World News Tonight

It is not often that legacy media national newscasts devote precious A-block time to what amounts to an ongoing renovation with zoning board issues. But in an endless Trump Resistance media loop, the construction of the new White House ballroom is a unique affront to the nation’s institutional integrity- and draws such coverage.

The shocking discovery of a tree stand outside the Palm Beach International Airport, with a clear line of sight to where President Donald Trump steps off Air Force One, was at or near the top of the ABC and NBC Sunday Night Newscasts. This was not the case at CBS, amid some questionable editorial choices.

The “Opponent of the President” narrative machine fired up once again, as news broke of the 18-count indictment handed down against former National Security Adviser John Bolton. The legacies lost their collective minds as they rehashed familiar tropes about weaponization and retribution, for purposes of trying to absolve Bolton in the court of public opinion.

On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, CBS’s flagship morning and evening newscasts — CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News — refused to cover the horrifying revelation from the Department of Homeland Security that Mexican drug cartels have put bounties on the heads of federal law enforcement and Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officers with upwards of $50,000 for…

On Monday and Tuesday, brutal footage emerged of Hamas terrorists carrying out public executions of those they claim were disloyal and “collaborators with Israel,” just hours after the ceasefire went into effect as part of President Trump’s historic regional peace deal. Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, ABC completely omitted this disturbing turn from their flagship evening and…

It appears that ABC World News Tonight is fighting hard to reclaim the mantle as America’s most nakedly partisan legacy evening newscast. Another wildly biased shutdown item from correspondent Rachel Scott does little to inform viewers but everything to inflame them.

The next election is over a year away, but ABC’s Rachel Scott is already in peak midterm form. A report on the ongoing shutdown is completely Democrat-coded, regurgitating Democrat talking points and placing the onus for ending the shutdown exclusively on Republicans.

The news that the horrific Palisades Fire in Los Angeles was probably caused by an arsonist completely retconned much of the media climate change dramaticism tied to the disaster. But the evening broadcast networks took it a step further and buried news that the accused arsonist is an eco-extremist.

Though it has received play on all three major broadcast networks, ABC chose on Thursday night and Friday morning to emphasize an anonymous C-SPAN call to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of a woman worried her children “could die” if Johnson fails to reopen the government and ensure federal employees are paid. Of course, ABC (and the caller) ignored how that falls to Senate Democrats and…

You know that a public statement from a Democrat elected official is bad when the media steps in and tries to firefight potential public backlash. Such is the case with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who gets five-alarm firefighting from NBC after saying that “every day gets worse for us.”

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. We cover those omissions as they happen, but they are usually limited to one high-profile story. But last night’s legacy evening news omitted THREE major items.

It happened again: an explosive report drops detailing the breadth, width and scope of the extent to which the government was weaponized against conservatives. And again, the legacy media are nowhere to be found.

ABC News has absolutely flipped their wig over what is commonly known as the “come to Pete” speech, delivered by the Secretary of War himself in front of the nation’s top military brass assembled at Marine Corps Base Quantico (VA). So much so that for a moment, correspondent Martha Raddatz seemed to forget Secretary Hegseth's actual job.

Despite the only group standing in the way of averting a government shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Wednesday are Senate Democrats, ABC, CBS, and NBC have all taken their side in demanding a permanent extension of ObamaCare subsides that were meant to be temporary during the pandemic (along with a whole host of other goodies, including refunding PBS and NPR). Shutdowns have long been something…
