‘Provocative’; CBS Hack Slams Trump Tagging Drug Cartels as Terrorists
With January 6 cases having evaporated, CBS’s Scott MacFarlane has been looking for a new area to channel himself and being the Justice correspondent (i.e. Deep State liaison) has suited him well. But Thursday’s CBS Evening News showed MacFarlane dismissing the Trump administration’s labeling of drug cartels as terror groups, denouncing it as a “controversial,” “provocative,” and…
CBS’s John Dickerson Blames Trump, Elon, AMERICA for Ruining Spring
If you wanted more evidence of the descent of CBS News into utterly pretentious piffle, look no further than CBS Evening News Plus, which indulges the ego of its anchor, John Dickerson, by enabling a “Reporter’s Notebook” editorial at the close of each telecast. Dickerson’s latest oeuvre: a diatribe blaming President Donald Trump and Elon Musk for ruining spring for him.
CBS Depicts Busted Illegal Abortion Provider as Victim of Texas Law
During the past presidential election season, abortion stories were a hot ticket across the network evening news. The networks did everything in their power to try to make the issue a dispositive one, in the hopes of tilting the election to Vice President Kamala Harris. With the election now behind us, abortion stories are largely out of view. But the CBS Evening News changed that, at…
Network Coverage of Tesla Terror Attacks Is Mixed, at Best
You can tell which news stories best advance the left’s narrative, by the similarities in how they are covered among the networks. There is a sameness and fluidity to the stories, which often touch the same points. On inconvenient, counternarrative stories you often get disjointed coverage- mixed at best and often reluctant. Case in point, coverage of the rash of violent attacks against Tesla…
ABC, CBS OMIT Deportation of Hezbollah-Sympathetic Doctor
The networks spent the better part of last week advocating on behalf of Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia student agitator being processed for denaturalization and deportation due to his activities in material support of Hamas. However, when it came to a Rhode Island doctor who left the country to attend a Hezbollah funeral, ABC and CBS decided to bite their tongues, completely omitting the story…
UNHINGED: The Media Now Protest Trump Deportations to El Salvador
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.
NBC: Visa Overstayer Arrest a 'Pro-Palestinian Protests' 'Crackdown'
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…
CBS Journo Slams Trump EPA: We Have ‘Less Than 10 Years’ to Save Earth
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…
THAT’S (D)IFFERENT: Nets Suddenly Not So Gleeful About Lower Inflation
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.
ABC/CBS/NBC Spend Less Than Five Minutes (In 32 Days) on DOGE Savings
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.
CBS: Tariffs Are Forcing Brides to Rush to ‘Say Yes to the Dress’
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.
HAMAS MEDIA: Nets Come Out Strong for Terror-Adjacent Student Agitator
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…
Sigh: CBS Predicts Global Famine, Mass Death With DOGE Ending USAID
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 “…
Biden’s 2024 SOTU Drew 2X More Network Time Than Trump’s 2025 Speech
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…
