Covert Liberal Activists

ABC World News Tonight continues to champion the cause of radical campus protesters at Columbia University and elsewhere. Tonight’s report on detained green card holder Mahmoud Khalil was the continuance of an ongoing exercise in gaslighting and propaganda. 

There are many noticeable differences between the first and second Trump administrations, but some things remain constant throughout. Then and now, the major network newscasts are reluctant to report any good economic news to emerge from the Trump administration, in this case: the Consumer Price Index coming in lower than expected.

The network news continues their prolonged campaign against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its efforts to root out waste, fraud, abuse, and inefficiency in government operations. As recent history shows, reports focus on the human victim side of DOGE cuts. Comes now the NBC Nightly News, and their spotlight on FEMA.

The networks had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into coverage of the virulent antisemitic protests at major universities across the United States, beginning with those at Columbia University in New York. The protesters’ worst excesses were often left off of reporting, lest people get the idea that they were materially supportive both of Hamas and of the atrocities they committed on…

CBS Sunday Morning glowingly promoted a Broadway play about a controversial Cuban band, without once mentioning the word communism, and barely mentioning the Cuban Revolution. Its report promoting “Buena Vista Social Club” should be viewed as no less than softcore communist propaganda.

California Senator Adam Schiff was a darling of the Sunday show circuit when he had a Russia Hoax to peddle. When asked about an actual issue that is really happening, though, Schiff demurred and instead pivoted to talking points.

The most reliable indicator of the positive impact of President Donald Trump’s 2025 address before a Joint Session of Congress is the paucity of subsequent coverage it drew- 5 minutes and 7 seconds across all three network newscasts, versus a staggering 11 minutes and 26 seconds for then-President Joe Biden’s final State of the Union address. Stated plainly, Joe Biden’s final State of the…

The daily DOGE drumbeat continues apace, and the strategy behind the “legacy” media’s reporting is now plainly apparent. They want to drive a wedge between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Using the Trump administration’s announcement of tariffs against China as a hook, the CBS Evening News ran one of the weirder items in recent memory. After watching this story on the National People’s Congress, reasonable individuals are left to wonder whether the network should eventually change its name to XiBS. 

The initial reaction to President Donald Trump’s Joint Address to Congress at MSNBC centered around outrage at the fact that Trump would dare to honor D.J. Daniel, the 13-year-old pediatric cancer patient who was deputized as a honorary Secret Service agent. Their bilious reaction to that heartwarming moment is the truest indicator of how the night really went for them.

NBC’s reporting on protecting children from harmful content was undermined by an enormous omission: Melania Trump’s visit to Capitol Hill to advocate for children exposed to online exploitation. 

Once again, the CBS Evening News has decided to shine a victim spotlight on fired federal workers. This time, the focus is cast on the plight of a fired USAID worker.

In today’s DOGE-deranged news environment, stories seeking to spotlighting the adversity endured by federal workers often draw top billing. A new CBS Evening News report goes to that well again, and manufactures a link between the DOGE buyouts and Musk’s purchase of Twitter, in an attempt to imply malfeasance.

There is a lot of significant activity occurring south of the border, with massive implications for the United States. And yet, so-called “legacy media” can’t bring themselves to cover it.
