NewsBusters

In a Thursday night article originally titled “An Iranian general dies in a U.S. attack, and Canada suffers,” the Associated Press made it abundantly clear who they blamed for the deaths of 176 people in the skies over Tehran. (Hint, it wasn’t the country that shot two surface-to-air missiles at a passenger jet.) (The headline has since been amended.)

Anyone watching celebrity Twitter Tuesday night might have gone to bed wondering which side Hollywood’s finest were on; Iran’s or America’s?…For instance, It author Stephen King couldn’t provide any support to US troops or our country’s interest or defense in the region — just another unhinged condemnation of Trump. 

Embarrassing “NBC Nightly News” Turns Itself into Infomercial for Iranian Regime

NewsBusters

Friday’s NBC Nightly News capped an ugly 24 hours for the liberal media after U.S. airstrikes killed Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani by doubling down on its bias, flashing outrageous chyrons, and fluffing pillows for the Iranians over the course of nearly 12 minutes of coverage.  With help from anchor Lester Holt’s August visit to Tehran, this kowtow came at the expense of the President and supporters of the strike as that side only fetched about two minutes of either direct soundbites or attributions.

The Most Obnoxious Liberal Bias of the Last Decade

NewsBusters

The decade began with liberal journalists and celebrities praising Barack Obama as a savior and the “Second Coming,” while depicting his political foes like the Tea Party as “racist” “terrorists” who wanted “a lot of people to die.” As the decade came to a close the lefty media hailed Hillary Clinton as “the smartest woman in the room” but compared Donald Trump and his conservative supporters to Nazis.

The news media are enthusiastically champions of the Democrats’ impeachment push against President Donald Trump, donating dozens of hours of free airtime to the cause…But 21 years ago, the same news media was enraged by the House vote to impeach a Democratic President, casting it as a “legislative coup d’etat” and a hateful act from “infuriated” Republicans who wished only to “torture” President Bill Clinton.

CNN Newsroom co-host Jim Sciutto and “climate correspondent” Bill Weir spent time Wednesday warning it may be “too late” to stop the upcoming environmental global catastrophe.

Networks Spend 75 Hours on Trump’s Impeachment, Barely Bothered During Clinton Years

NewsBusters

Broadcast networks NBC, CBS, and ABC have donated 75 hours of free air time to Democrats’ impeachment hearings, despite notably poor (and consistently shrinking) ratings. Yet during President Clinton’s impeachment, these same networks could not be bothered to carry more than a few hours of independent counsel Ken Starr’s one-day presentation of the evidence against Clinton on November 19, 1998.

Nearly All Americans Continue to Skip Dem Hearings

NewsBusters

If the idea behind wall-to-wall broadcast and cable news coverage of the Democrats’ impeachment hearings was to shift public opinion, then it’s not looking good for the Democrats…It’s also worth pointing out that the Fox News Channel — hardly the preferred network of the Trump haters — has been a consistent ratings winner (averaging 2.6 million), edging out the left-wing MSNBC (2.5 million) and handily beating the liberal broadcast networks (1.9 million each for ABC and CBS, compared to 1.8 million for NBC) and CNN (1.7 million).
