On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, managing editor Curtis Houck and associate editor Nick Fondacaro discuss how the liberal media aren’t letting a good crisis go to waste as they use the heinous attack against Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband as a prop to help Democratic chances in midterm elections. They also break down a new NewsBusters study exposing how the liberal broadcast networks have given the Pelosi attack 11 times the airtime of the assassination attempt of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Social-media networks are a hot topic going into the midterms. Leftists are losing their minds over Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter and a Free Speech America study shows Google's search algorithm suppresses some of the hottest Republican Senate candidates. Joseph Vazquez joins the show to explain the Big Tech developments.

The network shows leaped on a second anonymous woman claiming Herschel Walker paid for her abortion. It's a weird take, since they love abortions and don't think they're scandalous, unless a Republican pays for one. The media simply hate minority Republicans, who can't truly be minorities unless they're fully Democrat.

The one and only debate between Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate candidates was a debacle for Democrat John Fetterman. But the post-debate coverage lauded Fetterman's "courage," downplayed his disabilities (or made them a virtue), and hammered Republican Mehmet Oz for his allegedly "heinous" remarks in favor of making abortion legislation up to the states.

The ABC and NBC Sunday shows expressed disgust at "election denier" Kari Lake running for governor of Arizona. When ABC's Jon Karl pressed her on being Trump's running mate in 2024, she said she's staying home to be "the fake news's worst nightmare." 

MSNBC host Joy Reid is smearing Florida under DeSantis as a "Jim Crow state" and spreading the bizarre notion that white Republican men don't know how babies are made. Kevin Tober has the download.

Whether it's in the midterm debates or the forthcoming Republican presidential debates, conservative and Republican voters should never have to accept "moderators" that debate with Republicans or toss gentle softballs to Democrats. Moderators should work hard to appear neutral and not make Republicans debate two Democrats.

A review of the Sunday morning shows demonstrated they're doubling down on defending Democrats, on everything from Defund The Police to Biden's failure to communicate.  CBS preposterously suggested talk radio was uniquely divisive and terrible for America. 

The final pre-election hearing of the Pelosi-picked January 6 Committee was overtly designed as midterm messaging for the Democrats -- including in fundraising emails. The media coverage suggests one party is in favor of democracy, and the other one is a mortal threat to democracy. We discuss the patterns with NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck.

There were two big TV interviews on October 11. CNN kicked off their primetime Jake Tapper show with a softball interview with Biden, while NBC sternly questioned John Fetterman. Kevin Tober joins the show to analyze it all.
