NewsBusters Podcast: WashPost Loses Their WashPoo Over GOP and 1/6

April 25th, 2022 8:09 PM

Sunday's Washington Post looked like a partisan rag with a collection of hit pieces (and a cartoon) on McCarthy and his "humiliating pilgrimage" to Mar-a-Lago to make nice with the former president after the GOP anger subsided. He would be a terrible speaker, they insisted, and would cause more "debacles" like this.

April 22nd, 2022 10:17 PM

After roughly $300 million invested and just 23 days in operation, the new owners of CNN quickly and publicly pulled the plug on their streaming serving CNN+. Brian Stelter tried to claim that they didn't have enough time to prove they were a failure, but the weak 10,000 daily viewership numbers underlined it would be a financial sinkhole. Kyle Drennen joins the show to discuss how many…

April 20th, 2022 10:17 PM

April 18th, 2022 9:59 PM

TV "news" stars are now insisting that there is "nothing" Biden can do to fix inflation, immigration, and crime. So why did they all suggest "the adults were back in charge?"

NewsBusters Podcast: No Fact Checks for 'Saturday Night Live'

April 11th, 2022 9:28 PM

NBC's Saturday Night Live aired several jokes in their most recent episode scouring Senate Republicans Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, and nobody expects the "independent fact-checkers" will find "missing context" in the humor. They have punished right-leaning satirists at The Babylon Bee, but liberals get a pass as they pretend Ted Cruz called Ketanji Brown Jackson a pedophile for a week,…

NewsBusters Podcast: What Leftists Say Without Fear of 'Fact Checkers'

April 6th, 2022 10:30 PM

The most sickening effect of the "independent fact checkers" is how they pounce on conservative hot takes and let the liberals smears and overwrought hyperbole go unchecked. So it was easy to compose a little list of recent leftist outbursts which we can guess will be completely skipped!

NewsBusters Podcast: Stelter Hits Rupert as World's Most Dangerous Man

April 4th, 2022 10:31 PM

As the networks show us grisly photos of dead civilians lying in the streets of Ukraine, when most people could agree what Vladimir Putin is a deeply evil man, CNN and Brian Stelter touted a hot take attributed to President Biden that Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch is somehow "the most dangerous man in the world." The last we checked, Murdoch hadn't mowed down any civilians.

NewsBusters Podcast: LGBTQ Lobby Gets Conservative Day of Invisibility

April 1st, 2022 10:24 PM

The "Transgender Day of Visibility" became a day of completely one-sided promotional news coverage, complete with clips of President Biden's celebration speech. For conservative critics, it was a day of invisibility. The Left thinks identity trumps democracy and debate.

NewsBusters Podcast: Biden Pooper Scoopers Go Into Overdrive in Poland

March 28th, 2022 8:57 PM

President Biden's gaffes in Poland about the red-hot Russian war on Ukraine have not gone over well among the European allies. Our media elites wanted to compare Biden to JFK or Ronald Reagan speaking boldly about Russia, but they ended up trying to insist these gaffes weren't really gaffes. Either they soft-pedaled them or ignored them entirely.
