In one of the few appearances of a conservative on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, National Review editor Rich Lowry confronted and dispelled the disinformation host Chuck Todd and his liberal panelists were spewing against pro-life laws in South Carolina and around the country. He also gave advice to Republicans on how to run on it during the midterms.

New York Times Health and Science reporter Andrew Jacobs made the August 24 edition with a ridiculous and ideologically diseased story on monkeypox, “Racism, Stigma and Fear: Why Experts Want Monkeypox Renamed." Jacobs worked overtime, reaching back a half century to make “monkeypox” a racist term, even bringing in a conservative hero: "Such racist sentiments haven’t entirely faded. President…

On Tiffany Cross's show, MSNBC regular Elie Mystal was back at his rhetorical bomb-throwing worst. Discussing the Mar-a-Lago raid, Mystal pouted re Trump: "why ain't this dude in jail?" Mystal accused Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner of "being on the grift," and wondered "what they are willing to sell [highly-classified information] for?" And Mystal claimed that the feds have been slow to go…

More liberal turnabout in the New York Times, as economics editor Deborah B. Solomon appeared in Wednesday’s Business section to defend yet another government agency from conservative “conspiracy theories,” this time the intrusive Internal Revenue Service: “I.R.S. to Conduct Security Review Amid Threats Agency and Staff.”

Two stories, same problem. There is out there in the media world and today’s mania for podcasts something called The Podcast Movement, which identifies itself as “The World’s Largest Community of Podcasters.” As this is written, the Podcasters are having a conference of thousands of their podcast brethren in Dallas, Texas. Then — are you buckled in — a devastating event occurred. Conservative…

CNN Newsroom host Jim Acosta and CNN fact checker Daniel Dale asked on Saturday what might be the most important question of the 2022 midterms: does Sen. Raphael Warnock have a dog? Or, more specifically, is his Republican opponent Herschel Walker lying about him lying about having a dog?

It’s newsworthy when a comedian takes a stand against Cancel Culture. The most vocal opponents include Adam Carolla, Ricky Gervais, Joe Rogan, John Cleese and Rob Schneider. Trevor Noah is finally speaking out on the subject. And, on the surface, it sounds like he wants to join the ranks of Cleese, Gervais and co. Not so fast. The host of the low-rated Daily Show, talking to Variety’s “Awards…

MSNBC’s Katie Phang was one of several blue checks who fell for a hoax about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday but, instead of apologizing for that on her Saturday show, she blamed DeSantis’s “dangerous statements” for creating a dangerous environment. Together with Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, the duo would also condemn Democratic gubernatorial nominee Charlie Crist for being too…

Given what we now know about Matt Lauer and his creepy office with an automatic door lock, his  August 21, 2000 Today interview with Al Gore looks weirder in retrospect. It was 22 years ago this week that the now-disgraced ex-NBC host obsessed over “the kiss” between the then-Vice President and his then-wife Tipper Gore at the 2000 Democratic National Convention: “You really planted one on Mrs…

HBO Real Time host Bill Maher condemned the media for suppressing the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the runup to the 2020 presidential election and grew frustrated with actor, filmmaker, and left-wing activist Rob Reiner tried to deflect the conversation to January 6 and defend the media.

Morning Joe is surprisingly skeptical of Biden's student loan forgiveness program. Much of the criticism aired focused on the unfairness of the plan, which helps people who have gone deep into college debt, while doing nothing for those who didn't go to college, or who saved to go to college or went to less expensive schools.

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I examine the media's scattered coverage of President Biden's constitutionally dubious student loan bailouts as different factions voice outrage. We also speak with NewsBusters research director Scott Whitlock about the lack of coverage of the anniversary of the botch withdrawal from Afghanistan, which killed 13…

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned Americans on Friday that more pain was on the way as they tried to float President Biden’s sinking economy. And on CNN’s At This Hour, White House correspondent John Harwood flashed a sadistic streak, boosting the administration’s argument that all the pain and anxiety Americans were being subjected to was really for their own benefit down the line…

“Trust the science,” say the media. Polls show that fewer Americans do. There's good reason for that. “They don't trust science because science is increasingly untrustworthy,” says science writer Andrew Follet in my new video. “The only group that trusts science right now is Democrats.” Sixty-four percent of Democrats have “a great deal” of confidence in the scientific community, compared to…
