President Trump's temporary takeover of law enforcement in DC caused an outburst of media protest, that somehow crime was at a "historic low" -- if you use bogus numbers. Plus to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NewsBusters, we remember some of the most outrageous examples of network nonsense with Geoffrey Dickens.

Some of the most hackish elements of the liberal media had pivoted to outright lying and denying that Washington, D.C. had a major crime and safety problem. That much was clear during Thursday’s Inside Politics on CNN as network correspondent Gabe Cohen attacked and scoffed at National Guard troops deployed to the district. He was joined by Axios contributor Margaret Talev who all but…

On Thursday morning, Time magazine released its latest cover dated September 8 with the lead story “The Meaning of Zohran Mamdani.” Predictably, the story by Mark Chiusano was as mind-numbingly stupid and weak-kneed as a profile of Barack Obama in the mid-2000s. Chiusano called him “very eloquent,” “fun,” and “more gifted than almost any of his peers,” and facing “adulation” plus “…

MSNBC’s freakout over the Trump Administration’s plans for the Smithsonian Institute continued on Wednesday’s All In as Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. asserted that the nation is in the midst of a “Second Lost Cause” movement that seeks to justify “the reassertion of white supremacy.”

Morning Joe says that with his moves to bolster crime-fighting in DC with federal agents, a skillful President Trump has set a "trap" for Democrats. Oppose Trump's moves at their peril. Joe Scarborough says that Dems make a mistake by opposing Trump's moves by citing statistics purporting to show that crime is down in DC. He says the reality is that an overwhelming majority of DC residents,…

Former CNN host Jim Acosta hates conspiracy theories unless, of course, he happens to be the one peddling them. On his Tuesday Substack podcast, Acosta mused, without evidence, that the Trump Administration could send ICE to polling stations to intimidate Latinos into not voting.

Proving why defunding PBS was a great thing for America, on Wednesday, Firing Line host Margaret Hoover appeared on CNN’s The Lead and laughed after hearing conservative commentator Scott Jennings recount watching a man get murdered right in front of him in Washington, D.C.’s Union Station. Hoover went on to decry President Trump’s effort to crackdown on the out-of-control…

In what is now a clear and unmistakable pattern, the legacy evening newscasts have suppressed any mention of the latest release of formerly classified documents related to the Russia Hoax by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The latest release further exposes a media favorite.

Politico senior editor Michael Schaffer suggests something is wrong with Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for not acting more confrontational. You can get a hint of that attitude from the title of his Wednesday article, "Donald Trump Took Over DC’s Police. Why Is the City’s Mayor So Zen?"

NBC’s Seth Meyers appeared torn on Wednesday’s Late Night between trying to argue that conservative talking points about crime in big cities are false and that, actually, it is red states that have a crime problem. To justify such a conclusion, Meyers appeared totally unaware that you can have a blue city inside of a red state.

Here is a chronological list of just some of the most absurd and obnoxious outbursts of leftist bias caught by NewsBusters over the last 20 years!

Monday’s PBS News Hour mourned the death of Anas al-Sharif, covering the war in Gaza for the anti-semitic Arab network Al-Jazeera, who was killed along other journalists by an Israeli drone. Foreign affairs reporter Nick Schifrin played along with the rest of the gullible press, portraying Anas, revealed by Israeli intelligence as an undercover Hamas operative, as a hero despite…

“Politics is downstream from culture”, we were often told by the late, great Andrew Breitbart. And I often wonder what he’d think about the legacy media as they cover President Donald Trump’s efforts to leave his own mark on that equation. If NBC’s coverage about this year’s Kennedy Center Honors is any indication, then Trump may have succeeded.

Tuesday night on his show On Balance, NewsNation host Leland Vittert lambasted progressives and their media allies dismissing concerns about crime in Washington D.C. by invoking President Trump’s role in the events of January 6, 2021 as a way to shutdown debate, calling it a “playbook” hell bent on “hijack[ing]” debate to “something four years ago that has absolutely nothing to do…
