NBC Bemoans Harry Reid's Decision to Change Senate Filibuster Rule
As was reported here on Wednesday afternoon, ABC, NBC, and CBS had nothing but gushing praise for former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. This was also true on Wednesday evening as the liberal networks drooled all over Reid and his legacy as the longtime leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate. However, NBC Nightly News did change their tune slightly from this morning.
HERESY: Nets Deny the Science Behind CDC Loosening Isolation Rules
For nearly two years, Dr. Fauci was the pope of the media’s new church of science and the CDC was the Vatican Council handing down the dogmas of the rites and rituals around masks, isolation, and vaccine anointments. But with the CDC loosening isolation recommendations in the face of new information about the Omicron variant’s life cycle, the media’s faith was shaken as they openly denied the…
'Kingmaker': Nets Remember Harry Reid as a 'Force of Nature'
Not a bad word or embarrassing moment was mentioned by the broadcast networks Wednesday morning as they reported on the life and death of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Nets Blackout Report Inflation on Food to Spike 5 Percent Early 2022
A new report out Tuesday from the market research firm IRI showed that food prices are expected to spike five percent during the first half of 2022. While the rapid inflation the United States is expected to experience is terrible news for consumers, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News apparently had no interest in covering the…
Cutting Room Floor: CBS Edits Out 911 Call Warning Cops of Gun
Seemingly taking a page out of NBC’s playbook Tuesday night, CBS Evening News edited out part of a 9-1-1 call warning LAPD officers responding to an attack at a Burlington clothing store that gunshots were heard. It’s was critical context missing from the event that resulted in the accidental death of a 14-year-old girl hiding in a dressing room with her mother while it was later…
ABC Fawns for Stacey Abrams' New Kid's Book, Pitch Race for Governor
In a nauseatingly gooey Tuesday interview with election conspiracy theorist and Democratic candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams, the co-hosts of ABC’s Good Morning America heaped praise on the previously failed gubernatorial candidate for announcing her second go at the position, her work as a “major voting rights advocate,” and her eponymous new children’s book Stacey's…
Nets Ignore Report Biden Admin Refused Offer to Secure COVID Tests
On Monday, the network evening news broadcasts ignored a report Vanity Fair published alleging the Biden Administration rejected a "10-page plan" from numerous public health institutions to help purchase and distribute Covid tests back in October.

CBS Ignores Pro-Mask LUNATIC Striking Old Man Eating on Delta Flight
Since the start of the pandemic, the liberal media have used airline confrontations over masking policies to portray those opposed to pandemic protocols in a negative light. But a Sunday scuffle between a pro-mask woman and an 80-year-old-man, who had pulled his mask down to eat, got no airtime on Monday’s edition of CBS Evening News.
ABC's 'This Week' Panel Attacks Manchin 'He Represents Plutocrats'
It’s now been a week since Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) went on Fox News Sunday and tanked President Biden’s Build Back Better bill, drawing audible sighs from the mostly liberal panel on ABC’s This Week. A week later and they still have not gotten over it. They spent the latter half of the so-called “Powerhouse Roundtable” railing against Manchin for not going along with their…
CBS/NBC Gawk at Lack of Covid Tests, Ignore Biden Grilled on Failures
Two days before Christmas, and CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News spent part of their Thursday newscasts gawking at the long lines in major cities as people scrambled to get tested for Covid before gathering with family for the holiday. But what they failed to share with viewers was ABC World News Tonight grilling President Biden the previous evening on his ‘…
ABC/NBC Ignore Carjacking of Congresswoman, CBS Gives Just 24 Seconds
On Tuesday evening Illinois Senator Kimberly Lightford was carjacked by three suspects wearing masks, according to a report by Fox 32 News. The next day, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon was also carjacked at gunpoint by two men at F.D.R. Park in Philadelphia. Apparently, none of the three evening broadcast shows thought these stories deserved to be covered in depth.
Nets Pile On Joe Manchin For Tanking Build Back Better

On Sunday evening and Monday morning, the network broadcasts of ABC, NBC, and CBS were in mourning over the “potentially fatal blow” dealt to President Biden’s radical left-wing agenda by West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who announced his opposition to proposed massive social spending legislation. Anchors and correspondents were distraught as they described how the White House was “reeling”…
