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.

On the April 16 PBS News Hour, as federal funding for both PBS and NPR was coming under heavy fire, co-PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz boasted that on her program, “we regularly invite and host conservative and Republican voices.” But is that true? Two new Media Research Center studies tracked and labeled every guest who appeared on the PBS News Hour and NPR’s…

Comedy Central’s Tuesday version of The Daily Show ended on a somber note as host-of-the-week Josh Johnson welcomed the founder and executive director of Black Girl Environmentalist, Wawa Gatheru, to the program to lament that under the Trump Administration, left-wing environmental groups are no longer being bankrolled by the federal government.

The aerobic freakout has begun inside the liberal media over the new owners of CBS News appointing “anti-woke” Bari Weiss to the new post of “Editor In Chief.” None of the CBS veterans want a new boss with a new ideology. They like pretending they don’t have an ideology. They call themselves courageously “independent.”

In a radical departure from the reporting we usually see with regard to immigration, a legacy news outlet elected to report GOOD news related to the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce the southern border. NBC’s report on the border is a real eye-opener:

On her MSNBC show, The Briefing, former Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki is highly critical of Jared Kushner's involvement in the Gaza peace deal, given his financial dealings with Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In contrast, Joe Scarborough is full of praise for Kushner's involvement, saying that his experience in the region and relationships with the players are very valuable. David Ignatius agrees with…

The article critiques the media's overuse of the term "pouncing" to describe Republicans exploiting Democratic scandals, like the one involving Jay Jones, a Democrat AG candidate in Virginia. The issue has sparked backlash, with Republicans like President Trump and Gov. Glenn Youngkin criticizing Jones and leveraging the scandal against the Democratic slate, particularly targeting Abigail…

Perhaps the single biggest change new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss could make to the liberal and perpetually third-place network is simply covering stories their competition (ABC and CBS) avoid and/or simply defend American values. One such example was on Tuesday’s CBS Mornings as senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams blasted A-list comedians taking huge paydays to…

New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo was pressed from the left by 11^th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle over sharing mutual donors with President Trump during a taped interview, Monday night. Cuomo was unwilling to admit why Republicans would be willing to align themselves with him, and made an effort to create distance between the two sides by attacking Trump.

Fox News Channel host Kayleigh McEnany closed out the third episode of her new weekend show Saturday in America by focusing on Gallup’s new finding of record-low trust in the media at only 28 percent, which she predictably wasn’t surprised by as evidenced by her time as White House press secretary.

ABC News program The View knew that heated political rhetoric could incite someone to political violence, that’s why they joined in calls to bring down the temperature following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Thus, when they engaged in incendiary rhetoric during Tuesday’s episode – when they insisted that the National Guard was going to steal the upcoming midterm elections – it…

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. But the funniest aspect of Monday’s split was the release of a new code of conduct — dubbed “10 core principles” by an executive with MSNBC’s new parent company, Versant — that include…

HBO’s John Oliver had two distinctly outrageous hot takes on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight. First, Oliver called ICE operations that seek to enforce immigration laws “state-sanctioned kidnapping,” and later, during his deep dive into presidential libraries, claimed that former President Ronald Reagan is in hell.

NBC’s 51st season of Saturday Night Live got off to a rough start as cast member Bowen Yang dressed up as Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter for a heavily sarcastic Weekend Update segment that mocked British author J.K. Rowling for dissenting from the left’s trans orthodoxy.
