Labeling

As NewsBusters has extensively documented, the broadcast newscasts have done everything they could to downplay and cover-up the extreme leftist violence at protests happening in cities across the country. But during ABC’s Good Morning America on Sunday, the network, via correspondent Janai Norman, attempted some revisionist history, claiming it had been “weeks” since protests had…

Wednesday night saw a major escalation in the conflict at the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon as Antifa terrorists and rioters barricaded federal agents inside the building and tried to set the building ablaze. It was a provocation that could have killed the untold number of agents in the building. Luckily, Antifa failed. But during the Thursday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC,…

Irony in 2020 is some potent stuff. Imagine being a magazine that’s marketed to a specific gender role and then going out of your way to smear someone who questions the transgender narrative. Instead of focusing on physical fitness, or good dieting for the more masculine gender, Men’s Health Magazine decided to weigh in on the transgender debate by slamming Joe Rogan for criticizing…

After once dubiously omitting his answer to a question about his senility, CBS Evening News via political correspondent Ed O’Keefe acted as a campaign surrogate for Democratic candidate Joe Biden on Wednesday, boosting his lie that President Trump was America’s “first racist president.” NBC Nightly News also got in on the act. Between pushing the lie and praising a new…

It was just 24 hours ago that the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were playing stupid about the weeks of violence in Portland, Oregon, claiming there was “no explanation” for the Department of Homeland Security arresting Antifa terrorists trying to burn down the federal courthouse. Now, on Tuesday, those same networks took up positions on Antifa’s side of the battle line; blaming…

On Monday’s New Day, CNN co-host Alisyn Camerota played senior political analyst John Avlon’s newest “reality check” clip. The clip was far from a “reality check,” as Avlon hypocritically accused the Republican Party of promoting extremism and conspiracy theories through discussing the QAnon conspiracy theory.

In a dubious “fact-check” put out over the weekend, USA Today falsely claimed that it was “true” that the Trump campaign was using a “Nazi symbol” (an eagle with wings out stretched holding a circular American flag) on a shirt…

CNN is obsessed with yet ANOTHER "tell-all" book about Donald Trump. The network doesn't care if these products are true, just that they trash the President.  On Wednesday morning’s New Day, CNN co-hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota brought on political correspondent Sara Murray and political commentator Errol Louis to hype Mary Trump’s book and to make outrageous claims about the…

For three years, Bari Weiss has been one of the scant few voices of fairness at The New York Times. But as of Tuesday, her time as staff editor and writer ended with a public resignation letter that called out the so-called “paper of record” for pushing ideological “orthodoxy,” kowtowing to Twitter mobs, and the internal “new McCarthyism.” She also exposed the “unlawful discrimination…

In a follow-up appearance on Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday, St. Louis lawyer and home defender Mark McCloskey called out the liberal media and CNN’s Chris “Fredo” Cuomo for siding with the “Marxist” Black Lives Matter “mob” over the lives and property of him and his wife. It was an interview his lawyer advised him not to do, but his message was true.

On the front page of Thursday’s New York Times, technology reporter Mike Isaac pushed a just-completed “civil rights” audit of Facebook: “Facebook Lets Hate Flourish, Report Finds.”But that headline actually translates into a complaint that Facebook is not sufficiently censoring Trump and his supporters in the run-up to the November elections. 

Cancel Culture doesn’t exist, at least according to a letter attempting to stomp on criticism of the tactic. The letter, reinforcing leftist dogma, was signed by a member of the Facebook Oversight Board.

The networks finally broke their weeks-long blackout of conservative wins in the U.S. Supreme Court this session. Among Wednesday’s decisions were two religious liberty rulings that went decisively in conservatives’ favor: hiring/firing practices and opting out of ObamaCare’s contraception coverage mandate. Of course, ABC, CBS, and NBC covered only the latter, with ABC and CBS expressing…

During Tuesday’s PrimeTime which saw CNN host Chris Cuomo as the voice of reason for once, radical left-wing commentator Angela Rye equated accused pedophile R. Kelly with Founding Father and author if the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson. And beyond acknowledging the personal flaws of our collective American heroes, Rye insisted all the faces on Mt. Rushmore be torn down…
