Bias by Omission

Sunday’s New York Times front-page investigation, “Remarks on Kirk’s Assassination Bring On Broad Wave of Firings,” by Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs and Bernard Mokam, was galling for anyone whose sense of history goes back five years. During the 2020-era George Floyd hysteria, the Times ran little news coverage of the many people (many not even conservatives) getting cancelled…

Since Wednesday’s deadly attack on a Dallas, Texas Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) facility by an anti-ICE loon, ABC, CBS, and NBC followed an identical pattern from their coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination by cowardly refusing to tie the incendiary rhetoric from their own side about the Trump administration and its supporters to crazies taking matters into their own hands. …

The legacy media have cast themselves as staunch defenders of the First Amendment as they circle the wagons for Regime comic Jimmy Kimmel. However, they are nowhere to be seen as Google admits to censorship of conservatives under pressure from the Biden White House.

In the immediate aftermath of the Charlie Kirk memorial, the Trump-deranged MSNBC showed that they couldn’t leave well enough alone. What began as a complimentary reaction turned into Trump-deranged brainworms for MSNBC consumption.

MSNBC pre-empted portions of their regularly-scheduled programming in order to carry the memorial for Charlie Kirk, held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. During one of these segments where they broke back in for “analysis”, the Reverend Al Sharpton suggested, without evidence, that the motive and “political leanings” of the killer are somewhat unknown.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert freaked out on Thursday’s edition of The Late Show at ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel and downplayed his comments that MAGA was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” but at least he played the clip. The same could not be said of Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and NBC’s…

Where is the massive liberal media coverage of exactly what’s going on with the sewer of hatred swamping the American Left? Scan the coverage of The New York Times or The Washington Post or left-wing TV networks and there is zero coverage of the not-so hidden threats coming from various quarters of the American Left.

The investigation into the senseless assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk continues apace. However, the legacy media continue to obfuscate critical details in order to avoid an uncomfortable truth that has been relevant to other recent shootings.

Weeks after it happened and days after other networks belatedly picked up the story, PBS News Hour on Tuesday arrived on the scene of the stabbing murder of Ukrainian refugee Irina Zarutska aboard a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Host Geoff Bennett painted the tragedy as a cynical Republican talking point, one "that claimed the life of a young Ukrainian refugee and has…

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.

Despite having only each covered it once Monday, ABC and CBS were back Tuesday to ignoring video released in the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, omitting it from their flagship morning shows, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings. This return to a bias by omission came after Monday’s CBS Mornings broke the…

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. 

Like ABC and NBC, CBS’s Friday evening and Saturday morning newscasts ignored the arrest of multiple juveniles in Washington, D.C. for the murder of congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym. Unlike ABC and NBC, CBS Saturday Morning’s omission bias was made worse by the fact that Justice Correspondent Scott MacFarlane chose to hype a magistrate judge’s rebuke of the Trump…
