Media Bias Debate

Tesla CEO Elon Musk correctly slammed NBC News for trying to bury the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Phony fact-checker PolitiFact tapped into all levels of Pravda to pretend that wasn’t true.

Morning Joe leads its show by mocking Donald Trump fumbling over the name of J.D. Vance, the candidate he has endorsed in the Ohio Republican Senate primary. But the show rarely if ever reports Biden's frequent gaffes.

Joseph Kahn is the new executive editor of the New York Times, replacing current editor Dean Baquet, who is retiring. Kahn was the paper’s Beijing bureau chief in the 2000s. Coverage of Baquet’s tenure avoided the paper’s left-wing woke meltdowns of recent years and even suggested the paper was annoying liberals. By contrast, New York Magazine compared the paper's recent…

Los Angeles Times television writer Stephen Battaglio profiled the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe -- Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist. The headline is certainly West Coast-snooty: “MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ tries to keep cable news smart while expanding to four hours.” The story’s premise – that Morning Joe plays it down the middle -- was just…

Between last Thursday and Friday, the left-leaning Atlantic magazine and the Democratic-connected Institute of Politics (IOP) of the University of Chicago held a conference to warn and find solutions to so-called “disinformation.” Following two viral moments with liberal speakers, NewsBusters reached out to Daniel Schmidt and Chris Phillips, who sparked said headlines with questions…

On Monday, The Blaze’s Carlos Garcia reported that “CNN’s media critic Brian Stelter was stunned when an expert brought on his network to discuss bias at Fox News also criticized CNN for left-wing bias,” during Sunday’s Reliable Sources. “Stelter interviewed two researchers from the University of California at Berkeley, who conducted a study where Fox News viewers were paid to watch CNN and…

The so-called “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference being put on by the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics and The Atlantic this week, has really proven to be unamenable to examining the liberal media’s disinformation and erosion of democracy in how they cover stories depending on the political affiliation of who gets hurt. And during a panel discussion on…

On Monday, The Daily Signal’s executive editor Rob Bluey conducted a podcast interview with Media Research Center President Brent Bozell about his career of holding the left-wing media accountable: “For 35 years, Brent Bozell has taken on the elites in media, Hollywood, and Big Tech. He’s built the Media Research Center into a powerhouse, created the Parents Television Council, aided…

To help ring in the first day of CNN+ on Tuesday, Reliable Sources Daily host Brian Stelter brought on CNN’s first two anchors Dave Walker and Lois Hart (a married couple) with the idea that they would tell some stories about the early days at the network and give advice to the hosts on their new streaming service. They did get some of that but oh man was it also embarrassing as…

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…

On March 17’s edition of The Problem With Jon Stewart, the comedian set his sights on the media as he spelled out how their outdated use of ratings coupled with perverse incentives were driving them into oblivion. And to make this point, Steward focused on how the media was addicted to the largest story of the Trump presidency: Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the…

On Wednesday, The Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan discussed a new interview she conducted with The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway about the corruption of the left-wing media: “How did corporate media become so biased and corrupt, and why isn’t it being held accountable? Corporate media exists ‘to support corrupt regimes,’ Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist, says.”…

It is usually Republicans who blast the media for what they consider biased or unfair coverage of their policies, but increasingly we are hearing Democrats engaging in the same behavior, apparently frustrated their agenda is not being embraced by some of their fellow Democrats and the public. Last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who has yet to stem rising crime as he promised to do,…

New York Times political reporter Jeremy Peters really can’t stand Fox News. In his new anti-Trump book Insurgency, the entire network is lambasted for feeding Trump’s fevered ego. Besides that, the liberal prude splutters, the morning show Fox & Friends is “three hours of sex and red meat….” When Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh reacted to Christine…
