🚨 ABC, CBS & NBC: Total Blackout
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) just got hit with 25 ethics violations by the House Ethics Committee.
She’s accused of stealing $5 million in FEMA disaster relief funds — money meant for hurricane & COVID victims — then laundering it through her campaign and spending on personal luxuries like a diamond ring.
She faces up to 53 years in prison.
George Santos got wall-to-wall coverage for weeks.
This Democrat? Zero seconds on ABC, CBS, or NBC evening news.
NewsBusters confirmed the total media blackout.
The media isn’t biased.
They’re complicit.

And it’ll continue. And people (my parents) who only watch the MSM will continue to believe what they are selling.
President Trump could find the cure for cancer, and the Drive-By Media would report the “damage” done to cancer clinics worldwide.
The MSM is there to manipulate, not inform.
Have to give the MSM credit for one thing.
They protect their own as much as possible.
I don’t know about on-air news for those stations but it certainly is covered at their online sites. The following did have news on the charges and findings.
ABC Nov 2025 and 3 days ago
CBS 3 days ago
MSN current
AP News 3 days ago
NYT 4 days ago
PBS 4 days ago
NBC 3 days ago
The above does not include local affiliates.
Communists lie by commission and omission.
I credit them as the LSM (Lame Stream Media)...
Forgetting the Media coverage, is she going to be expelled?
Co-Pilot sez:
NBC News
NBC News reported extensively on the case and highlighted that the House Ethics Committee held a nearly seven-hour televised hearing before announcing the guilty findings.
Their coverage included broadcast segments and online reporting.
ABC News
ABC News also ran national coverage, including televised reporting on the Ethics Committee’s findings and the related federal indictment.
Their segment emphasized the potential consequences, such as censure or expulsion.
Was the trial itself televised?
Yes. The House Ethics Committee’s adjudicatory hearing — which is extremely rare — was televised, and this fact was explicitly noted in NBC’s reporting.
Our Founders must be rolling over in their graves, they put in the 1st Amendment to protect citizens from the government in the first place, they didn’t realize that someday the press and the government would become ‘one’ so to speak.
BLACKout? 🤔😊👍
Can’t FCC licenses be pulled?
Things are getting ridiculous already!
News gets manufactured, not reported!
Their web pages is how the hard left wing progressive media covers their tracks.
Transcripts of the ABC Nightly News/NBC Nightly News are not published online.
Microsoft is left wing.
Copilot is left wing.
Of course it would say that nonsense.
The audience for the legacy media is mostly confined to liberals and leftists. Conservative eyes and ears have long ago turned away from these sources. Older conservatives watch Fox and listen to AM talk radio. Younger ones watch and listen to podcasts and read blogs. Unfortunately, too many people both here and elsewhere think we are in 1996, not 2026.

Do you really think they aren’t going to memory hole anything bad for one of their own?
The lame stream media just walks in a circle mouthing .
“Why are our ratings so bad!?!?!?!?”
The bloods in the water. The lamestream media and press who have builtthem selves up as the arbiters of truth have because of there own lapses in morals and character have painted huge targets on their backs. Look at the 2019 Lincoln Memorial confrontation, the suits against the view
and many many others.
The Harris interview cost the lame stream media plenty and now they doit again!?!?!?!?!?
The BBC has lost their collective minds to think they would get away
with their lies.
I will say it again.
We need the FCC to enforce truth and accuracy in reporting, edit as you wish but that editing must be noted and the full text, full video must be available for review. With the internet and cloud storage this is no longer a undo burden and is needed now to stop the wholesale fabrication of news and events.
Corrections or miss statements MUST be given the same amount of play as the WRONG or INCORRECT statements or videos when broadcast the first time, be it 10 minutes, 20 minutes 30 minutes if the media source trumpeted it MUST be one to one.
If they the media did a 1 hour broadcast that was wrong, incorrect or lies then they must do a second broadcast of 1 hour at the same time slot explaining that they were wrong, incorrect or had lied.
A large banner should be run at the bottom of any video STATING that the SOURCE is unnamed, unverified, if an audio broadcast the statement should be made at the start, at the middle and at the end.
The news media pundits will gnash their collective teeth moaning and groaning and will say this will place a chilling restrain on the freedom of the press. It will not. It will stop them from running head long in to judgment that has elevated numinous numbers of fake stories, staged a hate crimes and out right character assignations accusations that have ruined many innocent lives. They will be forced to fact check diligently because they will be held monetarily and criminally libel for miss-reporting the facts.
Truth in reporting will offer up a shield to the small groups, to individuals, people who have had their lives, liberty’s, property, impacted by incorrect reporting without due process of law. Words and actions have consequences.
If any of this is not done then the FCC should fine and or remove and or suspend broadcast licenses. Keep pushing wrong, incorrect or lies in news stories and have your broadcast rights removed.
“Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) just got hit with 25 ethics violations by the House Ethics Committee.” A fine public servant.
and the one time it was mentioned in the commie media they NEVER said what political party she belongs to. Just like with Ed Buck who drugged and murdered young black men, the media here NEVER mentions that he is a Democrat who gave MILLIONS to other Dems, like Adam Schiff who went to his apt 15 times, same with Ted Lieu, never had to answer any questions regarding their involvement with him
