CBS Evening News

The legacy media have had a brutal past couple of weeks, and it shows. But with the newly-inaugurated Florida immigration detention center officially known as Alligator Alcatraz now fully operational, the legacies have resorted to pettiness, refusing to address the facility by name.

Tonight’s CBS Evening News offerings presented viewers with an amazing split screen as it fell upon John Dickerson to deliver the news that Paramount Global entered into a settlement agreement that would terminate the lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump.

With the tax and spending bill known as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” passing the Senate, it appears that the legacy media’s evening newscasts mostly chose to offer up a rehash of their coverage ahead of the Senate vote. Critical in spots and argumentative in others, and in stark contrast with coverage garnered by big legislation secured for the Biden administration.

On Monday, CBS Evening News highlighted a report on immigration in California that’s sole purpose was to generate fear of Immigration and Customs Enforcement not just in illegal immigrants, but in all Hispanic-Americans. Correspondent Adam Yamaguchi, highlighting the unwarranted fear that some citizens were feeling that they could be deported, tried his best to reaffirm those fears by…

CBS Evening News closed out June, on Monday, by decrying federal budget cuts eliminating two Department of Agriculture food programs totally $1 billion. The report, delivered by correspondent Meg Oliver, dismissed the fact that they were both temporary COVID-era programs. Yet, she had the audacity to lament that “farmers and frontline workers [were left] to pick up the pieces while…

The Legacy Media took turns taking potshots at the One Big, Beautiful Bill in their network evening newscasts. This is in stark contrast to how large Biden-era legislation was covered and serves to remind us that if it weren’t for double standards, there’d be none at all.

CBS sent foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab to Iran for a Friday report on Evening News that was ostensibly about getting Iranian reactions to the recent war with Israel but in reality was just an uncritical regurgitation of regime propaganda.

If a California elected official calls for gang violence against federal agents tasked with enforcing immigration law but it wasn’t reported on the legacy network newscasts, did it really happen? This seems to be the stance over at the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts with regard to the vice mayor of Cudahy, California’s call to ganbanger insurrection.

On Thursday, CBS showed some admirable news judgment on CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News by choosing to inform viewers about a ticking fiscal bomb many fiscal hawks have been warning about for decades, which is Social Security essentially going broke in the next decade. Even though it’s being talked about as a Republican is in the White House, it’s still worth giving…

With the current Supreme Court term winding down there remain several big opinions on the docket, including on whether district courts will continue to be able to issue national injunctions. One of those opinions came down today, allowing states to ban Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.

Liberal journalists rush to the support of other liberal journalists to insure the wider distribution of liberal bias. That’s why you see networks like CBS rushing to defend “public” radio in "rural" Shreveport, Louisiana (pop. 187,000). CBS headlined its online story: "Inside a Louisiana NPR station threatened by federal cuts: 'Without it, people would die'."

Another day, another pompous and in this case weird editorial to close out John Dickerson’s CBS Evening News Plus. As is often the case, Dickerson yields to his Trump-deranged impulses while emoting on any one of the issues of the day. In this case, President Donald Trump’s successful NATO summit.

The leaked and Natasha Bertrand-laundered Defense Intelligence Agency assessment of the aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow, quickly made it to the top of the legacy media evening news. Its promise of a minor setback for Iran’s nuclear program, as opposed to total destruction, was uniformly parroted, touted and…

In a grotesque close to Sunday’s CBS Weekend News, anchor Jericka Duncan delivered a summary of the history between the United States and Iran that began in 1953 and ended in 1980. In essence, Duncan told half the story. Unfortunately, it was the mullahs’ half.
