NB Podcast

As the news turns dark under Joe Biden, CNN's Media Unit of Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy are aggressively spinning in defense of the liberals.

Closing out another incredibly busy news week, NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick Fondacaro and I kicked off Friday’s NewsBusters Podcast with some gloating over the sentencing of Jussie Smollett — the far-left actor who faked a hate crime on a January 2019 Chicago night in subzero temperatures — and the liberal media’s complicity in his lies. We were then joined by NewsBusters associate…

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, I and Curtis Houck discuss the new Quinnipiac poll showing a majority of Democrats would give up and flee the country if America was invaded like Ukraine. We also look at the media defending President Biden's disastrous energy policies that have struggling Americans paying over $4 at the pump. And the media are also upset that gender crazies can't…

NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I began our week of guest hosting the NewsBusters podcast by highlighting the downfall of Kremlin-funded RT and why no one should be shedding tears. We also discussed where the liberal media have failed (hint: it has to do with energy) and succeeded in reminding people of what honest journalism should look like.

NBC spent not one, but two nights trying to make a scandal out of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis telling high-school kids behind his podium at an event that they didn't have to wear masks, since that was "ridiculous." NBC found an outraged parent and that completely nonpartisan head of the CDC for rebuttal. Even after the CDC relented on mask requirements, the networks are still ripping Republicans…

Nick Fondacaro and Kevin Tober joined me to discuss the live coverage of Biden's State of the Union address. CNN's Van Jones gushed "Uncle Joe is back," but other pundits like Chuck Todd felt the speech didn't hit right, and it won't "age well."

From Ukraine to the Supreme Court, Democrat-promoting reporters like George Stephanopoulos and Andrea Mitchell are pushing the Biden line and then protesting the idea that anyone would call them Democrats. They’re still pushing Trump as the center of the foreign-policy universe and insisting Biden’s SCOTUS pick should be confirmed immediately without anyone talking about the left wing...

As Russia brutally invades Ukraine, columnist Gabriella Hoffman explains how extreme Western climate policies are giving Vladimir Putin more power in global politics. Plus a note about the global rarity of gun-rights guarantees.

It's more than a little odd when the same media that won't say the Pledge of Allegiance suddenly demand everyone needs to be good patriotic Americans and support President Biden as Russia invades Ukraine and underlines Biden's failure and weakness on the world stage. They hounded House Republicans for mocking Biden walking away, refusing to answer questions from the press.

The Left thinks their most effective messengers are comedians. But John Oliver's latest rant against Ted Cruz, complete with profane poetry borrowing a page from Dr. Seuss, shows comedians are better at angrily emoting than they are at enlightening. John Oliver is also a blazing hypocrite.

Hillary Clinton didn't take the conservative media attacks lying down after the John Durham filing, tweeting out a "good debunking" of their "nonsense" from Bess Levin in Vanity Fair. That magazine is an anti-Trump hothouse in dire need of debunking. Levin has written up florid fantasies about punishing Donald Trump and wild suggestions that Trump's "beaten a few homeless people to…

The media cheered a judge and jury dismissed Sarah Palin's lawsuit against The New York Times over their smears claiming she incited a mass shooting in Arizona. The media feared that John Durham's probe of the origins of the Trump-Russia obsession would ruin their narrative.

Over the weekend, a "bombshell" was released by special counsel John Durham, revealing the Clinton campaign was spying on Donald Trump (even into his White House years). The networks and major papers avoided touching this news like Durham was a leper.

The Olympics are an athletic event, but they're political when the host country is an abusive dictatorship. NBC failed to see the ideological clash as they championed U.S.-born Ashley Gu competing for communist China and also striking advertising deals with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany. Geoffrey Dickens discusses his recent blogs on China and Olympic coverage.
