” But is that true? Two new Media Research Center studies tracked and labeled every guest who appeared on the PBS News Hour and NPR’s…

ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS mostly censor Democrat Jay Jones text controversy.

Season 51 of NBC’s Saturday Night Live is set to premiere on October 4, but before that a new NewsBusters study looked back and found that 82 percent of Season 50’s Weekend Update jokes targeted conservatives and that 60 percent of its cold open political characters were conservatives or Republicans.
