ABC, CBS OMIT Arrest of Suspect In Death Of Pro-Israel Protester
The death of Paul Kessler, killed for holding a pro-Israel sign on a Los Angeles street corner, has been the subject of sparse, weirdly omissive media coverage, of which we’ve taken note here at the MRC. The announcement of an arrest in the matter is no exception, as it drew sparse coverage on one major network newscast and none at all on the others.
NBC Omits Mention of Suspect Arrested In Hockey Slashing Death
In a bizarre throwaway report, the kind that is used as a timestuffer towards the end of a newscast, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt goes through the trouble of mentioning the arrest of a suspect in the gruesome death of an American hockey player, but has a most difficult time identifying the suspect.
CITATION NEEDED: Journalists Cite Hamas in 66% of Evening Newscasts
The American news media have been catching a lot of flack for uncritically quoting Hamas as a source for much of their on-the-ground coverage in Gaza. In the month following the terror organization’s horrific October 7 attack on Israeli civilians, exactly two thirds of the evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC have cited either Hamas itself or Hamas-controlled entities when reporting on the…
Lester Holt Smugly Editorializes on Gas Prices, Promptly Gets SCHOOLED
As history has shown, moderators have a very hard time suppressing the urge to insert themselves into a debate. During tonight’s GOP presidential primary debate, NBC’s Lester Holt did just that, when asking Sen. Tim Scott a question on the economy.
ABC/CBS/NBC Spend 59 Seconds on Weiss Testimony, 15 Minutes on Pandas
The only network (ABC,CBS,NBC) mention of the David Weiss testimony came in a 59-second brief aired on the November 7 edition of NBC Nightly News. None of the network morning shows (ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, NBC’s Today/NBC’s Today 3rd Hour) on Wednesday mentioned Weiss’ appearance before Congress. However, all three of the morning…
PANIC: NBC Rings The Alarm Over 2024 Michigan Arab-American Vote
NBC News has begun to focus its coverage on the truest, purest victim of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza subsequent to the barbaric terrorist attacks of October 7th. And of course, we’re talking about President Joe Biden.
NBC’S HOSTILE DEBATE HOSTS: The Worst of Holt and Welker
NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt and Meet the Press host Kristen Welker are set to moderate (along with talk show host Hugh Hewitt) the third Republican primary debate on November 8 and, as NewsBusters warned before the NBC moderators were chosen, GOP voters should expect hostile questions that push a left-wing agenda and are hostile to conservatives and their policy…
Nets Give Oxygen to Anti-Israel Lunatics at Code Pink Defending Hamas
Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC all made the cowardly decision to give oxygen to the far-left, perpetually crackbrained protesters at Code Pink disrupting a Senate hearing about aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.
Nets Decide to Care About ‘Alarming’ Anti-Semitism Now WH Is Involved
Following a smattering of mentions since Hamas’s barbaric terror attacks on October 7 and a few full segments, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC decided this week to finally care during their flagship morning and evening newscast about the “troubling” and “very alarming” anti-Semitism on college campuses (now that the Biden administration has stepped in). Of course, it came with helpings of…
ABC Censors Dem Dean Phillips Rising to Challenge Biden in Primary
On Friday, Minnesota Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips threw his hat into the presidential race to challenge President Biden in the Democratic Party primary. And despite their broadcast competitors finding some time for it on their morning and evening newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America and World News Tonight refused to give Phillips’ campaign any oxygen. Likely hoping…
Wednesday’s Hamas Stenography: Trusting Death Tallies Biden Doesn’t
If this is starting to feel like Groundhog Day, we don’t blame you. On Wednesday morning and evening, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship news shows to continue their nauseating roles as the world’s morality police by sympathizing with Hamas terrorists and their citizens being hit by daily barrages of Israel airstrikes after they murdered over 1,400 innocents in…
Nets FREAK Over ‘Hardline,’ ‘Hard-Right,’ ‘Staunch’ Speaker Johnson
House Republicans were finally able to elect a new House speaker on Wednesday afternoon, selecting Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) to fill a 22-day vacancy. Not surprisingly, Johnson was met with a torrent of disgust and scorn on the Wednesday night network newscasts with ABC, CBS, NBC blasting Johnson as a “hardline,” “hard-right,” “ultra-conservative” who’s “staunchly anti-abortion” and “…
Nets Peddle Dubious Hamas-Driven Death Toll, Sob Stories, Cheer U.N.
The weeks-long Hamas propaganda campaign on the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC dragged on Tuesday with a slew of misfires (pun intended) that included, along with two of the three failing to mention new U.S. findings about that October 17 hospital fire, the touting of dubious Gaza death tolls (despite admitting they emanate from Hamas), cheering the U.N. trashing Israel, and par-for-the-…
FLASHBACK: Media Hit GOP Over Anti-Hillary Benghazi ‘Witch Hunt’
Eight years ago, when ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced tough questions over the Benghazi disaster, helpful news reporters lavished praise on her performance while condemning the partisanship of Republicans who dared question the Democratic presidential frontrunner.
