Here’s a question that shouldn’t be hard for anyone: “[Was] the Pentagon a legitimate target?” But it wasn’t a simple one for then-ABC President David Westin exactly 20 years ago today. On October 23, 2001, at an event at Columbia University, Westin offered a sickening response to 9/11.

MRC analysts looked at all of the news coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows, as well as CNN and MSNBC’s coverage (6am through midnight ET) from October 11 (publication of The Daily Wire investigation) through October 20 and found zero seconds spent on the following stories: Parents upset at transgender bathroom polices that led to sexual assaults of female students in Loudoun…

The Joe Biden presidency is collapsing and the networks don’t want you to know about it. Two just-released polls have found the Democrat at record lows. But between the evening newscasts on Tuesday and the morning shows on Wednesday, offered zero coverage of the very bad news for Biden. 

A tragic murder of a British Member of Parliament underlines the types of horrific crimes that journalists care about and the ones that they either joke about or minimize. David Amess, a conservative MP was brutally stabbed to death on Friday by an apparent Islamic fundamentalist. And while the networks offered just under ten minutes of coverage from Friday night to Monday night, they focused…

The Biden administration endured yet another policy failure last week as the President conceded defeat and announced he will reinstate Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. The news came late Thursday night. But according to an analysis by the Media Research Center, the network evening and morning newscasts from Friday to Monday have hid the reversal. 

Four years ago this week, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were reeling from their connection to the monstrous Harvey Weinstein, the now-disgraced Hollywood mogul who has been convicted of sexual assault. But you wouldn’t know just how deeply entwined the Clintons and Obamas were to the sex offender because the press was suppressing it. 

The networks this spring were excited at the prospect of Joe Biden implementing a liberal packing of the Supreme Court. But now that the President’s commission on the Court has come back with a muddled, non-answer, ABC, CBS and NBC are silent over the embarrassment. 

MRC analysts looked at the broadcast evening news programs from October 14, 2020 to October 13, 2021 and found ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News spent a measly 18 minutes, 4 seconds on all of Hunter Biden’s scandals in a year’s time.

MRC analysts looked at 30 stories on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening programs covering the most recent budget debates from September 23 to October 10 and discovered a whopping disparity in the soundbite count with Democrats overwhelming Republicans by a 115 to 16 count. 

All three network newscasts on Monday and Tuesday ignored the move by radical Attorney General Merrick Garland to potentially investigate parents who speak out on issues like Critical Race Theory at school board meetings across the country.

It’s pretty safe to say that network media outlets would howl with outrage if far-left favorites like Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were harassed and intimidated in a bathroom. But when the same thing happened to moderate Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, the shocking incident resulted in a collective shrug. 

It’s not just Joe Biden senior moments that the media are suppressing. His gaffe-prone Vice President Kamala Harris is having her controversies buried as well. Last week, Kamala Harris appeared at George Mason University in Northern Virginia and nodded along as a student spewed hate about the “genocide” committed by Israel. 

This week, Today host Savannah Guthrie won an Emmy for an ambush town hall in which she relentlessly hit Donald Trump from the left. On Wednesday, Hoda Kotb gushed, “We have in our presence an Emmy and an Emmy award winner. That Emmy, that was awarded last night to NBC News and Savannah.” 

Even though the Democrats are in control of the White House and Congress, the media found a way to blame the GOP and conservatives for an upcoming fiscal “catastrophe,” future terrorist attacks and of course the continued spread of Covid. The following are just of the most outrageous attacks on conservatives and defenses of progressives by journalists and celebrities over the last month.…
