ABC News, already the worst among the Elitist Media broadcast network evening newscasts, may have plumbed a new low. A story subject’s murderous, transgender father was hit with Disney pixie dust and spun into the more anodyne “former family member.” Watch the report in its entirety, as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Thursday, March 12th, 2026: WATCH: @ABCWorldNews retcons the Rhode Island triple-murdering transgender as the "former family member" of the brave kid who willed his team into the state championship. It was, in fact, his deranged father. pic.twitter.com/8RSJIkYxk2 — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) March 13, 2026 DAVID MUIR: Finally tonight, America Strong. The goal of a lifetime for a high school hockey hero. Here's Will Reeve. WILL REEVE: Tonight in Providence, Rhode Island: the high school hockey player, game-winning goal in double overtime, and his triumph after unimaginable tragedy. Blackstone Valley School senior Colin Dorgan, number 17. Nearly a month ago, Colin’s mother, brother and grandfather were killed at his hockey game- targeted by a former family member. His team, his community rallying behind Colin. And now, three weeks later, they’re back on the ice. Their jerseys stitched with a heart with the initials of the victims. It's double overtime in their Division II state semifinal game. And here’s Colin, all alone. ANNOUNCER: It's Dorgan! Oh, my goodness! Colin Dorgan! A storybook ending to this semifinal! BVS wins it in double overtime! REEVE: His school, behind the glass, on their feet cheering for him. The announcers recognizing the moment. ANNOUNCER: Nothing will ever change what happened to that young man. But there’s a moment for him that he will never forget. REEVE: Afterward, Colin calling it the greatest moment of his life, so soon after the worst. Tonight Colin Dorgan sending his team to the state championship game, saying he could feel the love from every person out there in the arena. MUIR: We are all cheering you on, Colin, and good luck. I’m David Muir. I’ll see you back here tomorrow. Good night. It isn’t often that we profile an end-of-newscast human interest feelgood story for some sort of over-the-top bias. Those items are usually about lost pets reunited with their families, or a profile in human resilience. And, in all fairness, this story is about that, too. This story confirms what America learned over the Winter Olympics- that hockey guys appear to be made of sterner stuff.  ABC mars this beautiful story by trying to sweep the kid’s father under the rug. “Former family member” is a bizarre sophistry because it leads one to question, exactly, when he became “former.” Was it when he decided to pretend to be a woman, or when he killed himself after eliminating other members of his family?  ABC was just as awful when the story first broke. Correspondent Stephanie Ramos waited until the end of her report to say that the kid’s father also went by a female name, as if we were talking about a drag queen stage name. Ultimately, what we have here is a powerful story of human resilience in the face of unspeakable tragedy. This story will endure, notwithstanding ABC’s pathological need to adhere to a trans agenda.  

The public media martyrdom of would-be deportee Mahmoud Khalil continues on National Public Radio. Khalil, who performed openly pro-Hamas activities during post-October 7 campus protests as a green card grad student at Columbia University, before the Trump Administration moved to arrest and deport him, was celebrated on Tuesday morning’s All Things Considered. The fawning profile by DHS/immigration reporter Ximena Bustillo and national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson: “One year later: Mahmoud Khalil remains in limbo but ready to fight.” Khalil attended protests that distributed Hamas and Hezbollah literature, which the United States considers terrorist organizations. There's no First Amendment right to support violence and terror, and no right for green card holders to stay in the country if they violate American policy, especially not a graduate student who abused his host country’s hospitality by harassing its Jewish citizens – there were many disgusting anti-Semitic incidents at Columbia University. Khalil could never bring himself to condemn Hamas. Yet NPR stuck up for Khalil’s Columbia protesting, without providing any examples of his controversial stands like supporting Hamas’s murderous rampage of October 7, 2023. Does NPR really want listened to sympathize more for Khalil than the innocents killed, raped, and kidnapped? (New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who refused to condemn Hamas, and his publicly pro-Hamas wife hosted Khalil and his wife for dinner Monday night.) From the text version of NPR’s soddenly sympathetic profile: Last year, Mahmoud Khalil helped his wife pick out a name for their baby while he sat in immigration detention. For more than 100 days, Khalil waited in immigration custody to learn if he would be allowed to live in the U.S. with his son, whose birth he missed, or be sent to a country he had never lived in. A year after Khalil was detained outside his New York apartment, his legal odyssey continues. The detention last March of Khalil, then a Columbia University graduate