PBS Fears ‘Constitutional Crisis,’ Casts Trump as Chair-Hurling Knight
Before journalist Jeffrey Goldberg’s revelation that he’d been privy to a national security text thread discussing war plans by the Trump White House, the Atlantic’s editor in chief hosted another busy episode of public television’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, where Washington Post columnist David Ignatius and Atlantic writer Michael Scherer helped…

MSNBC Lets Swalwell Rant on Security Breach, Ignores His Own Scandal
If any more proof was needed of how un-self-aware MSNBC really was, Charles Coleman Jr. rose to the occasion while filling in for Monday night’s The 11th Hour. To discuss a reported national security breach of the Trump administration, Coleman ostensibly interviewed Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA.), but in fact just let Swalwell mouth off at will, while completely ignoring the fact…

ABC, CBS, NBC Ignore Crockett Calling for Violence Against Ted Cruz
In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s Dallas-Fort Worth-area affiliate KXAS and went viral on X Monday, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) talked repeatedly about wanting to beat up and repeatedly “punch” Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz. Leaving aside her sudden code switching in the last year, the incendiary rhetoric is the sort of thing ABC, CBS, and NBC would look to call out if…

Network Coverage of Tesla Terror Attacks Is Mixed, at Best
You can tell which news stories best advance the left’s narrative, by the similarities in how they are covered among the networks. There is a sameness and fluidity to the stories, which often touch the same points. On inconvenient, counternarrative stories you often get disjointed coverage- mixed at best and often reluctant. Case in point, coverage of the rash of violent attacks against Tesla…

ABC, CBS OMIT Deportation of Hezbollah-Sympathetic Doctor
The networks spent the better part of last week advocating on behalf of Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia student agitator being processed for denaturalization and deportation due to his activities in material support of Hamas. However, when it came to a Rhode Island doctor who left the country to attend a Hezbollah funeral, ABC and CBS decided to bite their tongues, completely omitting the story…

NBC: Visa Overstayer Arrest a 'Pro-Palestinian Protests' 'Crackdown'
The three broadcast networks of ABC, NBC, and CBS took different approaches to the news that more Columbia University students have been arrested, but none of them were good. NBC portrayed visa enforcement as a “crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests,” while CBS ignored the reason for the arrest, and ABC ignored her previous protest-related arrest and, like the others, that this is not the…

PBS Falsely Says There's No Evidence Arrested Student Is Pro-Hamas
As Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil faces deportation for his part in pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic protests, PBS News Hour would have its viewers believe that he is just a victim of a presidential administration that doesn’t like having its opinions challenged. On Monday’s episode, William Brangham falsely claimed there’s no proof to support the allegations against him.

PBS Plays Dumb on Why Power-Mad Trump Is Punishing Columbia University
Bias by omission on the PBS weekly news roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic, as the panel of journalists played dumb about why Trump would cancel federal grant money from Columbia University, describing it as a typical Trumpian power grab. Never mind months of anti-Semitic campouts last year and the harassment of Jewish students and the chanting of homicidal slogans in the…

OMISSION: A Melania-Sized Gap in NBC’s “Protect the Children” Report
NBC’s reporting on protecting children from harmful content was undermined by an enormous omission: Melania Trump’s visit to Capitol Hill to advocate for children exposed to online exploitation.

‘Legacy Media’ Avoid Another Massive Mexico Story, Hiding a Trump Win
There is a lot of significant activity occurring south of the border, with massive implications for the United States. And yet, so-called “legacy media” can’t bring themselves to cover it.

Editor’s Pick: Networks Skip Tax Dollars Going to Stacey Abrams Group
Along with our friends at Breitbart, The Blaze, Daily Wire, and the New York Post, the Washington Free Beacon and Thomas Catenacci revealed Friday thanks to a disclosure from Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found “$2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial…

‘Legacy Media’ Avoids Sinaloa Cartel Boss Demanding Return to Mexico
The “legacy media”, weary from conjuring up constitutional crises out of the legitimate wielding of presidential power and downplaying the horrific murder of the Bibas Family, have so far ignored an explosive story with enormous policy implications. The head of the Sinaloa Cartel, currently in U.S. custody, is pressuring the Mexican government into demanding his repatriation, which the…

Musk-Deranged Media Have No Time for CIA Drone Flights Over Mexico
The Trump, Musk, and DOGE-deranged media, consumed with their efforts to undermine government accountability and reform as voted upon by the American people, have completely omitted from viewer consideration a critically important development across our southern border: the CIA’s no-longer-secret drone flights over Mexican cartel laboratories.
