Media Reality Check

Don Lemon will be starting his totally-not-a-demotion stint on CNN’s revamped morning show CNN This Morning this morning. So we at NewsBusters thought it would be nice to take a stroll down memory lane and look back at Lemon’s heinous remarks that the network would prefer were memory-holed. The following is an extended but by no means complete list of Lemon’s most obnoxious and…

A new MRC study of midterm election coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts finds Republicans are being walloped with 87% negative coverage while the networks' agenda for these stories — GOP candidate controversies, abortion rights and the danger of “election deniers” — perfectly match the topmost items in Democrats’ campaign playbook.

The following are just a few of the most outrageous examples of the liberal media trying to scare their viewers into voting for leftist candidates, lest the GOP put a nail in the coffin into democracy.

A new Media Research Center study finds that evening news viewers in August and September heard 13 times more critical statements about those Republican governors for their handling of a relative handful of migrants than of President Biden and his administration for their failure to keep the border secure in the first place.

Joe Biden uncorked two more brazen lies this week and the network newscasts ignored both of them. On Wednesday, the President insisted his son “lost his life” in Iraq. (Beau Biden served in Iraq, but died of brain cancer in Maryland.) On Tuesday, Biden repeated the claim that his house previously burned down in a massive blaze and that fire fighters were almost killed. (This is untrue.) 

Friday will mark two years since The New York Post broke the Hunter Biden laptop story and it’s been two full years of the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks doing all they can to avoid telling their audiences about the stunning…

Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski dropped bombshell after bombshell for a full hour on Tuesday’s edition of Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Tonight and not one second of it aired on any of the ABC, CBS or NBC morning shows on Wednesday. 

The media-backed October surprise is finally here. In the 24 hours since the liberal Daily Beast posted an accusation that Georgia Republican senatorial candidate Herschel Walker paid for an abortion in 2009, the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening newscasts devoted almost 21 minutes to hyping the allegations. 

As an epidemic of crime ravages cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the networks are hiding the people making the situation much worse: Big city district attorneys who refuse to prosecute crime, partisans who are all backed by extreme leftist billionaire George Soros.  The ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening shows are barely mentioning the men and women who put…

When GOP governors — whose states have been overwhelmed by illegal immigration — began sending immigrants to so-called “sanctuary” cities and states (run by liberals) the media screeched along with hypocritical Democrats as they accused them of “human trafficking” as they damned the GOP as the “party of inhumanity.” The following are just some of the most outrageous outbursts from lefty…

On Friday it was announced that Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, on Comedy Central would be leaving the role after seven years of promoting left-wing causes and Democratic politicians. From cheerleading for abortion to Apartheid South Africa comparisons and everything in-between, here is a rundown of some of the worst of Trevor Noah.

A devastating drug crisis is sweeping across the open southern border and wreaking havoc across the country. But while the network newscasts are covering the fentanyl epidemic, there has been almost no mention of culpability for Joe Biden, the man in charge of the immigration policy leading to the crisis. MRC analysts reviewed every fentanyl story on the network morning and evening newscasts…

To mark tonight’s 35th Anniversary MRC Gala we’ve put together the 35 most obnoxious quotes of the MRC’s history. It’s a pretty offensive display of smug disdain for everyday conservatives, rabid hatred for conservative leaders, embarrassing sycophancy for liberals, and a little anti-American treason thrown in for good measure.

The following is a look at how the broadcast evening news shows (ABC’s World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News) have covered or, more accurately, BURIED Harris’s most recent embarrassing moments.
