Newsbusters Rated Right in Dec. 2022 Independent Review

A Dec. 2022 Independent Review of Newsbusters returned a Right rating.

Newsbusters showed strong story choice and slant that aligned with the right. In one article, Newsbusters accused media networks ABC, NBC and CBS of ignoring the Twitter Files development on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal; another article stated that a children's book that "promoted transgenderism" "should be" under scrutiny; another stated that major networks were ignoring that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was under investigation for potential ethics violations. Another article was critical of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which threatened to file a complaint against a Memphis hospital for pausing transgender sex change surgeries. Newsbusters wrote, "the ACLU long ago lost interest in the stuff that’s actually in the Bill of Rights and is working to secure other important liberties: like the right to have doctors mutilate your private parts, whether they want to or not."
