ABC Ignores Ethics Committee Finding Dem. Congresswoman Guilty
The Friday evening newscasts of ABC’s World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Evening News continued their streak of ignoring Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick’s ethics probe as the House Ethics Committee found her guilty of 25 ethics charges. However, the Saturday editions of NBC’s Today and CBS Saturday Morning did manage to ever so briefly acknowledge the scandal’s existence…
NBC Omits, ABC Barely Covers DISTURBING Turn in Bomb at Key U.S. Base
On Thursday, law enforcement and the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida announced charges against a brother and sister in the placement of a bomb at MacDill Air Force base, a key U.S. base amid the war in Iran as it’s home to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and U.S. Special Operations Command. This national security bombshell was of no interest to NBC (and barely at all to ABC) on…
Deranged: Darcy Seems Committed to Seeing CBS’s Dokoupil, Weiss Fail
Status founder and former CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy took to his newsletter site Tuesday night for a psychotic tut-tutting over the supposed grave of CBS News under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil, claiming Weiss’s “catastrophic,” “turbulent” tenure’s “five-alarm fire” has “destroyed” the “trust” “smart” viewers have in the brand in favor of…
ABC/CBS/NBC Mostly Ignore Trump’s Popular SAVE America Act
MRC analysts reviewed the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news shows from February 11 (when the SAVE America Act passed the House) to the morning of March 26 and found the broadcast networks have mostly hidden any discussion of the bill, spending a tiny 247 seconds (or 4 minutes, 7 seconds) on it.
Networks Barely Cover Latest Alleged Murder by an Illegal Immigrant
Early Thursday, 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman was murdered by a gunman on a Lake Michigan pier while walking with friends. More disturbing details arose Saturday night when Fox’s Matt Finn revealed the suspect was 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who reportedly arrived here during the Biden border crisis. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it took days for the…
NBC Ignores New Photos Showing Destruction Inside Michigan Synagogue
On Thursday, Temple Israel released searing, never-before-seen images of the destruction inside their West Bloomfield, Michigan complex from the March 12 attack by a radical Islamist purportedly looking to harm Jews after an Israeli airstrike had taken out some of his family in Lebanon (as two were members of Hezbollah). But this visual cost of anti-Semitism was nowhere to be seen on the…
ABC, NBC Tout ‘Contentious Hearing’ for Mullin, Who Has ‘Anger Issues’
On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, ABC and NBC used their flagship newscasts to paint Homeland Security Secretary nominee — current Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) — as a hot bed of controversy who faced a “heated” and “tense” hearing over his “anger issues” and Republican opposition from Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). The networks even admitted they were making a mountain out of a mole hill…
Lead ABC, CBS Shows Duck Deadly Shootout With Crockett Bodyguard
It’s been a whole week since a member of Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s (TX) security detail was shot and killed by Dallas Police during a chase and subsequent standoff after police flagged his vehicle for having stolen plates. Police would come to find out a whole lot more about the man (including his multiple aliases), but ABC and CBS have seen no reason to cover it on their…
Nets Downplay Islamists With IEDs in NYC, Blame Radio Host, J6er
Between Saturday night and Monday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning and evening newscasts to put “far-right,” “insurrectionist” Jake Lang on equal footing for blame alongside two ISIS-inspired Islamic terrorists for the latter allegedly chucking improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at a crowd Lang had assembled outside New York City’s Gracie Mansion to protest the city’s…
‘Cross-Partisan’; ABC/CBS Tout Talarico Using ‘Unity’ to Win Moderates
On Wednesday, ABC and CBS were nauseatingly in awe on their flagship newscasts of far-left Texas State Representative James Talarico — who believes, among other things, God was non-binary and that Mary would support abortion — as possessing “cross-partisan appeal” in a campaign “emphasizing unity” to pull in “moderates” to deliver Texas the first statewide Democrat win since 1994.
‘Grievances’; ABC/NBC Huff Trump Hit Iran ‘Without Evidence’ of Threat
On Monday morning, ABC and NBC both expressed fury at President Trump launching war against Iran — the world’s largest state-sponsor of terrorism — “without evidence” of a serious threat to the homeland and instead relying on “old grievances” against the Islamist regime from decades of Iran-backed deadly attacks on American soldiers.
NBC Lets Iranian Foreign Minister's Fake News Go Unchallenged
After the United States and Israel began combat operations against Iran, NBC’s Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett welcomed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Saturday’s edition of Today to get his perspective. The worst part of the interview was when Jarrett opened up the floor for Araghchi to give his “message to the president," which consisted of an airing of grievances that were not…
ABC Cues Up Women Hockey’s Player to Bash Trump, CBS/NBC Hype Callgate
On Thursday morning, the “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to throw more chum in the shark-infested waters they’ve helped manufacture against the U.S. men’s hockey team for associating with President Trump this past week. This time, ABC cued up women’s hockey team captain Hilary Knight to attack Trump while the others kept the storyline alive the men’s team has a lot to atone…
NBC’s ‘Today’ Show Offers Surprisingly Balanced SOTU Wrap-Up
As we’ve documented recently at NewsBusters, CBS’s flagship newscasts have shown little wholesale changes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that we both initially saw and as had been reported. Instead, it’s been more of the same liberal drivel. But ironically, there have been a few moments at NBC where it’s come across as this was the network she actually leads and such was the case on…
