The New York Times is not your most reliable narrator on all stories about NPR: their weekday podcast The Daily runs on hundreds of NPR affiliates, which creates an obvious rooting interest for the network. On Tuesday, Times media reporter Benjamin Mullin poured on the sympathy.

2025 marked a year of arguably unparalleled success for the NewsBusters team seeing as how, along with chronicling the best and worst in daily and long-term liberal media bias, we helped see to a successful conclusion a decades-long fight to defund National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS. As you’ll see below in our top-ten list of the most read stories, you’ll see NPR come up along with the major…

Our friend Ann McIlhinney sent a note to supporters on Thursday about the "mainstream media" campaigning for cancellations at the Trump-Kennedy Center. CNN and The Washington Post are looking (pushing) for pullouts.

In addition to being The View’s in-house legal expert (as a former federal prosecutor), co-host Sunny Hostin was the show’s most vocal social justice warrior and proponent of toxic woke ideology.

The show PBS News Weekend is nearly at an end, but no one will miss it if they were looking for hard-hitting journalism. Attaining a level of journalistic integrity only previously reached by Teen Beat magazine, Sunday’s show gushed over man-candy Mamdani’s “remarkable rise” to mayor with his campaign photographer, Kara McCurdy.

In a now viral dust up on Monday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, the audience’s favorite Republican commentator Scott Jennings exploded on leftist extremist Emma Vigeland of the so-called Majority Report, for her refusal to condemn Hamas while claiming Israel invaded Gaza like Russia invaded Ukraine. Jennings also called out host Abby Phillip for not allowing a debate against Vigeland’s…

On Monday's Morning Joe, MS NOW analyst and member of the New York Times editorial board Mara Gay claims that Somalis are being "scapegoated" over welfare-program fraud in Minnesota.

As the two oldest cast members of The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg (70) and fill-in moderator Joy Behar (83) hold a lot of sway and authority on the show and among their audience. And as such, ABC News had a special responsibility to ensure that their moderators were not hyperbolic or ridiculous. The guardrails came off in 2025. With the return of President Trump to the White House…

Did you ever notice the Hollywood Left is never guilty of hate speech? Unleashing your hatred on Donald Trump and his supporters is never subjected to “fact checking” and it’s never a reason to doubt the future of late-night “comedy.” Christian Toto of HollywoodInToto.com reviews the cultural landscape.
