Liberal journalists snickered that President Trump was off his rocker on Thursday when he accused big banks of rejecting some conservative customers. Yet just a few hours later, the Biden-appointed Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Rohit Chopra suggested there was something to the President’s complaint.

X CEO Elon Musk expressed support for Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale, who fired back at CNBC’s Squawk Box co-anchor Joe Kernen, suggesting that censorship constitutes the “greatest threat to the West.”  

Shark Tank star Mark Cuban mounted an absurd defense of Vice President Kamala Harris on CNBC, claiming against all evidence that Harris was a moderate. 

CNBC anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin took the opportunity to aggressively smear conservatives boycotting woke companies, after listening to an interview where the CEO of Target was pressed on his company’s disastrous year.

Everyone who cannot abide the way that liberal networks attempt to mangle Republican presidential candidates in primary debates is having the same thought: If the Democrats never award a primary debate to Fox News or Newsmax, why on Earth should Republicans subject themselves to CNN or MSNBC or the rest?

Four years ago at this time, Wikileaks tried to turn the Democrat convention with internal Democratic National Committee emails that showed they blatantly favored Hillary Clinton over Sanders. But the media downplayed the juiciest tidbits for conservatives: emails that showed how shamelessly reporters and Democrats work hand in hand to shape the "news."

At CNBC Wednesday morning, just after the release of the government's GDP report, Squawk Box panelist Steve Liesman appeared to do everything he could to downplay the significance, and even the relevance, of the 3.3 percent annualized growth estimate. At the end of the segment, he gave away his ignorance when he expressed outrage that the tax bill currently under consideration in Congress, while…

Wall Street has been brimming with optimism since President Donald Trump’s election, but Main Street’s optimism soared as well. Some say the new GOP health insurance bill may keep that going.CNBC reporter Kate Rogers said that “Main Street’s outlook post-election is still holding at historically high levels according to the National Federation of Independent Business.”

Tuesday on CNBC, Microsoft co-founder and multibillionaire Bill Gates recounted a conversation he had with Donald Trump a couple of weeks ago. He had fairly nice things to say about both the conversation and the potential of the incoming Trump administration. Naturally, neither the Associated Press nor the New York Times found these elements of the CNBC interview to be newsworthy.

Ever since WikiLeaks began releasing once-private messages from Hillary Clinton campaign chief John Podesta, people have had even more hard evidence of the mainstream media’s support for and collusion with Democratic Party operatives and campaigns. One recent example shows CNBC’s Becky Quick -- the co-host of the channel’s popular show Squawk Box and a co-moderator with John Harwood at a 2015…

Cameron Cawthorne at the Washington Free Beacon offered a clear case for the "fact checkers" at PolitiFact and other sites of a Bill Clinton fib on CNBC. He claimed that "we make everything public, we disclose everything" in the land of Clinton philanthropy. This turns out to be Trumpian bluster. Clinton also slammed the political press for having "no previous exposure to the way we work," which…

A Wall Street Journal columnist had strong words for the NY attorney general’s fight against ExxonMobil. “Their whole schtick now is to find enemies, and attack the enemies,” Journal columnist Holman Jenkins said of the climate change movement on Squawk Box Aug. 31.   

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And people who ridicule the level of others' speech patterns should check theirs first. CNBC didn't do that. Instead, on Thursday, as I noted in a previous NewsBusters post, it childishly rushed out a grade-level evaluation of the Republican presidential candidates' speech patterns during the first three debates, including the Wednesday train wreck…

Squawk Box co-host Joe Kernen lit into writers at The Huffington Post Tuesday morning for their poor understanding of basic economics.. While The Huffington Post celebrated a record low in global poverty, it also decried the Trans-Pacific Partnership, proving to CNBC’s Kernen that the site’s staff have no idea what they write about.
