Eleven years ago this week, NewsBusters helped expose how deceptive editing by NBC News made the already-tense situation surrounding the killing of Trayvon Martin even worse; the resulting scandal led NBC to fire three people involved in the story, yet the network refused to issue an on-air correction or apology.

This week, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC said absolutely nothing about billionaire Warren Buffett’s barely-veiled slam of President Biden and other liberals for their newest class warfare gambit: decrying corporations that buy back their stock. That’s a far cry from 2011 and 2012, when those same networks helped juice then-President Obama’s re-election campaign by trumpeting Buffett’s call for…
Even though the Biden administration delayed a disastrous report on the border until nearly 7pm ET on Friday night (January 20), FNC’s Special Report managed to squeeze it into its newscast that night. Host Bret Baier said the number of migrant encounters in December made it “the busiest month ever recorded by Customs and Border Patrol.” But ABC and CBS failed to cover the report that night or…
CNN utilized doomsayer Paul Ehrlich to bolster a sensational report from the United Nations that said humanity was ruining the planet. Reporter Nick Watt scolded: “The human population has doubled in just 50 years, our agriculture consumes more and more land, natural habitats are shrinking, we continue to pollute, the climate continues to warm, and natural ecosystems crumble at an accelerating…
For New Year’s Day, CBS’s 60 Minutes built a completely one-sided segment around the idea that too much humanity is smothering the planet, using only Stanford's Paul Ehrlich and two of his like-minded Stanford colleagues as experts. Ehrlich said precisely what his long track record told CBS he’d say: “Humanity is not sustainable to maintain our lifestyle — yours and mine — basically for the…
All three broadcast morning newscasts devoted full stories on Monday to the first day of public viewing for the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. CBS’s Chris Livesay was the most antagonistic to Benedict’s legacy, regurgitating once again the “God’s Rottweiler” epithet, and tagging Benedict as an “arch-conservative” vs. the merely “more liberal” Pope Francis.

Here’s a multiple choice question for you: “Is it fair to describe the modern GOP as ‘neo-fascist’ or ‘proto-fascist’ or, to quote Joe Biden on the MAGA movement, ‘semi-fascist?’” That’s what fill-in host Mehdi Hasan asked on the December 31 edition of MSNBC’s Velshi, as he wailed that Republicans becoming the majority in the House of Representatives on Tuesday might lead the media to actually “…
The passing on December 31 of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was greeted with a familiar litany of liberal griping about the “strict,” “rigid” “hard line” Pope’s stance on ecclesiastical issues. On NBC, reporter Anne Thompson described Cardinal Ratzinger as “cartoonish” before his elevation to the papacy: “Benedict came with a cartoonish reputation. As Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger under John Paul,…
When CNN This Morning on Monday interviewed Tatiana Laborde, the managing director of the aid group which meant the buses in Washington, D.C., she showed she was no fan of GOP Governor Greg Abbott, calling the trip “extremely inhumane,” but surprisingly went on to explain how in many ways it was actually “a service to the migrants.”
The way they’re doing it is extremely inhumane, but it is a…
On Friday’s The Lead with Jake Tapper, CNN’s resident historian Douglas Brinkley fretted that Americans aren’t clamoring for far-left 1970s-style environmental policies, even as he saluted California Governor Gavin Newsom as a “hero” for pushing for the utterly unrealistic policy of banning all fossil fuel cars in the next dozen years.
