Bias by Omission

It’s not news to say the liberal media hates Trump. That’s both yesterday’s news and tomorrow’s news.

After Monday’s Supreme Court ruling vacating a lower court ruling that had allowed Texas to place razor wire along the U.S.-Mexico border without inference from the Biden Border Patrol, the flagship morning and evening newscasts on ABC and NBC have moved on from the border showdown, even as tensions rise with Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) remaining resolute in having Texas Department of Public…

With the liberal media having achieved their dream 2024 match-up with former President Donald Trump all-but set to face off against President Joe Biden, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to acknowledge the existence of Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN) as President Biden’s primary challenger and pulled 20 percent in the (unofficial) New Hampshire Democratic primary. It wasn’t…

PBS NewsHour devoted two stories about children struggling in schools after the COVID pandemic. But amid the handwringing there was no mention of how teachers unions are to blame for what turned out to be unnecessary school shutdowns, for over a year in some liberal cities, ruining activities and life events students had come to rely on. Even worse, a story about delays in speech…

The Friday evening and Saturday morning shows for ABC, NBC, and CBS all ignored Friday’s 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. where thousands turned out in the cold and the snow to protest the killing of the unborn. Friday’s NBC Nightly News was the worst offender because not only did they ignore pro-lifers, they actively promoted pro-abortion high schoolers.

Some of our major networks made an editorial decision not to cover the upcoming hearing, ordered by the judge overseeing the Trump trial in Atlanta, regarding misconduct allegations against Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis. We are thus reminded of that great Iowahawk quote: “Journalism is about covering important stories, With a pillow. Until they stop moving.”

As is often the case, the network newscasts will tout a narrative that is friendly to Democrats in power. In this case, that would be the Biden administration. But as is also often the case, the networks will shut down or suppress new information that will contravene that narrative. Such is the case with the ongoing battle between Texas and the Biden Department of Homeland Security over a…

Before many Iowa caucus sites even had attendees cast their ballots, most national news organizations projected former President Trump as the winner, leading to cries of election interference (despite most admitting that was already going to be the outcome). Early Tuesday, CBS Mornings and co-host Tony Dokoupil went against the grain and, unlike ABC’s Good Morning America and…

On Monday, ABC’s Good Morning America broke the nearly week-long blackout among the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC on their flagship morning and evening newscasts in reporting the 2020 election case against former President Trump and his 18 co-defendants could fall apart as Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis has been facing allegations of a romantic relationship…

If an insurrection happened and no one reported on it, did it really happen? Can the perpetrators of violence escape accountability if it escaped the notice of the corporate media? These questions were put to the test as the corporate media conducted a virtual blackout of Saturday night’s violent protests outside the White House.

On Tuesday, the flagship morning news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to acknowledge a Monday night bombshell revelation via one of the 18 co-defendants of former President Trump in his Fulton County, Georgia case that the county’s district attorney office should be barred from prosecuting them due to an inappropriate romantic relationship between lead D.A. Fani Willis and a man brought on…

In a year-ending hour-long PBS election special America at a Crossroads, former NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff uncorked a  history of "mean" political debate and violence all conveniently came from the right, with leftism identified as going forward and MAGA going backward, bookended with bits of Woodruff labeling bias, from 1984 to 2023.

According to the liberal media, Republicans and their heartless laws that protected unborn life were putting lives in danger. But when it came to admitting Oregon’s drug decriminalization law had become an unmitigated and deadly disaster, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings was noticeably mute on casting blame on the party that controlled all aspects of the state government: Democrats. And even…

If ABC News is going to spend precious newscast time on a sex predator that tried to grab and do God-knows-what to three female students on separate occasions, then wouldn’t it be worthwhile to provide viewers with as much information as possible on the suspect so people know what to look for? It appears not.
