Bias by Omission

On Monday's CNN NewsNight, host Abby Phillip asked panelists about recent comments from former President Obama, where he called on Democrats to stop "whining" when it comes to winning back the presidency. Substack writer Brad Polumbo called out political commentators Ana Navarro and Maria Cardona for fearmongering, playing the race card, and lying when they responded to…

On Friday night, NewsNation's On Balance host Leland Vittert gave Ohio Rep. Greg Landsman (D) an ultimatum on immigration and customs enforcement: would he get rid of sanctuary cities if it meant stopping ICE raids on places like Home Depot? Unsurprisingly, Landsman couldn’t accurately depict what a sanctuary city was, incredibly he couldn't even say they exist.

The mainstream media has leaned into hailing Imam Ayman Soliman as a persecuted “interfaith leader,” in an attempt to garner sympathy while glossing over key facts. On MSNBC’s The Weekend: Primetime, hosts bemoaned the “unjust” detention of someone they referred to as a community leader who “came to the U.S. From Egypt in 2014 seeking asylum” and “has dedicated his life to interfaith…

Leftist extremists were trying to kill agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the liberal media and liberal politicians were pretending like it wasn’t happening. That was one the points NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo made on his eponymous show Friday night, when he directly called out Democratic Party leaders by name and demanded the media to do more to condemn the attempts to harm ICE…

On Sunday, former President Biden’s handlers made the inexplicable decision to throw him out in public — nevermind that it was to the friendly New York Times — to address allegations of pervasive autopen usage during his presidency. Of course, Biden made it worse by admitting he, in The Times’s summation, “did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons.” And, in a…

Friday’s Amanpour & Co. show on PBS celebrated Mahmoud Khalil, who led an extreme anti-Israel (and pro-Hamas) protest group at Columbia University. Amanpour asserted he was detained as part of “Trump's crackdown on free speech, immigration, and elite universities.” There is no First Amendment right to support violence and terrorist groups.

On Thursday morning, CNN’s The Situation Room walked back the network’s original narrative that the Trump administration was at fault in the preparation and response to the deadly Texas floods. CNN senior crime and justice correspondent Shimon Prokupecz pointed out that the burden fell on local government response and not on the federal government’s spending cuts as CNN originally…

The anniversary of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump is upon us and with it, news of the actions taken by the Secret Service after reviewing the many breakdowns that led to the current President of the United States almost getting gunned down in Butler, Pennsylvania. This is without a doubt a story of enormous national import, and yet, NBC News has not seen fit to cover it…

On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s The Briefing With Jen Psaki cited FEMA cuts as a main factor for the response to the Texas floods. Psaki still used this narrative despite multiple reports coming out that emergency management and response had been on par with or exceeded expectations.  

On Tuesday, the Associated Press published an article detailing the “abrupt end” to USAID support to people in Liberia not being able to gain access to contraceptives. The AP used cherry-picked and one-sided narratives to paint the Trump administration as monsters. The article started with a woman named Roseline Phay, a 32-year-old farmer who has two daughters and was “determined not to have…

The Independence Day edition of the PBS News Hour, guest-anchored by John Yang, featured two liberal Supreme Court experts sympathetically discussing Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee whose votes have trended leftward of late, pleasing liberals and disappointing conservatives. The panelists discussed conservative death threats against Barrett without mentioning the left-…

ABC was surprisingly the only major broadcast network to break in Thursday afternoon for a special report on the House passage of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which he’s slated to sign into law Friday. What was unsurprising, however, was the ABC presented a wholly negative perspective declaring the bill was to “mostly” benefit “the wealthiest Americans” while stating as though it’s a…

On June 25, a 33-year-old Marxist Muslim named Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City. Over the following week, broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS ran nearly an hour of coverage about the self-described democratic socialist, but spent less than two minutes on his numerous radical positions and scandals.

On Tuesday night, MSNBC host Jen Psaki interviewed leftist Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) on The Briefing to denounce the Big Beautiful Bill. Psaki praised Frost as “passionate” and “important” for his ability to delay the bills passing immediately following his five-minute-long, fact oblivious, fearmongering segment.
