Russia invades Ukraine

As ordinary Ukrainians flee the country in order to escape from the Russian invaders, CBS Saturday Morning declared that, unlike other refugees, they benefit from their race.

YouTube blocked all Russian media outlets globally.

Closing out another incredibly busy news week, NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick Fondacaro and I kicked off Friday’s NewsBusters Podcast with some gloating over the sentencing of Jussie Smollett — the far-left actor who faked a hate crime on a January 2019 Chicago night in subzero temperatures — and the liberal media’s complicity in his lies. We were then joined by NewsBusters associate…

On Friday, NBC’s Today show went all in pushing false White House spin that months of record-high inflation and soaring gas prices were somehow exclusively caused by the two-week-old war in Ukraine rather than bad economic policy from the Biden administration. The coverage even parroted the President’s dishonest talking points word for word by repeating the phrase “Putin’s price hike…

Browsing app and search engine DuckDuckGo, formerly a go-to for free speech advocates sick of Big Tech censorship, is now going to downrank sites it deems connected to “Russian disinformation.”

On Wednesday, CNN's Chris Cillizza was hoping, desperately hoping that this could "finally," after all this time of utter ineptitude and awkwardness, be a "Kamala Harris moment" when she jetted off to Europe to address the crises caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You could almost see Cillizza rubbing his worry beads of concern in "Is this, finally, Kamala Harris' moment?"

During a press conference with the president of Poland to discuss responding to the crisis in Ukraine, Vice President Kamala Harris had one of her infamous and inappropriate laughing fits. But according to the infinite wisdom or intellectual laziness of Sunny Hostin, co-host of ABC’s The View on Friday, Harris was the most qualified and best-prepared VP ever and any criticism of her…

Advocacy groups have warned the Biden administration against cutting off the internet in Russia. In recent weeks, Microsoft, PlayStation, Cash App, and more have disabled their services in Russia to boycott the war. Internet service providers Cogent and Lumen also suspended services.

On Thursday, Fox News Digital reporter Yael Halon covered how, “MSNBC economic analyst and former Obama adviser Steven Rattner took President Biden to task on Thursday for claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is responsible for the soaring inflation Americans are facing at home.”

Politico, apparently tired of being mocked for overusing "Republicans pounced" have found a new replacement word: "pile."

Oh, for the good old days of the Soviet Union. America’s foreign policy and goals were clear then: containment and opposition to communist expansion. Nuclear weapons were a deterrent, but neither side believed the other would use them. Russian President Vladimir Putin has changed the game by threatening to use nukes should the U.S. directly confront his forces now raping Ukraine and committing…

CNN Newsroom was sticking to the White House marching orders Thursday as they parroted President Biden’s line that the soaring cost of fuel was because of “Putin’s price hikes.” They were so intent on adhering to their factious script that they literally laughed at the idea (we know it’s fact) that inflation was a feature, not a bug, of the Biden presidency. They even suggested…

YouTube censored the “Ukraine on Fire” (2016) documentary showing the purported history of U.S. involvement in Ukraine.

Appearing on MSNBC Thursday morning, Republican Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick completely dismantled the left-wing cable channel’s attempt to parrot false Biden White House spin that the Russian invasion of Ukraine two weeks ago was responsible for months of surging inflation and gas prices. The GOP lawmaker rejected the absurd talking point with a fact check in real time.
