Crime

NBC’s Seth Meyers appeared torn on Wednesday’s Late Night between trying to argue that conservative talking points about crime in big cities are false and that, actually, it is red states that have a crime problem. To justify such a conclusion, Meyers appeared totally unaware that you can have a blue city inside of a red state.

Tuesday night on his show On Balance, NewsNation host Leland Vittert lambasted progressives and their media allies dismissing concerns about crime in Washington D.C. by invoking President Trump’s role in the events of January 6, 2021 as a way to shutdown debate, calling it a “playbook” hell bent on “hijack[ing]” debate to “something four years ago that has absolutely nothing to do with the…

Republicans living in Washington, D.C. were relieved that the city’s out-of-control crime was elevated to a national conversation after President Trump decided to take federal action to quash it. In a segment on Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s The Lead, Republican strategists Lauren Tomlinson and Doug Heye out classed former DNC communications director Karen Finney in proving that D.C. had a crime…

Following CNN’s The Arena host Kasie Hunt’s tough interview Tuesday with D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D) about his role (or lack thereof) in addressing crime in the nation’s capital, her panel did nothing to defend hin. Rather, they doubled down on the city continuing to have issues with crime and even admitted part of it nationwide has stemmed from police officer shortages caused by…

New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker joined Wednesday’s Chris Jansing Reports and unleashed, even by MSNBC’s standards, one of the most ridiculous reductio ad Putinum claims ever uttered on the network as he claimed the Russian dictator would “feel very comfortable” in Donald Trump’s America.

Last night’s edition of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, more colloquially known as the “Thunderdome”, opened with a segment on the federalization of Washington D.C.’s Metro Police Department- which is clearly the media’s Current Thing (at least until the Smithsonian cycle kicks off in earnest). A liberal media darling tried to flex his talking points outside of the usual amen corner and got…

After a couple of news cycles, it is clear that the legacy media’s Current Thing to be outraged over is the federalization of Washington D.C.’s Metro Police Department. In support of this narrative, they insist on omitting the fact that those crime data are very likely to be cooked.

While much of the liberal media coverage about President Trump’s federalizing of Washington D.C.’s police and deployment of the National Guard has been negative and dismissive of crime in the capital, CNN’s Kasie Hunt provided a welcome respite Tuesday as she spent nearly 11 minutes on The Arena thoroughly grilling D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D) over the city’s soft-on-crime policies…

Talking heads on CNN and MSNBC are convinced President Trump has some shadowy ulterior motive for assuming federal control of policing in Washington, D.C. In addition to citing cooked crime statistics to protest President Trump’s federalization of policing in D.C., panelists on the liberal cable networks have begun offering up wild theories for what Trump’s “real” goal was.

ABC, CBS, and NBC doubled down early Tuesday in their dangerous and irresponsible narrative that crime is not an issue in Washington D.C., following suit from their pathetic coverage on their flagship Monday evening newscasts. But on their flagship morning shows, they crucially brushed aside the nation’s capital having a crime problem while ignoring a murder in broad daylight in the Logan…

Liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have been citing fabricated statistics in an attempt to debunk President Trump’s claims on Monday about rampant crime in Washington, D.C. Over the past 24 hours, these two networks have cited the dubious statistics over 70 times, while refusing to acknowledge that a D.C. police official was suspended for tampering with those stats just months ago.

NBC’s Seth Meyers hyped on Monday’s Late Night some highly suspect fact-checking from CNN during President Trump’s press conference when he announced he is federalizing Washington, DC’s law enforcement because, for Meyers, the binary choice is between Trump and CNN’s “stat nerds.”

Error-prone science reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, infamous for her alarmist and faulty COVID-era reporting, made the front page of Monday’s New York Times with a story on a gunman’s assault on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta that killed a policeman, “C.D.C. Shooting Followed Years of Demonization -- Staff Feels Betrayed as Fears Come True.” She quickly…

All three broadcast networks reported Monday on President Trump announcing a takeover of the D.C. police, but only NBC attempted any balance on the matter. ABC and CBS both rained skepticism on the policy as unnecessary and overwrought.
