World News Tonight

ABC’s Trevor Ault went soft on those who showed up to support alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione on Friday’s edition of World News Tonight. Instead of reacting in horror that such an alleged cold-blooded killer has such support, Ault portrayed his upcoming trial as a “cultural flashpoint.”

After a few weeks of Shock and Awe, the Resistance vibe has fully returned to ABC Whirled News Tonight. A goofy item by Chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce demonstrates that the media have no playbook for Trump except the one they ran in 2017.

In the early days of the Second Trump Administration, it appeared that ABC World News Tonight had taken time to reflect and reconsider their ways, toning things down from their wild subservience to Joe Biden. Well, the time for reflection has ended. And based on the network’s hysterical coverage of all things DOGE and Elon Musk, it appears that they’re back to their old ways.

The early successes of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in exposing rampant waste, fraud and abuse throughout the federal government have left the left scrambling- including their allies in the media. The resulting derangement rendered ABC News a crisis spokesperson for the beleaguered Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

The media are united in their purpose of trying to save government workers from the DOGE ax. Across the dial, each evening newscast devoted significant time to creating in their respective audiences an empathy for government bloat.

The Resistance Media continue to seethe over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) march through the federal government, particularly through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID coverage trod old and familiar tropes, seeking to elicit sympathy for the dying agency.

The Department of Government Efficiency’s decapitation strike against USAID over the weekend has caught the media off guard. Nonetheless, they are mustering a desperate response in hopes of saving the agency that embodies both the Deep State and the worst excesses of bloated government bureaucracy.

If there was any doubt that the Regime Media have fully transitioned back into Resistance Mode, one need look no further than coverage of the Office of Management and Budget’s pullback of its funding freeze memo. Without evidence, ABC and CBS misrepresented the rescission of the memo as a full rescission of the decision to freeze funding for certain government programs.

As the reality of the Trump Administration’s will to enforce our borders sets in, the Resistance Media scramble to adjust. Coverage of the latest round of raids in New York City and elsewhere was mixed at best.

A charitable analysis of ABC, NBC, and CBS’s Friday evening and Saturday morning broadcasts would find that the six shows combined to give the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., a measly 48 seconds of coverage.

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news networks completely ignored new damning data that bookended Bidenomics as arguably the dumbest set of economic policies the U.S. experienced in its history 

The returning Resistance Media have begun to report on the Trump Administration very much the same way they reported on the previous Trump Administration: with glaring omissions in service of a narrative. In this case, half-reporting on the initial executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden’s denunciations of an emerging “oligarchy” and “tech-industrial complex” appear to be, beyond a ham-handed attempt at an Eisenhower moment of his own, a clarion call to the media in the waning days of his presidency. If network news is to serve as a guide, it appears that the media have heeded the call.

A carefully elaborated media smear campaign, combining the worst elements of the Bork and Kavanaugh confirmation processes, crashed and burned. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth appears to have bolstered his confirmation chances, and the media were not thrilled to report that.
