NewsBusters (affectionately nicknamed Newsblusterers) is a conservative media watch website that styles itself as "Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias". The site is an extension of Brent Bozell's Media Research Center. While it is an admirable goal to keep check on the media (quis custodiet ipsos custodes?[1]), it does not so much expose "liberal bias" as try to ram a conservative bias in all over the place. The site also has a blatant anti-science agenda, often criticizing stories on evolution and global warming that don't give time to creationist or denialist perspectives for having "liberal bias."
