NB Podcast

Happy Friday NewsBusters readers! Today’s edition of the NewsBusters podcasts holds a special treat for listeners. With executive editor Tim Graham away on a well-deserved summer vacation, the NewsBusters night crew has been left in charge! That’s right, managing editor Curtis Houck and I will be manning the helm for the next couple of weeks.

In the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we explore CNN host Chris Cuomo touting how there was a "throughline" from the Tulsa race massacre of 1921 to red-state voter-integrity bills in 2021. How does asking for an ID or moving early voting hours compare to mass murder? The only conclusion is Chris Cuomo isn't smart.

In the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we return to the topic of voting integrity. On The Late Show on CBS, host Stephen Colbert interviewed actor Bradley Whitford as he uncorked cockeyed conspiracy theories like if the Congress doesn't pass HR1, they'll meet in "internment camps."

Last year, conservative Senators like Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz were slammed for pushing a "fringe theory" that COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan lab. Now, suddenly, the media have decided that's not fringy or crazy any more.

In the latest NewsBusters Podcast we are sad to report that Chris Cuomo can’t be canned, Jeffrey Toobin is still in Zoom limbo. But CNN decided to terminate the contract of conservative contributor Rick Santorum. This delighted the censorious leftists on Twitter, who cannot stand a dissenting point of view on CNN. Brian Stelter was pleased “their voices were heard.”

MSNBC host Joy Reid put on a remarkably unhinged show on Tuesday night, on everything from the Steve Scalise shooting to the January 6 riot. Plus: Why would CNN put on another Kamau Bell show celebrating BLM and Antifa if they wanted to pose as anti-rioting? 

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we discuss the really viral exchange from Sunday's Meet the Press, when NBC host Chuck Todd pushed and prodded and attempted to shame Rep. Dan Crenshaw over the allegedly sorry state of the GOP, and Crenshaw upset him by saying journalists are all liberals. Todd call that the "laziest" answer, but the laziest approach is never reflecting on how…

On the latest NewsBusters podcast, we look at the big picture under Biden. In less than three months, the country is facing a gas shortage for much of the East Coast, inflation, a slowdown in hiring despite a record number of job openings, fighting in the Middle East and a border crisis. Is Biden more like Jimmy Carter in the Seventies, or Michael Dukakis in the Eighties?

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we tackle the ginned-up controversy over Rep. Liz Cheney, and how her crusading against Donald Trump looks like it will lead to a vote removing her from the House GOP leadership. Oh, how the media love this sticky wicket! On Friday night's Don Lemon show, Brian Stelter touted how CNN and MSNBC have loaded more than 300 mentions apiece of Liz Cheney, while Fox…

On the Friday NewsBusters Podcast, we focus again on how the media are treating election-integrity bills. Now the focus has turned to Florida, as Gov. Ron DeSantis faux-signed Florida's new election law on Fox & Friends Thursday morning, giving Fox News exclusive access to the event, which infuriated the liberal media. But they were also going to dismiss the law as throwing "…

In the latest NewsBusters Podcast, Sister Toldjah of RedState talks about how the "fact checkers" have grown suddenly lazy under Joe Biden, and how angry CNN media writer Oliver Darcy blocked her on Twitter over Tucker Carlson.

The latest edition of the NewsBusters Podcast explores how easy it is to prove that The Washington Post is a paper by Democrats, for Democrats -- a partisan broadsheet...whether it's the "fact checker" squad or the religion reporters. Both rip the right-wingers. 

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we look ahead at Wednesday night's Biden speech -- his first joint address to Congress -- and discuss the networks spiking the bombshell that Biden climate adviser John Kerry is accused of leaking to Iran’s foreign minister about our ally in Israel.

On the latest NewsBusters podcast, the topic is Earth Day. It's like Easter for the pagans, and the networks gushed over President Biden's vague climate goals as "ambitious" and even "visionary." It doesn't matter if there isn't a clear policy. All that matters is he's not Trump, and he's ready to rejoin the global socialist consensus in the Paris climate accords.
