A lot of what we cover here at the Media Research Center consists of bias by omission. Specifically, when media outlets omit narrative-unfriendly stories in their entirety, or omit selected details from within those stories that are inconvenient to liberal narrative. Tonight on NBC Nightly News, we saw the exact opposite.

Working out, we can see the all the local media "news" reports at the gym. Some network affiliated stations, some 'independent' ones. Amazing that Minnesota has been the epicenter of fraud and took center stage on that and Florida media is silent. Then the governor of the state, the handpicked running mate of the 'black' woman sidekick to Sleepy Joe, is forced to quit his attempt for re-election. Florida media again is silent. But a moron driver tries to run over an ICE agent and the Miami media...goes all in on "eeeevil Trump!"

Anyone else notice this in their local news coverage? Maybe I see it more because there is a large Hispanic and especially Venezuelan population in Miami. But the Venezuelan diaspora is VERY HAPPY with President Trump for booting Maduro. *THE MEDIA REFUSES TO REPORT THIS FACT* Instead, the "journalists" say stuff like "The Venezuelans have hope for the future of their homeland..." But nothing about how they praise Trump.

Investigative reporter Catherine Herridge revealed how CBS executives blocked the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story. Catherine Herridge previously worked as the chief intelligence correspondent for Fox News. In 2019, she joined CBS News as a senior investigative correspondent. She was fired in 2024 after she probed the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story. Hunter Biden dropped off his damaged laptops at a Delaware computer repair shop run by John Paul Mac Isaac back in 2019. John Paul Mac Isaac’s life changed in April 2019 when a visibly drunk Hunter Biden stopped by his computer repair shop with three damaged...

A recent video by conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley alleged nearly a dozen day care centers in Minnesota that are receiving public funds are not actually providing any service. After the video went viral, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced a "massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud" in the state. CBS News conducted its own analysis of nearly a dozen day care centers mentioned by Shirley: all but two have active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations were visited by state regulators within the last six months. CBS News' review also found dozens of citations related to...

Alfonsi's immigration piece needed additional reporting, Editor in Chief Bari Weiss told CBS staff

As Washington state residents take stock of widespread damage, officials say the recent succession of storms highlights why proactive work to protect communities from flooding is so essential. But the Trump administration has delayed or attempted to cut federal funding for some of those projects, leaving a slate of the state’s major initiatives in limbo. Washington had secured tens of millions of dollars in federal grants for projects to elevate houses, move people away from flood-prone areas and protect homes with new levees, among other measures. But earlier this year, the Trump administration attempted to cancel roughly $182 million in...

We’ve reported extensively on the shenanigans at CBS News, the network that was forced to fork over $16 million in July to settle Trump’s lawsuit concerning their deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview a month before the 2024 presidential election. Much drama ensued at the outlet as veteran diehards continued to insist that resisting Trump and spewing anti-American rhetoric was part of their job description. Give credit, however, to David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount (Skydance Corporation), who brought on independent journalist, former NY Times opinion editor, and nowadays free thinker Bari Weiss to oversee the hopelessly biased...

Apparently blatant editorializing in place of straight news now seems to be becoming increasingly the rule not the exception at the Associated Press.The latest example of AP breaking its own rules against opinionating in news stories is so blatantly absurd as to be laughable. The AP on Thursday actually took the November inflation rate of 2.7% which was below the expected 3.1% and somehow turned that good news into a negative. Check the headline on AP reporters Paul Wiseman's and Anne D'Innocenzio's editorial poorly disguised as an article, "US says price increases eased last month but data may be distorted...

President Donald Trump made a series of false claims during his prime-time address from the White House on Wednesday night, most of which have been debunked before. Here is a fact check of some of his assertions. Inflation and the economy Inflation under Trump: Near the end of the speech, Trump falsely claimed, “Inflation is stopped.” Inflation hasn’t stopped; the most recent available year-over-year inflation rate at the time he spoke on Wednesday, 3.0% in September, was the same as the rate when Trump returned to office in January – in fact, if you go to multiple decimal places,...

