PBS Accuses Trump of 'Vilifying' Transgender People

On PBS’s Friday edition of Amanpour and Company, guest host Bianna Golodryga didn’t bother to even pretend to care about journalistic standards as she interviewed the ACLU’s Chase Strangio about President Trump and red states allegedly “vilifying” transgender people.

Colbert's Christmas Cartoon Has Trump, ICE Arrest Santa

Every year, CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s final The Late Show episode before Christmas features a politically-inspired cartoon meant to make his liberal audience feel all warm and fuzzy inside. With liberals feeling extra sad this year, Thursday’s cartoon featured President Trump and various administration officials arresting Santa Claus and his elves only for them to turn the tables at the…

Brooks Claims 'Gigantic Portraits' Of Trump Remind Him Of Stalin, Mao

New York Times columnist and PBS News Hour talking head David Brooks loves himself some Stalin and Mao analogies. Back in May, he compared Elon Musk and DOGE to the murderous dictators. This Friday, he compared President Trump, the renaming of the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, and “gigantic portraits” of Trump to the communist tyrants and claimed it reminded him…

In a ranked-choice poll of more than 1,000 PolitiFact readers, the highest-ranking claim chosen as the year’s most serious falsehood went to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s July assertion of "no starvation" in Gaza. In other words, the "Gaza Health…

CNN's Bash Admits New Epstein Pix Have No Context But Leads With It

On Thursday, one day before the deadline for the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee were at it again, releasing 68 more photos from the Epstein estate. Remember, back on December 12th, the same Dems released their first batch of photos.

PBS: Family of Trans Teen Flees Texas, ‘Refugees in Their Own Country’

PBS News is still riding the wrecked and discredited transgender train. One would have hoped PBS would have hopped off given the increasing piles of evidence on the consequences of irrevocable “gender-affirming” operations, the lack of science backing up the emotional blackmail claims of the movement, and the departure of trans-obsessed reporter Laura Barron-Lopez for the proudly left-wing MS…

County Snubs ICE Detainer: Freed Illegal Alien Rearrested - for Murder

An illegal alien with a history of arrests, mental illness and apparent ties to MS-13 was arrested and charged with second-degree murder – just one day after an illegal sanctuary county chose to release him rather than honor a detainer request by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The View Went All of 2025 Without a ‘Legal Note,’ But They Were Needed

NewsBusters got under the skin of ABC’s The View when we did our first study counting their infamous “legal notes” (three dozen in one year), back in 2022. Over time, the study appeared to be so effective that the show had completely abandoned the practice. In 2025, The View had issued ZERO “legal notes.” But that doesn’t mean the notes weren’t sorely needed.

‘CBS Evening News’ Co-Anchors Sign Off with Trump Jab, Nod to Gaza

While nowhere near the absurdity of Brian Williams’s December 2021 sign-off from MSNBC, Thursday marked the final show for John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois as co-anchors of the CBS Evening News and with CBS News after less than a year of floundering ratings and questions about changing the newscast’s format. To cap off their last show, the pair went off by waxing poetic about “facts…

Networks Duck D.C.-Area Murder Allegedly by Illegal Freed by Soros DA

Between Wednesday night and Friday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC have shown zero interest in covering on their flagship newscasts a Wednesday murder in the Washington D.C. suburb of Reston, Virginia allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant who, in addition to being an MS-13 gang member, possesses a lengthy rapt sheet. And, thanks to a Soros-funded district…

NewsBusters Podcast: Networks Denounce Trump's 'Hyperpartisan' Speech

President Trump gave a prime-time address on the economy on Wednesday night, and the networks felt it was necessary to attack it, especially ABC. Jon Karl claimed he'd never heard a primetime speech that "was as defensive and hyperpartisan as this one." He certainly forgot Joe Biden's 2022 Philadelphia speech denouncing "MAGA Republicans" as endangering democracy.
