MSNBC, CNN Can't Find Morning News of Rush's Death
Love Rush Limbaugh or hate him, it is undeniable that he was a huge, transformative media figure. If there was ever a more impactful conservative media voice, this NewsBusters can't think of who it might be. And yet, incredibly, despicably, neither MSNBC's Morning Joe nor CNN's New Day devoted any time to a discussion of Rush's passing. On New Day, the blackout was absolute. The word "Rush"…
DEFUND NPR: Liberal Gates Foundation Gave $4,000,000 to NPR in 2020

On CNN's New Day, co-host John Berman says Nikki Haley doesn't deserve a Profile in Courage for her criticism of President Trump's post-election "I won big" routine, as reported in a Politico article.

House Democrat Trashes Trump's Right Against Self-Incrimination
On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC Sunday Show, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NYC) argues that President Trump's declining to testify should seen as "incriminating."

WHAT?! MSNBC’s Ruhle Wails: Media Holding Biden to ‘Unfair Standard’
On her 9:00 a.m. ET hour show Wednesday, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle actually fretted that she and her left-wing media cohorts were somehow holding President Biden to an “unfair standard” by asking whether the White House was being sufficiently bipartisan in COVID relief bill negotiations.

MSNBC & CNN Gush Over Biden/GOP Meeting: 'Political Unicorn'
Who cares if Joe Biden was just joshing when he said he wanted to govern in a bipartisan way? At least he didn't curse out Mitt Romney and Susan Collins when he met with them and other Republican senators at the White House yesterday. Ain't Joe wonderful? Unlike that other guy whose name shall not be mentioned. That was the gist of the coverage on MSNBC and CNN this morning regarding the White…
Mika Coddles George Conway on Lincoln Project/Weaver Sex Scandal
Morning Joe's pretense of journalism hit an abysmal new low today as Mika Brzezinski pretended to question George Conway about the sex scandal engulfing his Lincoln Project, saying she'd be "remiss" if she didn't.

Is Modern Media More Biased Than Before?
There is a perception, supported by many surveys, that what passes for contemporary journalism is more biased, even propagandistic, than in earlier times. One of the definitions of "journalism" on Dictionary.com will affirm that attitude for many: "writing that reflects superficial thought and research, a popular slant, and hurried composition..."
