NB Podcast

It was a weekend of wailing and teeth-gnashing over the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade on Friday. One anchor even embarrassed herself by lamenting that Gov. Kristi Noem and millions of other people believe an abortion ban saves babies.

Most of the political junkies were surprised with a Friday decision overturning Roe vs. Wade, and the liberals were wailing and gnashing their teeth. But let's have a little joy before we chronicle the media meltdowns. Scott Whitlock talks about the media omission of "Jane's Revenge."

On this edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, executive editor Tim Graham examines how the Democrats and the liberal media pretend to be religious as they preach their pro-abortion agenda, calling out Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) who says she's "very Catholic" and very pro-choice, and Vice President Kamala Harris who claims pro-choice positioning has no bearing on your faith. The media nod along.…

New polls show few people are "very closely" watching the live coverage of January 6 Committee hearings, and NBC found Republicans are doubling down in opposition to this get-Trump effort.

Excerpts from a new memoir from Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden's ex-wife, were posted by People magazine on June 1, but ABC and CBS hosted softball interviews just this week. Hunter's still getting off the hook.

There are signs in the polls that Democrats are not going to do well in the midterm elections. But the direst numbers are President Biden's approval ratings and his terrible numbers on handling inflation. CNN says they're worse than Jimmy Carter's!

Liberal haters of Fox News (like NPR's media reporter) shame Fox for ignoring "unwelcome facts," even as NPR couldn't do one story on the failed Brett Kavanaugh assassin.

Democrats talked all the networks (except Fox News) into a breathless hearing (or retelling) of January 6. But it felt like a summer rerun.

As news broke of a man approaching the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh hoping to kill him, CNN tried to downplay the leftist and suggest "both sides" might be a threat after the Supreme Court's abortion ruling. The media doesn't like covering fire-bombing pro-life offices and vandalism at crisis pregnancy centers and Catholic churches.

Brian Stelter is upset that Fox and Newsmax will not commit to airing hours of live prime-time propaganda from the liberal-stacked House January 6 committee. You're not a "news channel" unless you follow Stelter's orders. It's a "broken information environment" if he's not obeyed. Stelter even characterized the conservative channels as a "schism" from news orthodoxy.

In the heated environment after two mass shootings, we review all the calls for banning "assault weapons" and AR-15s, and our Nick Fondacaro picks apart the "facts" the gun-grabber media gets wrong.

Special counsel John Durham's first trial in his investigation of the origins of the Russian collusion probe was ignored by the networks for weeks....until the accused Hillary Clinton lawyer was found Not Guilty. Then it was a "stinging defeat" and "major blow"!

NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick Fondacaro and I assumed the helm for Friday’s show and, following a heavy week for the country following Tuesday’s deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, we spent the episode doing a deep dive on the various liberal media narratives that immediately came to the surface.

While most Americans think Biden's economy is bad, we should recall that under Trump, the networks were highly allergic to reporting the good news. Record-low unemployment rates (including for women and minorities) and record stock-market highs were routinely skipped by the network "news" shows.