student, marked the start of a nationwide effort to deport noncitizens who speak out about Israel's war in Gaza. He now sits at the vanguard of a legal battle over immigrants' due process and civil rights pitted against the Trump administration's mass-detention and deportation policies. "One year after, the government has not charged me with any crimes or presented any evidence that I committed wrongdoings whatsoever," Khalil told NPR in a recent interview. "I was absolutely targeted for what I represent, which is a student movement that erupted against the U.S. support for Israel." The bathos intensified. Life is different now for this legal permanent resident. He wears a baseball cap to cover his face. He looks over his shoulder while walking on the street. He doesn't go out alone with his son for fear he could be detained again. The on-air transcript had a couple of additional pathetic pro-Khalil details. XIMENA BUSTILLO: At first, the administration relied on a legal justification from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio deployed a rarely used statute to declare that Khalil's presence in the U.S. had potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences. Khalil says the administration wanted to make an example out of him because of his vocal support for Gaza. Except it wasn’t merely “vocal support for Gaza,” a euphemism if there ever was one for justifying Hamas’s violence. NPR’s reporters let him get away with similar blandishments unchallenged, as when Khalil claimed “I was absolutely targeted for what I represent, which is a student movement that erupted against the U.S. support to Israel.” After Khalil whined “This case has been my full-time job,” reporter Carrie Johnson chimed in with sympathy, and Khalil was granted the final humanizing detail. JOHNSON: And that job is far from over. Khalil's son turns 1 in April, and a celebration to mark the end of Ramadan will come in mid-March. Those moments weigh on his mind. KHALIL: That's one of my biggest fears, to be honest, now -- that I will not be here for his first birthday or even for the first Eid together - because these are important milestones. The Bibas brothers, murdered along with their mother by Hamas at age 4 and 10 months, won’t see any more birthdays either. Did Khalil ever have any sympathy for their murders? Would NPR dare ask him?

If journalists pose as guardians of the public interest, why do they get on the wrong side of 80-20 issues? Our study of the network newscasts and the Big Four News Apps found great disinterest in the "Save ACT," which would require proof of citizenship of voter registration and voter ID at the polls. It's overwhelmingly popular -- and being ignored.  NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck and Free Speech America director Michael Morris join the show to discuss this bill and other things.  MRC analysts reviewed the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news shows from February 11 (when the SAVE America Act passed the House) to the morning of March 10 and found the broadcast networks have devoted ZERO seconds to the bill that enjoys more than 70 percent approval in recent polling.  MRC Free Speech America’s review found that a similar pattern continued on the Big Four News Apps, where coverage was either completely absent (Google, Apple, MSN) or negative (on Yahoo). Why can't the media try a good-government bias, in favor of clean elections and against defrauding the government? CBS’s morning and evening news shows offered reports on hospice fraud in California. CBS Mornings host Gayle King dropped the stunning statistic that “suspected Medicare hospice fraud totaled almost — listen to this number — $200 million in 2023” and, in California, “many hospices with red flags still remain in business” despite having “vowed to stamp out fraud” “four years ago.”    Two Muslim teens bringing homemade bombs to an anti-Islam protest outside the home of Muslim New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani can't be presented in a straightforward manner. CNN NewsNight host Abby Phillip was wrecked on social media after publishing a retraction to a gross mischaracterization. She had claimed the Islamic men with a bomb were threatening Mayor Mamdani, not anti-Islam protesters. Other CNN personalities also mangled it into an anti-Mamdani threat.  This bias against the "far right" was obvious on PBS during the controversy over deportations in Minneapolis. From January 7 to February 13, PBS News Hour devoted 95 minutes and 34 seconds of coverage to Trump’s immigration operation in Minneapolis/ PBS’s coverage turned out 85% negative against ICE and the Border Patrol, 15% positive. When soundbites were taken out, the numbers shifted to 90% negative vs. 10% positive. Of 34 total guest appearances during that time, 28 voiced negative opinions on ICE, with 3 guests rated positive and 3 neutral, a negative/positive ratio of over 9 to 1. PBS journalists asked those guests 63 questions from the anti-ICE perspective, with 4 questions positive and 44 neutral, a negative/positive ratio of nearly 16 to 1. With numbers like these, this isn’t an accidental bias. It’s an intensely intentional tilt. This is why PBS needed to have its federal funding ended. It doesn’t serve the public. It serves the Left.

