Leah Litman is a law professor, podcaster, author, and on Wednesday, a fake news-peddling guest on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. During her appearance with Michael Kosta, Litman came across as a profoundly unserious person who took quotes from conservative Supreme Court justices wildly out of context and was more interested in name-calling.

NewsBusters analysts reviewed PolitiFact articles from January to May 2025 that evaluated a named politician or public official with a “Truth-O-Meter” ruling, and their tilted version of the "truth" shows that PolitiFact is not nonpartisan. Republicans were tagged as "Mostly False" or worse more than 85 percent of the time, while Democrats landed on the False side only 39 percent of the time…

The legacy media generally love to report on perceived palace intrigue and betrayal, unless the intrigue happens within a Democrat White House. Then, it’s all quiet on the Leftern Front. NBC’s reporting on the new book by former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is the exception.

On Wednesday, Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre – our reliable source of seemingly endless content – announced she not only would have a tell-all book coming out in October about her time in the White House (entitled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines), but she has left the Democrat Party.

On Tuesday, The Trump administration sent its rescission package to Capitol Hill, asking Congress to claw back $9.4 billion in approved spending, including $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

On Tuesday, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) schooled ABC News legal analyst Kate Shaw during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that included a brief spotlight on Shaw's previous remarks about Supreme Court Justices – calling some of the colleagues of Justice Elena Kagan “evil”. Shaw, also a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and wife of MSNBC host Chris Hayes, was invited by Senate…

Former ESPN and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann opened his Countdown podcast Tuesday with a segment which could only be described as the ravings of a lunatic. The topic of his ten-minute tirade:  “the blood of Boulder, Colorado, is on the hands of Donald Trump.” If that relatively unsupported claim didn’t seem extreme enough, Olbermann doubled down, describing Trump’s “ethnic cleansing” policy,…

The Politico article assesses Kamala Harris's lukewarm political prospects in South Carolina and California. In South Carolina, influential Democrats show little enthusiasm for a Harris presidential campaign. In California, where Harris is considering a gubernatorial bid, reactions are similarly tepid, with some viewing it as merely a fallback. Despite Politico’s mixed title, the narrative…

On Tuesday’s CBS Evening News, they projected a desire it was time to at least temporarily move on from Sunday’s Boulder, Colorado anti-Semitic terror attack by giving it a 27-second news brief. But instead, they spent over three and a half minutes (3:34) harping on allegations Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been indiscriminately shooting defenseless Gazans at an aid station, setup…

You would think that an ABC News program like The View would have some sort of journalistic standard they needed to meet, but that clearly wasn’t the case during Wednesday’s episode. In their opening segment flinging crud at Elon Musk, co-host Sunny Hostin claimed he had killed nearly 300,000 children and co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar hinted that he knew how President Trump…

MSNBC’s Chris Jansing welcomed former Missouri Attorney General Jason Kander to her Wednesday show to discuss Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering that the USNS Harvey Milk be renamed. Jansing could not tell the difference between civil rights icons and liberal icons as she asked if renaming such ships was “part of a politicization of the armed forces?”

Give her credit: Chief executive Katherine Maher is not afraid to look ridiculous on her quest to save National Public Radio from the federal chopping block. On Thursday’s edition of the Wall Street Journal’s podcast, hosted by Ryan Knutson and Jessica Mendoza, Maher claimed "we are consistently found to be centrist in reporting....we are a nonpartisan news organization."

Since launching the CBS Evening News Plus, anchor John Dickerson has ended the show with a “Reporter’s Notebook” segment disguised as an often partisan commentary (and not that he needs one given the absurdity of his CBS Evening News the half-hour prior), but for Tuesday’s installment, he ghoulishly tied rural health care and men’s mental health to the proposed work…

CNN/PBS anchor and self-styled journalist Christiane Amanpour recently gave a wild, anti-Trump commencement speech at Harvard where she invoked everything from 1984 to Benito Mussolini, but that may not have been the wildest part of her recent trip to America. On her Tuesday podcast installment of The Ex Files—so named because she co-hosts it with her ex-husband, Jamie Rubin—…
