We could easily guess that the Democrats engaged in a conspiracy to put a "fake" Dan Sullivan on the ballot in the Alaska Senate race to confuse voters -- and lied about it. The New York Times confirmed it yesterday, that the Democrat nominee Mary Peltola was hip-deep in the conspiracy.

On Sunday, NBC "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker offered a perfect Exhibit B to her Exhibit A of partisan double standards. Two weeks ago, Welker lunged to help Michigan Democrat Abdul el-Sayed. Now she has lunged at the throat of Republican Mike Rogers for daring to criticize his opponent (her hero).

News networks, newspapers, and polling sites were embarrassed when the makers of the Wedgewood Poll admitted they were fakers. The polls weren’t real, but were being spread by The New York Times and MS NOW’s Ali Velshi, among others. Isn't it time to be skeptical of polls and how they’re promoted by the Democrat-touting media?

When federal investigators raided the D.C. home of radical Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over potential immigration fraud, the overarching media narrative matched the spin of Barack Obama: This is just Trump punishing a political opponent. That is not how journalists spun Team Biden authorizing a raid on Trump’s Florida home in 2023 over some classified documents.

No one likes putting gas in their car right now, but the networks talk about “soaring” or "skyrocketing" gas prices even as prices at the pump stay the same, or decline a bit. Four years ago, under Biden, they touted "relief" on gas prices when the price went down a few cents. The framing of inflation depends entirely on which party is in power.

How can you tell if an interview's tough or soft? When interviewing Trump, the host will interrupt repeatedly to challenge him. When interviewing a Democrat, the answers can go on for 300 words without interruption -- a small speech. Look at NBC's Kristen Welker badgering Trump, and it's nothing like her softball session with Abdul el-Sayed.

For more than five decades, conservative and Republican taxpayers were forced to subsidize PBS and their routinely leftist "news," or messaging. In the midterms, we have found again that they overwhelmingly pounce on the Republicans with negative spin on their "News Hour." Nobody can argue that spinning against the GOP 94 percent of the time is synonymous with "the truth."

When the networks try to drive President Trump's approval rating as low as possible, they avoid presenting any positive news. In the first term, they routinely skipped good news. Now we've compiled “Five Economic Facts the Media Don’t Want You to Know” as we head into midterm elections. The good news is Not News.

As we watch TV news during the midterm season, what we've mostly noticed is that there's not much news about candidates -- just some general tilt against Trump's bad approval ratings. But Democrats get a pass, and Republican flubs are news.

Is billions of dollars of fraud against America’s taxpayers NOT newsworthy? That's what you would find when looking on Google News or the elitist broadcast networks. Anything the Trump administration achieves is energetically ignored.

A federal judge overturned Trump's attempt to ban three elitist media outlets from the White House. The ban was doomed, but what did it accomplish? It spurred the journalists into a wave of pompous lectures about how they are an "essential mechanism of democracy" who represent the entire American people. What rot.

Christian Toto says the new Daily Wire movie "Run Hide Fight: Infidels" is like a "Red Dawn" for wokeness in academia. The Hollywood elite and their supportive media denounce it with words like "Islamophobic," "deranged," and "trolling."

What kind of morally upside-down world do the networks live in? After the mistrial of Lindsey Clancy, who strangled her three children, the morning and evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC were much nicer to the murderer than they were to the juror who refused to find Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity.

Is public trust in the media completely broken? Can it ever be fixed? The last Gallup poll found only 14 percent said they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in TV news. Former ABC News political director Mark Halperin explores how this has happened, and how he would try to fix it.

If a Democrat had proposed giving every American $5,000, the liberal, elitist media would be heralding it as a stroke of genius, not panning it like they did Wednesday and Thursday after President Trump raised the specter of it at night one of the GOP midterm convention. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro broke down the highlights and lowlights before covering a fascinating study on CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ before Sunday’s season premiere. The fellas also marked a year since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, 25 years since 9/11, and a new CNN-led smear against GunTuber Brandon Herrera.
