Bias by Omission

Through four days and three installments each of the flagship morning and evening news shows on the major broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC have eagerly doled out astounding 162 minutes and 16 seconds through Friday morning salivating over the third criminal indictment of former President Trump that has the potential to either land him in prison or propel him to the White House in 2024.…

On Wednesday afternoon, NewsBusters brought you the tally of broadcast network coverage of the third Trump indictment as having stood at roughly 70 minutes (70:41) on the flagship morning and evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC. Unsurprisingly, the coverage ballooned ahead of Trump’s arraignment Thursday afternoon on charges relating to his conduct on and prior to January 6. The total this…

On Tuesday, The New York Times reported that the corrupt New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez is once again under investigation by the Department of Justice for violation of Congressional ethics rules. This is the second time in less than a decade that Menendez has been investigated for corruption and ethics violations. Despite this troubling pattern, the leftist networks seem…

The July border crossing numbers were out on Tuesday and they showed a massive surge in arrests along the U.S.-Mexico border. But according to the misinformation from ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday, that surge didn’t exist and crossings were actually down. They also threw in some sob stories about so-called “asylum seekers” on the streets of New York City (a sanctuary city),…

On Tuesday, the credit rating agency Fitch Ratings downgraded the United States' credit score for the first time since 2011 due to the mounting debt and federal government disfunction that has occurred during the first two years of the Biden administration. Of the "big three" evening news broadcasts, only NBC Nightly News bothered to cover the credit downgrade. 

On Monday, Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer testified behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee regarding the Biden family’s corrupt business dealings including a bombshell revelation that Hunter put his father Joe Biden on the phone with his business associates over twenty times. This at the very least proves President Biden’s repeated claims that he was unaware of…

NBC News has parlayed being the first of the broadcast networks to report on President Joe Biden finally acknowledging his 4-year-old granddaughter into lionizing him Monday morning for taking that long and withstanding the criticism. Meanwhile, ABC and CBS didn’t want to stick their necks out that far as they spent barely over a minute (64 seconds) of combined time on the story over the…

President Joe Biden, who the liberal media told us was a man of decency fighting for the soul of America, finally admitted that he had seven and not six grandkids after he had to be (figuratively) dragged kicking and screaming to acknowledge his 4-year-old granddaughter Navy Joan Roberts, who his son Hunter Biden fathered out of wedlock. When it came to the broadcast networks covering this…

On Friday morning, NBC’s Today was the lone flagship broadcast network news show to keep alive coverage of Hunter Biden, his life of corruption, and the shocking collapse of his shady plea deal with his father’s Justice Department (after ABC’s World News Tonight was the only PM show from Thursday to do so). And not only did NBC rehash that, but correspondent Ryan Nobles even…

Thursday morning, after Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had an unfortunate incident where he was unable to speak for a few moments at a press event, CNN News Central featured a segment where they fretted about McConnell’s age despite him being as old as President Biden. They discussed this incident as it could have been related to several of McConnell’s past signs of aging, such as…

It didn’t take long for CBS & NBC to move on from the collapse of President Joe Biden’s criminal son Hunter’s plea deal. In fact, just 24 hours after all three networks led their respective evening newscasts with the news, only ABC’s World News Tonight stuck with the story and kept their viewers in the loop about the new revelations. Including what was actually in the plea…

Between Monday and Tuesday, four new Biden family scandals emerged, ranging from Hunter Biden’s artwork to business dealings inside Delaware to conflicts of interest in his tax probe to a former ally finally agreeing to spill the beans to a House committee about the Biden family’s ties to Burisma. If course, none of these scandals made it on the flagship morning and evening newscasts of ABC,…

The Biden administration faced yet another defeat in the courts Tuesday when a federal judge blocked a major piece of Biden’s immigration policy. After two-plus years of his refusal to secure the U.S./Mexico border, Biden’s bandaid has been yanked off by a U.S. District Court judge. To their credit, ABC’s World News Tonight, and CBS Evening News both covered the latest court…

There is “the owner of natural gas company Burisma Holdings” bluntly telling an FBI informant that while Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden and son Hunter were paid $5 million - each - in a $10 million bribery scheme. That is one decided blockbuster of a news story. And The New York Times, The Washington Post and the networks skipped it.
