Looking back to 2025, it is clear that, on a daily basis, the broadcast networks are dismissed by most Americans as a source of daily advertising for one side of the political debate. This tilt has increased over the past decade of media obsession with President Donald Trump.
The broadcast networks have not distinguished themselves as capable of reason and common sense during Trump’s second term. What happens far too often is emotionally overwrought propaganda. Here is a short top 10:
10. In a rare moment on ABC’s “The View” where pseudo-conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin stood up for America on June 18, she was quickly dismissed. Griffin stated, “I think it’s very different living in the United States in 2025 than living in Iran.” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg responded, “Not if you’re black!” So America is a theocracy for black people? Griffin continued to urge, “Guys, don’t compare us to Tehran. No one at this table should go to Tehran.” Goldberg did the same: “Not everyone feels this way!”
9. In the same vein, it is baffling when crusading liberal journalists stand up for Hamas terrorists. On the March 30 edition of “60 Minutes,” former Israeli hostage Keith Siegel said his Palestinian captors “beat and starved me.” Lesley Stahl felt the need to stand up for Hamas: “Do you think they starved you or they just didn’t have any food?” Siegel replied, “They often ate before my eyes and offered me no food.”

8. If you think “60 Minutes” is about being tough on everyone, then you missed their March 23 puffball interview with actor George Clooney, who took his CBS News myth-making play “Good Night and Good Luck” to Broadway. Clooney stated, “Journalism and truth-telling to power has to be waged like war is waged. It doesn’t just happen by accident. You know, it takes people saying, ‘We’re going to do these stories and you’re going to have to come after us and that’s how it is.’ But no one waged war on Clooney. He was blown up on this show and later in the year on “Sunday Morning”.
7. Speaking of puffball interviews: “PBS News Hour” conducted a “Driving Miss Daisy” interview with former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on May 2 before a live audience of San Francisco liberals. He was throwing softballs like, “What do you think about generational change?” and “What was the hardest voice to push through. What voice are you most proud of?” She said Obamacare, and said the Republican resolutions against it were like “doggy doo,” and they tried to sell it like chocolate ice cream. After half an hour of groveling, Bennett told Pelosi, “You may not be able to hear it, but there’s a lot of applause in the room for you here!” Pelosi gushed, “Thanks, PBS!”
6. National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher, testifying before Congress on May 26, went against decades of evidence, claiming, “I welcome the opportunity to discuss the essential role of public media in delivering unbiased, unbiased, fact-based reporting to Americans.” When Rep. Jim Jordan asked point-blank whether NPR was biased, Maher claimed, “I have never seen any examples of political bias driving editorial decisions.” That sounds deaf, dumb and blind.
EX-ABC NEWS REPORTER ADMITS EMPLOYER IS RISING AGAINST TRUMP FOR LACK OF ‘VIEWPOINT DIVERSITY’
5. The radical left’s ‘No Kings’ protests with ‘Impeach Trump Again’ signs were automatically news, without disturbing rebuttals. A Saturday protest on October 18 generated nearly 18 minutes of stultifying news coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS. That’s about 18 times more than the 50 seconds these networks gave to the anti-abortion “March for Life” in January.
4. The late-night comedians weren’t just anti-Trump, they were in love with radical leftist Zohran Mamdani. When he won the race for mayor, Stephen Colbert joked about this immigrant’s victory: “I was just told they already changed the poem on the Statue of Liberty: ‘I don’t cry, you cry.'” Jimmy Kimmel claimed that this “means your racist aunt and uncle have a new name to mispronounce this Thanksgiving.”

3. Comedians lack not only a basis in facts, but also basic moral decency. Before quitting in a huff, CBS comedian Taylor Tomlinson uncorked a series of ugly valentines for alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione. Here’s the most memorable one, on March 6: “It’s been a pretty bad week for the world, so I have a gift for you. My friends, there’s a sex tape of Luigi. That’s right. Luigi Mangione is the accused murderer of a healthcare CEO, whose name was: He’s not popular, so I don’t remember.”
2. One of the worst network outbursts following the brutal murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk came from ABC correspondent Matt Gutman, who reported on text messages between shooting suspect Tyler Robinson and his transfeminine lover. Gutman said the text messages released by authorities were “very intimate” and “very moving,” with the killer calling his trans partner “my love” and “I want to protect you, my love.” Despite this sickening blunder, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss recruited him to CBS News.

1. For sheer emotional imbalance, nothing beats ABC jester Jimmy Kimmel claiming Kirk’s alleged killer was a Trump supporter, leading to a suspension of four entire programs. Kimmel’s malodorous oeuvre was celebrated as free speech’s most precious goal, even though no one has the right to a broadcasting platform. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos mourned the attack on “independent media,” and he’s the last person in America who would qualify for that label. When his show returned, networks flooded with joy over Kimmel’s “emotional,” “heartfelt” and “passionate” monologue that doubled as a “searing defense of free speech.”
The left argues that only her speech can be celebrated as ‘free speech’. Conservative statements are dismissed as ‘disinformation’. Just like the left-wing networks offer “independent journalism” and the conservative media are evil “MAGA media.” They cannot be honest that their rampant editing is not objective, fact-based or impartial. They all sound negative, just like the CEO of NPR.
