The debate over so-called "public" broadcasting should be focused on its fundamental unfairness toward Republicans and undisguised loathing of conservatives. PBS and NPR and their Democrat allies want this fight to be over Elmo and emergency alerts. They can't deny how flagrantly they push a leftist agenda, so they have to change the subject.
Axios.com reported House Democrats claimed their voters feel there “needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public.” But the press doesn't want to cover political violence from the Left, like active shooters at ICE facilities, even when a cop gets shot in the neck.
There's no doubt that the word "public" in their name is a fraud. When Americans aren't allowed to criticize their supposedly "public" networks, when their viewpoints are offhandedly labeled misinformation, they cease to be networks that represent all the public. They then represent only a fraction of the public, that fraction being the pompous liberal elite who want to tell the public what to think while invalidating any and all disagreement. This is the exact opposite of what America has alway...
On Sunday, ABC featured a Democrat citing an estimate from the "Yale Policy Lab" that Trump's "big beautiful bill" would kill 100,000 people over ten years. Last week, NBC promoted a report claiming 14 million people would die from Trump's cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development. Reporters hinted that adorable little girls drowned in a Texas flood because of Trump's cuts to the National Weather Service. But they're "fact-based."
Liberals really hate it when you say they hate America. Some of them prove it. Some of them make strange arguments about how they love Cherry Pop-Tarts and McDonald's, so of course they love America.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped into socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Monday, and Mediaite editor Colby Hall just couldn't figure out why she would attack this new radical face of the Democratic Party. He even failed to identify him as a mayoral candidate, saying he "isn't even in Congress yet."
Liberal journalists subtly tell you they're liberal when they describe who in politics is "extreme." When you're a liberal, Bernie Sanders isn't extreme. He's not very far from you at all. So it's only natural that virtually every Republican is "far right" on the media's political spectrum. Bill D'Agostino discusses his latest study of how "far" the media go.
The current dominant spin about President Trump's bunker-busting bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities comes from anonymous intelligence sources who are guessing that the Iranian nuclear program has only been set back about three months. Once again, reporters like CNN's Natasha Bertrand exploit shadowy sources for an anti-Trump spin, pretending all the way that there's no politics being played.
Within minutes of American bombs dropping in Iran on Saturday night, the network “experts” were second-guessing everything, calling the moves “extremely risky.” President Trump was responsible for endangering both American troops and innocent Iranian civilians. Journalists always want to line up for diplomatic “solutions,” even if nothing gets solved.
Newsletters on the media are channeling gloom inside CNN after Warner Bros. Discovery spun them off, much as Comcast spun off MSNBC. Insiders are worrying about CNN being able to exist. There's panic at Anderson Cooper's disco, and his pay will probably shrink. Meanwhile, Fox quadruples CNN in the ratings.
The polls are wildly varying on President Trump's approval rating right now. One has him down 17 points, while another has him up ten. It's more likely our left-wing media will prefer the worst number. But maybe approval ratings are overrated by the power sniffers.
Toning down the rhetoric sounds like the right idea after political violence. But nobody thinks liberal journalists like CBS host Margaret Brennan or the ranting ladies of "The View" are the role models for civility referees. They have a blatant double standard on who gets to savage and smear their opponents.
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.
If the media were truly objective on violent protests against police, they would discourage January 6 rioters and leftist rioters. They shouldn't be shaming Trump at the same time they downplay violence against police in Los Angeles as a nothingburger.
ABC reporter Terry Moran was suspended on Sunday for a rage-filled tweet about President Trump and Stephen Miller being "world-class haters." This followed liberal rage over Trump ordering the California National Guard to restore order over immigration protests in Los Angeles.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are now dramatically ad odds, and no one is happier than the left-wing press. This week pundits compared Elon's DOGE efforts to the mass murders of Stalin and Mao, including "The View." Nick Fondacaro explains the craziness.
On Tuesday, the White House sent a request to Congress for rescinding the money appropriated in advance for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Can the Republicans unite to pull the plug on "public" broadcasting subsidies? This is the best chance ever, but "moderate" Republicans will face heavy lobbying from PBS and NPR -- including on their own taxpayer-funded airwaves.
Incoming "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Llamas dared to proclaim to The Washington Post that NBC News is "right down the middle," they are 'tough but fair" on both parties. Why would he express such an unfounded opinion?
As NPR faces the prospect of being defunded by conservatives, ABC's 'The View' marked Jewish American Heritage Month by honoring former NPR anchor Susan Stamberg and NPR reporter Nina Totenberg, touted as the 'Queen of Leaks,' meaning leaks from Democrats seeking to damage Republicans.
NPR argues with a straight face that removing any taxpayer subsidies is a violation of the First Amendment. Apparently, liberal speech must be forcibly supported by conservative taxpayers for the Constitution to be upheld. Trained lawyer Dan Schneider exposes the nonsense.
The brazen murder of two young Israeli Embassy staffers in DC was committed by a man on the radical left, but other than Jake Tapper, none of TV network stars could identify the shooter as "left," let alone "radical left." MRCTV's Justine Brooke Murray helps break it down.
The breaking news that former president Joe Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer revealed that we have a new scandal of Biden deception and a faceplant press that can't seem to get to the bottom of anything about Democrats when it truly matters.
Editor Curtis Houck returns from vacation to join Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro in discussing the liberal media’s largely muted response to disgraced former FBI Director James Comey’s seashore seashells threat against President Trump. They also call out the Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson as, at least based on the earlier excerpts of their book, they tried to reframe the left’s failure to acknowledge President Biden’s plummeting mental acuity.
The Night Train rides solo to call out the liberal media’s hypocrisy in condemning the 59 refugees from South Africa because they’re white, while at the same time getting hyped about possibly using and abusing Pope Leo XIV as a cudgel against the political right in America.
Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro discusses the liberal media’s reaction to the Trump administration’s wins on the world stage over the weekend and their begrudging admission of hard truths. Mr. Producer, Ben Graham, also makes an appearance to talk about the media’s continued attempts to claim Pope Leo XIV and one media personality’s flip-flop on him for a reason that's only skin deep.
Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro is joined by News Analyst Alex Christy to discuss the liberal media’s covetous reaction to the election of Pope Leo XIV. Leftist outlets rushed to claim Leo as one of their own, while at the same time trying to downplay and or obfuscate his conservative elements. Yet others were surprised that the leader of the Catholic Church held Catholic beliefs about abortion and marriage.
Is every day Watergate Day in the anti-Trump media? At a London event, Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg said "every day is a kind of Watergate at this point," implying Trump was a crook like Richard Nixon. Brian Stelter celebrated this "Truth Tellers" summit of liberals congratulating themselves for valiantly fighting against the Trump menace.
On Sunday, President Trump tangled with NBC's Kristen Welker, after he had verbal combat with ABC's Terry Moran and Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. Four years ago, President Biden granted no interviews to the liberal media. They didn't care. Once again, Trump is punished for granting broad access to hostile journalists.
It was Christmas in May for the Media Research Center after President Trump signed an executive order defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and Managing Editor Curtis Houck fill in and discuss the EO and the necessity of defunding state-controlled media like PBS and NPR. And since the EO was such a major event, usual host Tim Graham calls in to share his decades of wisdom and insights.
At the 100-day mark in President Trump's second term, it's apparent once again that the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC are organized to cover Trump as negatively as possible. A new NewsBusters study finds coverage of Trump has been 92 percent negative. Four years ago, Biden coverage was 59 percent positive. Rich Noyes explains the difference.
