MRC Highlights CBS Reporting on Enes Kanter and Royce White Declaring for WNBA Draft

CBS Evening News stood out as the rare broadcast network to cover ongoing controversies surrounding the WNBA.

Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declared for the WNBA draft to protest transgender participation in women's sports.

CBS properly covered the flagrant-foul controversy involving Sophie Cunningham without adding agenda-driven commentary.

The legacy media networks typically ignore cultural stories that contradict leftist narratives.

 

MRC Exposes Morning Joe Meltdown Over Far-Left Streamer Hasan Piker

Joe Scarborough spent nearly thirty minutes ranting against Democrats for aligning with radical streamer Hasan Piker.

Hasan Piker previously claimed America deserved 9/11 and downplayed sexual violence committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7.

Pablo Torre attempted to defend Piker by comparing him to conservative commentator Charlie Kirk and framing Piker's anti-American statements as academic analysis.

Scarborough warned Democrats that embracing extreme woke ideology and radical figures will cost them key elections.

 

MRC Catches NBC Forcing Socialist Candidate to Admit Medicare for All Means Universal Tax Hikes

Michigan socialist candidate Abdul El-Sayed admitted that "Medicare for All" requires raising taxes on everyday working Americans.

NBC Meet The Press anchor Kristen Welker pressed El-Sayed after he attempted to dodge the tax question with talk of just targeting billionaires.

El-Sayed admitted workers would pay more, but they'd be trading their private health insurance paystub deductions for higher federal FICA taxes.

Independent economic studies estimate "Medicare for All" would add over thirty-two trillion dollars in new spending to the federal budget.

 

MRC Calls Out Katie Couric for Blaming Corporate Media Owners While Rating Press Coverage a D

Katie Couric is giving broadcast news networks a near failing grade for their coverage of the Trump administration.

Couric blamed declining trust in mainstream media on corporate owners like Jeff Bezos rather than persistent liberal bias.

Couric expressed alarm over conservative figures and non-traditional media ventures gaining traction in the industry.
