White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped into socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Monday, and Mediaite editor Colby Hall just couldn't figure out why she would attack this new radical face of the Democratic Party. He even failed to identify him as a mayoral candidate, saying he "isn't even in Congress yet."

Liberal journalists subtly tell you they're liberal when they describe who in politics is "extreme." When you're a liberal, Bernie Sanders or AOC aren't extreme. He's not very far from you at all. So it's only natural that virtually every Republican is "far right" on the media's political spectrum. Bill D'Agostino discusses his latest study of how "far" the media go.  

The current dominant spin about President Trump's bunker-busting bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities comes from anonymous intelligence sources. They are guessing that the Iranian nuclear program has only been set back about three months. Once again, reporters like CNN's Natasha Bertrand exploit shadowy sources for an anti-Trump spin, pretending all the way that there's no politics being played…

Within minutes of American bombs dropping in Iran on Saturday night, the network “experts” were second-guessing everything, calling the moves “extremely risky.” President Trump was responsible for endangering both American troops and innocent Iranian civilians. Journalists always want to line up for diplomatic “solutions,” even if nothing gets solved.

Minutes after President Trump announced that U.S. airmen had safely left Iranian airspace following successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear weapon enrichment facilities Saturday night, CNN’s Clarissa Ward took to CNN Newsroom to gripe about how Trump threw a “curveball” into the plans of European leaders who wanted to negotiate with the regime. She went further and suggested that…

Newsletters on the media are channeling gloom inside CNN after Warner Bros. Discovery spun them off, much as Comcast spun off MSNBC. Insiders are worrying about CNN being able to exist. There's panic at Anderson Cooper's disco, and his pay will probably shrink. Meanwhile, Fox quadruples CNN in the ratings.

The polls are wildly varying on President Trump's approval rating right now. One has him down 17 points, while another has him up ten. It's more likely our left-wing media will prefer the worst number. But maybe approval ratings are overrated by the power sniffers.

Toning down the rhetoric sounds like the right idea after political violence. But nobody thinks liberal journalists like CBS host Margaret Brennan or the ranting ladies of The View are the role models for civility referees. They have a blatant double standard on who gets to savage and smear their opponents. 

If the media were truly objective on violent protests against police, they would discourage January 6 rioters and leftist rioters. They shouldn't be shaming Trump at the same time they downplay violence against police in Los Angeles as a nothingburger. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck has watched all the riot coverage on the morning and evening newscasts. 

ABC reporter Terry Moran was suspended on Sunday for a rage-filled tweet about President Trump and Stephen Miller being "world-class haters." This followed liberal rage over Trump ordering the California National Guard to restore order over immigration protests in Los Angeles.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are now dramatically at odds, and no one is happier than the left-wing press. Time magazine's giddy headline was "The Musk-Trump Implosion Can Be Seen From Space." This week pundits compared Elon's DOGE efforts to the mass murders of Stalin and Mao, including The View. Nick Fondacaro explains the craziness.

Even by his own standards, former CNN anchor turned Substack podcaster Jim Acosta displayed a stunning amount of hypocrisy on Tuesday when it comes to conspiracy theories about the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. On 2020, Acosta let former CNN colleague Michael Fanone go on a profanity-laden rant against Speaker Mike Johnson and fellow Republicans while he labeled actress Rosie O’Donnell…

On Tuesday, The Trump administration sent its rescission package to Capitol Hill, asking Congress to claw back $9.4 billion in approved spending, including $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Tom Llamas, the new NBC Nightly News anchor, is telling people NBC is straight down the middle. We at NewsBusters love the concept of fair and balanced news. But that doesn't mean NBC News has achieved it nightly.
