NewsBusters Podcast: Pre-Game Analysis on the Media SOTU-Squashers

NewsBusters Podcast: Pre-Game Analysis on the Media SOTU-Squashers

The annual State of the Union address is every president's golden opportunity to talk all over live national television for an hour and then some. We're poised for what happens afterward. They have touted Biden speeches as "forceful and feisty" and they have trashed Trump speeches as "intensely partisan." Look in the mirror, people.

NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider join the show to discuss the SOTU-squashers, like Mika Brzezinski insisting Trump's speech was dreadful and "the bottom line is his platform is based on hate and lies." Meanwhile, on the same show that year's Democrat in rebuttal, Stacey Abrams was praised as inspirational.

Four years ago, after Biden's pre-midterms speech, ABC's Jon Karl insisted Biden “didn't have a partisan edge to this speech. In fact, the overriding message was one of unity.”

Speaking of unity, patriotism at the Winter Olympics is something the Left cannot abide. HuffPost ran a piece channeling their angst: "If waving the American flag or chanting 'USA!' turns you off right now, you're not alone."

We also discussed how the Big Four News Apps are already twisting this week's news, and won't be pushing the story of Bill and Hillary Clinton testifying before the House Government Reform Committee on their Epstein associations.
