NB Podcast

All the panic and the tumult and the flop sweat is becoming public. More and more polls make it plausible that Donald Trump could actually beat Joe Biden in 2024 and serve a second term. NBC's new poll of more than 1,000 voters is just the latest. 

On Wednesday night, a mob of about 150 pro-Hamas protesters -- "ceasefire advocates" -- blocked the entrances and exits at the Democratic National Committee HQ in DC. Then it got violent, with six police officers and about 90 protesters saying they were injured. The networks and The Washington Post hated this story, and tried to suppress it, and act "fair and balanced," unlike January…

Everyone from PBS to Rachel Maddow on CBS is freaking out over Donald Trump promising to root out the “vermin” from the radical left. But they can’t find outrage in leftists deriding “MAGAts,” or when leftists described Republicans as a “crazed swarm of right-wing locusts.”

Whether it's elected Democrats (Jim Clyburn) or media Democrats (Jonathan Martin), it's considered "imperative" to ward off dangerous third-party campaigns for president. Anyone not voting for Biden is electing Trump. You have to vote for him even if he "simply does not have the capacity" to campaign!

What do we do at NewsBusters when the GOP debate moderators skip the gotcha questions? The NBC debate was fine. We predicted it might be like John Harwood's CNBC snark festival in 2015, but it wasn't anything like that. Nick Fondacaro and RedState's Brad Slager joined the show (in different segments) to analyze the debate and the spinning in the aftermath. Plus: a CNN photographer is…

Emily Jashinsky, director of the National Journalism Center and Culture Editor of The Federalist, discusses the new Dao Prize for journalism and the Pulitzer Prizes awarding top liberal causes, as well as the sad slippage of the GOP presidential debates into the grip of the so-called "mainstream" moderators and their anti-Republican tilt.

One standout segment from Sunday was ABC host George Stephanopoulos just pressing and pressing Rep. Steve Scalise demanding he say the 2020 election wasn't stolen. And he wouldn't accept "Biden's the president" as a satisfactory answer. I'd say "did you try asking Hillary this question?" He doesn't press Democrats on their election denial, even Stacey Abrams.

USA Today published a ridiculous column by Hunter Biden claiming Republicans were somehow demonizing all addicts with their investigations of his business dealings with Dad. Plus Adam Kinzinger smears Republicans as ISIS, the Taliban, and a "terrorist caucus" taking "hostages." No "fact checkers" moved a mental muscle.

Two recent NewsBusters studies identify patterns of liberal political communication. In the first 3 weeks after the writers strike ended, late-night comedy shows exploded with anti-Trump jokes. Over the last year, MSNBC has been especially egregious in making Nazi analogies about Trump and Republicans. Overall, conservatives using Nazi analogies are condemned, while liberals using them are…

Despite Hamas falsely accusing Israel of bombing a hospital in Gaza, media outlets like the AP are still reporting "Gaza Health Ministry" body counts, most recently claiming the death toll among Palestinians passed 8,000 -- "mostly women and minors." They're not looking for any "hallmarks of disinformation" for them.

The P in PBS doesn't really stand for "Public." The PBS NewsHour hates the Republican half of the public, and finds it easy to put on guests that compare today's Trump Republicans with Hitler and the mass-murdering Nazis. And yet they support using body counts from Hamas....

After House Republicans agreed on Mike Johnson as a Speaker nominee, ABC reporter Rachel Scott started asking typical "election denier" questions, and drew boos and a "shut up" from Republicans. Reporters were outraged...even though they were 2016 election deniers. 

As part of our research into George Soros, Joseph Vazquez discovered he funded a pro-Hamas group named Al-Shabaqa and wrote a 2007 op-ed titled "America and Israel Must Open the Door to Hamas." So why is it antisemitic to criticize this man?

President Biden is warning that after 9/11, America responded with "blind rage." But a look at our archives shows moral equivalence and loathing of patriotism in our media came quickly after 9/11. Bill Maher, Geraldo Rivera, Phil Donahue...it was a lineup of fools.
