We at the Media Research Center have long argued that one of the most insidious forms of media bias is bias by omission: the exclusion of stories, or of key items within stories, that run counter to the ongoing media narrative.

Comedy Central’s Tuesday version of The Daily Show ended on a somber note as host-of-the-week Josh Johnson welcomed the founder and executive director of Black Girl Environmentalist, Wawa Gatheru, to the program to lament that under the Trump Administration, left-wing environmental groups are no longer being bankrolled by the federal government.

The aerobic freakout has begun inside the liberal media over the new owners of CBS News appointing “anti-woke” Bari Weiss to the new post of “Editor In Chief.” None of the CBS veterans want a new boss with a new ideology. They like pretending they don’t have an ideology. They call themselves courageously “independent.”

In a radical departure from the reporting we usually see with regard to immigration, a legacy news outlet elected to report GOOD news related to the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce the southern border. NBC’s report on the border is a real eye-opener:

On her MSNBC show, The Briefing, former Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki is highly critical of Jared Kushner's involvement in the Gaza peace deal, given his financial dealings with Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In contrast, Joe Scarborough is full of praise for Kushner's involvement, saying that his experience in the region and relationships with the players are very valuable. David Ignatius agrees with…

The article critiques the media's overuse of the term "pouncing" to describe Republicans exploiting Democratic scandals, like the one involving Jay Jones, a Democrat AG candidate in Virginia. The issue has sparked backlash, with Republicans like President Trump and Gov. Glenn Youngkin criticizing Jones and leveraging the scandal against the Democratic slate, particularly targeting Abigail…

Perhaps the single biggest change new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss could make to the liberal and perpetually third-place network is simply covering stories their competition (ABC and CBS) avoid and/or simply defend American values.

New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo was pressed from the left by 11^th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle over sharing mutual donors with President Trump during a taped interview, Monday night.

Fox News Channel host Kayleigh McEnany closed out the third episode of her new weekend show Saturday in America by focusing on Gallup’s new finding of record-low trust in the media at only 28 percent, which she predictably wasn’t surprised by as evidenced by her time as White House press secretary.
