Conspiracy Theories

New York Times Michael Paulson and Ruth Graham probed the alleged Trump-fueled resurgence of anti-Semitism on Sunday’s front page, led by -- the rapper formerly named Kanye West and basketball Star Kyrie Irving? -- in “Pop Culture and Politics Propel Surging Stream of Antisemitism.”

With the dust still settling from an Election Day that saw record turnout across the country, it’s clear Republican victories were limited with many Trump-backed candidates failing epically. But the cast of ABC’s The View was as miserable as ever, falsely suggesting there was still “tremendous voter suppression” despite admitting there was “huge turnout” and boasting that voters were…

One of the early races to be called on Election Day was the Florida gubernatorial race when incumbent Republican Ron DeSantis trounced Democrat Charlie Crist by a historic margin, and the key to that victory was flipping historically blue Miami-Dade County red. But according to ABC’s Maria Elena Salinas, the county flipped because Democrats had given up fighting for Florida and the “…

The red tsunami was so apparent on Election Day that by 5 O’clock that evening – before the polls even closed – MSNBC was already calling the results in Georgia illegitimate. That was the hot take from Morgan State University professor and MSNBC fill-in host Jason Johnson. He also got backup from Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace.

On Monday night, MSNBC’s Joy Reid went full-blown conspiracy kook during her show The ReidOut. She was apparently wearing her tin foil hat so tight that it was cutting off her circulation because she claimed with a straight face that over half of the midterm election polls published over the last few weeks are Republican polls that are skewed to create a media narrative that a red…

With the polls in Georgia narrowing and Republicans surging nationwide, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View was terrified on Thursday that Republican candidate Herschel Walker would beat out Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock for his seat in Georgia. So, to do their part, the staunch racists in Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin had their knives out to assert that Walker was “willingly…

In addition to the closely watched Pennsylvania Senate debate Tuesday night, the debate between New York gubernatorial candidates Kathy Hochul (D) and Lee Zeldin (R) also played out. Their comments on crime drew the attention of ABC’s The View on Wednesday and mentally unstable co-host Sunny Hostin took things to a dangerous place when she tried to justify an attempted assassination…

In an apparent attempt to outdo her outrageous segment from last week, MSNBC Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace used part of her show not to condemn foreign interference in our elections but to call for other countries to administer them for us. She said this to Democratic Congressman Jim Himes (CT) who seemed to suggest that, while he was opposed to the idea now, he could be…

A tour de force is the only way to describe what happened during ABC’s The View on Monday as Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) dominated the debate on Democratic election denialism, getting co-host Whoopi Goldberg to admit that they’re fine with election denialism from Democrats and that she thinks former President Trump wasn’t legitimately elected. He did this while also battling the…

The ladies of ABC’s The View are divorced from reality; a benefit of their uber-wealthy lifestyles that allow them to not face the hardships average Americans are experiencing in the Biden economy. It also constitutes the rickety soapbox co-host Joy Behar stands upon when she repeatedly bemoans how those struggling Americas rank inflation as their top concern in the midterms and for…

Commentator Scott Jennings caused an uproar on Friday CNN Tonight panel led by Alisyn Camerota when he had the tenacity to point out to her that it is not just Republicans who are susceptible to conspiracy theories.

New York Times White House correspondent and rumor mill spigot Maggie Haberman joined the cast of ABC’s The View on Monday to peddle her book Confidence Man, the latest anti-Trump book to be hawked by a member of the supposedly objective press. During this interview, she was pressed on the media’s role in elevating former President Trump and helping him get into…

MSNBC’s Katy Tur welcomed CBS chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett and the executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, David Becker on to her Tuesday program to discuss their new book, The Big Truth, which contains a bit of civil war fan fiction.

Last week NewsBusters documented Washington Post technology columnist, crybully, pathological liar, and online harasser Taylor Lorenz threatening Libs of TikTok on behalf of her colleague Elizabeth Dwoskin with false claims that the account was responsible for threats made against a hospital and that it was “evacuated.” Well, there was fallout Thursday when Libs of TikTok called out…
