Bias by Omission

Where is the massive liberal media coverage of exactly what’s going on with the sewer of hatred swamping the American Left? Scan the coverage of The New York Times or The Washington Post or left-wing TV networks and there is zero coverage of the not-so hidden threats coming from various quarters of the American Left.

The investigation into the senseless assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk continues apace. However, the legacy media continue to obfuscate critical details in order to avoid an uncomfortable truth that has been relevant to other recent shootings.

Weeks after it happened and days after other networks belatedly picked up the story, PBS News Hour on Tuesday arrived on the scene of the stabbing murder of Ukrainian refugee Irina Zarutska aboard a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Host Geoff Bennett painted the tragedy as a cynical Republican talking point, one "that claimed the life of a young Ukrainian refugee and has…

In what has become a predictable and boring exercise, the legacy news media freak out over a Supreme Court action that puts a stop to activist obstruction of President Trump’s agenda. This time, on immigration, with the added bonus of a freakout over the president’s "Chipocalypse Now” meme.

Despite having only each covered it once Monday, ABC and CBS were back Tuesday to ignoring video released in the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, omitting it from their flagship morning shows, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings. This return to a bias by omission came after Monday’s CBS Mornings broke the…

And on the 17th day, the legacy media finally got around to reporting the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on board a Charlotte light rail. Rather than simply reporting the inconvenient story straight up, though, NBC saw fit to engage in a little Trumpwashing.

A common feature of legacy media coverage leading up to the 2024 presidential campaign was their collective reluctance and/or outright refusal to cover heinous crimes that reflected poorly on key Democrat policies. With the 2026 midterms over a year out, it appears that the media are reverting to form. 

Like ABC and NBC, CBS’s Friday evening and Saturday morning newscasts ignored the arrest of multiple juveniles in Washington, D.C. for the murder of congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym. Unlike ABC and NBC, CBS Saturday Morning’s omission bias was made worse by the fact that Justice Correspondent Scott MacFarlane chose to hype a magistrate judge’s rebuke of the Trump…

As is often the case with legacy newscasts, an item reported with great fanfare becomes discarded once it is no longer useful to a narrative. Such is the case with details of what was seized during last week’s raid of John Bolton’s home.

National Public Radio on Friday tried hard to pretend there were no anti-Trump, anti-Christian, or anti-Semitic motives to be found in the August 27 murder of two children at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis by a male shooter who identified as “transgender.” The online headline to the radio report underlined the falsehood: “'There is no message': The search for ideological motives…

Six minutes into the newest episode of PBS’s weekly public affairs show Firing Line came a surprising admission from guest Sam Tanenhaus, whose 1,000-page authorized biography of conservative icon William F. Buckley has been published after a long gestation period. Buckley, who died in 2008, famously founded and hosted Firing Line between 1966 and 1999. The program was…

CBS News is once again at the center of a self-inflicted editorial practices firestorm, after excising significant portions of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s response to a question regarding “Maryland Dad” Kilmar Abrego García. CBS’s latest cooked interview left a recitation of the allegations against Abrego García on the cutting room floor.

Why do celebrities turn awards show speeches into political rants?

Despite mass shootings being on the decline in 2025 (and the last couple of years), CBS Evening News Plus (on the network’s streaming service), dedicated an interview segment to pushing for the return of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. They highlighted a study from Northwestern University that claimed that if the ban was still in place, then it would see “a significant reduction…
