Radical, Hateful Leftists Like Ed Schultz Soiling NBC Brand, Bozell Te

March 16th, 2012 10:58 AM
Are left-wing hatemongers like Ed Schultz sullying the NBC brand? How do legitimate, albeit left-leaning, journalists like Matt Lauer or Tom Brokaw feel about NBCUniversal's cable news outlet, Fox News's Sean Hannity wondered during last night's "Media Mash" segment with NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell. "You have to wonder about that. When you think of Tom Brokaw, when you think of the…

Brent Bozell: ‘Bill O’Reilly Is Wrong

March 16th, 2012 10:41 AM
Last night, Bill O’Reilly had some very nice things to say about the Media Research Center and for that I’m grateful.  But he made a major criticism of this organization, and rather than have me on to respond to it, he brought on two other guests to discuss it. So I’ll respond here. Bill O’Reilly is wrong.

March 13th, 2012 9:18 AM
As NewsBusters reported, HBO's Bill Maher on Friday disgracefully claimed Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum homeschools his children to keep them locked up in his "Christian madrassa" where they won't be exposed to knowledge and reason.

NYTimes Editor Rosenthal: 'Bull...' and 'Pernicious Nonsense' to Sugge

March 9th, 2012 5:00 PM
It's "bull..." and "pernicious nonsense" to suggest the New York Times is the liberal equivalent of Fox News, says Editorial Page editor Andrew Rosenthal, because "Fox News presents the news in a way that is deliberately skewed to promote political causes, and the New York Times simply does not." Rosenthal was one of several guests on a Freakonomics podcast back on February 16 (h/t Jim…

March 8th, 2012 6:06 AM
When FNC's Bill O'Reilly brought up "ABC News's coverage of this Rush Limbaugh/Fluke situation" on Wednesday's The O'Reilly Factor, guest George Stephanopoulos not only misled FNC viewers about ABC coverage by focusing only on how much time his weekday edition of Good Morning America devoted to the story while ignoring other ABC shows like World News and the weekend edition of GMA, but he even…

Laura Ingraham Busts The View: When Ed Schultz Called Me a Slut Barbar

March 6th, 2012 10:45 AM
As NewsBusters reported Monday, the ladies of ABC's The View were tremendously sympathetic to Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke's tale of woe and misery having been called a "slut" by conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh. Yet as Laura Ingraham pointed out on Tuesday's Fox & Friends, her being called a "slut" by MSNBC's Ed Schultz last year was a source of great…

Jon Stewart Mocks Megyn Kelly: Contraceptive Coverage Same as Paid Mat

March 6th, 2012 9:11 AM
Of all the pathetic media defenses of Georgetown University law student and women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart on Monday might have mounted the silliest one. During a lengthy segment about “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Gross” Rush Limbaugh, the Daily Show host also went after Fox News’s Megyn Kelly by hysterically claiming institutions paying for…

Ann Coulter on Media's Breitbart Smear: 'Even in Death He Shows Libera

March 3rd, 2012 3:34 PM
As NewsBusters has been reporting, the liberal media have been less than gracious following the surpising death of conservative publisher Andrew Breitbart.

Jon Stewart: Fox News Reporting Debt, Unemployment and High Gas Prices

February 29th, 2012 11:08 AM
Comedian Jon Stewart apparently thinks the economy is just fine and that any news outlet that says otherwise must be doing it because they don't want President Obama to get reelected. Even more preposterous, on Tuesday's Daily Show, the host did an entire segment on how Fox News reporting the national debt, unemployment, and rising gas prices is all a Republican National Committee conspiracy…
