On Sunday’s edition of NBC Nightly News, anchor Kate Snow and reporter Maura Barrett marked the first anniversary of the attack on a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin when Darrell Brooks Jr. plowed through the marchers with his SUV killing six and injuring many more. While the resilience of the community was inspiring, NBC refused to mention the racist motives behind the attack.

The crime issue’s potential positive impact on Republican prospects in November is coming into alarmed focus at the New York Times. A prime example: Tuesday’s 1,700-word front-page story by Lisa Lerer and Jonathan Weisman, “G.O.P. Redoubles Efforts to Tie Democrats to High Crime Rates.”
In Pennsylvania, Republicans are attacking John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate candidate, as “…

Two weeks after the smashing electoral recall of San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin, New York Times reporter Shaila Dewan, who covers criminal justice issues, defended the political sustainability of the far-left vision of criminal justice “reform” -- no cash bail, no jail time, and selective enforcement of crime: “Liberal D.A.s Draw Lessons From San Francisco Recall.” The “lesson,”…

The heightened debate over gun violence following the massacre of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, is leaving out one critical element. The debate starts at the wrong end.
Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Thermodynamics states: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
While Newton’s laws were about physics, the concept of…

With The Psaki Show out to pasture until it resurfaces on Peacock, White House press briefings continued on Monday with Psaki’s former deputy and former MoveOn.org and MSNBC activist, Karine Jean-Pierre.
Predictably, the liberal media showered their fellow progressive with syrupy platitudes and questions from the left demanding the federal government crusade against Fox News host…

In the world of CBS' S.W.A.T., red flags of a domestic terrorist include anger over high taxes and gas prices, along with concern about property rights.
On Sunday's episode, 'Quandary,' domestic terrorists attempt to kidnap and kill a fictional governor of California.
The S.W.A.T. officers first learn about the threat of these men after stumbling upon a cache of illegal weapons…

AP should stand for Associated Publicists when they write on Democrat first ladies. Reporter Darlene Superville penned a year-in-review valentine on Monday headlined
Jill Biden: I didn’t expect ‘healing role’ as first lady
This sounds remarkably naive for someone who spent eight years as the Second Lady. At least there was no "Doctor" thrown in, maybe because the "healing"…

What CNN did Thursday morning was a crime—against good journalism.
In a New Day segment discussing the soft-on-crime policies of the new Manhattan DA, CNN focused on the less controversial aspects of his policies, while failing to disclose the truly outrageous ones.
Thus, it was mentioned that DA Alvin Bragg -- who was never quite identified as an elected Democrat -- has…

It was a challenging task but an esteemed panel of NewsBusters editors led by MRC President L.Brent Bozell and MRC’s Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker boiled down all the biased outbursts from lefty hack hosts, anchors, reporters and pundits in 2021 and on December 15 announced The Chris Cuomo Memorial Award for Quote of the Year.
Of course, every year there is…

Wednesday night on his eponymous Fox News Channel show, host Tucker Carlson and former Congressman Sean Duffy (R-WI) lambasted the liberal media and their allies in elected office for having moved on from the deadly November 15 attack on the Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade as the facts of the case run conflict with the left’s narratives about America.
Put simply, as both…

It has now been 22 days since a bigoted, anti-Semitic criminal drove his SUV into a Wisconsin, parade, murdering six. Yet, not long after the Waukesha slaughter, the networks stopped mentioning the name of alleged killer Darrell Brooks. By December 7, ABC, CBS, and NBC had completely abandoned the story altogether.
Brooks shared online memes stating that “Hitler was right.” He also…

Since the Waukesha attacker didn’t fit the liberal media’s narrative that “[t]here's nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man,” the broadcast networks couldn’t move on from the attack fast enough. But Fox News Digital refused to take an eye off the attack that killed six and injured dozens of others and managed to get an exclusive interview with Darrell Brooks, the…

There was a lot for the leftist journalists to be upset about this month. First they saw a key bellwether race in Virginia blow up in their faces.
Then they saw their man President Joe Biden’s ratings take a nosedive, even as they lamely attempted to sell his policies and try to tell their audiences that inflation wasn’t that bad.
There was also the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict.…

If Darrell Brooks were a white man who drove a car into a crowd of black people, the media would still be talking about Waukesha.
The name Darrell Brooks hasn’t been uttered a single time on CNN since last Thursday, November 25. Today marked the first time anyone on MSNBC mentioned Brooks by name since last Wednesday, November 24. The scant coverage came in the form of a hasty (34…

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we reflect on the amazing lack of self-awareness demonstrated by CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter as he led off his show Sunday with a commentary suggesting that other news outlets were partisan, and disparaged the president based on "feelings over facts."
Stelter thinks it's counter-factual to blame Biden for anything that's going wrong, from…

The Psaki Show returned Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday with a packed show on the heels of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and a host of new travel restrictions. So, it fell to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy to question Press Secretary Jen Psaki on, among other issues, President Biden’s hypocrisy on Covid travel bans and his latest mask faux pas.

Last week, a 39-year-old black man in Waukesha, Wisconsin, plowed a maroon Ford Escape into a Christmas parade of children and older women. Five people were killed and another 48 were injured. The motive of the suspect is unknown; if the media have their way, it will remain that way. The media apparently only care about why suspects commit violent acts when motives can be credited to their…

On Sunday, Townhall’s Rebecca Downs reported on CNN sending off a “problematic tweet” about the deadly attack on a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. She quoted the media outlet’s tone-deaf social media post: “‘Waukesha will hold a moment of silence today, marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others,’ the tweet…

Career criminal Darrell Brooks sped through the barricades of a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six and injuring dozens, and the New York Times on Saturday engaged in damage control for the left-wing “bail reform” movement nationwide.
“Waukesha Suspect’s Previous Release Agitates Efforts to Overhaul Bail,” by Glenn Thrush and Shaila Dewan, offered up plenty of excuses…

On Wednesday's New Day, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig actually called for tougher responses to crime in the wake of the tragedy in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where a man intentionally drove an SUV into a parade. Six people have died from their injuries so far. The perpetrator, Darrell Brooks, is in custody but had previously been out on $1000 bail for allegedly running over the mother of his child…
