President Donald Trump flew to China to make nice with communist leader Xi Jinping this week. It didn’t sound like the Cold War, or the recent trade wars. The word “détente” was in the air, so for anti-communists who didn’t love President Richard Nixon in China or President Jimmy Carter kissing Soviet dictator Leonid Brezhnev […]

TV networks have more leverage over the NFL and streamers than the league realizes
The prevailing narrative around the NFL’s media rights is that the league will pressure its television partners to pay significantly higher fees before the 2029-30 opt-out period begins (2030-31 for ESPN), or risk losing their packages to streaming platforms. However, we are not convinced the NFL has as much leverage as it has led industry […]
BROADCAST BIAS: From space to ceasefires, networks still paint Trump as the problem
President Trump recently complained, “I get 93 percent bad publicity,” and studies from the Media Research Center, where I work, have shown time and again that evening news coverage on the broadcast networks is around 90% negative, month after month. How can that be? It’s because these networks will find something negative no matter which […]
BROADCAST BIAS: Networks downplay illegal immigrant crime, even when women are murdered
On Thursday, March 19, an 18-year-old college student at Loyola University in Chicago named Sheridan Gorman was allegedly shot dead by an illegal alien from Venezuela, Jose Medina. The networks could barely touch the story, or talk about the immigration status of the alleged shooter. CBS only spent two minutes, followed by ABC at 79 […]
Australia terror attack exposes ISIS resurgence as experts warn of global jihadist networks
The terror attack in Australia has renewed urgent warnings from intelligence officials and counterterrorism experts that global jihadist networks are intensifying their reach, even as Western governments continue to frame groups like ISIS as weakened or in retreat. Bill Roggio, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and one of the longest-running […]
CNN staffers fear for ‘utter s— show’ in network’s future if Paramount buys Warner Bros Discovery: insiders
CNN is on the brink of having yet another new owner and, as of this moment, it’s anyone’s guess as to who it’ll be. In October, CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery announced it was putting itself up for sale. It previously said it was going to split into two companies — one for the […]
Fox Exclusive: Nationwide human trafficking bust targets Chinese organized crime networks
Fox News exclusively embedded with the Austin Police Department as part of a nationwide human trafficking operation targeting illicit Chinese massage parlors. A loudspeaker blared, “Austin Police! Search warrant! Come out with your hands up,” as detectives from the Human Trafficking Division swept one illegal parlor. Inside, a sign advertised spa services, and another ironically […]
BROADCAST BIAS: How networks buried a bombshell Senate hearing on Biden’s mental fitness
The legacy media cover congressional hearings based on their usual standard of newsworthiness. This is it: If they are run by Democrats and are meant to propel them to political power, they are presented as the most urgent, sober, and nonpartisan news of the day. But hearings run by Republicans to drive home a Republican […]
The global intifada is here. Hamas-aligned networks brought terror to US soil and we need to stop it
For decades, “Globalize the Intifada” chants have rung throughout Europe and the Middle East, a blatant and unmistakable call for violence and terrorism against Israelis and Jews. But over the past two years, those chants have only intensified and multiplied, now making their way west to our United States. What started with campus protests has […]
BROADCAST BIAS: Networks go full negative spin over tariff turbulence, steer clear of good economic news
Economic indicators in President Donald Trump’s first term presented hard facts for a lot of positive reporting before the COVID pandemic lockdowns, but that’s not what the broadcast networks presented to America. Thirty-one Dow Jones records were set between January 1, 2017 and January, 26, 2018. Overall, in 2017, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose […]
BROADCAST BIAS: Networks hide Mahmoud Khalil’s pro-Hamas message, show lots of sympathy
This week’s media cause célèbre is Mahmoud Khalil, the leader of a New York City protest group calling itself Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD). The network newscasts displayed no interest in this group’s public statements and couldn’t connect their messaging with their protest leader. On October 9, 2024, The New York Times reported CUAD marked […]
Jury foreman in CNN defamation trial speaks out, says network’s staff did more harm than good on witness stand
The foreman of the jury that found that CNN committed defamation against U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young doesn’t believe the network did itself any favors during the high-stakes trial. “I think it may change the way a lot of people look at CNN and maybe not take their news 100% to be correct,” Katy Svitenko told […]
