Screw-Ups, Shutdowns, & Soros: Our Ten Most-Read Stories of 2025
2025 marked a year of arguably unparalleled success for the NewsBusters team seeing as how, along with chronicling the best and worst in daily and long-term liberal media bias, we helped see to a successful conclusion a decades-long fight to defund National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS. As you’ll see below in our top-ten list of the most read stories, you’ll see NPR come up along with the major…
WATCH: PBS Bows to Whiny Foreign Censor CEO Post-Trump Deport Threat
Overtly sappy interviews like the one PBS just did for the socialist CEO of a wacky foreign-based censorship organization is a perfect reminder why that decrepit network should never get one dime of taxpayer money ever again.
NYT, WP Alarmed Over Trump Christmas Messages, But Fine With Biden's
“Trump Administration Emphasizes Religion in Official Christmas Messages,” a Christmas Day story by New York Times reporter Ashley Ahn, was an exquisite example of the paper’s blatant political double standards, portraying
Team Trump’s religiously themed Christmas messages (imagine that) as a threat to the country’s vaunted “separation of church and state,” while ignoring former…
Column: '60 Minutes' Offers Syrupy Minutes for the Left
CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi raged against the network’s Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss when she delayed her story on how the Trump administration deported illegal immigrants from Venezuela to a “notorious” prison in El Salvador. Weiss wanted more reporting and more rebuttal from the Trump administration in it.
'60 Minutes' Leftists Wage Internal War on Bari Weiss Applying Brakes
The 60 Minutes team at CBS has suffered a setback in its anti-Trump crusade, and it furiously leaked that story right into the newspapers. Reporter Sharyn Alfonsi assembled what we could guess was a typical hit piece on the “notorious” CECOT prison in El Salvador that temporarily held illegal migrant cause celebre Kilmar Abrego-Garcia.
Scott Jennings Dunks on CNN Libs’ Sudden Interest in POTUS Decline
After four years of pretending President Joe Biden didn’t suffer severe cognitive decline, there appears to be a sudden desire to scrutinize every utterance made by President Donald Trump, in the hopes of finding a kernel of dementia upon which to seize. CNN’s Scott Jennings rightly called that out on today’s State of the Union panel.
Morning Joe Mocks Trump's Biden Mentions with Willie Nelson Song
Always on the lookout for new ways to attack President Trump, Morning Joe went musical today.

IT’S (D)IFFERENT: Nets Rediscover Interest in Presidential Fact-Checks
After effectively serving as both Praetorian Guard and stenographers for the Biden White House, the network news appear to have rediscovered their interest in fact-checking presidential addresses. President Trump’s address on the economy drew a reaction from the network news more befitting of a partisan rapid response operation.
Bidenomics-Lovin' Krugman Sneers: Trump's 'A+++++ Economy, My A++'
In his latest hate-Trump rambling December 17 Substack column, former New York Times columnist Krugman sneered, “An A+++++ Economy, My A++,” mocking the president’s assessment of the current state of the economy. It’s worth a reminder that Krugman just recently had the audacity to call Bidenomics the “triumph that nobody appreciated.”
Biden’s Immigration Debacle Is the Media’s, Too
The New York Times has invented a new genre of reporting — covering big stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the events that matter. At the tail end of 2025, the Times has freshly broken the news that the Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for ideological and partisan reasons, partly out of sheer incompetence. Who knew?…
NY Times Takedown of Lenient Biden Border Policy Applies to Them, Too!
Better (very) late than never? New York Times reporter Christopher Flavelle issued an exhaustive chronological rundown, sympathetic but still damning, of former President Joe Biden’s politically disastrous immigration policy, a dangerous mix of activism and passivity. The Sunday front-page headline introducing the whopping 4,000-word story: “Inside Biden’s Losing Bets on Immigration…
Sen. Schmitt WRECKS Stephanopoulos Over Selective Pushback
ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos featured Missouri GOP Senator Eric Schmitt, apparently to discuss ongoing operations in the Caribbean. The interview immediately went sideways, though, when Stephanopoulos tried to gotcha Schmitt with a recent presidential pardon.
New York Times Mangles It: 'Trump Calls Affordability a Con Job'
Leave it to The New York Times to try to channel its Fine People Hoax energy to once again twist President Donald Trump’s words to make him seem like a Bond villain who scoffs at the plebeians' struggles against inflation.
New York Times Trolls Trump: Low-Energy Don Shows 'Signs of Fatigue'
The New York Times appears to be trolling President Trump by suggesting he’s getting too old for the job. The man who began running for president by mocking “low-energy Jeb” Bush predictably hated this story.
