Networks Decry ICE’s ‘Alarming,’ ‘Disturbing’ Raids on Marijuana Farms
Between Thursday night on ABC and Friday morning on CBS and NBC, the major broadcast networks used their flagship newscasts to side with the illegal immigrants — some of them underage — being rounded up Thursday afternoon by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officials outside Los Angeles, decrying the “alarming” and “disturbing” scenes. But what kind of farms, you ask? Well, marijuana…
ABC Shows Footage of ICE Arrest, Omits Clip Showing Attack on Agents
On Tuesday, ABC World News Tonight defended the arrest of an illegal immigrant who attacked ICE agents with a weed whacker while running through the streets of southern California. Despite a video showing the illegal alien chasing agents with the weed whacker and attempting to break into a car at a stop light, they criticized the use of what they dubbed a “violent Border Patrol…
GPS REDUX? Legacy Newscasts Tout Leaked DIA Bombing Damage Assessment
The leaked and Natasha Bertrand-laundered Defense Intelligence Agency assessment of the aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow, quickly made it to the top of the legacy media evening news. Its promise of a minor setback for Iran’s nuclear program, as opposed to total destruction, was uniformly parroted, touted and…
OF COURSE: ABC Links Lander's Performative Arrest to Padilla’s Stunt
Covering politicians getting themselves performatively arrested these days is not unlike watching an outbreak: first one patient, then another, until the whole town is infected. And as is the case with their outbreak coverage, the media are excessively hyping these performative arrests.
GASLIGHT: ABC’s Muir Oversells Driver Incident at ‘No Kings’ Protest
In an effort to create the illusion of wanton violence against left-wing protesters, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir melodramatically oversold a driver incident in Los Angeles. Viewers are gaslit into believing that the driver plowed “through the crowd” despite watching video proving that no such thing happened.
Strawberry Whine: ABC Panics Over ICE Chasing Illegals Through a Field
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…
ABC Praises Rioters for ‘Self-Policing’ as NBC Admits Harm to Stores
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…
Networks Blame Trump for ‘Chaos’ Targeting ‘Unauthorized Immigrants’
On Monday, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC took to their flagship evening newscasts to provide further air cover for the pro-illegal immigrant rioters in Los Angeles, bemoaning the raids on “unauthorized immigrants” last week as having created another chapter in the “contentious and polarizing debate over immigration policy.”
ABC The Only Legacy Newscast to (Barely) Report on Chinese Bioweapon
The legacy media largely omitted a major national security story with immigration implications: the thwarted smuggling of a “potential agroterrorism weapon” by Chinese nationals. The implications are staggering, and the omission is inexcusable.
ABC News Calls Harvard President ‘The Face of the Resistance’
In what appears to be a return to 2017 form, the media have reverted to desperately searching for Resistance figureheads in opposition to President Donald Trump that they may elevate and then desperately cling to. Case in point, ABC’s recent coverage of Harvard University.
CBS, NBC OMIT Texas Teen Killed by Illegal in Jet Ski Hit-and-Run
The death of Texas teen Ava Moore, who was set to attend the Air Force Academy, was but the latest in a long trail of death and destruction at the hands of criminal illegal aliens allowed to enter into the country unabated. And in an awful but predictable omission, most of the major newscasts neglected to report this story.
LEGACY STENOGRAPHY: Media Uncritically Report Biden’s 2014 PSA Test
It appears that the legacy media have learned nothing from the release of the Hur tapes, and the release of Tapper/Thompson’s “Original Sin”. Faced with former President Biden’s devastating cancer diagnosis, and with the choice between investigative journalism or stenography, the media continue to choose the latter.
ABC News Just Can’t Quit Ye Olde ‘Joe Biden, Devout Catholic'
The most Biden-sycophantic network newscast was unable to help itself on the day of the election of the first American pope. During a roundup of presidential reactions to Pope Leo XIV, correspondent Rachel Scott went to a tired but true hook: “Joe Biden, devout Catholic.”
Nets Ditch ‘Maryland Dad’, Crown Mahdawi as New Immigration Poster Boy
With damning new evidence piling up in the case of deported MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego García and the media trapped defending his gang tattoos, there is a clear need for a new exemplar to promote against the perceived excesses of Trump immigration policy. Tonight, a new consensus poster boy may have emerged in Mohsen Mahdawi.
