The media are offering wall-to-wall condemnations of President-elect Trump’s choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI. From the NewsBusters’ archives, here’s a quick recap of how the media lost their minds the last time Trump canned one FBI director in favor of another.

Court decisions can sound complicated because they sometimes contain legal language that is difficult for a layperson to understand. That’s not the situation in the case of Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Judge Scott McAfee gave Willis a choice – either dump Wade, with whom she’d had a romantic relationship, as prosecutor in the case…

In the wake of the “Twitter Files,” let’s revisit former President Barack Obama’s warning last April about the spread of misinformation: “You just have to flood a country’s public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe.”

On Wednesday, The New York Times via Washington correspondent Michael Schmidt published a fairly weak article suggesting former President Trump had ordered the IRS to conduct audits of former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Despite the blatant inconstancies and admitting there’s “no evidence,” the liberal media’s ‘it rings true’ barometer carried the day on…

“Dirty tricks” was a term used to describe the behavior of operatives within the Nixon administration to smear the reputations of opponents and undermine the appeal of certain politicians. Fifty years ago, these dirty tricks included a false allegation that Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-WA.) had fathered an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old girl and the break-in at Democratic National…

Since news broke over last weekend that businessman Carter Page is suing the FBI and Justice Department for $75 million over the improper targeting him during the Russia collusion investigation, the liberal media have shown no interest in the story alleging abuse of power against the former Donald Trump campaign economic advisor. By contrast, Fox News Channel have covered the story several…

During Wednesday’s Special Report, Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier predicted that the rest of the media would refuse to cover former FBI Director James Comey getting chewed out and admitting to major problems with his Russia investigation. “I guarantee you it's not getting a lot of coverage on other networks and that is the former FBI Director Jim Comey testifying on Capitol Hill…

In “Night One,” Showtime’s The Comey Rule was a distorted liberal fantasy of lies and made up scenes and the “Night Two” conclusion on Monday wasn’t much different. In the second episode, the biggest target was General Michael Flynn.

In what The Guardian called “the longest and most star-studded attack ad in history,” the Showtime limited series The Comey Rule is full of distortions and liberal fantasies of what they wish had really happened in the FBI investigations into Hillary Clinton’s email server and Donald Trump’s involvement with Russia.

To no one’s surprise, the top morning and evening broadcast network newscasts have yet to utter a word about either of the week’s two major bombshell’s in how the FBI went about its spying of the Trump campaign and Operation Crossfire Hurricane. With one pertaining to text messages from FBI agents and the other about a key Steele dossier source having been investigated as a possible Russian…

After omitting Susan B. Anthony from her Sunday Morning segment on the 100^th anniversary of women’s suffrage, CBS host Margaret Brennan was in a fighting mood later on Face the Nation. Between smearing Republicans as being totally fine with 170,000 COVID deaths and assailing disgraced former FBI Director James Comey on behalf of the Democratic Party, Brennan was…

Unfortunately for the liberal media, it’s become a routine for White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany to shred them for their years of biased reporting and daily shenanigans. On Friday, CBS News Radio’s Steven Portnoy found himself on the receiving end after he wondered what crimes the President thought were committed in “Obamagate.” Like she’s done repeatedly in her short tenure,…
