Legacy Nightlies Rehash ‘Opponent’ Narrative for Bolton Indictment
The “Opponent of the President” narrative machine fired up once again, as news broke of the 18-count indictment handed down against former National Security Adviser John Bolton.

CBS Shows Skip Revelation Drug Cartels Have Bounties on ICE Officers
On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, CBS’s flagship morning and evening newscasts — CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News — refused to cover the horrifying revelation from the Department of Homeland Security that Mexican drug cartels have put bounties on the heads of federal law enforcement and Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officers with upwards of $50,000 for…

ABC’s Top Newscasts IGNORE Hamas Executing Opponents in Gaza [UPDATED]
On Monday and Tuesday, brutal footage emerged of Hamas terrorists carrying out public executions of those they claim were disloyal and “collaborators with Israel,” just hours after the ceasefire went into effect as part of President Trump’s historic regional peace deal.

Networks Ignore Scoop! Palisades Arsonist Was Anti-Trump Eco-Fanatic
The news that the horrific Palisades Fire in Los Angeles was probably caused by an arsonist completely retconned much of the media climate change dramaticism tied to the disaster.

LEGACY FIREFIGHTING: NBC Rehabs Schumer’s ‘Every Day Gets Better’

PBS Invites Leftist Oliver Darcy to Smear 'Dishonest' Bari Weiss
Paramount Skydance, the giant media conglomerate which owns CBS, recently acquired the iconoclastic news site The Free Press, and just announced that FP’s founder Bari Weiss will become editor-in-chief of CBS News, causing conniption fits in legacy media newsrooms.

POMPOUS: Dickerson Whines Over Trump Invoking the Insurrection Act
It is that time again, wherein CBS’s John Dickerson coughs up another pompous editorial from behind the anchor desk on CBS Evening News Plus.

OMISSION ROUNDUP: 3 Stories the Legacy Media Didn’t Want You to See
We at the Media Research Center have long argued that one of the most insidious forms of media bias is bias by omission: the exclusion of stories, or of key items within stories, that run counter to the ongoing media narrative. We cover those omissions as they happen, but they are usually limited to one high-profile story. But last night’s legacy evening news omitted THREE major items.

POMPOUS: CBS’s John Dickerson Whines About SECWAR ‘Come to Pete’ Event
Another day, another pompous and insanely over-the-top editorial to close out CBS Evening News Plus. This time, John Dickerson blesses us with his grandes pensées on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s convocation of his top generals, admirals, and senior enlisted advisers for what has been colloquially termed a “Come to Pete” meeting.

Networks Side With Liberals, Covert Activists in Shutdown Fight
Despite the only group standing in the way of averting a government shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Wednesday are Senate Democrats, ABC, CBS, and NBC have all taken their side in demanding a permanent extension of ObamaCare subsides that were meant to be temporary during the pandemic (along with a whole host of other goodies, including refunding PBS and NPR). Shutdowns have long been something…

'Shatter Norms And Carry On': CBS Mourns Response To Comey Indictment
CBS Evening News host Maurice DuBois and chief Washington analyst Robert Costa collectively mourned on Friday that there does not appear to be any internal White House dissent over the decision to indict former FBI Director James Comey. For Costa in particular, the mood could be described as “shatter norms and carry on.”

See No Evil: Networks Won’t Link ICE Attack to Far Left Rhetoric
Since Wednesday’s deadly attack on a Dallas, Texas Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) facility by an anti-ICE loon, ABC, CBS, and NBC followed an identical pattern from their coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination by cowardly refusing to tie the incendiary rhetoric from their own side about the Trump administration and its supporters to crazies taking matters into their own hands. …

BLACKOUT: Evening Nets Spike 3rd Q2 GDP Revision Showing Hotter Growth
There’s no other way to say it: A new report shows the Trump economy has continued to defy expectations, but you wouldn’t know any of this watching the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts.
