CBS Evening News

With the markets rebounding and egg prices cratering, the networks were deprived an opportunity to foist their recession porn upon their viewers. They had no trouble settling on a new consensus top story, though, given their hysterical coverage of the Trump administration’s decision over the weekend to deport suspected Tren de Aragua and other gangbangers to a Salvadoran supermax.

The three broadcast networks of ABC, NBC, and CBS took different approaches to the news that more Columbia University students have been arrested, but none of them were good. NBC portrayed visa enforcement as a “crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests,” while CBS ignored the reason for the arrest, and ABC ignored her previous protest-related arrest and, like the others, that this is not the…

During the “By the Way” segment on Friday’s CBS Mornings Plus, CBS environmental correspondent David Schechter decried the Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Administrator Lee Zeldin by giving away the game on the climate alarmists by reupping a line that’s been deployed for at least five decades, which is we have “less than ten years” to save Earth from climate change…

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.

In 32 days of coverage (February 8 - March 12) ABC, CBS, NBC (on their evening and morning news shows) spent a total of (4 minutes, 43 seconds) citing specific dollar amounts that DOGE or President Donald Trump claimed to have saved the American taxpayer. 

Having seemingly run out of things killed by DOGE to report on, it appears that the CBS Evening News have expanded this favorite doom genre of news reporting. This new subgenre deals with the adverse reactions to tariffs across society, with tonight’s focus on…wedding dresses.

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…

On “The Interview” segment for Thursday’s CBS Evening News Plus (and, yes, this is now a thing), anchor John Dickerson brought in International Rescue Committee CEO and former U.K. politician David Miliband to keep alive the belief that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk and President Trump will “imperil millions” with people “starving” and lacking “…

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. 

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.
