Bias by the Minute

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening, morning and magazine news programs, from June 18 (the day of the hearing) through the morning of June 23, and found there was NO coverage of the “autopen” hearings.  

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening and morning news programs, as well as PBS’s News Hour from May 13 through the morning of May 19 and found they spent a grand total of 7 minutes and 16 seconds on the reporting from Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson. 

From April 1 through the morning of April 22 ABC, CBS, NBC jammed their evening and morning shows with a total of 143 minutes, 24 seconds of coverage to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 

This past week, the Trump administration revealed more incriminating evidence about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien recently deported to El Salvador despite a withholding of removal to that country. Yet liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have mostly ignored the latest developments, and instead have continued to obfuscate the truth about this so-called “Maryland man.”

Broadcast networks (ABC,CBS,NBC) didn’t care about the trial of Rachel Morin’s killer. 

Over the past two weeks, broadcast networks were utterly consumed by news of the Trump administration’s tariffs, to the degree that the topic took up more than a third of their flagship morning and evening newscasts’ total run time. Yet during that same time period, these networks spared barely any time at all to cover some of the positive economic news, such as the declining Consumer Price…

Last week, ABC, CBS, and NBC spent nearly 100 minutes covering leaked messages from a private Signal chat for Trump administration officials, in just the first 96 hours after the messages were published. But those same networks spent only 13 minutes covering the actual military operation that was discussed in those leaked messages.

From March 26 through March 27 ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC devoted a total of 119 minutes, 18 seconds to the arrest of Turkish student Rumeysa Ozturk, but just 11 minutes, 42 seconds to the capture of a top MS-13 leader. 

In 32 days of coverage (February 8 - March 12) ABC, CBS, NBC (on their evening and morning news shows) spent a total of (4 minutes, 43 seconds) citing specific dollar amounts that DOGE or President Donald Trump claimed to have saved the American taxpayer. 

In 16 days of coverage (February 8 - February 24) ABC, CBS, NBC (on their evening and morning shows) spent a total of 1 minute, 53 seconds citing specific dollar amounts that DOGE or President Donald Trump claimed to have saved the American taxpayer. 

A charitable analysis of ABC, NBC, and CBS’s Friday evening and Saturday morning broadcasts would find that the six shows combined to give the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., a measly 48 seconds of coverage.

While polling demonstrates a majority of Americans approve of President-elect Trump’s handling of the transition process, the coverage by broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC has been almost uniformly negative. In addition to a whopping 96 percent negative tilt across their flagship evening newscasts, these networks also appear to have paid the most attention to cabinet nominees who appeared…

If you relied on CNN or MSNBC evening shows for your news, you likely would have no idea that the illegal alien who murdered Laken Riley was just tried and convicted. CNN’s prime time programming (between 8:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. ET) featured just a single, two-minute segment on the trial, while MSNBC’s evening shows skipped the story entirely.

From Harris dodging questions about her craziest policies, to being accused of plagiarism, the following are five brand new Kamala Harris controversies the so-called “Tiffany network” has yet to touch on their evening (CBS Evening News) or morning (CBS Mornings; CBS’s Face the Nation) shows.
