Bias by Omission

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…

A full day after the horrific Minneapolis church shooting, the legacy newscasts were mostly trying to render the shooter into an afterthought. But, when forced to mention him in any meaningful way, they continued to adhere to liberal orthodoxy and refer to him by his preferred pronouns.

As predictable as the Sun rising in the East, death, and taxes: CBS’s John Dickerson delivering an insufferable editorial to close out the day’s broadcast of CBS Evening News Plus. Last night was no different, after a transgender individual shot up a Catholic church during a back-to-school Mass, killing two children and injuring many others.

In what appears to be a perverse “don’t say transgender challenge”, the legacy newscasts went out of their way to mention that the coward who entered into the Annunciation Catholic Church and opened fire on an ongoing Mass was in fact a transgender individual. The networks were equally circumspect about divulging the shooter’s motives.

CBS’s Scott MacFarlane is on an extended whine session regarding the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard personnel to the nation’s capital in order to solve a persistently high crime problem. In so doing, MacFarlane defends D.C.’s questionable crime data with the ferocity of Lt. Hiroo Onoda defending the Philippine jungles for decades after the end of World War II.

MRC President David Bozell joined Vince Coglianese on the VINCE podcast today to dissect the relentless tide of left-leaning media bias and the Media Research Center’s crucial role in holding the press accountable.

In an interesting editorial choice, CNN NewsNight host Abby Phillip elected to keep credibly-accused human trafficker, wifebeater and MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego García off the table and away from any meaningful panel discussion. Phillip instead elected to do a brief blurb on Abrego García to close the show.

President Trump issued an Executive Order in April reinforcing a policy, suspended by the Obama Administration, requiring commercial truckers to be able to read traffic and road signs and pass English proficiency tests to receive a Commercial Drivers License. The move didn’t cause a bottleneck of news coverage. But a horrific accident on the Florida Turnpike August 12, caused by an illegal…
