NewsBusters Podcast: Abby Phillip Cries 'No Evidence' of Weaponization

August 25th, 2025 11:07 PM

When someone cries "no evidence," it’s probably because they can’t handle the evidence. CNN host Abby Phillip repeatedly argued over the weekend that there was no weaponization under Democrats because you can't identify a "Big Puppeteer" who has directed the entire conspiracy against Trump or Tea Party conservatives.

NewsBusters Podcast: Car Crashes Are News, Except for Illegal Aliens

August 21st, 2025 10:09 PM

When is a non-lethal car accident a national news item -- and a car crash that killed three is not? When an illegal alien killed three. ABC, CBS, and NBC wouldn't touch the story of an illegal alien (with a commercial driver's license from California) who drove a truck so badly it killed three people during a bumbled U-turn in Florida. We discuss this and other wokeness topics with Bill D'…

NewsBusters Podcast: Omnidirectional Bias Against Trump's Policy Picks

August 18th, 2025 10:52 PM

The late professor Ted J. Smith accused the liberal networks of an “omnidirectional bias,” of granting negative coverage to Republicans regardless of where the winds blow, or the facts land. Nothing can go right or deserve praise. That goes double for President Trump over his talks with Russia and Ukraine.

NewsBusters Podcast: Denying Any Crime Problem In DC Isn't Facts First

August 11th, 2025 10:12 PM

President Trump held a press conference Monday to announce a federal takeover of D.C. police, and CNN unfurled its usual fury, starting with Canadian "fact checker" Daniel Dale lamenting "there was a lot of deception."

NewsBusters Podcast: Gutfeld Laughs With Fallon, World Keeps Turning

August 8th, 2025 10:00 PM

The Left was furious that Fox late-night host Greg Gutfeld was going to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. But the interview was non-political as they laughed about an old bar-hopping memory. After the Colbert cancellation, does it signal that Fallon wants a broader audience?

NewsBusters Podcast: Why Would a Republican Attempt a 'Town Hall'?

August 6th, 2025 10:23 PM

Can a Republican member of Congress actually hold something called a “town hall meeting”? That would imply a space for civil discourse of a broad cross section of the community. Recent "town halls" have been dominated by booing and screaming Democrats -- who begin the din within 30 seconds. The networks could not even describe the booing screamers as Democrats.

August 1st, 2025 10:35 PM

Kamala Harris coming on for her eighth appearance on "The Late Show" on CBS is part of a dreary routine, the Stephen Colbert Democratic Precinct Hall. But when you actually watch the interview and break it down, you can’t help but think: a 12-year-old might ask tougher questions.

NewsBusters Podcast: Sunday Sound And Fury Over Tulsi's Obama Evidence

July 28th, 2025 10:07 PM

When the network anchors claim there's "no evidence" of a Democrat hoax on Trump-Russia collusion, it means they don't like the evidence. Why can't they acknowledge facts they don't like? All three broadcast networks had Sunday hosts "firefighting" Tulsi Gabbard's document dumps on Obama. Our Jorge Bonilla explains. 

NewsBusters Podcast: Stelter Defines the 'Reliable Source' as Liberal

July 25th, 2025 10:58 PM

In his "Reliable Sources" newsletter, CNN's Brian Stelter freaks out over the Paramount-Skydance merger, insisting CBS is caving to an authoritarian, just as media outlets allegedly did before Viktor Orban in Hungary. A source is only "Reliable" if it hates President Trump with an unquenchable passion.

NewsBusters Podcast: Canceling Stephen Colbert Is Unconstitutional?

July 23rd, 2025 10:39 PM

CBS canceling Stephen Colbert's late night show -- ten months from now -- has been treated like the "dismantling" of the Constitution, and democracy itself. Liberals act like they alone represent the First Amendment and democracy, and whenever someone cancels a TV show, it must be a craven attempt to curry favor with a "fascist." Socialists fuss that "corporate masters" don't have the courage…
