The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows censored news on a White House-backed "dark money" group being formed to help sell President Joe Biden’s leftist agenda to the American people. A Wall Street Journal exclusive revealed that Biden’s allies were “preparing to create a new nonprofit advocacy organization, with the White House’s approval, that will be funded by donors and seek to build support for his policy agenda, senior administration officials said.” The Feb. 17 report noted that the new group, named “Building Back Together,” will “be a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, which would allow it to operate without disclosing its...

The National Football League did not have a very good year in terms of television ratings. Though, you wouldn’t know that based on what they’re asking their broadcast partners to pay. The NFL is asking their broadcast partners – NBC, Fox, CBS, ESPN (Disney) – to pay double what they have been paying for the right to broadcast NFL games. However, Disney-owned ESPN is throwing sand in the NFL’s gears.

On CBS’s Magnum PI (S3 E8 February 12 2021), a twelve-year-old steals his father’s gun from a bedside table and accidentally shoots his ten-year-old brother. The message is parents should be afraid of guns in the home even if the parent is at home. But this again greatly exaggerates the dangers of guns in the home. In 2019, there were 37 accidental gun deaths for children under eleven years of age. Past research has shown that most of those involve shots from adult males, most in the mid to late 20s, who also have criminal records and are very likely...

Black employees at Apple, Bank of America, Capital One and Starbucks give high marks to the workplace culture at the companies, according to a report from Glassdoor that offers a sense of how minority workers are faring at some of America's best-known corporations. The analysis of company ratings and ethnicity appears at a time when major companies, including Microsoft, Wells Fargo and Salesforce, have publicly vowed to increase diversity hiring and make their workplaces more welcoming to workers of color.

CBS is looking to expand the NCIS franchise outside the contiguous United States. TVLine has learned that the Eye network is in the early stages of developing a new iteration of NCIS, this one set in Hawaii. This would mark CBS’ third NCIS spinoff and the fourth NCIS series overall, joining the Mark Harmon-headlined mothership, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans. A CBS spokesperson declined to comment for this story.

A brawling, street smart Philly lawyer slaps the hell out of a Leftist media bitch. 7:43 He really starts laying into her at about the 3:30 mark.

As the United States prepares to open back up after the unnecessarily long COVID lockdowns, the mainstream media is shaping the narrative that “vaccination passports” will not only be required for travel, but that they will arrive as a necessity by this summer.CBS News travel editor, Peter Greenberg, almost appeared gleeful when he predicted two things: that travel – both domestic and international – would most likely return this summer, and that there would be a prerequisite to being able to travel.Greenberg stated bluntly that in order to travel you will most likely need proof that you’ve been vaccinated for...

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts have now ignored news that makes former President Donald Trump’s economic policies look good even after he’s out of office. Fox Business reported that “The US economy will bounce back to its pre-pandemic size by the middle of the year without any emergency stimulus, the US Congressional Budget Office [CBO] projected Monday [February 1].” The CBO report specifically stated that if “current laws governing federal taxes and spending (as of January 12) generally remain in place and that no significant additional emergency funding or aid is provided,” the economy will continue to strengthen...

Fear or "armed protest" at state capitols across the country did not materialize in any significant numbers...

"Far-right extremists" said to be upset with President Trump over his calls for peace following the January 6th incident at the US Capitol... The Federal Communications Commission out today with an "enforcement advisory" about the use of...

Ever since election night in 2020, the ratings at FOX News have been in free-fall. Millions of loyal fans felt betrayed when the network called Arizona early for Biden while holding off calling other obvious wins for Trump. Now they are considering firing their current CEO, instead of people like Chris Wallace and Juan Williams. The stunning thing about this is that they are reportedly considering hiring David Rhodes, the brother of former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes, as their new chief.

ARMY/NAVY GAME ON NOW!! 3PM EDT CH2 - TRUMP IS THERE

It’s as if the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows have a vendetta against informing viewers about any historic news coming out of the stock market during President Donald Trump’s presidency. The major S&P 500 stock index soared to close above 3,700 Tuesday for the first time in its history (3,702.25), according to CNBC. But that’s not all. Other stocks rose to “all-time highs” as well, including the Dow Jones (30,173.88) and the NASDAQ (12,582.77). The surge in the stock market was riding on the news that Pfizer — involved with President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed — began...

Not reporting one major stock record is bad enough. And yet, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows decided it was fine to black out news on three major stock indexes that hit new records. The censorship of positive news in the stock market under President Donald Trump has continued with absolute impunity. The Dow Jones closed Friday up 248 points to finish at 30,218. The S&P 500 increased to 3,699, and the Big Tech-heavy NASDAQ finished at 12,464, according to TheStreet. Fox Business referred to this major event as a “trifecta” of record closes in the stock market....

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows are trying to insulate former Vice President Joe Biden from bad news that could undermine confidence in his leftist economic agenda. Small business confidence fell to an “all-time low” after traditional media sources and Big Tech declared the election for Biden, according to a November 10 - November 17 Q4 CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Survey cited by CNBC November 30. The survey, which interviewed 2,200 small business owners nationally, yielded a confidence index of 48. This means that “Main Street’s outlook is now below where it was during the second quarter of this...

President-elect Joe Biden got testy with a CBS News reporter who asked him a question on Friday about his plan to get children back into classrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic. The tense exchange took place just as Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were wrapping up a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in Wilmington, Delaware. ‘In my Oval Office, mi casa, you casa,’ Biden, who turned 78 years old on Friday, is heard telling the senior Democratic Party leaders.

CBS has announced that at least half the cast of the popular and long running reality game shows, including Survivor and Big Brother, will be made up of nonwhite contestants. “The reality TV genre is an area that’s especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling,” George Cheeks, president and chief executive officer for the CBS Entertainment Group, said in a statement. “As we strive to improve all of these creative aspects, the commitments announced today are important first steps in sourcing new voices to create content and further expanding the...

On Monday, the network introduced an initiative that requires these shows to ensure that 50% of their casts are Black, Indigenous or People of Color, or BIPOC. Additionally, the network has committed to putting at least 25% of its development budget towards creators and producers who are BIPOC. These reality TV targets will kick off during the 2021-22 broadcast season. “The reality TV genre is an area that’s especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling,” George Cheeks, president and CEO for the CBS Entertainment Group, said in a statement.
