EXCLUSIVE: December is often marked by celebration. However, for right-leaning media, the month was defined by censorship at the hands of Google News.

Since the January 7 fatal shooting of left-wing agitator Renee Good by an ICE officer, Minneapolis has been gripped by riots, lawlessness, and escalating tensions between activists and federal law enforcement. Meanwhile, left-wing broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have spent more than two hours of airtime blaming the chaos on immigration officials.

A review of Apple News from Jan. 1–14, 2026, found none of its top 280 stories featured right-leaning outlets, continuing a pattern of left-wing bias and negative Trump coverage. Critics say this editorial approach sidelines conservatives and raises concerns as news aggregators like Apple News become primary news sources in the U.S.

In 2025, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and his summer guest hosts told a measly 87 liberal jokes over 156 episodes, or about one liberal joke every two episodes. This year, the trend has continued with Wednesday’s show being the seventh of the year, but the first in which Kimmel told his first two liberal jokes and even then they were in the context of lamenting that President Trump has defunded PBS.

A Media Research Center study found Apple News did not feature any right-leaning media outlets in its top 20 daily articles for December, highlighting a consistent bias favoring left and center sources.

Even though PolitiFact editor Katie Sanders claimed on PBS on New Year's Eve that they were gut-checking their biases, in fact they were much rougher on the Republicans in 2025 than they were on Democrats -- 85 percent of their GOP checks were "Mostly False" or worse, and only 35 percent of the rarer Democrat fact checks were "Mostly False" or worse.

As part of the elitist liberal media’s campaign to destroy President Trump’s second term by tying him to Jeffrey Epstein and his odious life of sex trafficking minors, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS and NBC have spent a gargantuan 1,033 minutes — or 17 hours and 13 minutes — since July 7 on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday talk shows seeking to establish an…

For the men of the late night comedy talk shows, the second half of 2025 was not good. In July, Stephen Colbert announced his show will be cancelled next year, and in September, Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for peddling conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s assassin’s political ideology. As a result, many guests would often gush over them and portray them as free speech martyrs, and when…

The world of liberal late night comedy got even more liberal in 2025 with the inauguration of a new Republican president. According to a new Media Research Center study, the late night hosts told 12,011 of their 13,097 political jokes about conservatives, which comes out to 92 percent, up from 82 percent last year.

December 19 was The View’s last new show of the year, so it was the perfect time to examine how the ABC News program (the number one rated day-time talk show) was presenting political discussions to their audience in 2025.
