MRC Exposes Broadcast Networks Gushing Over Far-Left Candidate Abdul El-Sayed

MRC documented how ABC, CBS, and NBC showered far-left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed with soft praise following his primary victory.

CBS and NBC combined to use the progressive label twenty-one times while shielding viewers from El-Sayed's radical policy positions.

ABC Good Morning America absurdly described the far-left candidate as a self-described capitalist despite his backing from Democratic Socialists.

Network broadcasts largely ignored El-Sayed's extreme foreign policy stances, including his opposition to American aid for Israel.

 

MRC Calls Out CBS Mornings for Softball Interview With El-Sayed

MRC revealed how CBS Mornings granted Abdul El-Sayed nearly six minutes of friendly airtime to repeat campaign stump speeches.

CBS anchors failed to press El-Sayed on his past controversial statements or his connections to radical anti-Israel figures. 

The network framed El-Sayed's demand to eliminate aid to Israel as a routine policy stance rather than an extreme position. 

CBS reporters lobbed softball questions designed to help El-Sayed build unity with mainstream voters after a divisive primary.

 

MRC Blasts MS NOW for Running Defense Over Candidate's Links to Extremist Streamer

MRC caught MS NOW running defense for Abdul El-Sayed after his ties to anti-American streamer Hasan Piker came under fire.

Network host Vaughn Hillyard attempted to minimize El-Sayed's active campaign partnership with the radical Twitch streamer.

MS NOW commentators complained about Republican campaign tactics rather than holding El-Sayed accountable for his extreme allies.

Guests on the network openly pushed for Democratic unity to protect the far-left nominee in the general election.

 

MRC Catches AP Fact-Checker Shielding NYC Mayor's Government Grocery Plan

MRC exposed an Associated Press fact-checker for running interference on behalf of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The Associated Press labeled conservative criticism as misinformation despite city officials openly discussing a library card tracking system.

Fact-checkers ignored the reality that obtaining a library card in New York City requires showing official government identification.

The media continues to shield progressive municipal policies from legitimate public scrutiny and debate.
