CBS Evening News

The legacy media are fighting the motive narrative battle with the intensity of the last Japanese soldier in the Philippine jungles after the end of World War II. CBS, in particular, is insisting on a lack of motive in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Along with celebrating older Americans pretending it’s the 1960s all over again by becoming hooked on marijuana and lamenting the Supreme Court gave President Trump the green light to continue mass deportation raids in cities like Los Angeles, Monday’s CBS Evening News provided yet another example of the liberal bias for new ownership to fix. The topic? A possible incoming shortage…

The horrendous murder of Ukrainian refugee Irina Zarutska aboard a Charlotte, North Carolina light rail has taken a significant turn for the worse, with the release of video showing Zarutzka’s heartbreaking final moments. But the legacy media appear to be already running away from an inconvenient story.

On Monday’s CBS Evening News, the show’s “Eye on America” segment celebrated the supposed surge in elderly Americans — increasingly consisting of the Baby Boomer generation — have become hooked on marijuana. Between, say, 2009 and 2016, CBS went through a period where it repeatedly celebrated pot and became infatuated with every nook and cranny of the drug infecting American society (…

In what has become a predictable and boring exercise, the legacy news media freak out over a Supreme Court action that puts a stop to activist obstruction of President Trump’s agenda. This time, on immigration, with the added bonus of a freakout over the president’s "Chipocalypse Now” meme.

And on the 17th day, the legacy media finally got around to reporting the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on board a Charlotte light rail. Rather than simply reporting the inconvenient story straight up, though, NBC saw fit to engage in a little Trumpwashing.

A common feature of legacy media coverage leading up to the 2024 presidential campaign was their collective reluctance and/or outright refusal to cover heinous crimes that reflected poorly on key Democrat policies. With the 2026 midterms over a year out, it appears that the media are reverting to form. 

As is often the case with legacy newscasts, an item reported with great fanfare becomes discarded once it is no longer useful to a narrative. Such is the case with details of what was seized during last week’s raid of John Bolton’s home.

Anyone depending on legacy network news for coverage of China’s military parade, honoring the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, might have thought they were watching Chinese state media. Among these, CBS was the most effusive in their ChiCom suck-uppery.

So much of what is reported on legacy network news these days isn’t so much news as it is anti-news- propaganda meant to disinform and/or make viewers afraid of something. Such is the case with CBS’s report on changes to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) that aired on tonight’s Evening News Plus. 

“Dan Rather Is Still Chasing the News” by the now-occasional New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg was a ridiculously whitewashed profile of the still-working “journalist” Rather, who resigned in disgrace from the anchor slot at CBS Evening News after relying on phony documents to smear then-2004 Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush’s service in the Texas…

Despite mass shootings being on the decline in 2025 (and the last couple of years), CBS Evening News Plus (on the network’s streaming service), dedicated an interview segment to pushing for the return of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. They highlighted a study from Northwestern University that claimed that if the ban was still in place, then it would see “a significant reduction…

The Trump economy just keeps defying all the media crystal ball predictions of economic catastrophe, but the evening networks revealed an impulse to ignore good news that benefits the president.

A full day after the horrific Minneapolis church shooting, the legacy newscasts were mostly trying to render the shooter into an afterthought. But, when forced to mention him in any meaningful way, they continued to adhere to liberal orthodoxy and refer to him by his preferred pronouns.
