CIA Is Attempting to Block Navy Vet from Telling CNN Defamation Story

As NewsBusters was first to report last December, Navy veteran Zachary Young, the man who took CNN to court for malicious defamation and won, was set to release a memoir titled American Spy co-written by American Sniper author Scott McEwen.

WashPost: Trump Killing Pool ‘Doesn’t Reflect Well on Democracy’

Because he’s not a cable TV fixture, Washington Post arts and architecture critic Philip Kennicott can fly under the radar as one of the most unhinged sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). But stories like one that ran in Thursday’s print edition illustrated his TDS as he raged about Trump “disturb[ing]” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, “one of the most serene places” in…

[UPDATE] The Media Have Wasted Almost 10 HOURS on the Reflecting Pool

The news media’s obsession with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting pool has continued apace. Earlier this week, we found that TV news had spent almost seven hours on the story in just the past nine days. As of Friday morning June 25, that total has reached almost ten hours across left-wing cable (CNN and MSNBC) and broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC).

Joy Behar: 'We Should All Be' 'Embarrassed to Be an American'

Joy Behar probably wasn’t a big fan of Lee Greenwood’s music, because during Friday’s The View, she lashed out at the country who made her a multimillionaire and admitted she was “embarrassed” to an American. Not only did she double down on that comment, but she also proclaimed “we should all be” “embarrassed” to be Americans.

'SHE' Wanted to Kill: WashPost Goes Soft on Foiled Kavanaugh Assassin

The Washington Post provided the latest update on a foiled transgender assassin on Tuesday. The headline: “She got eight years for plotting to kill Justice Kavanaugh. Prosecutors want more.” The only problem: “she” was a dude during his violent plotting and then pleading guilty. It took them 26 paragraphs to report it was "Nicholas Roske" who they arrested.

TYPICAL: WashPost Injects Climate Change Babble Into Algae-Gate Affair

The Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos may have instituted free market reforms to the lefty newspaper’s opinion section, but its obsession with injecting climate change drivel into news coverage remains intact.

Morning Joe RIPS Trump's Smithsonian 'Takeover' -- Obama-Biden, Hello?

In their new book, "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan devote considerable attention to the Trump administration’s efforts to influence Smithsonian exhibits. On a Morning Joe segment today, Haberman misleadingly framed it as Trump and his allies “wanting to leave their imprint on what art Americans can see…

The Feminist Fashionistas Uncork Ugliness Against Usha Vance

One way our nation’s most “prestigious” newspapers show they’re Democrat Party propaganda sheets is when their fashion critics apply all of their tawdry partisan biases to their evaluations of the clothes of politicians (or their spouses). Vanessa Friedman of The New York Times went after Usha Vance and how "MAGA women aren't hiding their pregnancy?" Why should they?

WEIRD: Networks OMIT Landmark Gun Rights Ruling from SCOTUS Roundups

In a weird case of bias by omission, the broadcast network newscasts all neglected to cover a landmark gun rights ruling by the Supreme Court, even as they all did roundups covering the several decisions handed down. Instead, they whined about the two opinions that bolstered the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
