Did Google just use leftist Wikipedia to cover for news outlets that are due for a reckoning?

MRC researchers asked Google Search on Thursday whether NPR and PBS hid the Hunter Biden laptop story. At the top of the two searches, Google’s artificial intelligence weighed in with an emphatic no, citing none other than…

Paula Kerger, chief executive of the taxpayer-subsidized Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), recently told the New York Times, “In terms of the news, we work really hard to try to bring multiple viewpoints forward.” But as the second Trump administration begins and PBS comes under unprecedented existential pressure from the administration for its liberally biased evening news product,…

Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS still have yet to utter a single word about the radical left-wing politics of the man who allegedly gunned down two Israeli embassy employees on Wednesday evening in Washington D.C. In the first 24 hours after the attack, across both their live-streaming and flagship morning and evening news programs, all of these networks, as well as MSNBC, stubbornly…

Google Search is spotlighting leftist organizations in a query asking whether gender transition surgery is an emergency medical service. 

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening and morning news programs, as well as PBS’s News Hour from May 13 through the morning of May 19 and found they spent a grand total of 7 minutes and 16 seconds on the reporting from Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson. 

A Media Research Center analysis of the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts shows the new Trump administration has faced a withering 92% negative coverage, even worse than the relentlessly hostile coverage Trump faced in early 2017.

From April 1 through the morning of April 22 ABC, CBS, NBC jammed their evening and morning shows with a total of 143 minutes, 24 seconds of coverage to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 

Broadcast networks (ABC,CBS,NBC) didn’t care about the trial of Rachel Morin’s killer. 

ABC News made a big deal of their extensive, months-long search for someone to fill their “conservative” seat, so one would think presenting a diversity of opinion on The View would be a priority. But a new NewsBusters study showed that it’s more than just a name. “The View” also represented the fact that only one view, the liberal view was permitted; they were exposed by the…

If you got all of your news from CNN and MSNBC, you’d have a higher than 50/50 chance of believing the Trump administration had accidentally arrested and deported a naturalized American citizen living in Maryland, and for no particular reason.

Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini, displays bias when addressing whether NPR and PBS are biased or should be defunded. Gemini's responses frequently referenced NPR, PBS, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting themselves, neglecting alternative viewpoints like those of the Media Research Center, which has produced countless reports on the bias at NPR and PBS  over the last 30+ years.

OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman once warned that artificial intelligence “may cause significant harm to the world.” His chatbot is already harming babies, mothers and pro-life volunteer organizations by directing them to the baby-killing organization Planned…

From March 26 through March 27 ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC devoted a total of 119 minutes, 18 seconds to the arrest of Turkish student Rumeysa Ozturk, but just 11 minutes, 42 seconds to the capture of a top MS-13 leader. 

President Joe Biden and his administration spent four years continuously attacking the First Amendment and the free speech rights enshrined by the nation’s Founders.
