Once again, CBS News blurs the line between reporting and advocacy for Hamas-adjacent positions. And tonight, it veered into spokespersonship.

As threats and violence against Jews escalate across college campuses throughout the United States in the wake of Hamas' barbaric terrorist attacks, some in media choose to downplay or both-side the overall threat. Case in point, CBS News' report on the arrest of a student that threatened Jews at Cornell University.

Picking up where their colleagues at ABC & NBC left off earlier in the day, CBS Evening News joined the leftist outrage mob in mourning Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old New York City homeless man and violent felon who had been arrested more than 40 times who died Monday during an incident on a New York City subway. According to multiple witnesses, Neely was menacing other passengers on…

Eleven years ago this week, NewsBusters helped expose how deceptive editing by NBC News made the already-tense situation surrounding the killing of Trayvon Martin even worse; the resulting scandal led NBC to fire three people involved in the story, yet the network refused to issue an on-air correction or apology.

On Tuesday, NewsBusters reported that the broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC had abandoned the environmental fallout from the February 3 train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio on their flagship morning and evening shows with zero seconds on ABC and only a minute and 42 seconds on CBS and NBC after an evacuation order was lifted on February 8.

After downplaying or ignoring the rapidly deteriorating situation at the southern border, the big three evening newscasts sang a different tune Wednesday night having realized they can no longer ignore the situation without looking out of touch. 

After having been repeatedly called out on this site for skimping on the latest episode in the Biden border crisis, CBS and NBC finally had full segments Tuesday night and Wednesday morning on the record invasion of illegal immigrants pouring across the U.S. southern border and pushing strained border towns to a breaking point (while ABC moved on).

A devastating drug crisis is sweeping across the open southern border and wreaking havoc across the country. But while the network newscasts are covering the fentanyl epidemic, there has been almost no mention of culpability for Joe Biden, the man in charge of the immigration policy leading to the crisis. MRC analysts reviewed every fentanyl story on the network morning and evening newscasts…

Last fall, the networks hyped the now-false claim that Border Agents attacked and “whipped” migrants at the border. But when a heroic National Guardsman drowned while attempting to rescue illegals in the Rio Grande river, CBS and NBC buried the story, allowing no coverage. ABC allowed a scant 20 seconds. 

On Thursday, CBS Mornings smeared the effort by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to secure the U.S. southern border using state law enforcement and National Guard troops as an “expensive political stunt.” The network broadcast seemed puzzled by why Texas would have to step in to stem the flow of illegal immigration, as if reporters were completely unaware of the Biden administration’s…

After having all but ignored it for weeks (and footnoted it over the weekend), ABC and CBS devoted full segments on Monday morning to the “Freedom Convoy” in Canada by truck drivers and supporters protesting the Liberal government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, but dismissed them as standing in the way of Canada’s “efforts to control” the virus and making life difficult and violent for those in…

Throughout the weekend and on Monday morning, CBS and NBC expressed exasperation and shock at the mass, rampant looting of cargo and packages from Union Pacific trains in Los Angeles, calling it “nuts,” “shocking,” “unbelievable,” and proof America’s “falling apart at the seams” to the point of “hav[ing] just totally lost control.” 

Another head has rolled behind NBC’s iron curtain as the troubled, so-called "news" network continues to drop the guillotine on those responsible for the deliberately misleading edits to Zimmerman’s 9-1-1 call. NBC has now fired three people from two different offices over at least two different edits of George Zimmerman’s now infamous 9-1-1 call prior to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.…

It's been several weeks since NBC disgraced itself by repeatedly airing doctored audio of George Zimmerman talking to a 9-1-1 dispatcher but the network has yet to apologize on the air, hoping instead that its paltry efforts of firing a lone producer and conducting an investigation into the matter but not releasing a report to the public would be sufficient. Incredibly, it was a New York Times…
