The New York Times ran an odd front-page story on Wednesday: A profile of 80’s-era NYC “subway vigilante” Bernie Goetz, “The Subway Vigilante We’re Still Talking About,” by business reporter David Segal based on two upcoming books about the infamous case. Two books are being released about the Goetz case, “Five Bullets” by Elliot Williams and “Fear and Fury” by Heather Ann Thompson.…

Monday marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a national holiday honoring a man best remembered for urging Americans to judge one another by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. It is a legacy rooted in a specific historical struggle -- one that culminated in the Civil Rights Act after years of fierce resistance, largely from Southern Democrats, to dismantling Jim…

Hyper-attuned to liberal sensitivities, Sunday’s New York Times featured race-beat reporter Clyde McGrady’s story “After Renee Good’s Killing, Some Conservatives Scorn Liberal Women.” The online headline: “After Renee Good Killing, Derisive Term for White Women Spreads on the Far Right -- Vocal Trump supporters are demonizing Renee Good, her partner and their allies, with some even…

ABC’s The View celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by literally laughing at the idea that white people could be discriminated against in any way. While they were laughing at the notion and suggesting it wasn’t real, staunchly racist co-host Sunny…

Friday night’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS made a full-throated call for reparations for slavery in America, with host Christiane Amanpour putting the USA on a moral par with Syria -- two nations in need of overdue "reckoning with the past."

The trio of PBS News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart assembled on Friday to attack President Trump for allegedly using “overtly racist rhetoric” at a recent speech, but nobody cared to actually specify what they found so objectionable.

Google settled a racial bias lawsuit for $50 million. Merrill Lynch paid $20 million. Maryland taxpayers will have to pay $3 million to make a racial discrimination suit go away. “This is ridiculous! Taxpayers should not be on the hook for this!” complains Heather Mac Donald, author of “When Race Trumps Merit.” In our new video, she argues that companies and governments feel forced to pay…

On Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel Live! co-executive producer, co-head writer, and Kimmel’s wife, Molly McNearney, gave a speech at a Women In Entertainment event for The Hollywood Reporter that was a bizarre combination of outrageous and deeply weird. On everything from Kimmel’s suspension to immigration to abortion to racism, McNearney painted a dire picture of life in Trump’s America, but…

Former MSNBC host Krystal Ball joined foul-mothed and extremist I’ve Had It podcast co-host Jennifer Welch to whine about non-white ICE agents and female members of the second Trump administration. The episode, entitled …

MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow traveled over to CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday for a three-segment interview that concluded with her hyping her new podcast about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, which she and Colbert suggested is analogous to the present day.

We’ve got a new interactive series called Worst Media Take of the Week, where you — our loyal NewsBusters visitors and MRC supporters — get to vote on which leftist journalist or celebrity had the worst media take of the week. Much appreciation to all who voted last week via NewsBusters and the MRC’s various social media sites (Facebook, Instagram and X.com). The results of the Worst Media…

Sunny Hostin, the staunchly racist co-host of ABC News’s The Views, was on a roll this week between declaring on Monday’s show that America was “founded” on “racism and slavery;” then doubling down on Tuesday’s edition of their Behind the Table podcast, saying “this country still is sickened” with such things.

At 7:00 AM Eastern Time on Saturday, MSNBC officially rebranded to MS NOW, and before lunchtime it had already hurled its first Nazi comparison. The offending party was Prof. Jason Stanley, who told Ali Velshi that local police departments need to thwart ICE just like a local policeman thwarted the SA, or Brownshirts, during Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany.

Ubiquitous PBS presence, documentary director, and dogmatic liberal Ken Burns is making the media rounds for his latest upcoming 12-hour, six-episode epic The American Revolution, debuting on most PBS affiliate stations Sunday night. Burns spoke to Newsweek late last month about the project, codirected by Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt. If Burns' interviews reflect the doc’…
