MSNBC Cues Pelosi to Spew Trump 'Hoax' Lie, Claim Trump 'Cost Lives'

MSNBC ducked out of the Friday night briefing for a typical DNC-style softball interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Republicans get the third degree, Democrats get the "What would you like to say about that?" Melber started by asking Pelosi to "walk us through" what's going on with the small-business loan program that's running out of funds. Then Melber cued up the Speaker to lie that the…

Media Are Still Peddling One of the Great Myths of the Depression

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld once cautioned newcomers to learn from those who held the same positions before. “Try to make original mistakes rather than needlessly repeating theirs,” he said. Harry Kazianis should have taken Rumsfeld’s advice before writing this annoying paragraph on April 2: "The rapidly worsening pandemic is shaping up as the defining challenge of the Trump…

Conflict of Interest: 'Queer Nerd' NBC Reporter Supports LGBT Lawsuits

Encouraged by media supporters, this week LGBT legal guns went to court to launch legal proceedings aimed at re-defining gender. They filed suit against two new Idaho laws banning transgender males from competing on women's public school teams and from changing their gender on their birth certificates. There was little neutrality visible in media accounts of the lawsuits, particularly with the…

PBS NewsHour Finally Discusses Sexual-Assault Charge Against Biden

On Friday night, more than three weeks after Tara Reade shared her allegation that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her on Capitol Hill in 1993, the PBS NewsHour arrived on the story by interviewing reporter Lisa Lerer, one of the authors of the belated New York Times piece on Reade. Lerer couldn't spin quickly enough away from any comparison of the Biden allegations to the unsubstantiated rape…

Acosta, Blitzer TRASH Americans Weary of Lockdowns, Cover for Lefties

Liberal media elites sure don’t seem to have a problem with life-crippling stay-at-home orders stretching through 2020 into 2021 and 2022, do they? On Friday’s Situation Room, CNN host Wolf Blitzer and chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta griped about how President Trump would not only acknowledge the mental toll that they’ve taken on the American people, but not denouncing those voicing…

CW Drama: Priest Justifies Sex With Parishioner, 'We're Only Human'

'The Blacklist' Criminalizes Gun Manufacturers

The only thing less fun than being stuck in shutdown is being stuck in shutdown with shows like The Blacklist. The latest episode of the NBC drama not only lectures us about gun issues but does so through the mouths of criminals. What else can we expect after the show’s last grisly attempt at addressing political issues?

NYTimes Sudden Respect for Michael Savage – Tearing Down Rush, Hannity

Friday’s New York Times offered its “strange new respect” to perhaps its most unlikely recipient of all: Right-wing radio host Michael Savage, now a medical expert. Savage has been criticized  for his sometimes-vulgar on-air shock-jockery. But now that he’s shifted targets, and using his epidemiology-related degrees to attack his “uneducated” conservative rivals Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity…

Blitzer, Friedman: Mentally Ill Trump Will Cause More COVID-19 Deaths

On Friday, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer illustrated why, if he were still a journalist of decency, facts, and integrity, he wouldn’t have gone about an interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman the way he did. Instead, Blitzer wondered if President Trump would be to blame for deaths of Americans who have protested economically, mentally, and physically crippling stay-at-home…

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace: Trump Tweeting 'Like a Punk' While People Die

Who's the worst emitter of liberal media bias and Trump hatred on MSNBC? Rachel Maddow? Joy Reid? Fuggedaboutit. When it comes to the most hideous Trump hater on MSNBC, nobody comes close to former Republican, failed McCain campaign official, and Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace, in the opinion of this NewsBuster. On her show Friday afternoon, Wallace accused President Trump of…

Alyssa Milano Blames ‘Most F-ked Up Prez Ever’ for Lockdown Protests

Another set of Trump tweets, another Alyssa Milano meltdown. It just never gets old, does it? As part of his campaign to get the United States of America to reopen from quarantine in the coming months, Mr. Trump, as he always does, made slogan-style tweets urging various states to “liberate” themselves from coronavirus lockdown. Right on cue, insane lefties like Alyssa jumped to accuse the…
