The network news this week did a lot of hiding new details on the Biden family influence-peddling business, while Jen Psaki inspired laugh riots by saying MSNBC has a very high standard with facts uttered on air. Kevin Tober joins the show and we run through Joy Reid's wacky outbursts of the week that would disturb an actual "independent fact-checker."

The "misinformation" police in Big Tech (and its affiliated "fact checkers") have squashed entire story lines in the last three years, from COVID and its origins in Wuhan to Hunter Biden's laptop to the rebuttals of "climate deniers." MRC Free Speech America chief Dan Schneider joins the show to discuss these topics, the "Christchurch Call to Action," and the broader strokes of Western…

Sunday night's Oscars show in Hollywood had some fun with CNN morning host Don Lemon, with Best Actress winner Michelle Yeoh telling women "never let them say you're past your prime." Meanwhile, ex-CNN host was leading a panel at the South by Southwest conference in Texas on how to fix the media that are "amplifying hate." (Let's guess they mean Fox.) 

The Catholic cable network EWTN and Franciscan University are holding a journalism conference on Friday and Saturday in DC. I was invited to bring our perspective to how media bias distorts the news.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer told Rupert Murdoch he shouldn't allow Carlson to air a second night of January 6 counter-testimony.

Whether it's in Washington, DC or Atlanta, the media struggle with upsetting the far left on crime and policing. Reporters relayed the anger at President Biden for agreeing with Republicans that the DC City Council revision of the criminal code was unacceptable. The allegedly anti-rioter media struggles with Antifa hotheads throwing Molotov cocktails at an Atlanta police training facility.…

The Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against Fox News has uncovered an embarrassing collection of messages underlining that Fox's owner and stars had contempt for wild claims about Trump winning the 2020 election, but aired lawyers like Sidney Powell, who pledged to "release the Kraken" of truth....that never arrived. Conservative journalists and conservative media critics and conservative…

With CPAC on the horizon, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I dive into the liberal media’s hostility to the lab leak theory for COVID-19’s origin and how they’re now blaming former President Trump’s criticism of China for rejecting it.

Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I were back behind the microphones to kick off a new week, which began with a bombshell that the Biden Department of Energy believes it’s likely the COVID-19 pandemic was borne out of a lab leak. We also discussed the initial media coverage as well as one new tidbit about the Asbury revival, the latest silliness from The View, and ABC becoming a…

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, managing editor Curtis Houck and I are back to fill in for our executive editor Tim Graham. We examine the vile comments of Joy Behar, who viciously suggested that the residents of East Palestine, Ohio got what was coming to them since they voted for former President Trump who supposedly was to blame for the derailment. They also discussed The…
