Bias by Omission

CNN media bootlicker Brian Stelter understood his assignment Tuesday after the Democrat-led House January 6 Committee said they wanted to speak to Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity about his messages to former Trump administration officials before, during, and after the riot. Mocking the serious First Amendment questions, Stelter was giddy as he baselessly speculated that Hannity was somehow…

Back on December 15, the organization Families Against Fentanyl exposed how Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data showed deadly drug overdoses from fentanyl have become the leading cause of death among people between the ages of 18 and 45 and not the coronavirus. While still taking Covid seriously, one could have expected the major broadcast networks to acknowledge it. Since…

Joel Pollak at Breitbart reported Sunday that Chief Justice John Roberts of the U.S. Supreme Court blasted attempts to exert “inappropriate political influence” in his year-end report for 2021, as President Biden and the Democrats have pondered proposals to expand or pack the Court with liberals. Roberts did not explicitly mention the court-packing talk, and the liberal media ignored it. That'…

In a heartbreaking report out on Saturday, The New York Times detailed how prenatal blood tests for genetic defects used in some cases to justify an abortion were wrong between 81 and 93 percent of the time, as the companies boast near-perfect results. But the pro-abortion advocates in the liberal broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) didn’t want their viewers to know that terrible…

CNN is ending 2021 the same way they spent most of it: in the gutter. Late Wednesday, news broke that yet another CNN producer was under “criminal investigation” for sexually preying on minors. This time it was the producer for Jake Tapper’s weekday show The Lead, Rick Saleeby.

As was reported here on Wednesday afternoon, ABC, NBC, and CBS had nothing but gushing praise for former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. This was also true on Wednesday evening as the liberal networks drooled all over Reid and his legacy as the longtime leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate. However, NBC Nightly News did change their tune slightly from this morning.

For nearly two years, Dr. Fauci was the pope of the media’s new church of science and the CDC was the Vatican Council handing down the dogmas of the rites and rituals around masks, isolation, and vaccine anointments. But with the CDC loosening isolation recommendations in the face of new information about the Omicron variant’s life cycle, the media’s faith was shaken as they openly denied the…

Not a bad word or embarrassing moment was mentioned by the broadcast networks Wednesday morning as they reported on the life and death of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Instead, they showed him the greatest of reverence as they praised him as a Democratic “kingmaker,” “force of nature,” and a “powerbroker.”

Seemingly taking a page out of NBC’s playbook Tuesday night, CBS Evening News edited out part of a 9-1-1 call warning LAPD officers responding to an attack at a Burlington clothing store that gunshots were heard. It’s was critical context missing from the event that resulted in the accidental death of a 14-year-old girl hiding in a dressing room with her mother while it was later…

On Monday, the network evening news broadcasts ignored a report Vanity Fair published alleging the Biden Administration rejected a "10-page plan" from numerous public health institutions to help purchase and distribute Covid tests back in October. "It also recommended, right on the first page, a nationwide 'Testing Surge to Prevent Holiday COVID Surge,'" the magazine's Katherine Eban…

Since the start of the pandemic, the liberal media have used airline confrontations over masking policies to portray those opposed to pandemic protocols in a negative light. But a Sunday scuffle between a pro-mask woman and an 80-year-old-man, who had pulled his mask down to eat, got no airtime on Monday’s edition of CBS Evening News.

Filling in for boss Tim Graham, NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I were back in our saddles for Monday’s post-Christmas edition of the NewsBusters Podcast and, while it’s often a slower time of the year in the news business, we still had plenty to talk about.

On the last so-called “Reliable Sources” of 2021, CNN media apologist Brian Stelter set out to bust some of the “misconceptions” the public had about the media. The misconceptions that needed to be battled included the idea that they have “malicious intent” when they publish fake news and that the media’s political biases were being actively offset internally, resulting in balanced…

China is responsible for every American Covid death. But if you’re going to try to parse out blame to a particular president, at least get the simple math right. On Christmas Eve, CNN Newsroom fill-in host Boris Sanchez had some trouble doing that as he definitively claimed it was “fake news” to accurately say that more Americans have been killed by Covid under President Biden than…
