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.

CNN's Cornish Fails To Challenge Democrat Guest On Mamdani's Lunatic Plans for NYC

2 days ago | newsbusters.org | Mark Finkelstein

Zohran Mamdani ran on and won NYC's Democrat mayoral primary on the most lunatic, destructive, left-wing agenda this side of Pyongyang. CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish had a perfect opportunity today to grill a Democrat from the leftist fringes on the party on it. Cornish's guest was Debbie Dingell, a Michigan congresswoman and a leader of the House Progressive Caucus. Cornish punted. Instead of putting her on the spot, Cornish let Dingell run away from Mamdani's pie in the sky.
Column: New York Times Deplores Sean Duffy's Large-Family Conspiracy

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is apparently the leader of a menacing conspiracy. The New York Times put this on the June 24 front page: “Under Trump, Ex-MTV Star Pitches Big Families.” But he used to be a bad boy on MTV, so the headline underneath was “From a Racy Past to a Key Cabinet Post.”At 25, Duffy starred on MTV's reality show The Real World.

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.

"Can't deny." Looks like CNN has fallen back on those words to cover those unfortunate situations where—much as commentators would like to diminish the accomplishments of the Trump administration or address inconvenient truths—pesky facts have made that impossible.

MSNBC'S Mohyeldin Suggests Netanyahu 'Dog-Walked' Trump Into Attacking Iran

5 days ago | newsbusters.org | Mark Finkelstein

Looking for the liberal media's most anti-Trump, anti-Israel take on President Trump's decision to strike Iran? Look no further than MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin, formerly of Al Jazeera. Speaking with Rachel Maddow on Saturday night, Mohyeldin repeatedly suggested that Benjamin Netanyahu "dog-walked" President Trump into attacking Iran. This would seem to be a reversal of the antisemitic cartoon the New York Times published in 2019, where Netanyahu was the dog and Trump was a blind man.

Capehart Claims GOP is Afraid 'Of Being Human' on Political Rhetoric

6 days ago | newsbusters.org | Alex Christy

If one were only to watch Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour, they would come away with the impression that “rotten” political rhetoric is mainly a right-wing phenomenon. Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart went so far as to claim Republicans are afraid “of being human” on the matter. The background for the conversation was President Trump announcing he wasn’t going to call Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after Democratic State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated.
