NewsBusters Podcast: Defunding PBS/NPR Is Not a Cow Town's Nightmare
NewsBusters is taking a victory lap for the House vote to claw back funding for PBS and NPR. But The Washington Post went to my neck of Wisconsin and suggested this is bad because "other radio signals are staticky and internet service can be patchy." They'd be "poorer" without the "independent option" of NPR. That's the NPR PR.
CBS’s Dickerson Dismisses Big, Beautiful Bill as DOOOOM for the Poor
The embodiment of the kind of acceptable liberal journalist to today’s left, CBS Evening News Plus has always ended with anchor John Dickerson let it rip on whatever issue he desires weighing in on. Increasingly, it’s been political and snide, giving his opinion on how much he loathes Trump and the MAGA agenda. Thursday was no exception as he denounced the Big, Beautiful Bill as…
CNN: Right Wingers Might Have Destroyed Stores Post-George Floyd
On CNN This Morning, CNN media analyst Sara Fischer tried out a new conspiracy theory about 2020: "during the George Floyd protests, it was a question of whether or not this was left-wing Antifa destroying stores, destroying glass fronts, or if it was folks on the right."
The Scavenger Mentality in Los Angeles
As Los Angeles burst into riots this week over a federal immigration raid, one protester took to his social media channels to explain just what was going on -- why arsonists armed with Palestinian flags stood alongside vandals armed with Palestinian flags, why some masked protesters hurled rocks at police cars while others summoned automated Waymo taxis only to set them on fire. His…
The View Finds It Suspicious Army, Trump Share a Birthday; Bash Troops
According to the unhinged conspiracy theorists of ABC News’s The View on Friday’s episode, not only was President Trump a master manipulator of people, he was apparently also a master manipulator of the space-time continuum. They found it suspicious that Trump shared a birthday with the U.S. Army; and instead of celebrating their 250 years of defending America, several cast members…
Nicolle Wallace MANGLES Poll to Claim Little Support for Deportations
On Wednesday's Deadline: White House show, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace twice spread misinformation to her viewers as she greatly understated public support for deportations by misquoting a recent Pew poll.
GOP Vote to Defund CPB Skipped by ABC, NBC, NY Times, and WashPost
While conservatives at NewsBusters and elsewhere celebrate a major win as the House passed a rescission package that would claw back $1.1 billion in federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the liberal media didn’t greet that as a big deal at all.
STUDY: CNN, MSNBC Overwhelmingly Call Riots ‘Peaceful’ as LA Burns
Leftwing cable networks CNN and MSNBC have spent the past week serving as public relations officials for the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, California. Both networks have almost exclusively described the turmoil as “peaceful,” while taking great pains to downplay or outright dismiss the chaos and violence.
American Intifada Shows Itself in Los Angeles
The riots that kicked off in Los Angeles last weekend aren’t just about illegal immigration — they’re part of a revolutionary movement. “Anti-colonialism” is a term often heard in America’s college classrooms, but off campus virtually no one takes it seriously. It’s just another harebrained radical academic theory, right? Yes, the theory is mostly silly — but the practice is deadly serious.…
Jake Tapper Refuses to Fact Check Dem Senator Contradicting CNN Report
On Thursday, the liberal media rushed to enflame the removal of far-left Senator Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference after he namelessly rushed at Secretary Noem and fought with security. Doing his part on CNN’s The Lead, Jake Tapper refused to fact-check powerful Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth (IL) after she (twice) falsely claimed Padilla immediately identified himself;…

Column: Endangered NPR Never Stops Ripping Conservatives
So the House Republicans voted to end taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR. NPR CEO Katherine Maher has repeatedly claimed, in the face of avalanches of evidence, that she has never witnessed any bias at NPR. That’s beyond ridiculous. You can find it, day after day, hour on the hour. This week’s Los Angeles rioting provided plenty of exhibits.
‘Significant Layoffs’; Puck Says CNN Could Be TOAST After New Merger
On Monday, Warner Bros. Discovery made it official that they would be splitting in two with one including their movie and TV production studios, DC Studios, HBO, and HBO Max while the other is likely to be far less profitable as it’ll consist of its TV channels, such as Food Network, HGTV, TNT, and, most notably here, CNN. Writing Wednesday night at Puck, Dylan Byers that CNN could be doomed…
