The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, released findings in March that showed a rise of 149% in reported anti-Asian American hate crimes from 2019 to 2020. PolitiFact wrote: “The report doesn’t mention former President Donald Trump. However, it does show that Google searches found spikes for racist terms such as ‘China virus’ and ‘Kung…

The White House Briefing Room returned to full capacity for Monday’s Psaki Show and with that, Trump era carnival barkers such as Breakfast Media’s Andrew Feinberg, Playboy’s Brian Karem and The Grio’s April Ryan made sure to have seats. Along with fellow far-left reporter Yamiche Alcindor of PBS, they bashed former President Trump and trumpeted the disastrous For the People Act.

A New York Times “Covid News” update by Isabella Grullón Paz posted Friday reported that Florida will become the first state to no longer update its COVID-19 dashboard and cease its daily reporting on cases, deaths and vaccinations. With cases decreasing in the state, it will post weekly updates instead. 

For over a year, journalists told us the possibility that Covid started in a lab was ridiculous and that it had been "debunked." Now a lot of these same reporters are desperately trying to spin their past statements. 

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki continued on Friday afternoon to show an aversion to discussing the thousands of published e-mails from Dr. Tony Fauci, repeatedly declining to elaborate on them during Friday’s press briefing. Speaking to Fox’s Peter Doocy, Psaki insisted that, while Fauci can speak for himself, the Biden administration “wouldn’t stand by” while “attacks” are “launched”…

While NBC’s Today show on Friday finally discovered the controversy swirling around Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails from the early days of the pandemic in which he and his colleagues dismissed the possibility of COVID-19 leaking from a Wuhan lab in China, the broadcast touted his defense that the exchanges were “ripe for being taken out of context.” The network worried that Fauci was “…

Happy Friday NewsBusters readers! Today’s edition of the NewsBusters podcasts holds a special treat for listeners. With executive editor Tim Graham away on a well-deserved summer vacation, the NewsBusters night crew has been left in charge! That’s right, managing editor Curtis Houck and I will be manning the helm for the next couple of weeks.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is under renewed scrutiny after a Freedom of Information Act released thousands of his emails from the early days of the pandemic, raising questions about Fauci’s cozy relationship with China and conflicting messaging on masks, among other controversies. But Fauci’s friends at The View refused to criticize the public figure, and attacked Republicans, instead.

A day after not one reporter called on during Wednesday’s White House press briefing brought up newly-released e-mails from Dr. Tony Fauci, three reporters stepped up on Thursday’s episode to ask Press Secretary Jen Psaki about the damning e-mails from the early days of the coronavirus pandemic and, on a related note, investigating the origins of the virus in Wuhan.

You don't see that too often. Someone actually demanded answers from Anthony Fauci. The doctor joined the hosts of Morning Joe to discuss the emails that were leaked yesterday. To say he dodged these questions is an understatement.

So much for the facts. A U.K.-based fact-checking outlet financed by liberal billionaire George Soros tried as early as February 2020, to swat down the idea that COVID-19 had leaked from a laboratory in communist China.

All three morning shows on Thursday were given interview time with CDC Director Doctor Rochelle Walensky, yet only ABC’s Good Morning America bothered to commit journalism and ask about the possibility that the coronavirus originated in a Wuhan lab. NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning skipped the subject of whether the media has been wrong for a year in dismissing the…

On Wednesday night, NewsNation fill-in host and former Fox News correspondent Leland Vittert did what few national news outlets have done in subjecting the NIH’s Dr. Tony Fauci to a challenging interview. In this case, he focused on this week’s dump of thousands of Fauci e-mails from the early days of the coronavirus pandemic that showed a woeful lack of judgement, distrust of masks, and an…

Thanks to the use of the Freedom of Information Act, the American people gained access this week to thousands of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s e-mails and revelations that he knew the National Institutes of Health may have funded gain-of-function research for coronaviruses, that COVID-19 may have come from a lab, and that masks didn’t work. And in an attempt to cover up the truth, ABC’s World News…
