News Busters

America's top media watchdog dedicated to identifying, highlighting, and addressing liberal media bias. In August 2005, the Media Research Center (MRC) introduced the NewsBusters blog to quickly shine a light on instances of media bias, unfairness, inaccuracies, and sometimes absurdities in national news coverage. Popular national talk-radio hosts frequently reference articles from the blog, sharing the latest insights from "our friends at NewsBusters." Even the Washington Post has acknowledged this "dynamic blog" managed by "the most recognized and well-funded conservative watchdog." With an advanced recording operation that runs around the clock and a comprehensive archive of broadcast and cable news footage dating back to 1987, NewsBusters is instrumental in addressing immediate controversies as well as tracking long-term patterns of liberal bias in the media.

The era of the movie star ended some time ago, assuming your last name isn’t Cruise. More recently, Americans began tuning out their celebrity betters on the political front. The 2024 election saw a galaxy of stars support Vice President Kamala Harris. For every Trump-backing Zachary Levi or Hulk Hogan there were dozens of A-listers backing a leader who feared talking to Joe Rogan. The word salad spinner lost, badly, to President Donald Trump all the same.

Every once in a while, HBO’s Bill Maher feels the need to remind people that he is still an intensely anti-religious individual.

While the rest of the liberal media were trying to convince the American public that Pope Leo XIV was one of theirs, the purported Catholics of ABC’s The View were fearful that he would abide by church doctrine. They were upset by the idea that he would continue the church’s understanding that marriage was between a man and woman, while an anti-Catholic voice tried to smear him with accusations she admitted were unsupported.

PolitiFact’s relationship with Facebook might be over, but just in case Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg feels the need to change his mind one day, a Thursday article from Maria Ramirez Uribe proved why it should stay that way. Uribe rated President Trump “false” for saying “there’s a different standard” for due process for illegal immigrants despite admitting he was, in fact, correct.
