NPR's Folkenflik Assembles the Anonymous Bari-Bashers Inside CBS News
On Tuesday, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik was back on his “keeping liberal media outlets liberal” beat with a preview of Tuesday’s Bari Weiss meeting with CBS staff. First, let’s express amusement at how liberal journalists grant other liberal journalists anonymity so they can avoid “professional repercussions.”
ABC, CBS OMIT Hotel Assault by Minneapolis Insurrectionist Mob
Evening news coverage of the continuing unrest in Minnesota focused nearly exclusively on the death of Alex Pretti and subsequent fallout, including personnel changes as far as who is in charge of immigration enforcement operations. But two out of the three major broadcast networks neglected to cover the destruction of the lobby of a hotel suspected of harboring government personnel.
‘Haunting,’ ‘Upsetting’; Nets Spend Friday Burying ICE Over Child Case
Friday’s lead morning and evening network newscasts were no different from the Thursday shows in smearing ICE and their handling of an incident with a five-year-old boy, expressing horror over the “disturbing,” “haunting,” “powerful,” and “upsetting” images and narrative (concocted by a slew of AWFLs that seem to run the school district the child was attending). By the evening, they zoomed out…
‘Never Wavered’; Networks Trumpet Jack Smith Amid Trump ‘Threat’
On Thursday night and Friday morning, the broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC welcomed former special counsel Jack Smith like a conquering hero as he sat for a “fiery” and “tense” hearing, but had “no regrets” and “never wavered” in wanting to protect “the rule of law” from Donald Trump and Republicans wanting to level a “threat of retribution.”
IT’S (D)IFFERENT: The Media’s Strange New Interest in Migrant Children
It is evident, with a Republican administration in power and immigration enforcement in the news, that the Elitist Media have developed a sudden interest in the plight of migrant children. This stands in stark contrast to the realities of the four years preceding.
Column: In Real Life, There's No New 'CBS Newsmax' Under Bari Weiss
The leftists on social media have hilariously caricatured CBS News under new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss as “CBS Newsmax,” like it’s lurched dramatically to the right. But if you’re monitoring CBS in real life, there’s plenty of evidence that “classic CBS” is still operating. In recent days, CBS has proven to be worse than ABC and NBC in its tilt to the left.
OMISSION: ABC News Fails to Mention Arrests of MN Church Invaders
The broadcast network newscasts, having devoted the bare minimum amount of time to the Minneapolis church incursion that resulted in massive civil rights violations, now devoted the bare minimum to the arrests of three of the protesters. And in the case of ABC World News Tonight, the story was completely neglected.
‘Death Spiral’ of ‘Bile,’ ‘Jingoism’; Journos Dump on Dokoupil, Weiss
This week, there was another cascade of sophomoric hit pieces against CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil for publicly expressing the need for CBS to regain the trust of more Americans. Hilariously, the smears ignored the newscast and wider network’s record of recent bias, including 96 percent negative coverage of ICE in Minneapolis. Four separate hit…
Detainer Dodge: CBS’s Sganga Continues to Stoke Anti-ICE Rage
The new and improved CBS Evening News burst upon the scene with a fundamental promise of getting the story right. While this new iteration is a significant improvement over prior news product, there remain opportunities for improvement. Case in point, the most recent reporting out of Minneapolis.
STUDY: TV News Hammers ICE Border Control With 93% Negative Coverage
Since the January 7 fatal shooting of left-wing agitator Renee Good by an ICE officer, Minneapolis has been gripped by riots, lawlessness, and escalating tensions between activists and federal law enforcement. Meanwhile, left-wing broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have spent more than two hours of airtime blaming the chaos on immigration officials.
Network Newscasts Downplay Minneapolis Church Incursion
On Sunday, former CNN anchor Don Lemon joined an anti-ICE protest group that stormed a Minneapolis church, disrupting the service and in the process violating worshippers’ right to freely exercise their religion as protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. You would think that the Elitist Media, self-styled custodians and keepers of the First Amendment flame,…
ABC, CBS Omit Shovel-Wielding Assailant In ICE Traffic Stop Shooting
Both Friday editions of ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News highlighted a Minnesota family that got caught in the chaos that ensued on Wednesday after an ICE officer shot a Venezuelan illegal immigrant in the leg after he fled a traffic stop. However, both shows omitted the detail that the man fled only to eventually join in with two other men—one of whom had a snow…
DERANGED: Acosta Floats Choking CBS’s Dokoupil, Welch Says ICE Is ISIS
On Thursday’s episode of the podcast I’ve Had It, co-host and miserable, affluent, white, female liberal (AWFL) Jennifer Welch teamed up with deranged former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta for 79 minutes of dangerous, unhinged lunacy lamenting the state of America that included joking about wanting someone to “choke the living s*** out of” CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil,…
Nets Mildly Protesting FBI Raid of WashPost Reporter’s Home, For Now
Earlier today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson pursuant to a warrant related to a classified documents case. Coverage on the broadcast network evening news was muted, at best.
