Former President Donald Trump was arraigned for the third time on Thursday and the cable networks of MSNBC and CNN once again obsessed over the matter to the detriment of coverage of any other topic.

On Thursday afternoon, President Biden took a might tumble when he fell nearly flat on his face at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Such a fall drew eyeballs and defenses from the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC with the conservative drinking game words of capitalizing, pouncing and seizing on it. Over on the liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC, both (largely) saw no reason to be concerned and…

In their coverage of the just-concluded debt ceiling stand-off, ABC, CBS and NBC put the onus for a potential default on Republicans, ignored the dangers of the rising national debt, and hyped GOP proposals to trim spending as extreme attempts to “gut” or “slash” liberal programs.

The Associated Press has been running wild with leftist climate change propaganda while being paid millions by eco-extremist organizations. And yet AP still has the audacity to pretend it's engaging in objective reporting.

With the Writers Guild of America going on strike, it is likely that America has seen the last of the first half of 2023’s late night comedy shows. Whether America wants them to return is another question as 95 percent of their guests were liberal, a NewsBusters study has documented.

Given their government funding, citizens should expect public broadcasting’s news coverage to be scrupulously neutral, yet an exhaustive Media Research Center study of PBS NewsHour found coverage of the first four months of the new Congress has been heavily slanted against Republicans.

During his eight-year stint as host of CBS’s The Late Late Show, James Corden could be counted on to use the show to advance the electoral interests of the Democratic Party, a NewsBusters study has found.

The Monday news media news surrounding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon provided the late night comedy shows a golden opportunity to show they aren’t just liberal partisans. However, they would fail this test as individual jokes about Carlson outnumbered jokes about Lemon 32-to-2 with five additional jokes about both men.

For the second week in a row, the four liberal March 26 Sunday roundtable shows ignored the rapidly growing scandal surrounding the Biden family’s corrupt overseas business dealings, even as new details continued to unravel. Instead, of reporting on the hard evidence in the Hunter Biden probe and other alleged crimes and corruption surrounding the Biden family, they spent considerable airtime…

PBS, established in 1969, has an outdated reputation for delivering a polite, objective take on the news of the day, exemplified by its flagship evening news program, now called the PBS NewsHour. But a new Media Research Center study deflates that outdated assumption, tracking and labeling every guest that appeared on the NewsHour over a four-month period, November 2022…

On Tuesday, NewsBusters released a study on the broadcast network coverage of the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment that showed, since officials lifted an evacuation order on the evening of February 8 through the morning of February 14, ABC had ignored it on their flagship morning and evening newscasts while CBS and NBC had spent only one minute and 42 seconds on what’s become an…

The data of network coverage from the East Palestine, Ohio trail derailment tells the story of an incurious media who were too eager to declare the issue resolved.

A new study from the Media Research Center finds the overwhelming majority (84%) of TV news coverage of the ongoing inflation disaster failed to mention President Biden or his administration — and when reporters did discuss the President, they mostly depicted him as working to solve the problem, rather than blaming him for causing it.

Leftist billionaire George Soros wields a level of influence in American politics that makes him unrivaled among the left’s most powerful activist donors. He has spent decades and more than $32 billion building an unparalleled network of allies in almost every field of endeavor. That power doesn’t just impact American opinion. Soros, his Open Society Foundations and the charities they fund…
