ABC Warns: Your Employer Might Be Pro-Life
December 5th, 2013 2:40 PM
Job-searchers, there are plenty of reasons to refuse an offer: there’s the wrong industry, the better offer, the long commute – or maybe, suggests ABC, the dreaded Christian boss.
During ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer” Nov. 26 segment, Senior National Correspondent Jim Avila reported that the latest Supreme Court case will be “making your boss’ faith a question to ask in future job…
ABC, NBC Ignore Democrats' New Push For Gun Control; CBS Covers
December 4th, 2013 3:36 PM
CBS This Morning stood out on Wednesday as the only Big Three newscast so far to devote any air time to a new gun control proposal by Democrats in Congress. Nancy Cordes reported on the "fierce opposition" to a proposed amendment to an extension of an existing ban on so-called "plastic guns", which would "require that all guns contain a piece of metal that cannot be removed".
However, both…

Media’s Chicken Little Hurricane Predictions Fall Flat
December 4th, 2013 12:05 PM
Hurricane season ended Nov. 30, with an all time-low for hurricanes. The weak outcome didn’t fit the environmental disaster narrative the media had concocted leading up to hurricane season. ABC, NBC and CBS devoted broadcasts to scaring viewers with news of “devastating tornadoes, searing heat waves, withering droughts” and “powerful hurricanes.” But they became strangely silent once the…
Kimmel: Obama's Given More Speeches About ObamaCare Than Have Signed U
December 4th, 2013 10:26 AM
As NewsBusters has been reporting the past few months, late night comics have been having a field day with the disaster that is ObamaCare.
On ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday, the host spent a good part of his monologue trashing the program including an observation that “the number of speeches Obama has made about affordable healthcare is greater than the number of people who have actually…
UPDATED: Networks That Skipped Bashir's Gross Attack on Palin Were Out
December 4th, 2013 10:15 AM
UPDATE: Bashir Resigns
When Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a “slut” the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks went ballistic, making the conservative talk show host a centerpiece in their campaign to tarnish Mitt Romney and the GOP as engaging in a “war on women.” However when MSNBC’s Martin Bashir launched his own war on women against Sarah Palin, not a single anchor or reporter from the Big…

Dem Keith Ellison Interprets Obama: 'If You Misunderstood What I Was T
December 1st, 2013 12:18 PM
Being a leftist of the Obama ilk, you have to assume that Congressman Keith Ellison thought he was doing President Obama a favor in offering his interpretation of the president's "if you like your plan, you can keep it" line, as well as his subsequent non-apology apology.
But on today's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Ellison wound up putting words in the president's mouth that quite…
Michelle Obama on Barack: ‘He Keeps His Promises
November 30th, 2013 2:30 AM
ABC’s Barbara Walters did another in a series of sycophantic gushing and fawning interviews with the Obamas Friday.
In the wake of the President’s fallacious claim that people could keep their health insurance plans if they liked them, the most preposterous part of the interview was when Michelle Obama said her husband “keeps his promises” without any pushback from Walters (video follows with…

November 27th, 2013 4:25 PM
Moving past gay marriage, ABC News on Monday pushed the "gospel" of polyamory, having multiple romantic and sexual partners in an open relationship.

Harris opened the segment by lecturing, "Just for…
Censored: After Skipping the IRS Scandal for Five Months, ABC Allows a
November 27th, 2013 12:52 PM
Five months after dropping coverage of the Internal Revenue Service scandal, ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday finally found time to allow a few seconds to mention the targeting of conservatives. CBS and NBC on Tuesday and Wednesday both ignored the fact that the Obama administration is doubling down and now attempting to rein in non-profit groups.
GMA's Josh Elliott blandly noted…
Networks Hype 'Interesting' Moment With Liberal 'Heckler'; Obama Handl
November 26th, 2013 12:46 PM
All three networks on Tuesday hyped an "interesting" exchange between Barack Obama and a liberal heckler. ABC, CBS and ABC declined, however, to specifically note that the man's concern was that the President simply wasn't liberal enough on the issue of immigration reform. On NBC's Today, Natalie Morales praised, "You know, I think that the President handled it well by engaging." [See video…
Kimmel: President's Visit 'Turned LA Into the Traffic Equivalent of Ob
November 26th, 2013 10:38 AM
As NewsBusters has been reporting for almost two months, the disastrous rollout of Barack Obama's signature piece of legislation has made him the butt of late night jokes.
On ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday, the host repeatedly mocked the President's fundraising trip to California saying, "He basically turned the westside of Los Angeles into the traffic equivalent of the ObamaCare website" (…
ABC, NBC Minimize Senate Democrats Dropping Nuclear Option, Tout 'Bold
November 22nd, 2013 4:16 PM
ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today on Friday did their best to downplay Senate Democrats' Thursday move to curtail the Republican Party's filibuster power. The two newscasts devoted a combined 39 seconds to the controversial vote, which ABC's Dan Harris labeled a "bold move". GMA apparently thought the potential marriage of serial killer Charles Manson was more important, as it devoted…
