NY Times 'News Analysis' RIPS 'Hard Right' GOP 'Wrecking-Ball Caucus'
New York Times chief Washington correspondent Carl Hulse’s coverage of the fight in Congress over a government shutdown versus conservative insistence that federal spending must be reduced given the national debt has now surpassed $33 trillion. Hulse ignored that in favor of several stories painting Republicans as nihilistic extremists. (Hulse reliably sides with Democrats in Capitol…
Don’t Care: AP Frets to KJP That Joe Got New COVID Booster in Private
As the liberal media hawk the latest COVID-19 booster shot and begin their latest fear-mongering campaign ahead of the holidays, the Associated Press’s Will Weissert served as the standard bearer during Monday’s White House press briefing as he opened the Q&A for the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by fretting that President Biden didn’t get his umpteenth booster in public.…
Budget Gimmicks: D.C. Labels Everything an ‘Emergency’ to Spend More
Did you survive the budget cuts from the last debt ceiling fight? President Joe Biden called them “draconian,” while Republicans praised the deal’s “historic reductions in spending.” But both parties conned us, as my new video explains. What they call “cuts” were just a reduction in their planned spending increase. Instead of raising spending by 7.8%, they increased it by “only” 3.9%. Only…
NY Times ID’s Shady Sen. Menendez as a Dem…When It Fits the Narrative?
Perennially shady Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez (NJ) was indicted on bribery charges Friday, and the partisan labeling by the New York Times has been unpredictable, sometimes aggressively identifying him as a Democrat senator, sometimes ignoring the D. Times reporter Glenn Thrush had the audacity to see a silver lining for the Biden DOJ in this new indictment, exemplified…
KJP Lets Doocy Ask About the Border a Day After Shutting Him Down
A day after the ever-inept White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre bizarrely called on Fox’s Peter Doocy and then almost immediately moved on when he was visibly unamused by her spin on the border crisis, Jean-Pierre only somewhat owned up to her nonsense Friday and let Doocy press her on the latest flare-up in Texas.
CBS Downplays New Senate Dress Code, Ignores Fetterman’s Mental State
On Friday’s CBS Mornings during the “Talk of the Table” segment, they came through with the first broadcast network news show coverage of the Senate dress code change in order to accommodate the mentally and physically incapacitated Senator John Fetterman (D-PA). And, instead of focusing on how the former was made to baby the ladder, the CBS crew laughed about opposition to axing a…
NYT Puts Protective Cloak Over Slob Sen. Fetterman, Hits 'Hard-Right'
New York Times congressional correspondent Annie Karni thought she had a good “gotcha” in response to Republican criticism of the Senate’s new relaxed dress code, imposed by Majority Leader Sen. Charles Schumer (NY), in response to a fellow Democrat’s insistence in showing up on the Senate floor dressed like a slob in defiance of Senate rules. In Wednesday’s “For Some Senators, New…
Massie Slams AG Garland’s ‘Mafia Tactics’ Against Musk
A defiant Attorney General Merrick Garland stumbled over his words Wednesday when faced with tough questions about his alleged targeting of X owner Elon Musk.
Column: 'Public Broadcasting' Bored Silly by Republican Hearings
Attorney General Merrick Garland offered a “fiery defense” in a “grueling hearing” of a House Judiciary Committee “stocked with far-right stalwarts,” as The New York Times described it. A special bucket of opprobrium should go to what they call “public broadcasting,” PBS and NPR. On the PBS NewsHour, they could barely manage a two-minute story on the Garland hearing.
Predictably Lame ABC Blasts ‘Hardline’ GOP on Possible Gov’t Shutdown
Anytime there’s the possibility of a government shutdown, one can count on the liberal media to throw hissy fits blaming Republicans as wanting to leave the elderly financially broke, kids starved of preschool, and/or Big Bird killed to name a few of the usual scare tactics. ABC’s Good Morning America wrote another chapter Wednesday in that never-ending act of liberal media bias as…
SLOBS UNITE! Whoopi Cheers Dems Dumbing Down Dress Code for Fetterman
ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg found herself the odd one out during Tuesday’s edition of The View; as the rest of the table largely didn’t support Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) dumbing down the Capitol Hill dress code so that John Fetterman (D-PA) could ditch a suit and appear on the Senate floor looking like a slob in work out attire. She proclaimed the dress code…
PBS Plays Judge and Jury for Biden: ‘We Have Established…No Evidence’
On the latest edition of PBS’s weekly political journalist roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, guest host Laura Barron-Lopez (a familiar face here at NewsBusters) set the tone right from the show’s introduction, of desperate Republicans hurling unsubstantiated accusations against the wall: "House Republicans in disarray.... Speaker Kevin McCarthy opens an impeachment inquiry…
NY Times Smears Impeachment Inquiry: It's to 'Appease Far-Right' Pols
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's opening of a Biden impeachment inquiry was treated with maximum cynicism on the front page of The New York Times. The labeling began right in the headline and lead sentence of Wednesday’s front-page story. This was all about "appeasing far-right lawmakers" who might remove McCarthy from his job. That's now how the paper covered the first Trump…
PBS on Biden Impeachment News:'Far-Right' GOP's Unsubstantiated Claims
Tuesday's PBS NewsHour ran two segments on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, extending the ongoing investigations by congressional Republicans into the president’s possible involvement in his son’s business dealings. The supposedly objective tax-supported outlet showered McCarthy with “far-right” labels. A favored phrase of the…
