Wednesday saw what appeared to be signs of a breakthrough in negotiations between President Biden and congressional Republicans on lifting the debt ceiling and preventing default on the national debt. While reporting on that news, ABC’s World News Tonight senior White House correspondent Mary Bruce sought to remind viewers at home that Republicans are “demanding steep spending cuts”…

Being a frequent NewsBusters reader and/or a trip to our taxonomy term for ABC chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce would give one the impression that Bruce is little more than a doormat for the Biden administration and loyally delivering the day’s preferred spin. Such was the case on Tuesday’s Good Morning America as she enthusiastically spun for President Biden on the border…

On Tuesday, the big three evening news broadcasts rediscovered the Biden border crisis that seems to be getting worse as the Trump-era border policy called Title 42 was nearing its end. Illustrating how front and center this news story was, both ABC's World News Tonight and CBS Evening News led with the deteriorating conditions at the southern border and noted that the flood…

Another day, another sub-par performance from the incompetent Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) during Thursday's White House press briefing in which Jean-Pierre struggled through basic questions ranging from the recent IRS whistleblower in the Hunter Biden tax fraud investigation to the looming fight over the debt ceiling. Each time, KJP mumbled her way through the briefing. Even her…

NBC Today hosts Peter Alexander and Kristen Welker welcomed recently expelled Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones on to the Saturday show by putting the ball on the tee for him to routinely denounce Republicans as racist for his role in shutting down legislative proceedings with a bullhorn.

On Thursday’s White House press conference, the incompetent Karine Jean-Pierre once again used National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby as a crutch by letting him brief the members of the White House press corps for nearly the entire time. The topic of the day was the conveniently timed release of the Biden regime’s post-mortem on the disastrous withdrawal…

On Thursday, President Biden unveiled his budget proposal for the 2024 fiscal year and the three liberal news networks reacted exactly the way you would have guessed: they ate it up. This is despite the fact that Biden's proposed budget would spend a jaw-dropping 6.8 trillion dollars and would tax Americans who invest in the stock market on unrealized gains for the first time in American…

On Monday night, the three evening network broadcasts went ga-ga over President Biden's "historic" trip to Ukraine. Each of the three networks (ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, & NBC Nightly News) got weak-kneed over the trip and made no snide comments or said anything at all negative about Biden or his Ukraine visit. This is in stark contrast to how…

The evening network broadcasts drooled all over themselves getting weak-kneed over President Biden’s 2023 State of the Union address on Wednesday evening, describing it as “fiery” and touting Biden getting out on the road to lobby for what’s left of his agenda. Simultaneously the three liberal networks scolded Congressional Republicans for what they dishonestly described as “anger-fueled…

On Thursday morning, NBC’s Today rediscovered Hunter Biden’s “much talked about laptop” (which in of itself is comical for an liberal outlet to assert) in order to trumpet Hunter’s “aggressive new legal strategy” to force his father’s Justice Department and Delaware law enforcement to open criminal investigations of those that shared and promoted its contents, which resulted in “a…

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brought in National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby Wednesday afternoon to serve as a crutch amid weeks of hardballs on the Biden classified documents scandal and, sure enough, Kirby ended up exposing Jean-Pierre’s repetitive, tiresome answers by actually providing general explanations for why handling…

On Friday, NewsBusters looked at the past decade of broadcast network coverage of the March for Life and found 25 minutes and 50 seconds from 2013 to 2022 (with over half coming from 2017). For 2023, the total clocked out at six minutes and 52 seconds on their flagship Friday night and Saturday morning news programs, but it all came from CBS and NBC. ABC’s World News Tonight and…
