OMISSION ROUNDUP: 3 Stories the Legacy Media Didn’t Want You to See
We at the Media Research Center have long argued that one of the most insidious forms of media bias is bias by omission: the exclusion of stories, or of key items within stories, that run counter to the ongoing media narrative. We cover those omissions as they happen, but they are usually limited to one high-profile story. But last night’s legacy evening news omitted THREE major items.

CBS Rips Comedians Taking Cash for Restrictive Shows in Saudi Arabia

‘Integrity’? Everyone Point & Laugh at MSNBC’s New ‘Core Principles’
Monday marked a major point in MSNBC’s split from parent company Comcast as NBC correspondents not based in Washington D.C. would no longer appear on MSNBC with D.C.-based reporters severing ties on October 20.
