Legacy Newscasts Barely Cover Violent, Pro-Hamas Protests at Columbia
The late spring breeze brings with it warmer temperatures and with it, now that Donald Trump is back in office, the promise of a return to Riot Season. Kicking us off, a violent pro-Hamas protest at Columbia University that the Legacy Media barely covered.

OMISSION: NBC Only Network to Report on ‘Devils of 42nd Street’ Attack
The legacy media appear to be stuck in this doom loop where they deliberately omit covering certain stories after embarrassing themselves fawning over the latest immigration poster boy du jour whether it’s “Maryland Dad” or pro-Hamas Columbia activist Mohsen Mahdawi. The latest omission proves all the more embarrassing for the legacies.

WHISTLEBLOWERS ARE COOL AGAIN: NBC News Fawns Over Miles Taylor
With the Second Trump Administration in full swing, dissent appears to make a comeback. Whistleblowing is once again back in fashion and whistleblowers are sainted public servants again, as opposed to pariahs during the Biden years. This much is clear from watching legal correspondent Laura Jarrett’s interview with former DHS Chief of Staff Miles Taylor, of “Anonymous” fame.

NBC Sides With Communist China Shopping Apps, Bemoans Tariffs
Monday’s NBC Nightly News leapt into bed with the Chinese Communist Party in its trade war versus President Trump, openly griping about the price increases at Chinese-owned shopping apps Temu and Shein that have spent years dumping wildly cheap clothes and goods into the U.S. economy. Senior business correspondent Christine Romans even went to an actual communist China app — TikTok —…

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.

ABC Ignores Illegals Being Suspected of Stealing Kristi Noem’s Purse
Late Saturday, the New York Post revealed the suspect who allegedly stole Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse on Easter Sunday was an illegal alien. Like much of President Trump’s successes on immigration, it was barely covered by the liberal broadcast networks with ABC ignoring it completely and CBS and NBC mentioning it just once through Tuesday morning on their…

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: Nets Tout 100-Day Doompolls After Pounding Trump
What does 92% negative coverage of President Donald Trump’s second term get you if you’re the legacy media? After the first 100 days, a basis from which to elicit doompolls that peddle narratives of disarray and chaos, while instilling fear in viewers.

ABC News Insists on Pushing Debunked ‘Deported Citizen Babies’ Hoax
As we indicated when covering Alex Thompson’s speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it wasn’t just the media’s willful concealment of President Joe Biden’s severe cognitive decline that undermined trust in the media, but the sum total of hoaxes spread, encouraged, and abetted. Based on the latest faux immigration scandal, it appears that ABC News is adamant on refusing to learn…

Networks Get Weak Knees Over Dem Senator Cory Booker’s Fake Filibuster
Between Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were head over heels for Senator Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) 25-hour-long, “marathon” act of chicanery “speaking in a protest” against Trump and “shin[ning] a spotlight on” his “rapid fire and controversial actions” through “the little bit of power and influence” they have in Washington. At one point, one anchor…

Networks Spend 10x More Time on Student Arrest Than Gang Capture
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.

NBC’s Social Security Fearmongering Pushes Grandma Off a Cliff
Tonight’s NBC Nightly News reporting on the Senate hearing to confirm business executive Frank Bisignano as head of the Social Security Administration had a familiar sound to it. If you listen closely enough, you’ll hear the kind of fearmongering that was a staple of a bygone era.

Friday Networks Tout NYT on Musk/China Despite Team Trump Denials
On Friday night, ABC, CBS, and NBC celebrated a story from Thursday by their friends at The New York Times alleging the Department of Defense was set to grant Elon Musk a top-secret briefing on hypothetical war plans against China as part of his Friday meeting at the Pentagon, but was changed due to The Times raising concerns about his business work with Tesla in China. Of…

NBC: Trump Demanding Columbia Fix Anti-Semitism Might Be 'Extortion'
Columbia University accepted the Trump Administration’s list of demands meant to clean up its anti-Semitism problem on Friday, but NBC correspondent Antonia Hylton warned on Nightly News that Trump’s eminently reasonable demands could be viewed as “extortion.”

USEFUL IDIOCY: NBC News Covers for Hamas-Linked Georgetown Academic
The media continue to fall over themselves in order to protect the reputations of suspected jihadists on our college campuses, as they face deportation pursuant to current immigration law. And once again, they continue to raise the free speech straw man as they attempt to create sympathies for these detainees.