During breaking news coverage of the Michigan synagogue attack on Thursday, MS NOW host Katy Tur decided to connect the attack to the Republican Party in multiple instances of the first hour, including a placement of blame of “Donald Trump’s war in Iran.” Additionally, Near the end of her first hour, Tur turned to talk about anti-Semitism on the far-right in the midst of the synagogue attack with fellow MS NOW host, All In’s Chris Hayes. Katy Tur Reports was in continuation of MS NOW’s breaking news coverage that started around 1:30 PM Eastern after a driver rammed into Temple Israel near Detroit. In her first instance, Tur connected the attack to “Donald Trump’s war in Iran.” Here’s that in full: So, Rob, one of the things I heard from the sheriff was that he had been in contact with federal authorities on the threat situation for the past few weeks, which would seem to line up with the war in Iran. This readiness for anything that could happen as a result of Donald Trump's war with Iran. Did you hear that in the same way that I did and, I guess, if they were to investigate whether there was a nexus here, how did they go about doing that? It is not the connection to Iran, but it is more the direct connection made to Trump as if he is directly responsible for a crazed person’s ramming of a synagogue.   MS NOW is already suggesting the Republican Party has something to do with the Michigan Synagogue shooter: "The Republican party is having, right now, a real fight on its hands, has a real fight on its hands amid wings of the Republican Party that are extremely antisemitic or… pic.twitter.com/bcjsrtxpmU — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 12, 2026   Then, 55 minutes into her show, she made a wider connection to the Republican Party with Hayes: The Republican Party is having, right now, a real fight on its hands - has a real fight on its hands amid wings of the Republican party that are extremely anti-Semitic or flirting with anti-Semitism. And Republicans on the other side of the party who are saying, hold on, what are you doing? This is not - this is ripping us apart.(...) More egregiously, she minimized the anti-Semitism seen on the left in the Democratic Party:  (...) Democrats are having a fight on that as well, but it's been pretty pronounced within the Republican Party. While it has become clear that there is a loud minority of anti-Semitism on the right, that are actively promoted by left-wing outlets, there is a striking denialism of the existence of left-wing anti-Semitism under the guise of “free Palestine,” but if Tur wanted to connect the shooting to Iran, why would she make a big deal about Republicans? For his part, Hayes would go on to talk about "groypers” and the “Nazi adjacent part of the [Republican] Party.” It is clear that Tur and Hayes pre-determined their conclusion on who they wanted the shooter to be as Tur ended her segment with, “History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme. Right? Yeah. Chris Hayes, thank you so much. Really good to have you.” The transcript is below.

Democrats are having a fight on that as well, but it's been pretty pronounced within the Republican party. CHRIS HAYES: Yeah. I mean, I think. TUR: There’s Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson along. HAYES: Yes. I mean, there's a bunch of different axes and it gets very sort of difficult to disentangle them. I mean, there's, you know, there is a rising sort of avowedly white nationalist, you know, groyper, Nazi adjacent part of the party that is sort of ordering, increasingly, I think, ordering its politics around, not just criticism of the Israeli government, but a view of Israel as the single most powerful world actor, and as Jews as the single most powerful world actor, and as Jews manipulating America to prey upon it.  And these are, of course, the oldest anti-Semitic tropes. And you have someone like, you know, Nick Fuentes, who went on Tucker's show and someone that was - worked with him is going to be part of the College Republicans now at the national level. Like it's not that far. Michelle Goldberg's got a great column in the New York Times today about Florida candidate who's sort of drawing on that energy. And it, you know, it remains, I think, a kind of fringe tendency, but it's getting larger. TUR: History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme. Right? Yeah. Chris Hayes, thank you so much. Really good to have you. (...)

