Poor Hunter! Networks SAD About Hunter's Plea Deal Falling Apart
To paraphrase the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld: No plea deal for you! Sorry, Hunter!

On Wednesday evening, the big three evening news broadcasts had the sads over Hunter’s…

NBC Ignores Federal Judge Blocking Biden's Asylum Policy
The Biden administration faced yet another defeat in the courts Tuesday when a federal judge blocked a major piece of Biden’s immigration policy.

Nets Out for Blood Trying to End ‘Bleeding,’ ‘Struggling’ DeSantis
For the second straight news cycle Monday night and Tuesday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued using their flagship morning and evening newscasts to suffocate with a pillow the campaign of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), insisting his “struggling” effort has “plummet[ing] support” to go along with “bleeding cash” and not “met expectations” as he’s being “crush[…

Teamwork: NBC Cheers Biden Trashing GOPer in Softball From CNN Fangirl
The liberal media were in lockstep Thursday reacting to President Biden’s trip to the Balkans this week, playing up the laudatory successes of NATO but downplaying/ignoring his gaffes and working in concert to frame Republicans as extreme.

ABC, CBS Move on From Cocaine Story, NBC Devotes Just 41 Seconds
Despite a new update Thursday in the ongoing "cocainegate" scandal in which a small bag of cocaine was left inside with West Wing of the White House in a different location than was originally reported, ABC's World News Tonight and CBS Evening News both lost interest in the story, while NBC Nightly News only managed to dedicate 41 seconds during their evening…

During Thursday’s edition of NBC Nightly News, anchor Lester Holt and correspondent Antonia Hylton worried that the backlash against teachers who insist on speaking to their students about LGBTQ issues are quitting in record numbers and causing a teacher shortage.

Nets Gloat Over SCOTUS Striking Down GOP Congressional Maps in Alabama
On Thursday, the Supreme Court struck down Alabama’s congressional map on the basis that it was a violation of the 1964 Voting Rights Act.

As was expected, the three evening news broadcasts gloated over the ruling…

Nets HAIL Trans Lefty Saying Opposing Them Means ‘Blood on Your Hands’
Wednesday’s broadcast networks brought the first batch of broadcast network stories trashing the push to protect women and girls from biological men and children from medical castration by the Montana state legislature and cheering the latest leftist hooliganism.

Disney-Owned ABC WHINES Florida ‘Expanded the Don’t Say Gay Bill’
Acting on behalf of its parental overlords in Ron DeSantis-hating Disney, ABC’s Good Morning America ran a 62-second segment Thursday trashing the Florida Republican governor’s Board of Education for having “expanded the Don't Say Gay bill” that “critics warn...is dangerous” to the lives of students. ABC had a helping hand as Wednesday’s NBC Nightly News also bemoaned the…

NewsBusters Podcast: Magically Delirious Coverage of Biden in Ireland
President Biden's trip to his ancestral homeland of Ireland spurred a festive round of positive coverage from the networks. They ignored his gaffes and celebrated his Irish heritage. This is nothing like the way they viciously covered "Mitt the Twit" Romney in London in 2012.

Nets Bemoan GOP Ousting Tennessee Dem Over Lack of Decorum
On Thursday afternoon, the Tennessee legislature voted to oust three Democrat members of the state’s House of Representatives due to them instigating an insurrection earlier in the week over the left’s demand that the legislative body passes a gun control bill.

In January, NewsBusters noted that far-left New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s sudden resignation caused the big three news networks in the United States to get weak knees over what they described her as an “empathetic” leader, an “inspiration”, a “pioneer” and "trailblazer" for her authoritarian tenure in office. On Wednesday, NBC Nightly News used the last segment of the…
