Twelve years ago, the national media became a mouthpiece for left-wing union protests, as reporters smeared Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker as akin to abusive dictators in the Middle East, while turning a blind eye to the nastiness of the left-wing union protesters who besieged the capitol building.

The Big Three networks ignored news that the Biden administration denied disaster assistance to Ohio’s pro-Trump Columbiana County following the toxic train derailment in East Palestine.

On Tuesday, NewsBusters released a study on the broadcast network coverage of the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment that showed, since officials lifted an evacuation order on the evening of February 8 through the morning of February 14, ABC had ignored it on their flagship morning and evening newscasts while CBS and NBC had spent only one minute and 42 seconds on what’s become an…

2024 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley gave her first network interview to NBC’s Today co-host Craig Melvin for Thursday’s show and Melvin predictably made Donald Trump the focus, constantly pressing her on why she’d run against him, his role in January 6, his outlook on the 2020 election, his penchant for insults, and his views on foreign policy.

NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers has a theory on Wednesday as to why the train carrying toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, derailed: Donald Trump. This theory was basically a retelling of the talking points being spouted off by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

A study by NewsBusters found that after an original burst of coverage, ABC, CBS and NBC stopped covering the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals near Youngstown, Ohio around February 8, once the EPA and railroad officials said it was safe. In the last 24 hours, the networks have returned the story.

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.
