For decades, but particularly since the first Trump administration, the SPLC has enjoyed a perverse symbiotic relationship with the left-wing press. Their absurd “hate group” designations provided the media with ammunition against their right-wing targets, and the media in turn held up the SPLC as the gold standard of analysis and objectivity.

The following is a look at four new horrific crimes committed by illegal immigrants that the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) have buried, three of which have yet to earn one second of network attention:

Given the new sexual misconduct allegations against disgraced congressman and former gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell of California, we felt it was worth looking back at how often the Democrat was gifted cable news appearances by the liberal cable "news" outlets. According to a MRC study, between January 1 and April 10, Swalwell made 50 appearances on CNN and MS NOW.

Trump Derangement Syndrome was on full display as members of the elitist media reacted to America’s actions in Iran with preposterous claims, like former NBCer Chuck Todd, who questioned who was more dangerous with nukes, radical Iran or President Donald Trump? Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan insulted American sailors, claiming they were worse than Nazis. Former MSNBC/ESPN host Keith Olbermann…

As ABC News’ The View headed into their Spring Break this week, they kicked off the important midterm election year (2026) with a parade of liberal guests espousing their view points. A Media Research Center study documenting which political views The View allowed to be expressed on the show discovered that 27 guests delivered liberal view points versus only 1 conservative.…

On April 2, the New York Times published a surprising exposé about ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s fundraising machine: “ActBlue May Have Misled Congress on Vetting Foreign Donations, Its Lawyers Warned.” But while the Times’s willingness to break this embarrassing story about the DNC raised more than a few eyebrows, the ensuing total lack of coverage on left-wing…

From blaming President Donald Trump’s own “inflammatory rhetoric” for his second assasination attempt, to running interference on GOP criticism of former President Joe Biden, the following is just a sample of incoming MS NOW anchor Peter Alexander’s worst leftist outbursts (via the MRC archives):

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 study found that, since the start of the Homeland Security shutdown on February 14, only eight percent – or 125 seconds – of the 26 minutes and 22 seconds on the shutdown across the flagship evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC have brought up the fact that the long lines at airports and TSA agents working without pay are because of the left’s obstructionism demanding…

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

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.

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 6 and found the broadcast networks have completely BURIED the bill. 

On early Sunday morning in Austin, Texas, a gunman fired into crowds of pedestrians from his moving vehicle, wounding 14 people and ultimately killing three. 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…
