Bias by Omission

Late last week, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) wrote a letter admitting that they funded controversial gain-of-function (GOF) research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology where they would take virus samples and make them more infectious to people for the purposes of learning how they acted. All of that was whitewashed by ABC as This Week host George Stephanopoulos teed up Dr.…

CNN continued to escalate its dangerous rhetoric against Republicans on Sunday, as so-called “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter and LA Times columnist Jackie Calmes urged the press to ditch objectivity when reporting about Republicans and just portray them as threats to the country. She even claimed that’s not what she wanted to do while she actively called for it. This…

Over the weekend, ABC and NBC finally discovered the close gubernatorial race in Virginia between institutional Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican outsider Glenn Youngkin. And with the polls showing a dead heat between them, the networks adopted the talking points of the McAuliffe campaign as they railed against Youngkin as some kind of Donald Trump mini-me. At the same time, they ignored…

Recall the extensive and scornful media coverage then-President Donald Trump received when he beefed up security around the White House? On and on - and on and on - went similar stories in the national media mocking Trump for building his “wall” around the White House. And famously, of course, President Biden has made it crystal clear he will not build a wall on the southern border. All of…

Earlier this month, Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden administration used federal actions in an attempt to chill the exercise of free speech by concerned parents protesting their school boards after they were equated to domestic terrorists by the National School Boards Association. But on Thursday, Garland was held to account by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee in a…

MRC analysts looked at all of the news coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows, as well as CNN and MSNBC’s coverage (6am through midnight ET) from October 11 (publication of The Daily Wire investigation) through October 20 and found zero seconds spent on the following stories: Parents upset at transgender bathroom polices that led to sexual assaults of female students in Loudoun…

“Biden’s Secret Flights” the front page of Tuesday’s edition of the New York Post blared as they exposed how the administration was chartering private jets in the dead of night of send unaccompanied minors across the country. Of course, the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC were uninterested in President Biden’s ongoing and worsening crisis on the southern border, which included…

Fed-up parents made waves Tuesday after they filed a “federal civil rights lawsuit” against radical Attorney General Merrick Garland for unjustly suggesting parents protesting at school board meetings were committing “domestic terrorism.” This major development in the fight to de-radicalize liberal school boards went completely unmentioned by the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC, just as…

During a Tuesday interview with former Today show co-host Katie Couric, current NBC morning show host Savannah Guthrie scolded her predecessor for censoring comments made by late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a 2016 Yahoo News interview. Guthrie told Couric that the decision to edit out those remarks “violates a cardinal rule of journalism.”

On Monday evening, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) showed just how much they were done covering possibly the biggest blunder of Joe Biden’s presidency so far: abandoning Americans in an Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban. And Fox News Channel correspondent Trey Yingst put it best when he declared “This story is not over” while reporting on how some Americans were finally able to…

Over the weekend, a group of parents gathered outside the Department of Justice to protest the suggestion that parents outraged at radical leftist school boards were domestic terrorists. They stayed on message against schools poisoning kids with Critical Race Theory and apparent pornography in school books. Meanwhile, the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC kept silent on the rally as the…

On Monday, Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey called out the leftist media for the “silent disgrace” of refusing to cover how Americans are still left behind in Afghanistan following the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from the war-torn nation in August. It’s been hard to find any recent headlines about the foreign policy catastrophe, let alone personal stories about those abandoned by the…

Appearing on Fox News Channel’s Life, Liberty and Levin Sunday night, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell hammered the leftist media for “aiding and abetting” in the “cover-up” of the devastating impact of radical left-wing policies. Specifically, Bozell detailed the horrific case of a 14-year-old girl being allegedly raped by a male student in a Loudoun County, Virginia high…

With President Biden’s massive spending agenda falling apart in Congress (his own party’s infighting was seeing to its failure), former Reagan speechwriter, New York Post columnist and Commentary editor, John Podhoretz dropped some inconvenient truth bombs on Meet the Press’s liberal panel of mostly media types. Meanwhile, the panel spent much of their Sunday…