Comedian Sheryl Underwood was passing through ABC’s The View this week as she took a break from her “I Need a Job” tour. And given her outrageous and unhinged comments most of the week, she certainly seemed like she was fishing for a job on the show. In a Wednesday appearance on the show’s Behind the Table podcast, Underwood grotesquely suggested President Trump was squandering the second chance at life God gave him after the failed assassination attempt that saw him shot in the head. She also admitted that she’s actually more of a Democrat than the “Republican” she’s pitched as. Amid a conversation with The View executive producer and podcast host Brian Teta about the different kinds of Republicans they’ve had on to fill in, Underwood said that she saw it as important for her to be an anti-Trump voice in the party and equated herself to those who told President Nixon to resign. “If those men had not went to Nixon and said, ‘we're not gonna back you,’ okay, he would have still been in office. You have to give the leaders some guardrails,” she argued. Underwood went on to suggest that Trump hadn’t learned anything from the assassination attempt and had not become a better person, squandering the second chance God gave him: And you would think that if Trump having the situation that he had, wouldn't that touch your heart and make you a better person? God has let you live. Lead better, don't dig into your troublesome side. Let me say that. Don't dig into that, don't dig your heels into that. Become a better leader. You know, and look at the other presidents who may have been doing something crazy. And then they thought, ‘I gotta change. I gotta be a better leader.’ You're the leader of the free world. Live up to that.   Underwood invokes the assassination attempt against President Trump and says he's squandering the second chance God gave him: TETA We've had people on the show that have been big fans of the President. Now you, a longtime Republican, you've been speaking out against what you… pic.twitter.com/nA78WlcaO3 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 12, 2026   She immediately followed that up by saying Trump had made “comedy more lucrative because he does crazy stuff all the time that we can joke about.” If you’re wondering how a “Republican” could say something like that, well, it’s because Underwood was more a Democrat. She even admitted to it during the podcast: UNDERWOOD: But also, I think with my political point of view, I'm probably really a blue dog Democrat. BRIAN TETA: Okay. UNDERWOOD: Born in the South, grew up in the Midwest. I'm probably a blue dog Democrat, but I'm a registered Republican, and I believe I'm the person that need to be in the Republican Party going, ‘who decided we can do this? We are going to lose. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.’   Sheryl Underwood, who The View has as a "Republican" guest host, admits she's more of a Democrat. She also says that Republicans have to become more woke and compares modern wokeness to when Republicans outlawed slavery: UNDERWOOD: But also, I think with my political point of… pic.twitter.com/WN0lVYCIgQ — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 12, 2026   She went on to demand that the party become more “woke,” and equate modern wokeness to when Republicans outlawed slavery: But there used to be a time, I'm like an Arthur Fletcher, he's the father of affirmative action. He's the one that brought affirmative action to Nixon. I'm like a Senator Edward Brooks. I'm like a, you know, Dr. King. I'm like when Republicanism was different. When you hear people say, ‘oh, don't be woke.’ Well, the Republican Party was woke, when it battled against slavery, it was woke when it championed women's rights. That's when we were woke in a good way. Further along in the podcast, Underwood seemed to allude to allegations that she had misrepresented her military service earlier in the week when using it as a cudgel to denounce the strike on Iran. The allegations pointed to inconsistencies with her claims that she took part in the First Gulf War, but the Department of War webpage highlighting her service made no mention of it. In her defense of herself, Underwood argued that one didn’t need to be deployed in theater to take part in an operation: UNDERWOOD: And for people that say, ‘well, she didn't do this, she do that.’ One thing I want people to know, it's a name of something. Because what's this thing that they - what did they name it now? Hegseth, what did they call it? Something Epic Fury. TETA: Epic Fury. Operation: Epic Fury. UNDERWOOD: Okay, when it's called Operation This, This, it doesn't mean you go to that location. It means you're under that thing, right? So, for me being under that thing.   Seemingly addressing allegations that she misrepresented her military record on The View, claiming she took part in the First Gulf War despite a lack of evidence and she was out by the time the war started, Underwood pushes back: UNDERWOOD: And for people that say, ‘well, she… pic.twitter.com/cQwazohEgj — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 12, 2026   True. But again, the only operations the DoW webpage (published in 2022) noted she took part in were “in support of several exercises that included two Exercise Reforgers [sic] in West Germany and Team Spirit in South Korea.” There was nothing that even suggested she was aiding the First Gulf War from back home or elsewhere.

