CRINGE: CBS Compared Ukraine’s Independence to Kid Running Away

Well that didn’t age well. Over 30 years ago, CBS compared newly independent states in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union to annoying brats running away from home.

Pelosi PAC Claims 'CNN Just Revealed' Rubio's 'In Danger' (Not True)

I just received a fundraising email from Nancy Pelosi's PAC headlined "CNN just admitted" claiming Marco Rubio was in political danger. CNN "just revealed he's "in danger of losing." But nobody on CNN "just revealed" such a thing. The last poll has Rubio up 12. It turns out it's a CNN.com list from seven weeks ago on CNN.com that said Rubio "starts as the favorite."

Stewart BUSTS Media's 'Jail-Gasm' Over Mueller, Perverse Incentives

As NewsBusters previously reported, comedian Jon Stewart dedicated an entire episode of his Apple TV show, The Problem With Jon Stewart to how the media overplayed their hand with the Mueller report and filled their coverage with “bulls***,” and effectively turned it into a “noose-tightened, closed-walled, family-style jail-gasm.” But there was more to the show as he brought on media insiders…

Dealing With the Iranian Devil

When one sits down to make a deal with the devil, it is the devil who usually wins. That’s because he is “crafty,” as the book of Genesis describes him. The United States and Iran appear on the cusp of a deal that President Biden and his diplomats claim will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in the short term.
