Kevin McCarthy

CBS Saturday Morning and NBC’s Today put their thumb on the scales for Democrats as the White House and House Republicans seek to negotiate a deal to raise the nation’s debt limit. When it came to the GOP demand to add some work requirements for certain welfare programs, both networks would provide Democratic statements denouncing the idea with no corresponding Republican statement.…

Given their government funding, citizens should expect public broadcasting’s news coverage to be scrupulously neutral, yet an exhaustive Media Research Center study of PBS NewsHour found coverage of the first four months of the new Congress has been heavily slanted against Republicans.

Being a frequent NewsBusters reader and/or a trip to our taxonomy term for ABC chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce would give one the impression that Bruce is little more than a doormat for the Biden administration and loyally delivering the day’s preferred spin. Such was the case on Tuesday’s Good Morning America as she enthusiastically spun for President Biden on the border…

The very term “debt limit” makes a mockery of any kind of responsible budgeting. Each time the government reaches the “limit” it gets raised with the familiar scenarios that include threats of a government shutdown (an idea that increasingly appeals to some conservatives) and the claim that the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. is at stake. We have faith and credit? Who knew?

On the top right of the Monday Washington Post came this glaring headline about "Far-right bloc is flexing muscle: Freedom Caucus pledges fiscal war." In the story, the reporters used the term "far-right" ten times to describe House Republicans. As they acknowledge, that neatly matches Biden's campaign rhetoric about "MAGA extremists."

Prior to the weekend, more Hunter Biden headlines, and Monday’s media tsunami regarding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon, there was Friday’s White House press briefing and it began with a rant from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ghoulishly claiming House Republicans want to “fill our cities with smog,” “give asthma to our children,” and allow oil companies to use chemicals that…

On Friday’s CBS Mornings, there were numerous rhetorical finger-wags at Republicans for the crime of denouncing far-left, Soros-backed Manhattan DA’s indictment of former President Trump concerning the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels with one implication being they’re poor caretakers of our democracy and “adding fuel” to potential violence.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on CNBC Tuesday that the Trump administration was right to give Chinese-owned TikTok an ultimatum: sell to an American company or be banned.

Multiple congressmen from both parties are calling to target or ban TikTok after the popular app’s CEO Shou Zi Chew testified to Congress.

At one time, the "news media" tried to give us something like just-the-facts journalism. But today they give us a liberal narrative and expect us to accept it as "news." Anything less than the liberal narrative is "misleading" or "false."

Jan. 6 was, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer explained that the riot of Jan. 6 was a "violent insurrection." And in order to preserve democracy, Schumer stated, Fox News should take Tucker Carlson off the air. What, pray tell, did Carlson do that merited the Senate Majority…

On MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, guest host and daughter of corrupt New Jersey Democrat Senator Robert Menendez, Alicia Menendez seemed shocked that forty percent of voters on a recent Gallup poll want immigration decreased, yet Menendez and her guest Victoria DeFrancesco of the Clinton School of Public Service dismissed Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s visit to the U.S. Mexico border as “political…

Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom did not directly say that President Biden lied during his State of the Union address when he claimed that Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare, but they strongly implied it wasn’t true. Still, the Republican reaction to that claim garnered more condemnation from the assorted cast than the claim itself with co-host Jim Sciutto go so far as to…

In the immediate aftermath of President Joe Biden’s bitterly partisan and divisive State of the Union address, MSNBC host Alex Wagner went after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for not showing enough allegiance to the left’s latest obsessions like the war in Ukraine and “democracy” at home and abroad. Wagner was outraged that McCarthy didn’t stand up when he clapped for Biden’s applause lines and…