Following her historic win in Tuesday night's Miami mayoral runoff election, Eileen Higgins outlined her agenda. “It feels heavy," Higgins said. "I know that people are expecting a lot from the City of Miami... On the issue of immigration, the city has previously signed the controversial 287g agreement with immigration officials Higgins gave her thoughts on that agreement. “The city should never entered into that agreement,” she said. “There is no reason in the city of Miami that...

Here is a question you can ask the Google AI: "Can the Associated Press editorialize?"And here is the answer you will get:"No, the Associated Press (AP) strives for factual, nonpartisan reporting and prohibits its journalists from editorializing or expressing personal opinions in their news coverage; their core mission is to provide objective news, but they face scrutiny and debate over potential biases, requiring consumers and member editors to remain vigilant for bias and clearly identify third-party contributions."That's some remarkably unintelligent artificial intelligence.Well, it sure seems like the AP violated its own alleged prohibition of editorializing with their Saturday story about...

.... She was subsequently placed into a patrol vehicle but was released a short time later, according to the Miami Herald. "During a traffic stop, a U.S. citizen, who was driving her illegal alien boyfriend's car, refused to comply with repeated lawfully given orders by law enforcement to identify herself. She was removed from the vehicle and briefly held while her identity was confirmed. She was promptly released...

Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief at CBS News, is already making waves.The founder and editor of The Free Press and former New York Times columnist has adopted a rallying cry in meetings with colleagues, according to the Wall Street Journal.: "I wanna blow this up." Weiss's plan "is working to overhaul the organization’s evening news program, counter what she sees as a left-leaning bias in legacy media and make the newsroom operate more efficiently," reports the Journal. Paramount Global and its new boss, Dave Ellison, recently acquired CBS in a deal that was harshly criticized by other legacy media outlets....

UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust Legal Director, Natasha Hausdorff, joins media consultant David Ross to discuss her own dealings with BBC News and the BBC’s response to allegations raised in an internal whistleblower report, published by The Telegraph. The memo — written by Michael Prescott — alleged failures in BBC management, concerns about accuracy and impartiality and issues of anti-Israel bias relating to coverage of Israel and the conflict in Gaza. An extract of Prescott's letter includes the following: "Claims against Israel seem to be raced to air or online without adequate checks, evidencing either carelessness or a desire...

A report in Huffington Post recently revealed the case of Wikipedia editor Ed Sussman, who was paid by media clients such as NBC and Axios to help diminish critical material. Paid editors operating in a similar manner to Sussman have worked on behalf of CNN contributor Hilary Rosen and the CEOs of Reddit and Intel, among other clients. Other conduct by Sussman not covered by the Huffington Post shows him authoring fluff pieces for NBC executives and getting his proposed changes approved by another paid Wikipedia editor.

The Trump administration is using an imagined enemy—“antifa”—to justify turning ICE into an ultra-violent, unaccountable army invading US cities. Portlanders deploying inflatable animal costumes, a brass band, mass ukulele renditions of “This Land Is Your Land,” naked bike rides, and other tactics in their ICE protests are undermining the Trump administration’s lurid claims that Portland, Oregon, is a “war-torn” city under siege by a violent left. It’s hard to portray someone dancing in an inflatable frog or chicken costume as a terrorist. This, of course, hasn’t stopped the Trump administration from officially designating antifa a domestic terrorist organization. Secretary of...

President presented award to Kirk’s widow, Erika, on what would have been the far-right commentator’s 32nd birthdayDonald Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, to the assassinated far-right commentator Charlie Kirk at the White House on Tuesday.Kirk, who was shot at an event at Utah Valley University in September, was among the most significant rightwing activists in the modern political era, galvanizing a younger generation of conservatives to engage in politics and support Trump’s candidacy ahead of the 2024 election.But Kirk was also polarizing through his rhetoric, which often criticized gay...
