On Tuesday, the Treasury Department reported that the U.S. national debt soared to a catastrophic $31 trillion, which is the highest it's been in our nation's 246-year history. Yet, after President Biden and the Democrat-controlled Congress spent taxpayer dollars like drunken Marxists over the last two years on unneeded COVID stimulus, and his "Build Back Better" boondoggle, it shouldn't be surprising.
Since this new disastrous milestone happened under Democrat President Joe Biden, the nightly broadcast networks ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News all ignored the debt report.
Instead of covering the skyrocketing debt and deficit under Biden, the three networks decided that Tom Brady and his wife hiring divorce lawyers and a local ordinance in San Francisco that would allow police access to private security cameras were more important stories.
Meanwhile, the only real evening newscast in the country: Fox News's Special Report covered Biden's ticking debt bomb early in the broadcast.

After going to White House correspondent Peter Doocy to give his report from the North Lawn of the White House on the latest episode of press secretary Karine Jean Pierre's, refusal to accept responsibility for high gas prices, Baier came back and gave his report.
First, Baier led with some good news for a change: "the Wall Street rally that began yesterday continued today. The Dow surged 825. The S&P 500 dropped 112 and a half. The NASDAQ soared 361. That was the good news."
"Here is the bad news," Baier prefaced. "The U.S. national debt is now more than 31 trillion dollars, with a T. The highest it's ever been."
He noted that "the new record was revealed in a Treasury Department report," and that "it comes amid runaway inflation, two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, and surging interest rates."
The leftist media constantly cried about debt and deficits under former President Donald Trump, yet conveniently ignore the ballooning debt under Democrat President Joe Biden.
It's clear that they will go to any length to cover for Biden.
This latest example of bias by omission was made possible by WeatherTech on ABC, Geico on CBS, and Liberty Mutual on NBC. Their information is linked so you can let them know about the biased news they fund.
