On Thursday morning, CNN’s The Situation Room walked back the network’s original narrative that the Trump administration was at fault in the preparation and response to the deadly Texas floods. CNN senior crime and justice correspondent Shimon Prokupecz pointed out that the burden fell on local government response and not on the federal government’s spending cuts as CNN originally…

The anniversary of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump is upon us and with it, news of the actions taken by the Secret Service after reviewing the many breakdowns that led to the current President of the United States almost getting gunned down in Butler, Pennsylvania. This is without a doubt a story of enormous national import, and yet, NBC News has not seen fit to cover it…

On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s The Briefing With Jen Psaki cited FEMA cuts as a main factor for the response to the Texas floods. Psaki still used this narrative despite multiple reports coming out that emergency management and response had been on par with or exceeded expectations.  

On Tuesday, the Associated Press published an article detailing the “abrupt end” to USAID support to people in Liberia not being able to gain access to contraceptives. The AP used cherry-picked and one-sided narratives to paint the Trump administration as monsters. The article started with a woman named Roseline Phay, a 32-year-old farmer who has two daughters and was “determined not to have…

The Independence Day edition of the PBS News Hour, guest-anchored by John Yang, featured two liberal Supreme Court experts sympathetically discussing Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee whose votes have trended leftward of late, pleasing liberals and disappointing conservatives. The panelists discussed conservative death threats against Barrett without mentioning the left-…

ABC was surprisingly the only major broadcast network to break in Thursday afternoon for a special report on the House passage of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which he’s slated to sign into law Friday. What was unsurprising, however, was the ABC presented a wholly negative perspective declaring the bill was to “mostly” benefit “the wealthiest Americans” while stating as though it’s a…

On June 25, a 33-year-old Marxist Muslim named Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City. Over the following week, broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS ran nearly an hour of coverage about the self-described democratic socialist, but spent less than two minutes on his numerous radical positions and scandals.

On Tuesday night, MSNBC host Jen Psaki interviewed leftist Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) on The Briefing to denounce the Big Beautiful Bill. Psaki praised Frost as “passionate” and “important” for his ability to delay the bills passing immediately following his five-minute-long, fact oblivious, fearmongering segment.

Tonight’s CBS Evening News offerings presented viewers with an amazing split screen as it fell upon John Dickerson to deliver the news that Paramount Global entered into a settlement agreement that would terminate the lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump.

On Monday, NBC News released a story which claimed that more than 14 million people will die in five years as a result of USAID cuts by the…

On Friday, ABC’s Good Morning America ran a segment decrying the decrease in funding and support for Pride Month by corporations that once used to offer suffering levels of support. GMA used a series of syrupy clips which created a narrative of pressure by the LGBTQ community on corporations to back them financially and publicly or else they hate the gay and transgender community.

If a California elected official calls for gang violence against federal agents tasked with enforcing immigration law but it wasn’t reported on the legacy network newscasts, did it really happen? This seems to be the stance over at the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts with regard to the vice mayor of Cudahy, California’s call to ganbanger insurrection.

This morning on The Situation Room, CNN broke news on the 6-3 Supreme Court ruling limiting the ability of lower courts to generate nation-wide injunctions. CNN chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid spent her whole segment on how monumental the ruling was, drawing to the conclusion that Republicans and the “conservative super majority” were to be feared. 

On Wednesday night’s The Briefing, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki had on self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, following his win in New York City’s Democratic Party mayoral primary race. Psaki used words like “joyful,” “inviting,” and “authentic” all words that downplayed Mamdani’s harmful policies and hateful rhetoric towards Jewish people.