TETA: - but there's nuance to all this. UNDERWOOD: Absolutely. TETA: We've had all these Republican guest hosts while Alyssa’s out on maternity leave. And the reaction from the audience has been so different because, you know, they’re used to Alyssa, who feels a certain way about the President. We've had people on the show that have been big fans of the President. Now you, a longtime Republican, you've been speaking out against what you think are mistakes that they're going on right now. UNDERWOOD: Absolutely, he should be - I - I - Listen. I - Once you become the president, then I will back your play. But I think we have a right as Americans to say to our leaders, ‘you're wrong. And I can't wait to get to the ballot box to tell you you're wrong. I have to tell you you're wrong now.’ If those men had not went to Nixon and said, ‘we're not gonna back you,’ okay, he would have still been in office. You have to give the leaders some guardrails. And you would think that if Trump having the situation that he had, wouldn't that touch your heart and make you a better person? God has let you live. Lead better, don't dig into your troublesome side. Let me say that. Don't dig into that, don't dig your heels into that. Become a better leader.

Live up to that. TETA: Judd Apatow recently said that Trump has made comedy harder because things feel so serious now. What's your take on this? Is the political climate changed comedy for you at all or the way you approach it? UNDERWOOD: No, I think I think really, we're talking about specifically President Trump? TETA: I think that he was, yes. UNDERWOOD: I think he made comedy more lucrative because he does crazy stuff all the time that we can joke about. (…) 11:38 TETA: You’ve been great this week is you've been able to share your perspective on what's happening in Iran, and it was interesting to hear from you because you served. UNDERWOOD: Yes. TETAL You were in the Air Force Reserve. UNDERWOOD: Yes. TETA: How has service shaped the way you look at something like this? UNDERWOOD: You know, I saw pictures of my dad and his brothers in their Army uniform. My mother married a man who was stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. And that's how we got to Castle Air Force Base. And then I went into the Reserve. I met my husband, he was active duty. And I went into the Reserve a little bit after that. He proposed a Maxwell Air Force Base. I went in at Travis Air Force Base. And for people that say, ‘well, she didn't do this, she do that.’ One thing I want people to know, it's a name of something. Because what's this thing that they - what did they name it now? Hegseth, what did they call it? Something Epic Fury. TETA: Epic Fury. Operation: Epic Fury. UNDERWOOD: Okay, when it's called Operation This, This, it doesn't mean you go to that location. It means you're under that thing, right? So, for me being under that thing. I always wanted to serve my country. And that's also where I found that I could entertain. I went in thinking if I wanted to be part of MWR, as morale, welfare and recreation. Morale, welfare, recreation. And I thought I would be able to transfer from a medic to doing that. What I learned is the troops need us. They need to get mail. They need to get good thoughts from us. They may not agree with the mission, but they put their hand up to uphold the Constitution. So, for me, what I loved about being of service in the various ways that I served, it shapes your life. 'Cause you meet people from other places, and you have to depend on somebody you don't know, or don't agree with how they believe, but you got to come together for everybody to come home. (…)
