NB Podcast

No one gets censored on social media for describing all conservatives as a “hate group,” as one TikTok user maligned us as a “dominant group of dangerous bigots.” Tierin-Rose Mandelburg of “Woke of the Weak” describes the latest disturbing turns in the “Qweer” corners of culture.

Journalists like ABC's George Stephanopoulos and NBC's Dasha Burns get belligerent when Republican presidential candidates carefully talk about Donald Trump without the harsh "Liz Cheney tones." They get accused of failing to answer the question when interviewers just don't like the answer.

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I look at the media’s obsession with former President Trump getting arraigned on Thursday. As they flood the zone with coverage, they also fill the airwaves with flaming hot takes proclaiming their anticipation of Trump behind bars or even exiled. We had a lot to cram in today.

Subbing for boss Tim Graham, Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and dove right in Wednesday with reaction to the unprecedented third Trump indictment, including the astounding totals of coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC. Spoiler alert: This has given the networks the perfect excuse to wave goodbye to any and all Biden scandals for an indefinite period of time.

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, I host with senior research analyst Bill D’Agostino by my side. Listen as was rip apart NBC’s praise for a garbage “study” that claims conservatives consume more fake news and misinformation (as labeled by so-called “fact-checkers”) than liberals. We also examine and call out the liberal media’s scant coverage of President Biden finally acknowledging…

The New York Times and The Washington Post really demonstrated a double standard this month on confrontational White House reporters. CNN's screaming Jim Acosta was a heroic screamer in the briefing room, while screaming African reporter Simon Ateba should sit down and shut up.

The network Sunday shows largely skipped talk about the House hearings into the Biden scandals, but they were very excited to tout Kamala Harris slamming Ron DeSantis and the Florida experts writing a black history curriculum for schools. 

It was a week of big GOP hearings, so it was a week of media "professionals" trying to avoid them. Dan Schneider of Free Speech America discusses the House Weaponization Subcommittee hearing on Big Tech and the House Oversight hearing with the IRS whistleblowers on the Bidens.

CNN loves special counsel Jack Smith so much they filmed and celebrated his lunch trip to Subway, which they invested with great meaning. "Turns out even Jack Smith can't resist a $5 footlong," gushed Dana Bash. She insisted the "imagery" was an important rebuttal to Trump. John King claimed it sent an anti-bullying message, Smith saying "I'm not going anywhere" with his sandwich.

The Secret Service concluded on Thursday that they couldn’t locate a suspect for this baggy of illegal white powder -- it was cocaine, an illegal drug. This is a story of incompetence, that needs some accountability. But ABC and NPR couldn't bother to care, and PBS did a bland 20 seconds.

In his latest piece for The Messenger, Fox News contributor Joe Concha discussed how Biden scandals are getting the "silent treatment" with all the bias by omission...like the years of avoiding Navy Joan Roberts, the president's seventh grandchild through Hunter Biden.

"News" anchors like Chuck Todd still hate any investigative stories on Hunter Biden. They wish the whole subject were off limits. It's all "Republicans pounce" and no "media hold accountable." Todd denounced the subject as "really kinda ugly," and his NBC colleague Garrett Haake called it a "tacky play."

A new MRC study found White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre was asked 252 scandal questions over the last six months, and offered a substantive response on only six occasions. MRC's Bill D'Agostino performed the study, and discusses the findings and how they contradict Biden's promises to "bring transparency and truth back to government."

North Dakota Gov. and GOP presidential candidate Doug Burgum took his campaign to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports on Thursday where he ever so politely informed the eponymous host that he isn’t an extremist on abortion and that her framing of “LGBTQ issues” is all wrong, including how she portrayed the Supreme Court standing up for religious liberty.
