Today we present the WORST OF 2023: The Craziest Analysis Award. 

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 2023 and declared a winner.

From warning that Donald Trump will execute his political opponents to acting as PR flacks for Hamas, the following are the worst outbursts from leftist journalists and celebrities from the month of November. 

Former CNN media reporter Brian Stelter has been on a tour promoting his exciting new book about Fox News, but it looks like his efforts have been in vain. With just 3,807 copies sold in the first week, it’s safe to call this one a flop.

In January 2023, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert Hur, a former Justice Department official, to conduct an inquiry into President Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents. Despite the high-profile nature of the case, Hur’s investigation has gone almost entirely unnoticed by broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC, who have spent less than five minutes on the matter…

The following are eight new developments in the Biden family corruption scandal, over the past two months, the networks have censored.

The American news media have been catching a lot of flack for uncritically quoting Hamas as a source for much of their on-the-ground coverage in Gaza.

ABC, CBS, NBC actually covered, on their Wednesday evening news programs, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s subpoenas of Hunter and James Biden. However, they spent only 100 seconds total on it.

The only network (ABC,CBS,NBC) mention of the David Weiss testimony came in a 59-second brief aired on the November 7 edition of NBC Nightly News. None of the network morning shows (ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, NBC’s Today/NBC’s Today 3rd Hour) on Wednesday mentioned Weiss’ appearance before Congress. However, all three of the morning…

CNN and MSNBC, having assessed that the transgender Nashville shooter’s manifesto contains too much anti-white racism to spin away, are refusing to give even a second of airtime to the leaked excerpts.

With the the third Republican presidential debate set for Wednesday, the Big Three broadcast networks have abandoned their coverage of former President Donald Trump’s Republican presidential challengers. Instead, their evening newscasts have assumed the challenger role themselves, pounding the frontrunner with overwhelmingly (93%) negative coverage.

On October 7 the world witnessed a horrific attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists. Yet shockingly and disgustingly there were some in the journalism community who actually sympathized with Hamas. Well those leftists are still at it, as they passed along Hamas propaganda as factual and called any opposition to a ceasefire racist. The following are just some of the worst outbursts from leftists…

NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt and Meet the Press host Kristen Welker are set to moderate (along with talk show host Hugh Hewitt) the third Republican primary debate on November 8 and, as NewsBusters warned before the NBC moderators were chosen, GOP voters should expect hostile questions that push a left-wing agenda and are hostile to conservatives and their policy…
