NewsBusters Podcast: Welker's Decent Question to Newsom EDITED OUT

February 26th, 2024 11:04 PM

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker surprised us by asking California Gov. Gavin Newsom in which week abortion could be limited. He implied zero limits...while he attacked Republicans as extreme. Sadly, it turned out that clip was in the full interview on YouTube, but it was left on the cutting-room floor when it came to NBC's Sunday show.

Meyers, Newsom Team Up To Attack Fox, 'Anti-Black' DeSantis

December 14th, 2023 10:06 AM

California Gov. Gavin Newsom traveled over to NBC and Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday to recap his Fox News debate with GOP presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis where he smeared DeSantis as “anti-black” and, ironically considering he was on Late Night, lamented that Fox was an echo chamber. Meanwhile, Meyers wondered why Republicans are obsessed with…

Joe Biden Looks Doomed in 2024 — But Is He?

December 8th, 2023 3:07 PM

Gavin Newsom is so eager to run for president that he even campaigns to insist he’s not running. That’s what he did last week, when the California governor went on Fox News to debate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is officially in the race. Why does a Democratic governor appear on a Republican-leaning cable channel to debate a candidate, if he’s not a candidate himself? The devil’s in the…

The Kamala Conundrum: Why Democrats Are Stuck With Her

December 5th, 2023 1:25 PM

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom desperately wants to run for president -- now rather than later. After all, Newsom, for reasons I discuss in my new book, “As Goes California,” beat back a recall attempt. Polls show most Democrats want a candidate other than President Joe Biden, whose poll numbers remain in the tank. Over 60% of Americans consider the country on the wrong track. Biden’s…

NewsBusters Podcast: Newsom, DeSantis, and Democrats at PolitiFact

December 1st, 2023 11:39 PM

The Sean Hannity-moderated debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis drew a predictable outcome from PolitiFact. They tried to ignore the raw numbers on Californians leaving Florida (and the reverse) and proclaim Newsom accurate by using a "per capita" measurement for America's most populous state. That's playing with "alternative facts."

CBS Ducks as ABC Uses Trump Author Karl to Mock DeSantis, Hail Newsom

December 1st, 2023 4:01 PM

Friday’s CBS Mornings did its best to all but ignore Thursday night’s fiery debate on the Fox News Channel between Governors Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Gavin Newsom (D-CA) by stashing it in the Eye Opener (which we at NewsBusters don’t formally account as most of it’s teases for segments), but the others stepped up to the plate with full stories on ABC’s Good Morning America and…

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Streets of San Francisco

November 22nd, 2023 9:09 AM

At least California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, admits it. On the eve of a visit to San Francisco by China’s Xi Jinping, the city somehow, someway cleared out downtown homeless encampments. Newsom flat-out cops to the reason why. The governor said, “Folks say, ‘Oh they’re just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming into town.’ That’s true.…

ABCCBSNBC Can't Xi Themselves Covering Newsom's Big SF Street Cleanup

San Francisco, an iconic American city known for its beauty and charm (but more recently known for having streets wracked with crime, lined with homeless and paved with human excrement) gets a long-overdue cleanup ahead of an important APEC summit wherein President Joe Biden shall meet Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. But the cleanup, inasmuch as it makes the wrong people look bad, garnered no…

Will Gavin Newsom Copy Trump?

October 4th, 2023 2:44 PM

Gavin Newsom wants to be Donald Trump. Eight years ago, Trump took stock of the Republican Party and found it ripe for conquest. Who could stand against him? The Bush dynasty elected two presidents, yet both left office with the GOP in retreat.  If Jeb Bush seemed the inevitable nominee for a few weeks or months in 2015, that was only a sign of how stagnant the party had become.
