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.

A Media Research Center review found Apple News+ overwhelmingly favors left-leaning outlets—51 vs. only 3 right-leaning—calling its claim of "over 500" sources into question and noting some paid articles are free elsewhere. Critics say the service lacks balance and true value for its $12.99 monthly fee.

In the first week of the Iran war, the late night comedians told 94 percent of their jokes about the American side. By the third week, that percentage jumped to 97 percent, according to a new Media Research Center study.

According to the MRC, Yahoo News is the most left-leaning of the Big Four News Apps, promoting articles from left-wing and radical outlets 87% of the time in February 2026, far more than its competitors.

Beginning in December 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers undertook “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, arresting illegal immigrants with criminal records, displeasing the pro-amnesty press and far-left activist mobs. Media ire flamed up January 7, 2026 after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Good in her car during an immigration enforcement operation, after…

The broadcast networks (ABC,CBS,NBC) and the Big Four news apps are mostly ignoring President Donald Trump’s popular voter ID proposal. 

EXCLUSIVE: As Apple News faces relentless criticism for systematically erasing right-leaning sources from its app, Microsoft’s MSN has quietly pulled a similar stunt.

The late night comedians reacted to the start of the Iran War with not only a week of disapproval but also a lopsided joke count. According to a new Media Research Center study, the hosts told 94 percent of their war-related jokes about the United States and our allies.

After an MRC report went viral exposing Apple News for zero right-leaning top stories in January, Apple News modestly increased right-leaning outlets to just 2% in the second half of February, with 75% still from left-leaning sources. Critics say this minor shift after FTC scrutiny is “damage control,” not true balance, and claim Apple News still suppresses conservative views.

The shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, a muslim immigrant from Senegal, was wearing a hoodie that read, “Property of Allah.” Left-wing cable networks CNN and MS NOW have reported all of the above details at least once — all except the fact that…

On Wednesday, bombshell news broke that former President Joe Biden’s FBI had obtained phone records on current FBI Director Kash Patel and former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023 when they were private citizens. That led to the FBI firing 10 employees. So how much time did ABC, CBS, NBC devote to these developments in the lawfare case waged against President Donald Trump…
