STUDY: The ‘News’ on ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS

If you want traditional “hard news,” the best place to find it may still be one of the Big Three evening newscasts, where more than 70 percent of the typical broadcast fits the definition of old-fashioned reporting.

STUDY: Actual News Is Hard to Find on Today’s Cable ‘News’

Less than one-fourth (22.3%) of what is aired on cable news could be classified as old-fashioned hard news — just-the-facts reporting or live as-it-happens coverage of an unfolding event.

NewsBusters Podcast: Liberals Want News That Oozes 'Everything's Fine'

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we begin with the question: when the news heavily suggests that everything is fine in America, what's missing from the news?

Scarborough Lectures Vietnamese Refugee on Saigon, NBCer Fires Back

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough made a fool out of himself on Sunday (he wasn’t even on his show) after tweeting an image of The New York Times Sunday Review front page comparing the fall of Kabul to the fall of Saigon.

Facebook Report Undermines NY Times Attacks on Conservative Content

A new Facebook report proved the @FacebooksTop10 daily list of 10 most-engaged link posts each day is wildly misleading, given that posts with the most views got far more engagement than posts on the list.
