Bias by Omission

The death of Paul Kessler, killed for holding a pro-Israel sign on a Los Angeles street corner, has been the subject of sparse, weirdly omissive media coverage, of which we’ve taken note here at the MRC. The announcement of an arrest in the matter is no exception, as it drew sparse coverage on one major network newscast and none at all on the others.

Disney-owned ABC put their profits ahead of America on Thursday after they refused to report that TikTok, the social media app controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was promoting the writings of terrorist Osama Bin Laden. They ignored the story in order to promote their new amusement park in China themed after the movie Frozen. And not only did they ignore TikTok promoting…

San Francisco, an iconic American city known for its beauty and charm (but more recently known for having streets wracked with crime, lined with homeless and paved with human excrement) gets a long-overdue cleanup ahead of an important APEC summit wherein President Joe Biden shall meet Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. But the cleanup, inasmuch as it makes the wrong people look bad, garnered no…

If an honest journalist managed to book an interview with a Western doctor intimately familiar with the operations of the al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, one would think their top question would be to confirm the existence of Hamas’s underground headquarters said to be beneath the largest hospital in Gaza. Of course, that didn’t happen during the second hour of CNN This Morning on Monday,…

On Thursday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to mention the latest attack on supporters of Israel as a brawl broke out late Wednesday in Los Angeles outside a screening of raw, graphic footage from Hamas’s animalistic October 7 terror attacks, hosted in part by Israeli actress Gal Gadot.

On Tuesday, the National Security Council’s John Kirby went before fellow liberals who normally work as stenographers for power (i.e. Kirby and his friends), but during the Israel-Hamas war, Kirby has fended off questions ranging from the insane to the wrong to downright anti-Israel. This time, he was accused by a reporter for a Saudi-funded outlet of being a puppet for Israel and pressed by…

On Monday night, word trickled out that 69-year-old Phil Kessler died Sunday from injuries suffered after his skull struck the sidewalk following what the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles alleged was an attack by a pro-Hamas protester who allegedly smacked him to the ground with a bullhorn. Kessler’s alleged offense? Standing at a corner with an Israeli flag. When it came to network…

Corporate media worked overtime tonight in order to generate enough chaff to cover for the suppression of not one, but two major stories. Earlier today, news broke of the leak of three pages from the Nashville school shooter’s manifesto (AKA the Nashville Trannifesto), which was covered by ZERO networks. Additionally, there is the ongoing suppression of the Biden-Burisma scandal, which is now…

On Monday, Nashville authorities, Democratic politicians, and local media types were thrown into a tailspin by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder after he released three pages of the manifesto written by the transgender shooter that targeted elementary students at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee earlier this year. Despite the authenticity of the writings being confirmed by…

The shock of October 7 and the war launched against Jewish civilians by Palestinian terror group Hamas has worn off all too quickly among a press corps primed to see Israel as a malign force. The pivot to deceitful Israel-blaming arrived this week at the Orlando Sentinel, one of Florida’s top newspapers. Two columns full of repellent lies appeared Sunday, one by Irfan Kovankaya, “…

Today's release of an AI-assisted Beatles song was the most prominent of a number of news stories designed to chew up newscast time and space, as the network evening newscasts continue to avoid reporting on the Biden bribery scandal. Here are some of the others.

American corporate media continue to hide the explosive details of the corruption within the Biden family from the public's view. Today's example of corruption suppression: the networks' refusal to cover revelations that Joe Biden received monies that came directly from a CCP-affiliated partner of Hunter Biden, subsequent to a well-documented shakedown.

The New York Times, which penned an “Editor’s Note” on Monday after botching its initial coverage of the blast at a Gaza hospital by taking the word of Hamas, did some more pro-Palestinian whitewashing in a story in Tuesday’s print edition. NYC-based reporter Andy Newman ridiculously termed a violent pro-Palestinian march in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bay Ridge as "largely peaceful…

Late Wednesday afternoon, it was announced that far-left Congresswoman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) will be facing a single criminal charge for his September 30 pulling of a fire alarm at a House office building the briefly delayed the House’s passing of a continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown. Given how the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC barely covered the initial incident, it’s not…
