From my AI discussion:
The networks have slipped into foreign‑policy camouflage mode, using Xi’s state visit and Iran’s UNGA appearances as a convenient curtain to hide the domestic stories they don’t want to touch. Everything is framed as diplomacy, stability, and “global leadership,” while the real world is shifting in ways they refuse to acknowledge. Ukraine has just inflicted its most significant damage on Russia’s war machine in weeks, Russia’s refinery output is dropping, drone warfare has tilted sharply, the border situation is deteriorating, oversight has vanished, and a Supreme Court ruling on voter‑roll verification dropped quietly with no discussion. Yet the networks treat all of this like background noise. Instead, they run the same tired playbook: book Republicans who attack Republicans and call it balance. Last week it was Bill Cassidy on CBS; this week it’s Thom Tillis on CNN — another retiring Republican who can safely criticize Trump without consequences. The pattern is unmistakable. The real stories are happening off‑camera.
The Iran oil blockade and Russia’s refinery crisis remain invisible on every network, even though Ukraine has struck multiple Russian refineries in the past ten days, degrading Russia’s ability to produce fuel and directly affecting China’s imports, Iran’s export routes, global shipping insurance, and the dark fleet. None of the shows mention it, even while interviewing Iran’s President and Foreign Minister. They’ll talk about “regional tensions,” but never the events causing them. Likewise, Ukraine’s drone surge and Russia’s manpower and economic strain — all new, all strategically significant — are being ignored. Ukraine is now producing long‑range strike drones, sea drones, FPV swarms, and loitering munitions at a scale Russia cannot match, while Russia faces rising casualties, overwhelmed hospitals, quiet mobilization, refinery‑driven fuel shortages, creeping inflation, and declining industrial output. These are the most important Ukraine–Russia developments in weeks, yet the networks pretend they don’t exist.
The border is also completely absent. Not one show booked Border Patrol, DHS, Texas officials, Arizona sheriffs, or anyone dealing with fentanyl interdiction. When networks want to keep the focus overseas, they bury the border. Oversight has vanished as well — no DOJ watchdogs, no congressional investigators, no IG reports, no whistleblowers. And the Supreme Court ruling allowing states to compare Social Security death records with voter rolls, a decision with real implications for voter‑roll maintenance and election integrity, is being ignored across the board. Not even the networks that normally jump on election‑related stories will touch it. The omission is glaring.
CBS is pushing a “responsible global leadership” theme, framing China and Iran as major actors and the U.S. as the steady hand, while avoiding Ukraine, the border, and oversight. NBC is selling a “volatile world, steady America” narrative, leaning into global instability while dodging domestic complications. ABC is fully committed to UNGA week, presenting diplomacy as the story and ignoring anything that doesn’t fit that frame, including the Supreme Court ruling. CNN is running the “Republican criticism of Trump equals bipartisan credibility” routine by booking Thom Tillis, a retiring Republican who can safely attack Trump. Fox, meanwhile, positions itself as the only network covering domestic issues — border, economy, oversight, and the Supreme Court ruling — reinforcing its message that the media is hiding the real stories.
CBS once again drags out Bill Cassidy as the “Republican voice,” despite the fact that he represents no meaningful faction inside the party. The show offers no foreign‑policy experts, no energy analysts, no mention of the Houthi pipeline attacks, no acknowledgment of Trump’s Greenland diplomacy, no Ukraine–Russia context, and absolutely no mention of the Clancy juror doxing or the murdered children. Everything is filtered through domestic political voices to maintain the preferred election‑season frame. It’s narrative engineering disguised as balance.
Fox delivers some substance, but still misses the deeper stories. The Houthi pipeline attacks might get a passing mention, but the broader implications — rising insurance rates, disrupted shipping routes, and tightening global energy markets — will be ignored. Trump’s Greenland diplomacy won’t be touched. Ukraine–Russia will be reduced to a single sentence. And the Clancy juror doxing will likely be left out entirely. Fox gets closer to the real picture than the other networks, but still stops short of telling the full story.
