Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, April 14, 2026

Since Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz sounded the alarm in January about the rampant Medicare fraud inside California's hospice system, ABC and NBC have not spent a second on their flagship morning and evening newscasts informing viewers of the billions of dollars scammed from U.S. taxpayers.

Overall, we rate Newsbusters Right Biased based on story selection that always favors the right. We also rate them borderline questionable due to the use of poor sources and numerous failed fact checks. One additional failed fact check will push this source by default onto the Questionable list.

This is what's called shooting the messenger, no counter argument, not even looking at DOJ statements.

If you were fair QCP, you would understand the "right" is the only news outlets to report it.

CBS has done good work on the topic as well to be fair, but they are now considered "right wing".

If you were honest QCP you'd acknowledge that California's Democrat Mia Bonta introduced California Assembly Bill 2624, "The Stop Nick Shirley Act"

It will criminalize investigative journalism.

Is this the America you want?

Tell us what happened in the New York fraud case....that turned out not to be fraud and Oz is just too dumb to read because he isn't a real doctor.

Why do lefties work so hard to DEFEND fraud. You all love these programs so much one would think you'd be enraged by fraud within the system. But you're not. You shoot the messenger.

" Why do lefties work so hard to DEFEND fraud. "

Did you miss the part about the last time around, the Trump administration lying about the level of fraud in a blue state?

Wouldn't a reasonable person believe that's a central tenant affecting this claim?

Tell us: do you watch the "news" outlets that are afraid to tell you the truth? Or did you know the truth, and are purposefully leaving out a very salient fact?

Again, like the fraud in New York that turned out to be made up?

Or the massive billions in fraud in Minnesota that turned out to be made up?

Why do righties lie about everything?

#1,

Whenever someone posts an article from MSNOW, ABC, PBS and almost every other "national" news source, will you post the same thing for them?

The comment that no one else is reporting this is valid.

They are mostly left leaning, which is why you wont see this posted.

That's just truth.

Here's your source: No prosecutions. No charges. No press releases on the investigation finding anything in 6 months.

Already a considerable conviction and a bunch of other trials on the docket. What in the heck is a "Learing Center"?
