ABC Boosts Cuomo's 'Apology' With 7x the Airtime Vs His Accusers
ABC spent a lot of time and effort during Wednesday’s World News Tonight desperately peddling New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s so-called “apology,” after he was accused by three young women of sexual harassment including unwanted touching. In contrast, CBS Evening News gave more time to sharing the reaction of his accusers, even speaking with the lawyer representing the third…

New MRC Poll PROVES Media’s Cuomo Cover-Up Distorted Public’s View
Due to the liberal media's failure to properly cover the scandal surrounding New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's mistreatment of nursing home patients, one quarter of all voters have been left in the dark about this important story, a new MRC/McLaughlin & Associates poll discovered. Once informed, those voters swung from a plurality (45%) having a favorable view of Cuomo’s handling of the…

Welcoming ‘Refreshing’ Biden, Cursing ‘Horrible’ Republicans
Journalists still have the warm and fuzzies when it comes to Joe Biden. They spent February welcoming the “refreshing” Biden White House by tossing softballs to him in interviews and penning adoring essays about the new president “playing MarioKart with his family.” In stark contrast, the likes of CNN anchor Don Lemon crushed conservatives as being “horrible” since Reagan. The following are…

The Media’s Shameful Cover-Up of Andrew Cuomo’s Nursing Home Scandal
The scandal surrounding New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mishandling of nursing home patients during the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic was never a secret. Yet in their zeal last year to promote Cuomo as a counter to President Trump, broadcast news, cable news, daytime talk shows and late night comics all preferred to tout Cuomo as a pandemic hero, instead of telling the truth about…

Absurd: 'View' Spends More Time on Cuomo Scandal Than ABC News
While ABC's World News Tonight spent less than a minute on Thursday covering the federal probe into Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home scandal, the network’s daytime political talk show, The View, gave the new developments seven minutes and twenty seven seconds on Friday. The hosts spoke with Queens Democrat Assemblyman Ron Kim, who revealed this week that the governor had called…
FLASHBACK: Rush Was a Threat to Them, So They Tried to Destroy Him

ABC Spent Less than a Minute on Federal Cuomo Probe, 4x on Cruz Optics
Having not touched New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home scandal story since Monday and despite two days of continuously unfolding revelations, the Thursday edition of ABC’s World News Tonight spent just 54 seconds telling viewers about the federal investigation into his deadly corruption. And ignoring the moves by state Democrats to remove his emergency powers and…

CNN Conceals Corrupt Cuomo Cover-Up of Nursing Home Deaths from DOJ
Just as CNN’s prime time line up was kicking off their Thursday night hate-fest against Senate Republicans with former President Trump’s second impeachment trial as the backdrop, the New York Post published a bombshell report featuring a recorded phone call of a New York State official admitting Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration intentionally tried to cover-up nursing…

Toxic Baby Food Ignored as ABC, NBC Spend 12 Minutes on MTG
The liberal media were making a full-court press in an effort to try to make freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her loony conspiracy theories the face of the entire Republican Party. ABC and NBC were so focused on that mission Thursday that they put aside the health and safety of the families that relied on them for information. Specifically, they ignored a new government…

Operation ‘Deprogram’: Time for a ‘Cleansing’ of Conservatives
It didn’t matter that most Republicans and conservatives decried the horrible January 6 Capitol Hill riots. Liberal journalists nevertheless exploited the event to target them as “cultists” who needed to be “deprogrammed.” The following are some of the worst (non-Inauguration) outbursts from liberal journos (and celebrities) over the last month.

Devout Catholic? The Media vs. Biden’s Real Record
President Biden is a “devout Catholic,” the liberal media say. But there’s consternation among some U.S. Catholic leaders about how Biden’s policies directly contradict Church teachings.

CBS Silent as Biden Readied COVID Vaccines for Guantanamo Terrorists
Shortly before their evening newscasts Thursday, news broke that the Biden administration had approved a plan to give terrorists housed at Guantanamo Bay (including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed) precious doses of the coronavirus vaccine ahead of most Americans. Doing their part to cover-up President Biden’s blunder, CBS has yet to report the story to viewers on any of their flagship…

One Last Time: Bye-Bye Tom Brokaw!
On Friday, Tom Brokaw formally retired from NBC News. If you are confused it’s because he already had one retirement when he vacated the NBC Nightly News anchor chair for Brian Williams back in 2004. But like a college professor who awkwardly still hung out with kids decades younger than him he hung around the NBC offices in an Anchor Emeritus role. We here at NewsBusters offer on…

FLASHBACK: In 2001, Media Instructed GOP to Compromise with Liberals
Twenty years ago, after a disputed election and with a 50-50 Senate, the liberal media preached that President George W. Bush should seek “compromise” and forge better ties with Democrats. But this year, there’s been an almost complete absence of media voices urging President Joe Biden to jettison his liberal campaign agenda in favor of bipartisanship.
