World News Tonight

‘Tis the season to be thankful. If you’re President Joe Biden, you’re extra thankful for a press corps that insists on giving you cover by reporting on anything and everything EXCEPT the corrupt dealings between his family and Burisma, 166 days and counting since the scandal broke.

When covering the news, it is usually a steady stream of doom and gloom. But on occasion, there are stories that brighten one’s day, especially in today’s polarized news environment. One such story: ABC World News Tonight’s feature on National Adoption Month. 

Even though polls show Joe Biden's age is the top threat to the President's re-election next year, ABC, CBS and NBC all but ignored Biden's 81st birthday on Monday.

Six years ago, the networks had a chance to properly report on Senator Robert Menendez’s (D-NJ) alleged corruption during an earlier federal trial, and they blew it. NewsBusters documented how ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN buried the embarrassing (for Democrats) trial detailing how Menendez accepted extravagant gifts and travel, in exchange for federal favors.

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.

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…

The American news media have been catching a lot of flack for uncritically quoting Hamas as a source for much of their on-the-ground coverage in Gaza. In the month following the terror organization’s horrific October 7 attack on Israeli civilians, exactly two thirds of the evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC have cited either Hamas itself or Hamas-controlled entities when reporting on the…

If you’re on X (formerly known as Twitter) and follow the Israel-Hamas War, you’re likely aware of the man we’re about to speak of. Saleh Aljafarawi, dubbed “Mr. FAFO” and “Mr. Pallywood,” is a KNOWN Hamas-linked social media influencer and crisis actor.
