The central strategy of media bias is defining your terms. The most obnoxious strategy of liberal journalists is defining the Republicans as ideological extremists engaging in culture wars and weaponizing partisan narratives for political victory. They pretend Democrats are nothing like this. The epic political battles of our time are between the ultraconservatives and the nonpartisans.

New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker joined Wednesday’s Chris Jansing Reports and unleashed, even by MSNBC’s standards, one of the most ridiculous reductio ad Putinum claims ever uttered on the network as he claimed the Russian dictator would “feel very comfortable” in Donald Trump’s America.

On Tuesday, the Trump Administration launched a review of select Smithsonian museums to “ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.” The eponymous host of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 was not happy about the move and claimed the move was insulting…

NBC’s Seth Meyers continued his lamentations on President Trump’s response to the Los Angeles riots on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night. As Meyers tells it, Congressional Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are “collaborating” with Trump to “turn America into a military-style autocracy” and would’ve ratted out the original Tea Party to the British in 1773.

It was biased enough for CNN to air a live Broadway performance of George Clooney's Broadway play which glorifies 1950s CBS left-wing hack Edward R. Murrow attacking anti-communist Sen. Joseph McCarthy as an anti-Trump #Resistance ploy. That extended to the pre-play and post-play coverage. After it was over, Anderson Cooper brought on 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley for a promotional…

Thirty years ago, Timothy McVeigh parked a truck packed with explosives next to Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. After the immediate shock of the bombing passed, liberal journalists began assigning blame to ordinary conservatives, hoping to blur the facts and discredit the competition.

Over there on this very site, NewsBusters’ own Alex Christy had a sharp-eyed focus on a curious moment on a recent episode of Stephen Colbert’s late night CBS show. 

CNN’s Anderson Cooper hosted a town hall with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday, and, even by CNN’s standards, it was quite the softball session. Not only did both men take advantage of fact-checker Daniel Dale apparently having better things to do with his time by accusing President Trump of “whitewashing American history,” but Cooper even invited the president of American University’s…

CNN’s Dana Bash spread some fake news on Tuesday’s edition of Inside Politics and not of the fun April Fool’s variety. Bash, together with Africana Studies Prof. Clarissa Myric-Harris White, burned multiple straw men on President Donald Trump’s executive order on the Smithsonian.

The Daily Show wrapped up the month of February on Comedy Central on Thursday by sending correspondent Josh Johnson out into the world to interview the masses and pretend that the Trump Administration getting rid of DEI initiatives means people can no longer say things like “civil rights” or “oppression” when talking about history.

PBS News Weekend guest host Ali Rogin promised that a Saturday evening segment would “explore the deep roots of DEI in this country as it comes under increasing attack,” and it certainly delivered a strong if false defense, comparing the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” push to the fight against Jim Crow, with the host agreeing wholly with the segment’s sole guest, an activist…

It was an eventful evening for CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert. First, during his monologue, Colbert praised Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s plea to Trump that repeated several left-wing grievances and claimed Vice President JD Vance was upset during the sermon because he could not have sex with the pew. Second, Colbert later welcomed CBS News’s John Dickerson to give a…

Joe Biden may still hold the office of President of the United States, but the media are treating him like he’s anything but a newsmaker. Nobody wanted to cover Biden claiming "we left the country in better shape than we found it"....better "than at any point in the last 50 years of my career."

Washington Post film critic Ty Burr not only hated the biopic Reagan with Dennis Quaid as too soft and bland. He lashed out at the young-Trump movie The Apprentice as not at all harsh enough on Trump. Shouldn't Republicans always be unintelligent monsters? So say the film critics on the Left.
