CBS: Trump ‘at War With Scientists,' ‘Fighting the Science’

CBS This Morning journalists on Thursday used the most hyperbolic language possible as they weighed in on Donald Trump’s dispute with his CDC Director over the timing of a COVID vaccine.

California Scheming? NY Times Uses Fires to Burn Trump’s 2020 Chances

New York Times reporters dealt with the deadly state of wildfires in California on Monday’s front page, but used it solely as a cudgel with which to bash President Trump, in two front-page stories: “Trump, a Bold Climate Denier, Confronts a Charred California" and “Spurred By Fires, Trump and Biden Clash On Climate."

Dangerous! ABC Helps Biden Spread Fear About COVID Vaccine

On Tuesday's CNN Tonight show, during a discussion of the ABC News town hall with President Donald Trump, host Don Lemon and contributor David Swerdlick tried to portray the President's "Make America Great Again" slogan as a racist dog whistle, suggesting he wants to take the country back to times of oppression against African Americans.

Facebook Purges Ad Saying Pro-Trans Biden Would Destroy Girls’ Sports

An ad that was part of the conservative PAC American Principles Project’s (APP PAC) $4 million campaign was labeled “missing context and could mislead people” by Facebook fact-checkers. NBC News wrote that the video, titled “Not Fair,” would not be allowed to run as a paid advertisement after Politifact fact-checked the video on Sept. 15.

NB Podcast: Stephanopoulos vs. Trump Town Hall, with Curtis Houck

In this week's scintillating installment of the NewsBusters podcast, executive editor Tim Graham discusses the phoniness of the "town hall" format, when networks carefully screen so-called "uncommitted voters" and then carefully pre-screen their questions, which makes it feel like a scripted event, not a free-wheeling talk with the people. Managing editor Curtis Houck joins the podcast to…

When the Trump campaign moved a rally indoors in Las Vegas this weekend, reporters mostly refused to attend, leaving the job to the White House press pool. In a report from George Condon in National Journal, ABC White House reporter Jon Karl took his corona-panic to an extreme metaphor: “This is not like embedding with the Marines in Fallujah,” he said. “It is like you are taking your…

Trump Camp Official Confronts CNN on Rights of Rally Attendees

ABC/NBC Spike ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Protests Leaving $2 Billion in Damages

For months now, the liberal media have been downplaying and, in many cases, lying about the widespread violence and destruction caused by Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Calling them “mostly peaceful protests,” so-called journalists like MSNBC’s Ali Velshi and CNN’s Omar Jimenez would stand in full view of burning buildings and claims things were “not, generally speaking, unruly,” and “fiery…

Watch McEnany Call Out WH Press for ZERO Questions About Peace Deal

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany closed out Wednesday’s briefing with a short yet stinging rebuke of the press corps for having failed to ask a single question about Tuesday’s Abraham Accords, which wouldn’t have been the case if it were brokered and signed during the Obama administration.

If there was any remaining doubt that Univision is an activist organization with a broadcast signal, Univision’s D.C. correspondent Edwin Pitti may have completely obliterated it.