NBC will focus entirely on election framing and domestic messaging, treating global instability as background noise. The Houthi pipeline attacks won’t be covered, and the network will refuse to connect rising energy instability to foreign events. Ukraine–Russia will be treated as an inconvenient conflict that doesn’t fit their narrative. Trump’s Greenland diplomacy will be ignored. And the Clancy juror doxing — along with the erasure of the murdered children — will be completely absent. NBC is running domestic politics only, with inconvenient stories quietly pushed offstage.
ABC will recycle the same election narratives it pushes every week. The Houthi pipeline attacks won’t be mentioned, and the network will avoid explaining the global energy instability that is already affecting markets. Ukraine–Russia will be stripped of context and treated as background noise. Trump’s Greenland diplomacy won’t exist in their coverage. And the Clancy juror doxing will be ignored. ABC is engaged in narrative maintenance, not news.
CNN will frame everything through election politics, discussing energy instability only in terms of domestic messaging while ignoring the global causes. The Houthi pipeline attacks won’t be covered unless they can be tied to a U.S. political angle. Ukraine–Russia will be reduced to a political talking point. Trump’s Greenland diplomacy will be ignored. And the Clancy juror doxing will be left out entirely. CNN’s framing is predictable and shows zero curiosity about the deeper stories.
Now hosted by Sean Duffy — and yes, this is the part where Alas Babylon! already knew Maria Bartiromo was gone; what he didn’t know was who Fox slid into her chair, and the fact that I ended up being the one to break the news to him says everything about how quietly Fox made the switch. Without Maria, the program loses the sharp, investigative edge that made it the only Sunday show willing to touch the deeper foreign‑policy stories. Duffy brings energy, but not the same instinct for digging into uncomfortable details. If any show mentions the Houthi pipeline attacks or Trump’s Greenland diplomacy, it might be this one — but even here, the deeper stories may not get the attention they deserve. Ukraine–Russia may get a brief mention, but not the full context. Sunday Morning Futures remains the closest thing to actual coverage — but it is undeniably weakened without Maria.
This week’s real story isn’t on the guest lists. It’s in the quiet moves happening off‑camera: foreign affairs filtered through domestic voices, Ukraine–Russia reduced to a footnote, border enforcement erased, oversight buried, a Supreme Court ruling ignored, Houthi pipeline attacks tightening global energy markets, Trump’s Greenland diplomacy buried, and CBS once again elevating Bill Cassidy as the “Republican voice” despite his irrelevance. The networks won’t cover these stories. The Thumb will. The networks won’t cover these stories.
The Thumb will.

“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Hebrews 10:35-36King James Version
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Way back when working on my accounting degree at the UofO we were required to take some graduate level statistics courses. Since part of accounting was auditing which was basically sampling and projecting what the accuracy of the financials were. In sampling the key phrase back then was garbage in, garbage out which is exactly what today’s polls are all about.
This is the same old scam where they use science to fool the people into believing something which is false. If they name some respected poll and state the error factor is withing 2% then everyone is automatically supposed to believe the science of the polling company even though they have been wrong by over 15% this primary season, garbage in garbage out.
This comes back to the Iran blockade and gas prices. The Stone age Media is saying the war has gotten Trump’s likeability down to 25% and the most hated President in history, which is a millstone on the candidates, but they are sitting within the margin of error. Of course, the puppets on TV are claiming the Dums are leading by 1-2% as if their garbage polls are that accurate, but why are they not leading by 10-15% if the blockade is doing that much damage politically? The answer is because it is not.
What NBDNC and DNCNN do not realize while they are putting all the blame for high gas and diesel prices is, everyone notices their ignoring California gas prices. These are by far the highest in the country, and no reporter is axing Slick Newsome what are you doing to lower your prices while you are screaming about Trump? You are the one saying you are going to power your cars and trucks with windmills, where are the windmill driven cars?
