In a truly puzzling piece of clickbait, Washington Post columnist Jason Rezaian -- who reported from Tehran for the Post until he was taken hostage by Iran for 544 days -- proclaimed he was rooting for Iran to beat the USA in the World Cup soccer tournament....since it would keep the focus on Iran's dismal human-rights record. But Iranian dissidents were rooting for the USA! 

On MSNBC, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt discussed how the Left should "get the reins" on Twitter and stop this Elon Musk "free speech" business. The leftist media line up with the "defamation" censors to pressure the social-media giants to punish conservatives.

The chorus of "I told you so" broke out after public defenders of the alleged mass shooter in Colorado explained their client was "non-binary" and used "they/them" pronouns. So much for the notion that Tucker Carlson and GOP politicians were somehow responsible for the violent crimes.

The horrid mass shooting at a Colorado nightclub is causing ladies at ABC's The View to say Jesus would be the grand marshal of a Gay Pride parade, and that conservative rhetoric and legislation against "trans rights" spurred these murders.

Now that the election season is over, it's that special time on the political calendar when the Obamas come out of their mansion and bless their adoring media with the joy of their presence. Barack was selling a "Democracy Forum." Michelle has a new book out. 

We're on the Wednesday a week after the Election Day, and the liberal media still won't proclaim the House is going Republican. As of Wednesday afternoon, they were still stuck on 217. Six of the nine outstanding races are in California, which has an obvious competence issue.

President Biden held a press conference  at the White House after the midterms, and some reporters unloaded diatribes about Biden's agenda being ruined and "affirmative action" taking a severe hit. CNN asked about the return of decency and civility, as if Biden or CNN was civil to Republicans on a daily basis.

The historical averages suggested a "red wave" of some size in the 2022 midterms. But the media's Election Night routine was slightly blander when there was no obvious tilt toward Republicans, but instead a tilt toward all incumbents. We had no cries of "whitelash" or talk of voters throwing two-year-old temper tantrums.

ABC's Jonathan Karl pummeled Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Sunday with questions signaling his loathing of Republican plans to hold oversight hearings into the Bidens and perhaps prepare impeachments for Biden or his cabinet secretaries. They spent all of 2022 adoring Democrat investigations, and now they flip-flop!

The network medical dramas have sunk into melodramatic propaganda in the week before the elections, on both NBC's New Amsterdam and ABC's Grey's Anatomy. Both railed against the overturning of Roe v. Wade.  LIberals are such sore losers. In this episode, MRC staff offer some dramatic readings of some of our favorite sore-loser meltdowns from the liberal news and…

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, managing editor Curtis Houck and I discuss how the liberal media aren’t letting a good crisis go to waste as they use the heinous attack against Paul Pelosi (Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband as a prop to help Democratic chances in midterm elections.

Social-media networks are a hot topic going into the midterms. Leftists are losing their minds over Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. On MSNBC, Lincoln Project adviser Tara Setmayer called Musk a "child," said he's "Immature," he has "daddy issues." She can't imagine why a single advertiser would stay.

Herschel Walker is demonstrating once again that our liberal media despise black Republicans. The network shows leaped on a second anonymous woman claiming Walker paid for her abortion. It's a weird take, since they love abortions and don't think they're scandalous, unless a Republican pays for one. They suggest minority Republicans can't truly be minorities unless they're fully Democrat.

The one and only debate between Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate candidates was a debacle for Democrat John Fetterman. But the post-debate coverage lauded Fetterman's "courage," downplayed his disabilities (or made them a virtue), and hammered Republican Mehmet Oz for his allegedly "heinous" remarks in favor of making abortion legislation up to the states.
