SCOTUS Study: Nets Spent 25 Min. Extolling Dem Wins, ZERO for GOP Wins
Over the last two weeks, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued six major rulings that touch on issues ranging from gay rights to religious freedom. And in the midst of those events, the decisions of some of the justices went ways that those invested in the outcomes didn’t expect. But one truth was constant throughout the over two-week period: the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) celebrated…
STUDY: During Trump Rally, CNN, MSNBC Censor 97 Percent of Speech
Will CNN and MSNBC cover Donald Trump’s 2020 rallies in a way that allows the President to simply state his message to the American people? Or will they attempt to hide and censor him? If Saturday’s Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma is any indicator, it seems likely the liberal outlets will choose the latter. While Fox News played all 101 minutes (100 percent) of Trump’s campaign kickoff, CNN…
Column: The Media's Broadcast Brutality Against Trump
The coronavirus pandemic did what some might think was impossible -- make Trump coverage even more negative. Rich Noyes of the Media Research Center found that from March to May, Trump's coverage on the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC was 94 percent negative. In May, it was 99.5 percent negative, an all-time low. This is not journalism. It's badly disguised campaign advertising.
CNN Spent Over 90 Minutes Hyping Now-Retracted Coronavirus Study
When Jeffrey Zucker’s CNN settles on a narrative, they flood the zone with employees singing from the same sheet music seeing as how they have a President to hate. Such was the case on May 22 when CNN shows spent 90 minutes and 54 seconds heralding a now-debunked study that originally claimed taking hydroxychloroquine while battling COVID-19 could be fatal. Over on MSNBC, the total clocked out…
Nets Give Pence Not Wearing Mask 3x More Coverage Than Biden Scandal
The liberal media have shown an aversion to covering Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations against 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. But when it came to Vice President Mike Pence not wearing a mask Tuesday at the Mayo Clinic, the same liberal networks were decided it was a scandal worthy of their attention, giving it three times more airtime in 24 hours compared than they…
STUDY: By 25-to-1, WashPost Headlines Bash Trump Virus Response
In the 100 days since the coronavirus epidemic began to receive significant news coverage, The Washington Post has used its front page to undermine the administration’s response to the unprecedented crisis, with dozens of headlines flagrantly editorializing against the President and nearly everyone on his team.
Impeachment Gets 77x More TV Time than Economic Successes
According to a new Media Research Center study, for each minute the broadcast evening newscasts spent talking about the President’s successful economic programs, viewers heard 77 minutes about the Democrats’ impeachment push, a massive disparity.

CNN Carried ONLY 33% of IG Hearing, But 99% of Impeachment Debate
On Wednesday night, NewsBusters examined the live coverage the top three cable news networks (CNN, FNC, and MSNBC) devoted to the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing featuring Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz and, most notably, far-left, pro-impeachment CNN only covered live 33.4 percent of the hearing. But when it came time for Wednesday’s impeachment hearing, CNN…
ABC, NBC Ignore Pro-Kavanaugh Bombshell; CBS Gives Scant 36 Seconds
While the liberal broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have spent nearly 32 minutes (31 minutes, 47 seconds) hyping the disintegrating bombshell against Justice Brettt Kavanaugh over the past three days, they have withheld from viewers how Christine Blasey Ford friend (and supposed corroborating witness) Leland Keyser now states that she has does not believe Ford’s account.
CNN, MSNBC Spend 233 Minutes Shoveling Flimsy Kavanaugh Attack
Since 9:00 am ET Sunday morning, CNN and MSNBC have spent nearly four hours of airtime peddling dubious new charges of misconduct against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh that allegedly took place when he was in college. The claims were first published by The New York Times late Saturday night.
CNN Spends 181 Minutes Hyping Jim Sciutto’s Dubious CIA Stories
On Monday, CNN chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto aired a questionable story blaming President Trump for the extraction of a longtime CIA asset in Moscow. A Monday night New York Times story cast serious doubts on the reasons Sciutto cited for the 2017 extraction, but CNN has stood by Sciutto. All told, a NewsBusters tally of CNN’s live, on-air coverage found a staggering 181…
CNN, MSNBC Inundate Viewers with 145 Minutes of ‘Sharpiegate’
As Hurricane Dorian continues to wreak havoc across the eastern seaboard, liberal cable anchors are fixated on perhaps the most frivolous piece of the news cycle: President Trump’s poorly-doctored hurricane map. Between 5:00 am and 5:00 pm Eastern time on Wednesday, CNN and MSNBC gave this non-news item a whopping 145 minutes (just under two and a half hours).
NBC/MSNBC’s Two-Night Donation to Democratic Dreams
After two nights, NBC/MSNBC has proved that they deserve the nickname “MSDNC.” The twenty Democrats who made the presidential debate stage were treated to questions that were wildly skewed (69%) to the left, with only a scant 13% challenging the candidates to defend their outside-the-mainstream views, a five-to-one disparity.
CNN, MSNBC Spend 72 Percent of Prime Time FREAKING OUT Over Trump/ABC
President Trump made more headlines Wednesday night after he told ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos that he would be fine with taking “oppo research” on his 2020 opponent from foreign countries. This comment drew criticism. But during their almost two hours and 30 minutes of prime time coverage, or hair-on-fire panic, neither CNN nor MSNBC cared to mention that that’s exactly what the…
