OF COURSE: ABC Links Lander's Performative Arrest to Padilla’s Stunt

GASLIGHT: ABC’s Muir Oversells Driver Incident at ‘No Kings’ Protest

Legacy News Suddenly Uninterested in Judges Blocking Trump Deportation
Since when don’t judges blocking deportations go immediately to the top of A-block on legacy network newscasts?
