Knees trick on the broadcast networks every time President Donald Trump makes a dramatic move. They are going to denounce his Verbiage as too reckless. They want to suggest that he is making all the facts. They will suggest that his motives are racist and extremist.
We have heard all this on ABC, CBS and NBC after the president announced that he would take the order for a month of the DC police and the National Guard calls to combat crime in the capital of the country.
It started immediately on Monday, August 11. On ABC’s’ World News Tonight ‘, Anchorman David Muir began to insist that it was the Democrats who owned the facts:’ Tonight President Trump ordered the National Guard to take over the police from the capital of the nation. Tonight, the mayor of Washington who pushed back with the crime statistics and what they actually show. ”

ABC and CBS did not recognize that these “official figures” were rigged – that an officer was suspended for manipulating crime statistics to show improvement – that “historical lows” to the media.
ABC also failed to mention that their own colleagues told a different story about their streaming channel, ABC News Live. Anchor Kyra Phillips described the scene near ABC Studios in DC, only blocks north of the White House: “I can tell you first -hand here in the center of DC where we work here, here in our desk, just in the past six months, there are two people who have passed, but the life in the agency here.”

In May a poll by Washington Post showed that 91% of DC residents consider crime as a problem, with 51% who say it is an extremely serious problem. Moreover, it is in particular black and low incomes inhabitants who are most concerned about it. They live in the neighborhoods with the worst crime.
On “CBS Evening News”, Co-anchor Maurice Dubois offered a broken fact check: “Despite the evidence, the president said that the crime of the capital of the nation is out of hand. It has actually fallen since the pandemic.” That’s wrong. Violent crime peaked in 2023, so that all the talk points have come down since then. The local population is not impressed if the annual number of murders amounts to from 274 to 187. They don’t want to become a crime statistics.
On Monday, “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Lama’s: “The DC takeover of the president, explained a crime of emergency and took control of the city’s police and sent the mayor of Washington. The mayor of Washington calls it” disturbing and unprecedented “while demonstrants take the streets.”

It is fascinating that none of the networks pointed out that Mayor Muriel Bowser is a democrat. The city council has 11 Democrats and two independent people. The chosen DC processor general, Brian Schwalb, is a democrat. These networks do not want you to think that Trump’s “goals” are partisely opponents here. They are somehow non -party civil servants.
On ABC’s “Good Morning America” On Tuesday, fellow guesthous Michael Strahan Claims from House Democrats (in this case Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin) pushed that every focus on the DC misery of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

While experts such as MSNBC host Joe Scarborough were afraid that Democrats fell into a fall by being aggressive deniers of crime, the networks remained on the liberal framework. “PBS News Hour” Amna Nawaz stated Thursday: “It is all part of a federal performance in the capital of the country launched by President Trump, with reference to an emergency that does not fully support the data.”
This approach indicates that these left -wing networks think that “the data” always ends up reliably at the liberal point of view, about “the right side of history” and the storyline of the problems of America with racism. This arrogance is especially daring when the statistics they use are literally ‘fake news’.
