NewsBusters Podcast

ABC and CBS almost completely refuse to identify Trump's elected Democrat prosecutors -- Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fani Willis -- as Democrats, and certainly not Democrats elected on a promise to get Trump. NBC dabbles with the D. Rich Noyes explains his latest study numbers and projects it into this election year.

As pro-Biden media outlets argue that Donald Trump's criticism of his legal adversaries is endangering lives, Hillary Clinton claimed on a podcast that Trump would like to "kill his opposition," and the media find that's not dangerously suggestive. Democrats tweeting "Die MAGA Die" shouldn't be questioned.

The Manhattan trial of Donald Trump on "hush money" charges drew hundreds of minutes of TV obsession. Meanwhile, the impeachment of Homeland Security Mayorkas was briefly covered and derided as a partisan stunt. Curtis Houck has the details and clips.

After stirring up a hornet's nest at NPR about a leftist tilt, senior editor Uri Berliner resigned Wednesday, but that doesn't mean NPR types can refute his argument on their insularity and intolerance. New CEO Katherine Maher insulted Berliner as attacking staffers for "who they are," and as it turns out, at Wikipedia she refused to tolerate "misinformation" on COVID before they knew much about it.

On his Real Time show on HBO, Bill Maher bluntly agreed that abortion is murder, and he favors it, since there are eight million people on Earth already. Journalists and comedians scream "False" when people tell the truth about Democrats favoring abortion until birth. And NPR's new CEO sends a love note to staff without engaging with an insider's account of leftist bias.

NewsBusters can tell you National Public Radio has demonstrated a leftist bent from the beginning. Nina Totenberg destroyed the Douglas Ginsburg nomination to the Supreme Court, then tried again with Clarence Thomas. This animus against conservatives didn't kick in when Donald Trump ran for president.

While USA Today fact-checking boss Eric Litke says fact-checkers should be "obsessed with fairness," our latest NewsBusters study of PolitiFact demonstrates a significant partisan aggression against Republican politicians.

As the media bring their leftist lens to the "culture wars" and religion in politics, they're prone to simplifying everything and only covering religion when it intrudes on the new orthodoxy of wokeness. Terry Mattingly operated the site GetReligion for 20 years, and he explains how he assesses the media's handling of religion stories.

CNN is perennially offended at the thought that Donald Trump is still politically viable despite all its dirty work for Democrats. On his radio show this week, Mark Levin hammered Dana Bash for "fact checking" RFK Jr and tackled Tapper's pleading for Democrats to pander harder to pro-Hamas voters. 

Once again in 2024, journalists need to justify treating Trump as a deadly bubonic plague, an impending Hitler. Treating him as one side of an election is dangerous when he is the End of Democracy. Then they claim they only have a bias in favor of Truth. Yes, they're totally not favoring the Democrats with this foam-flecked coverage.

The hot item of the Easter weekend on conservative social media was President Biden's "compassionate" embrace of Transgender Day of Visibility when it coincided with Easter. Biden chose his woke-left voters over church-going Christian voters. The media rushed to Biden's defense.

 The Democratic Party turns out to be a pretty funny name, because they’re really interested this year in keeping everyone else off the ballot. Third-party "spoilers" like RFK Jr. must be treated by the media as a "threat" to democracy, since democracy and the Democrats are treated as synonymous. 

Last August, PBS announced it was entering a partnership with the leftist magazine The Atlantic to rebrand its Friday night journalist roundtable show Washington Week. We've studied six months of this merger, and it's no surprise that it's dramatically anti-Trump and anti-Republican. Our PBS analyst Clay Waters shares his findings.

From NBC's 'Meet the Press' to MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' the liberal bubble is in a furious revolt against ex-RNC boss Ronna McDaniel joining their team as a commentator. They want her fired before she begins. But they're all for ideological diversity....yeah, right.

Christine Blasey Ford provided what they call “no evidence” to back up her 2018 claim that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her when they were teens. Kavanaugh fiercely denied the charge. But CBS and ABC and NPR have provided sappy publicity for her new book – which provides no new evidence of her story.

A new study by Free Speech America found that Google was guilty of election interference on 41 occasions from 2008 to today. FSA chief Dan Schneider explains all their findings.

Democrats claimed that when special counsel Robert Hur decided not to prosecute the president, he was therefore "exonerated." But when Robert Mueller declined to prosecute Donald Trump in Russiagate, they all insisted he was "NOT exonerated!" Bill D'Agostino shares his video compilations on this and on terms used to identify the killer of Laken Riley.

With the general election set, CNN analyst David Frum suggested Donald Trump's re-election is a catastrophe, like a giant comet striking the Earth. CNN host Kasie Hunt said "Very interesting analogy." These addled hot takes come from the folks who warn us of "misinformation."
