The legacy media appear to be stuck in this doom loop where they deliberately omit covering certain stories after embarrassing themselves fawning over the latest immigration poster boy du jour whether it’s “Maryland Dad” or pro-Hamas Columbia activist Mohsen Mahdawi. The latest omission proves all the more embarrassing for the legacies.
NBC Nightly News was the only legacy newscast to cover the latest attack against NYPD officers in Times Square, carried out by a splinter group of the infamous Tren de Aragua:

LESTER HOLT: The NYPD has arrested five men they say are members of a Tren de Aragua gang for an attack against their officers in Times Square on Friday. The officers engaged the group and were ambushed, pelted with scooters, basketballs and other makeshift weapons. The NYPD also called this a targeted attack by repeat offenders.
There is a lot missing from this teeny-tiny brief, as is often the case with teeny-tiny briefs, but it bears noting that both ABC World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News reported absolutely nothing on this attack.
The missing details, via Fox News:
Eleven teen members of the ultra-violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua were allegedly involved in an attack against two NYPD officers on Friday night in Times Square, police sources told Fox News.
Five of the suspects, all illegal aliens from Venezuela, have been arrested in connection with the alleged attack, which involved the migrant crew throwing glass bottles, basketballs and rocks at NYPD officers who were responding to a robbery.
The youngest suspect in the attack is 12 years old, and the police sources said that two of the children were picked up by their migrant parents, and one is being charged as an adult with riot and assault, according to police.
This isn’t some new phenomenon, either. The “little devils” have been a thing for some time now. Consider this New York Post report from last October:
The troublesome teen — identified by sources as a member of “Los Diablos de la 42,” a pint-size offshoot of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua — had been cuffed in the latest bust on Tuesday, just as The Post was revealing the baby-faced bandit’s shocking exploits.
He’s accused of pulling a knife on a 34-year-old man at Ninth Avenue and West 35th Street around 7 p.m. Sept. 30, along with a pal, according to the sources.
Keep the “Little Devils” in mind next time you hear legacy media caterwauling about due process in the context of deportations. Tonight we heard barely a peep.
