NBC: Visa Overstayer Arrest a 'Pro-Palestinian Protests' 'Crackdown'

The three broadcast networks of ABC, NBC, and CBS took different approaches to the news that more Columbia University students have been arrested, but none of them were good. NBC portrayed visa enforcement as a “crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests,” while CBS ignored the reason for the arrest, and ABC ignored her previous protest-related arrest and, like the others, that this is not the…

Brooks Lauds Schumer Folding On Shutdown: 'Country's Being Decimated'

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks had an actual debate on Friday’s PBS News Hour.

We've reached the five-year anniversary of when the U.S. government locked down the country to curb the Covid pandemic. It lasted much longer than "Two weeks to stop the spread." CBS and PBS explored the anniversary, but there were no apologies for getting so much of the "science" wrong and using the pandemic so mercilessly against Trump and Republican governors in an election year.

During the “By the Way” segment on Friday’s CBS Mornings Plus, CBS environmental correspondent David Schechter decried the Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Administrator Lee Zeldin by giving away the game on the climate alarmists by reupping a line that’s been deployed for at least five decades, which is we have “less than ten years” to save Earth from climate change…
