Since when does Brian Stelter borrow hot slang from Ben Shapiro on the COVID pandemic? Suddenly Stelter and Oliver Darcy are worrying out loud that the media is out of touch with the public....oh really?

As the liberal media devoted many hours to commemorating the 1/6 riot, it was considered horrible to "minimize" it, but it's apparently never objectionable to exaggerate it beyond belief -- an event where five died doesn't match the terrorist murder of 3,000.

NewsBusters rings in 2022 with stand-in host Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro alongside Research Director Scott Whitlock to discuss the media's New Year resolution to make every day -- and the upcoming midterm election season -- about January 6 in an attempt to swing the election for Democrats.

NPR recently suggested the Beatles signified how the rock band was a white-male institution. They also explained that "yacht rock" like Steely Dan, Toto, and the Doobie Brothers is culturally appropriated black music.

Briefing Room scribe Curtis Houck and Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro discuss CBS editing out comments one of their own reporters made about school closures and CNN claiming there’s no “malicious intent” when journalists make “innocent” mistakes.

On Wednesday’s podcast, newly minted early bird Curtis Houck and Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro discuss the Covid crazies in the media who are desperately trying to get America to reinstitute mass lockdowns. We also do a rundown on fun project I worked on “2021’s Top Dirty Dozen Fredo Moments from CNN’s Former Wise Guy.” And chatted with the newest member of the NewsBusters night crew, former intern Kevin Tober about his first few days of analysis.

On Monday’s NewsBusters Podcast, deputy managing editor Nicholas Fondacaro and I took a look at just some of the bad headlines that enveloped the Biden administration surrounding its doomed Build Back Better agenda, but before that, we went through a new documentary by liberal sports network ESPN that fawned over NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace.

Harvard's Nieman Lab looked ahead to the "news" business in 2022 and promoted an end to objectivity as a journalism ideal. "Solidarity for social justice" is the new fad, but solidarity with whom? The "marginalized" get a major boost, and if you're not "marginalized," you're going to get lectured about your advantages. They think the media's job is to create "transformational change" for the Left. 

The networks suggested that the House Democrats (on a mostly party-line vote) issued a "historic rebuke" of Trump by charging Mark Meadows with contempt of Congress. The same outlets were deeply bored when a GOP Congress held Eric Holder in contempt back in 2012.

Chris Wallace announced he was leaving Fox News, and then he joined CNN’s new streaming service. He even said he was “delighted to join Jeff Zucker and his great team.” But leaving Fox for CNN is like leaving the Super Bowl champs to join the Detroit Lions (or the Lions practice squad?)