The Newsies think they are the smartest people in the room when on every campus like at Oregon in the Business School the saying was, Those who can do, those who can’t teach, and those who can’t teach go to the School of Journalism. These talking heads have no clue what kind of samples they are using to get their fake results or how you can make whatever results you want depending on the amount of which group you mix together meaning you can get the results you want which is leading by a little.
This is why the Iran although a nuisance to most and the gas prices sting, everyone who understands the importance of oil knows it is most likely going to go down as the production improves. President Trump is fixing Biden shutting down America’s resources just like Slick Gasbag shut down California’s. He is chasing virtue points using the same scientific model they use for polls to have people go along with cutting their own throats.
There is no climate change being caused by CO2 since some scientists say high temperatures increases CO2 not the other way around. It is just a fraud to allow the Communists to destroy American free enterprise by making energy production the villain they always need. Every cult needs a villain, and the Communist Cult walks them out one after another after another and Climate Change has been their main one for twenty years and now the world is paying the price with this disruption.
What this means is the war is not affecting Repubs running for office as much as the experts say it is. There should be ten-point spreads minimum if it were the case and the pollsters are barely able to make a lead for the Dims. Could it be the people know the Dims would make gas prices worse rather than better?
This should be encouraging to Repubs and focus even more on getting out the vote. If they can get 90% of their voters to turn out in this off year it will blow the doors off the Dims. They have no answers or solutions to worker’s affordability issues and Trump is doing everything he can to get this solved. There are mountains of oil coming it is just the has to reverse all the Biden and Slick Newsome roadblocks before he can get it flowing like it has never flowed before.
Don’t let them fool you, the Dims are the ones in trouble and no matter how many mediots scream Iran is winning, the polls show the people are not ready to change back to Biden.
Pray for Iranian Peace
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
Also, lots of info on how the war in Iran has devastated Iran financially with their currency worthless and food and desperately needed supplies drying up fast.
Drivebys seem to forget that is happening. Actually,Trumps plan worked better than ever estimated its just ignored due to the billions of free advertising given to the DNC and other commies now running for office.
Problem is those in charge at the irgc which is seldom mentioned by the drivebys just don't care.
They have no concern at all about life. People who die mean nothing to the irgc! It's all fight, battle, die for the dumbest reasons ever and then repeat.
The Ukraine war remains a huge fiasco. Nato the US and others keep Ukraine alive with big time weapons that cause all kinds of anger in Moscow.
No one seems to care at all about the hundreds of nukes all pointed at the US. Where this war ends is anyone's' guess.
Meanwhile, in Israel no one has bothered to report on why Israel had to go into Hamas territory to rid the world of the worst terrorists ever.Terrorists who taught the irgc how to hide in schools,churches,hospitals and other places that are normally immune from war.
But not with terrorists. Anything goes with them and then when the worst of the worst happens with innocents being killed or maimed. Our driveby media is always the first to report it.
I seldom see or hear anything about this at all.Who is really to blame for the death of innocents. Just a few of the unreported issues this week. 
Miles of tunnels exist both in Gaza and in Iran hiding all kinds of explosives,terrorists, hostages,munitions,arms, drugs
Ukraine defending itself isn’t a NATO war. Did Russia think they wouldn’t?
But don’t worry about a nuclear war. The U.S. isn’t firing anything at Russia. And Russia having nukes didn’t stop proxy conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, or the Middle East.
Nuclear arsenals prevent superpowers from fighting each other directly — they don’t freeze wars between other countries.
Take one poll here in Florida. Out of four polls on the nixon Moody senate race in Florida one poll showed the commie Nixon who happens to be female and black at a near 50/50 race.
Of course seldom mentioned is the other three polls which show Sen.Ashley Moody, who will win going away, is between 7 and 10 points ahead of the race card carrying Nixon.
Just one example of how the driveby media do what they do. They are now going crazy because Trump has banned them from all kinds of places where they need to be to shill for the dirty dems.
Trump knows clear bias when he sees it and wants no part of it in the upcoming election. It's key for the country and those who embrace freedom.
