- Media Outlets Panic Over U.S. Capture of Maduro, Warning of Inspired Terrorism and Potential World War III
Baseless Terror Speculation by ABC: ABC's claim that the Maduro raid could inspire domestic terror attacks lacks evidence and ignores the operation's success in removing a dictator, echoing past media blame-shifting on U.S. actions.
CBS's Hypocritical Fuming on Authorization: CBS decries the lack of congressional or UN involvement as "mind-boggling," but this strategic bypass prevented leaks and ensured a "textbook" mission, as praised by military analysts.
CNN's WWIII Fear-Mongering Ignores Precedents: CNN warns the capture sets a dangerous example that could spark global conflict with Russia or China, yet overlooks similar U.S. operations like the bin Laden raid that faced no such apocalyptic backlash.
Flawed Comparisons to Russia by CNN: Equating the targeted Maduro arrest to Russia's invasive war in Ukraine is absurd, as the U.S. aimed for justice without occupation, highlighting media bias in framing American resolve as aggression.
This would not have been possible without the decades-long work of MRC NewsBusters, which led the fight in exposing and documenting the radical bias of PBS and NPR.
For decades, PBS & NPR have refused to comply with federal law which requires broadcasters to follow “strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature” (47 U.S.C. § 396(g)(1)(D)).The Media Research Center has been documenting this bias for years.
American taxpayers should not have to pay for left-wing propaganda.
ABC's Journalistic Blackout: ABC devoted just 25 seconds to the scandal, ignoring investigative details while spending nearly five times more airtime (122 seconds) portraying Somalis as victims of "fear" from ICE raids and Trump's rhetoric—clear evidence of agenda-driven reporting that shields fraud from scrutiny.
NBC's Reactive Reluctance: NBC avoided the story until a viral independent journalist's video racked up over 100 million views, forcing a belated two-minute report; before that, they gave it only 65 seconds while emphasizing backlash—highlighting how big media relies on outsiders to do their job and delays exposing scandals tied to progressive favorites.
CBS Stands Out for Real Journalism: Unlike its competitors, CBS delivered over eight minutes of coverage, including three full-length investigative reports uncovering new fraud details—showing that fair reporting is possible, but rare, in a landscape dominated by bias that downplays billions in taxpayer losses.
Historic Crime Plunge Ignored Amid Media Doom Narratives: Major U.S. crime categories saw unprecedented drops in 2025, including a 19.8% decline in murders—the largest one-year drop ever—along with double-digit reductions in violent and property crimes, even in D.C. with National Guard help. This massive safety win for Americans was sidelined as legacy media pushed pessimistic Democrat-aligned talking points.
Border Security Triumph Buried to Downplay Policy Successes: For seven straight months, zero illegal aliens were released by U.S. Border Patrol, with encounters hitting record lows and steadily declining since January 2025. This effective halt to unauthorized immigration showcased strong enforcement, yet went underreported as media focused on casting shadows over positive developments.
Iran's Nuclear Program Obliterated, Global Threat Averted Without Fanfare: A June 2025 U.S. military strike destroyed Iran's nuclear facilities, preventing the regime from developing weapons and eliminating a key international danger. This bold geopolitical victory for security was largely overlooked, fitting the pattern of media omitting uplifting stories that challenge negative framing.
