Bias by Omission

This week marks the 40^th anniversary of Philadelphia confronting the radical black group MOVE in an incendiary assault that killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed a residential block. PBS News Weekend on Saturday marked the anniversary with a dose of radical chic, omitting unflattering details about the bizarre urban enclave MOVE.

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. 

Of the three Saturday network morning shows, only NBC’s Today covered Axios releasing audio files of former President Joe Biden suffering a memory lapse during an interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

Late Thursday, former FBI Director and cringe, lefty D.C. Boomer James Comey posted and deleted seashells shaped into “8647” while walking on the beach that he claimed to have found interesting while not aware until later it translated to call for President Donald Trump’s assassination. But on the Friday morning network news shows, ABC’s Good Morning America was nowhere to be seen and…

Friday’s edition of the PBS News Hour contained a frustrating interview with the left’s deportation hero of the day, conducted by the paper’s most slanted reporter, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez. After she and co-anchor Geoff Bennett talking about the release of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, whose student visa was revoked apparently because she co-wrote an anti-Israel…

Here’s the latest in an occasional series on how Parents magazine, a popular and ostensibly harmless outlet providing child-caring tips, smuggles in ultra-left-wing views inside the diaper bags, views that are harmful to the very children Parents is supposed to be helping. The latest offensive entry, “Medical Experts Continue to Support Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth…

After Cardinal Robert Prevost became the first American ever to be elected Pope on Tuesday and took the name Leo XIV, MSNBC’s Katy Tur picked and chose what aspects of his beliefs to amplify and which ones to downplay or ignore. Naturally, for MSNBC, she highlighted his “rebuking” of conservatives and Republicans, but not of liberals and Democrats.

After proving themselves to be his greatest sycophants with their gush fest of an interview last September, former President Biden reciprocated by giving the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View his first post-presidency interview. Of course, as Democratic propagandists, they swaddled him in love and softball questions, largely teeing up questions about controversies in easy-to-knock-down…

Overnight, a group of far-left pro-Hamas terrorists staged a siege at the University of Washington as they illegally occupied a building, set stuff on fire, and battled the police. But during the morning newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC, they all downplayed the story as just a “protest” against the Israel-Hamas War. They collectively gave the violence less than a minute of airtime.

Late Thursday night, President Trump moved via executive order to defund far-left networks National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS on the TV side, ordering the Corporation for Public Broadcasting cease direct and indirect taxpayer funding in addition to government agencies ceasing federal grants. A move decades in the making, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings were…

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held yet another unusual morning press briefing, but this time, her guest was Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to provide barn-burning remarks on what the administration called President Trump’s first 100 days of “Restoring Common Sense.” Miller repeatedly took the liberal media — living in safe, wealthy confines — to task,…

After begging on the air for her to come on the show, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View welcomed far-left extremist “comedian” Amber Ruffin during Wednesday’s episode. Omitting the fact that she suggested President Trump and his supporters were “a bunch of murderers” and not human beings, The View cast defended Ruffin as just using her right to free speech and suggested…

Late Saturday, the New York Post revealed the suspect who allegedly stole Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse on Easter Sunday was an illegal alien. Like much of President Trump’s successes on immigration, it was barely covered by the liberal broadcast networks with ABC ignoring it completely and CBS and NBC mentioning it just once through Tuesday morning on their…

Over the weekend, Buffalo Police SVU Detective Richard Hy appeared on the popular Unsubscribe Podcast and blew the whistle on Buffalo Public Schools with accusations that officials had destroyed evidence of an attempted abduction at one school, obstructed investigations of child sexual assault, and looked the other way for child abuse until it was too late. But instead of pouring resources…
