Night two of the Republican National Convention was about "safety," talking about crime and immigration. So at the top of their show on taxpayer-funded PBS, anchor Amna Nawaz announced Republican rhetoric can "veer into outright racism" and echo white supremacy. Our tax dollars are abused.
Within minutes of their beginning, co-anchor Amna Nawaz warned: "We have seen though, we should note, Republican rhetoric veer into outright racism, echoing some white supremacist notions as well. Do you think that will be avoided here tonight?” David Brooks mocked his old Weekly Standard colleague Tucker Carlson sitting next to Trump.
Nawaz didn't feel the need to offer any specifics on what rhetoric is outright racist, and she apparently doesn't think any Republicans are watching PBS and feeling offended. Apparently, using the term "illegals" is racist.
Our latest studies at NewsBusters underline the dimensions of media bias. Geoffrey Dickens demonstrated how rapes and murders by illegal aliens -- including a 12-year-old girl -- are buried by the networks. Rich Noyes did a deep dive into the numbers and found more than 1,600 minutes of ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news on Trump's "legal woes" since the start of 2023, and yet his poll ratings have actually risen.
Then there was Joe Biden yelling at Lester Holt about how the media never cover Trump's lies. Does that sound like someone in his command of his faculties?
