Media Reality Check

The spiraling crisis on America’s southern border is spreading, rippling to all parts of the country with impacts on crime and national security. But you wouldn’t know that if you watched the networks in January. The total on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts dropped to a shocking ZERO for the month. 

Will we see members of the leftist media that most vociferously PUSHED the Russia collusion hoax, attack the Clinton camp with the same volume? Don’t bet on it. The following is a look at some of the most over-the-top instances of liberal journos attempting to bring down former President Trump with disproven claims of an election collusion with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

NBC News President Noah Oppenheim, on January 19, spat out the laughable line that his news network is “ferociously defending the idea that it’s possible to....be objective and nonpartisan.” Well his employees didn’t get the memo. Here is just some of the worst bias from NBC/MSNBC hosts and pundits since the NBC News president made that ludicrous statement. 

With Joe Biden’s popularity cratering, the White House finally announced on Tuesday that the President will submit to a pre-Super Bowl interview, talking to Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. The confirmation came late, just five days before the world-wide event. 

In January, the networks went silent on Critical Race Theory. It was not mentioned on any of the network morning or evening shows. But if you think the threat of CRT is gone, you are sadly mistaken. For much of last year, especially as Virginia prepared for a governor’s election with CRT being a focal point, ABC, CBS and NBC repeatedly told us that it was “not taught in schools.” 

After NBC News’s morning and evening shows spent only 12 minutes, 22 seconds (in a year) on China’s horrific genocide of the Uyghurs, NBC actually managed to equal that coverage of the Uyghurs in just one night and morning of their Beijing Olympics coverage. However, there were other moments in the coverage that sounded like they were cribbed from a Chi-Com’s propaganda booklet.

It’s official. Joe Biden is more unpopular than Donald Trump. As of February 1, 2022, Biden’s Real Clear Politics (RCP) average of all the polls showed him at 41.4 percent approval and 54.7 percent disapproval. At this point in his presidency, exactly four years ago, Trump’s RCP average stood at 41.5 percent approval and 54.5 percent disapproval. 

MRC analysts looked at China policy stories on the broadcast evening and morning news programs for an entire year (January 31, 2021-January 31, 2022) and discovered the nets devoted a paltry 13 minutes, 38seconds to the ongoing genocide.  

Last week saw explosive developments in the crisis at the border, a crisis that is now spreading throughout the country. But you wouldn’t know that from the corrupt news networks that are censoring the shocking details of multiple border-related nightmares. Here's the latest bombshell border crisis stories that ABC, CBS and NBC's morning and evening newscasts are censoring. 

When Joe Biden announces his new Supreme Court nominee in February, you can probably be sure of one thing: Media outlets will call this person a “moderate.” The network newscasts are pushing that same (false) talking point on Stephen Breyer after he announced his retirement from the Court.

On Thursday it was officially announced that MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle will take over the timeslot previously occupied by “Lying” Brian Williams. The following is just a sampling of the Worst of Stephanie Ruhle’s work at MSNBC via the MRC’s archives. 

Joe Biden suffered another major defeat last week, this time at the hands of moderate Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. For months, the two have suffered abuse and harassment at the hands of left-wing activists. During this time, rather than turn down the rhetoric, journalists downplayed, ignored or participated in the vitriol against Sinema and Manchin. 

Thursday marks the one year anniversary of Joe Biden’s inauguration. And while the Democratic president is deeply unpopular and dealing with several policy failures, journalists had high hopes on January 20, 2021. They compared the Democrat to Lincoln, called him our “papa-in-chief,” hailed the return of “facts and truth.” It’s quite the contrast to the actual results of the President who is…

The following is a look at how the broadcast evening news shows (ABC’s World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News) have covered or, more accurately, BURIED Harris’s most embarrassing moments in the past year.
