ABC poured themselves a big glass of strawberry whine during Wednesday’s World News Tonight as they clutched their pearls over video of ICE agents chasing illegal immigrants through a strawberry field in southern California. Treating it as though they were watching a real life scenario of The Most Dangerous Game, anchor David Muir and chief national correspondent Matt Gutman…

MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera grew up in the 80s, and the media landscape has changed a lot since then, but on her Thursday show, she implied her family’s inability to pay for cable as a child means Congress should not approve President Trump’s rescission package that seeks to defund PBS and NPR.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D-CA) was featured for an interview on Wednesday’s episode of MSNBC’s Morning Joe to report on an update about the city’s stability and regulation regarding the protests and riots over the ICE arrests. This disaster to the city had brought national attention which led to the stationing of the National Guard, but Bass deflected the thoughts of the defense stating…

Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger joined ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel to promote season two of Netflix’s FUBAR, but the duo could not resist talking about the LA riots. Both men insisted everything has been blown way out of proportion, but Schwarzenegger also claimed the violence has been the result of politicians not passing “comprehensive immigration reform,” which he…

Wednesday afternoon’s White House press briefing was a fun one as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t having it with liberal journalists at Agence France-Presse (AFP), The New York Times, NOTUS, and Reuters trying to trap the Trump administration with questions about President Trump’s ironclad commitment to restoring law and order in Los Angeles following riots last weekend.

Wednesday morning, The Situation Room aired CNN political analyst and Bloomberg opinion writer, Ron Brownstein, in order to talk about the ongoing situation in Los Angeles, California. Brownstein tried his best to create clear division between parties while downplaying the events of the riots and made President Trump the aggressor attempting to “subdue blue jurisdictions” by using the…

In dealing with the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles police chief described his force as “overwhelmed” by the protesters and rioters. The city, as is the case with many of America’s other large cities, suffers from inadequate manpower. The size of the LAPD is the smallest in 20 years. The George Floyd protest/riots-inspired “cops-are-out-to-get blacks” narrative is not just…

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting. Co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett noted that “700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops began arriving” on…

NBC’s Seth Meyers continued his lamentations on President Trump’s response to the Los Angeles riots on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night. As Meyers tells it, Congressional Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are “collaborating” with Trump to “turn America into a military-style autocracy” and would’ve ratted out the original Tea Party to the British in 1773.

If the media were truly objective on violent protests against police, they would discourage January 6 rioters and leftist rioters. They shouldn't be shaming Trump at the same time they downplay violence against police in Los Angeles as a nothingburger. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck has watched all the riot coverage on the morning and evening newscasts. 

MSNBC’s Ari Melber went to impressive lengths Tuesday night to try and downplay the riots that have plagued Los Angeles for the past few days. On his show, The Beat, he tried to make the impact these riots had seem as minimal as possible. “Let's tell you here in the news what we know,” Melber started, providing a weak summary of the facts:

One of the week’s most inaccurate and biased statements was “there is no vicious and violent mob in Los Angeles.” This claim did not come from some fringe angry online social media user, but was pushed by MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday night’s broadcast of The Last Word. Clearly, this take was not only just extremely out of touch with reality, but a bald-faced lie. 

Even though CBS’s lead newscasts were far and away the most out of control Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in siding with the illegal immigrant mobs in Los Angeles and attacking President Trump for a simple desire to restore law and order, their compatriots at ABC and NBC had plenty of their own hot takes. ABC ludicrously declared the “protesters” have been “self-policing, keeping others…

NPR CEO Katherine Maher recently traveled to London for the city’s SXSW festival because, apparently, she thinks London is the place to be when she needs to convince American lawmakers not to rescind her federal funding. While in London, Maher sat down for an interview with CNN International’s Max Foster that aired on his Monday installment of What We Know, where she insisted that NPR…
