‘Very Sad’; CBS, NBC Mourn Colbert’s Cancellation, Celebrate His ‘Trademark Humor’

STUDY: The View Stokes GOP Divisions Over Epstein, Decry Criticism of Dems
The liberal ladies of ABC News’s The View had a field day the week of July 14 as they tried to divide Republicans with the Jeffrey Epstein documents snafu. Smelling blood in the water, they kicked off nearly every episode that week talking about Epstein. Meanwhile, at the…
ABC News Says ‘We’re Already in The Tyranny’ of Trump’s ‘Dictatorship’
It was a normal day on ABC’s The View on Thursday morning. Meaning a full-blown, unhinged meltdown over President Donald Trump and an accidental live dramatization of what media spin looks like in its purest form. ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg even went on to claim that Americans were “already living in the…
IT’S SUMMER, NITWITS! NPR Blames ‘Climate Change’ for Texas Floods and ‘Rainstorms’
The cuts to National Public Radio’s taxpayer funding have definitely been a long time coming. The leftist outlet is blaming climate change (there’s a surprise) for — wait for it — a lot of rain, in summertime! “Climate change is fueling brutal rainstorms. Here’s how to stay safe,”…

Column: The Arrogant Media Are Not ‘Bringing Us Closer Together’

CNN Uses FAKE Data, Says Trump Encourages Racial Gerrymandering
On the July 15 broadcast of CNN NewsNight, host Abby Phillip and far-left former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross denounced Texas’s mid‑decade redistricting as “racial gerrymandering,” citing the claim that 95 percent of Texas’s growth since 2010 came from Black and Hispanic residents, and gerrymandering would undermine the voting…

The Sky Is Falling! Psaki Fearmongers Education Department Cuts
On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki sounded the alarm on The Briefing to warn against the Trump administration’s desire to “dismantle” the Department of Education.

Google Shields NPR Over Station’s Botched Response to Deadly Texas Floods

FIVE-O FIASCO: NY Times Editorial Board Claims Defunding NPR, PBS Is Like Defunding Police
The New York Times leadership actually attempted to sell readers on the dimwitted notion that stripping tax dollars from leftist public media is just as nutty as defunding police departments. This is the same newspaper that largely rationalized nixing police funding across a number of stories over the…
Defund Them Now: NPR CEO Gets Pampered by CNN in Pants-on-Fire-Filled Interview
With $1 billion in taxpayer funding on the line as part of a rescission package the Senate could vote on late Wednesday, PBS and NPR have teamed with their liberal media allies to throw the proverbial kitchen sink at trying to maintain the farce of non-partisan, robust, and…
‘Starving Kids’: ABC News Accuses Trump of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’

NYT Schlub Tom Friedman Can’t Stop Brown-Nosing Communist China to Attack Trump
Seriously, what is it with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman’s obsession with simping for Chinese communists just so he could “muh, get Trump?” Of course, he presents it the other way around: Trump is stupidly aiding the Chinese by being against “liberal” sources of energy. He’s doubling…
Column: Never Start Your Argument by Posing with an Elmo Puppet
When former Labor Secretary Robert Reich can muster equal enthusiasm for radical leftist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and for PBS, that might help people locate precisely where PBS is on the political spectrum. In a new video, Reich began by posing with an Elmo puppet. Doesn’t every leftist…
CBS, CNN, NBC Denigrate Rural America, Tie Elmo Tweets to Defunding PBS, NPR

House Dem Stuns NewsNation by Playing Dumb on Sanctuary Cities
On Friday night, NewsNation’s On Balance host Leland Vittert gave Ohio Rep. Greg Landsman (D) an ultimatum on immigration and customs enforcement: would he get rid of sanctuary cities if it meant stopping ICE raids on places like Home Depot?

Scarborough Didn’t Make A ‘Mistake’ About ‘Best Biden Ever’ Boast— He Lied
On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, suggesting he had merely made a “mistake,” Joe Scarborough said he “got it wrong” when “I talked about Biden at his best.” No, Joe. You didn’t make a “mistake.” And it’s not that you “got it wrong.” You lied. You looked into the camera, and…
Selective Reading? MSNBC, CNN Blatantly Ignore Brazilian Censorship, Bash Trump
CNN and MSNBC anchors deliberately hid the ball from their viewers after President Donald Trump struck a blow against Brazil’s censorship regime, which has attacked American companies.

Whoopi Angrily Defends Dems’ Worn Out ‘Trump Sucks’ Campaign Message
As NewsBusters has documented, ABC News’s The View was mostly a vector to pump Democratic Party propaganda to the masses and they publicly embraced it multiple times. So it made sense that during Tuesday’s episode that moderator Whoopi Goldberg would get enraged at liberal Mark Cuban for saying…
Shameless Hacks: NBC Runs Story Falsely Claiming Comer Uses Autopen Like Biden
On Tuesday morning, conservatives on X were set ablaze with a lunkheaded work of potbellied partisanship by NBCNews.com that insisted a scandal of rank hypocrisy was afoot: “Lead investigator into Biden’s use of an autopen signed letters with a digital signature.” The man in question? House Oversight Committee…
NPR Airs Puff Piece on Gay Latino Democrat Named Ranking Member on House Oversight
When Nancy Pelosi stacks a committee against Donald Trump, NPR treats that committee as the most newsworthy committee ever. By contrast, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer can’t count on NPR to notice his committee’s investigations at all. So it was mildly shocking that NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday…
David Brooks Tribute: Gergen Was Centrist, ‘A Good PBS Conservative Like Me’
Friday night’s PBS News Hour tribute to former presidential adviser and former News Hour “conservative voice” David Gergen, who died July 10 at the age of 83, demonstrates how mild, center-left political personas have long been the only flavor of “conservatism” that taxpayer-funded PBS can tolerate. (And if…
NewsBusters Podcast: No More Taxpayer-Funded Bullying of Conservatives
The debate over so-called “public” broadcasting should be focused on its fundamental unfairness toward Republicans and undisguised loathing of conservatives.
