The View’s ‘Republican’ Guest Co-Host Flops When Asked About Values
With Alyssa Farah Griffin still out on maternity leave, Abby Huntsman was next in the parade of purportedly “conservative” and “Republican” guest co-hosts. On Thursday’s show, Huntsman was somehow tripped up by co-host Joy Behar who simply asked Huntsman to talk about one of her conservative values. Despite the value being dealer’s choice, Huntsman looked like a deer in the headlights and…
NBC Omits, ABC Barely Covers DISTURBING Turn in Bomb at Key U.S. Base
On Thursday, law enforcement and the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida announced charges against a brother and sister in the placement of a bomb at MacDill Air Force base, a key U.S. base amid the war in Iran as it’s home to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and U.S. Special Operations Command.

Kimmel Fails Damage Control Effort After Mocking Mullin As a Plumber
On Thursday, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel tried and largely failed to clean up his Tuesday remarks, where he declared Markwayne Mullin is not qualified to be secretary of Homeland Security because he used to be a plumber.

OMISSION: ABC, CBS, NBC Ignore Dem Congresswoman’s Ethics Trial

Deranged: Darcy Seems Committed to Seeing CBS’s Dokoupil, Weiss Fail
Status founder and former CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy took to his newsletter site Tuesday night for a psychotic tut-tutting over the supposed grave of CBS News under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil, claiming Weiss’s “catastrophic,” “turbulent” tenure’s “five-alarm fire” has “destroyed” the “trust” “smart” viewers have in the brand in…

MRC analysts reviewed the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news shows from February 11 (when the SAVE America Act passed the House) to the morning of March 26 and found the broadcast networks have mostly hidden any discussion of the bill, spending a tiny 247 seconds (or 4 minutes, 7 seconds) on it.
The View: Military Has Accomplished Nothing in Iran, Lectures Hegseth
The two cast members of ABC’s The View old enough to have protested American veterans returning from Vietnam, moderator Whoopi Goldberg (70) and Joy Behar (83) tapped into that anti-military hatred during Wednesday’s episode. While the latter was adamant that the U.S. military had “accomplished” nothing in Iran, the former suggested all they were doing was dying and lectured Secretary…
Curtis Houck Shreds Media for Cover-Up of Chicago’s ‘Laken Riley 2.0'
On Tuesday’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck joined host Scott Jennings to expose a familiar and infuriating pattern of media malpractice.

Kimmel: Mullin Unqualified To Be DHS Chief Because He Was a Plumber
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has a Hollywood elitist problem.

SHUTDOWN PROPAGANDA: ABC Shamelessly Tries to Pit TSA Against ICE
The DHS shutdown grinds on, with passengers standing interminable lines and missing flights as TSA agents go over a month without being paid. ABC News, in a weird report that serves little purpose, saw this as an opportunity to try to drive an internal wedge at DHS by questioning whether the fairness of ICE agents getting paid as they assist TSA agents who are not.
ABC’s Strahan Sucks Up to Cory Booker Over 2028, DHS Shutdown, Memoir
Monday’s Good Morning America showcased ABC’s position as perhaps the worst of the major broadcast networks as co-host and former NFL player Michael Strahan spent over seven minutes yukking it up with friend and Democrat Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) as the latter has a new book to sell (which ABC partnered with on sales through a QR code) and lob softballs allowing Booker to paint…
