The Washington Post rolled out a 2,200-word expose on the maker of the Twitter account "Libs of Tik Tok" by their social-media columnist Taylor Lorenz. They lamented how it "emerged as a powerful force on the internet, shaping right-wing media" with their "incendiary framing." The Post can't see itself as a powerful force in left-wing media.

TV "news" stars are now insisting that there is "nothing" Biden can do to fix inflation, immigration, and crime. So why did they all suggest "the adults were back in charge?" CNN's John Harwood -- is he a White House reporter or a White House employee? -- penned a piece online headlined "Biden confronts a host of problems he can't do much to solve."

In this episode, the guest is college student Christopher Phillips of the Chicago Thinker, who is now the toast of all conservative media for throwing a rip-roaring hardball question at Brian Stelter at the recent so-called “disinformation” conference at the University of Chicago. He asked if journalistic ethics is dead? Stelter’s answer seemed to say Yes. 

NBC's Saturday Night Live aired several jokes in their most recent episode scouring Senate Republicans Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, and nobody expects the "independent fact-checkers" will find "missing context" in the humor. They have punished right-leaning satirists at The Babylon Bee, but liberals get a pass as they pretend Ted Cruz called Ketanji Brown Jackson a pedophile for a week,…

The networks insisted that every American should rejoice that Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed, and lament that Republicans were rude to her. Kevin Tober joins in as we discuss a Chicago "disinformation" conference getting a strong dose of conservative questions about liberal media suppression.

The most sickening effect of the "independent fact checkers" is how they pounce on conservative hot takes and let the liberals smears and overwrought hyperbole go unchecked. So it was easy to compose a little list of recent leftist outbursts which we can guess will be completely skipped!

As the networks show us grisly photos of dead civilians lying in the streets of Ukraine, when most people could agree what Vladimir Putin is a deeply evil man, CNN and Brian Stelter touted a hot take attributed to President Biden that Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch is somehow "the most dangerous man in the world." The last we checked, Murdoch hadn't mowed down any civilians.

The "Transgender Day of Visibility" became a day of completely one-sided promotional news coverage, complete with clips of President Biden's celebration speech. For conservative critics, it was a day of invisibility. The Left thinks identity trumps democracy and debate.

After 260 days of saying nothing, the network morning and evening silence on Hunter Biden was broken by NBC, but only because they wanted to slam Trump for suggesting that war criminal Vladimir Putin should give us the dirt on Hunter.

President Biden's gaffes in Poland about the red-hot Russian war on Ukraine have not gone over well among the European allies. Our media elites wanted to compare Biden to JFK or Ronald Reagan speaking boldly about Russia, but they ended up trying to insist these gaffes weren't really gaffes. Either they soft-pedaled them or ignored them entirely.

In his Apple TV series The Problem, Jon Stewart surely caused jaws to drop with a strong critique of how the media were guilty of "relentless hyperbole" in describing every mini-scoop as a "bombshell" during the Russian collusion probe of independent counsel Robert Mueller. 

As news junkies spend the week monitoring live coverage of the Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearings on cable news or on PBS, they can quickly determine that the TV anchors and analysts are lining up very supportively of Judge Jackson's "historic" candidacy. PBS reporter Geoff Bennett was so eager that he relayed the opinion of Jackson's friends that a tweet equating KBJ with CRT (…

So The New York Times has suddenly decided to proclaim (quietly) that the emails on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop are real. This is a perfect opportunity for NewsBusters to talk to Mollie Hemingway -- Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist and Fox News contributor -- about how the major media and Big Tech acted as a goon squad censoring any journalism about this laptop in October 2020,…

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we dig deeply into the Media Research Center archives to explore the media treatment of Russia during the Cold War and after it. Research Director Scott Whitlock joins the show to recall how the media elites over many years have lauded Soviet communism and its egalitarian dreams. So it's funny when liberal journalists warn about conservatives repeating "…
