MRC Watchdogs churn out breaking news on a daily basis. Don't miss Today's Highlights, where you can keep up with the top MRC content, whether it's the latest study on media bias, a glaring omission from the elitist media, or how the Big Tech companies are serving up the same leftist spin as the media.  Top Stories: POLITICO Poll Shows Strong Support for Key Elements of SAVE America Act WIKI-BIAS EXPOSED: Wikipedia Editors Scramble to Bury SPLC Indictment Nicolle Wallace: Trump Turned Rubio Into a 'Jackass,' 'Loser' Despite Praise for His Briefing ABC, CBS Censor Trump Admin Win in Minn; NBC Airs Just 125 Seconds     POLITICO Poll Shows Strong Support for Key Elements of SAVE America Act A recent survey conducted by Public First shows that U.S. adults support requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote by a three to one margin.  Most respondents backed stricter photo identification requirements at polling stations that specifically demonstrate citizenship rather than just identity.  Nearly half of those surveyed support requiring states to more aggressively remove names from voter rolls if citizenship status cannot be confirmed.  The poll results contradict media narratives by showing that only five percent of adults lack access to the various forms of identification listed. WIKI-BIAS EXPOSED: Wikipedia Editors Scramble to Bury SPLC Indictment Wikipedia editors reportedly worked to downplay a grand jury indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center by burying the news deep within the organization's entry.  The 11 count indictment involving wire fraud and money laundering was placed in the 65th paragraph of the page rather than the introductory section.  Researchers found that Wikipedia consistently elevates legal investigations against right of center organizations while silencing similar critiques of left wing groups.  Editors also blocked attempts to update the reliability rating of the SPLC despite accusations that the group defrauded donors and funded extremist organizers. Nicolle Wallace: Trump Turned Rubio Into a 'Jackass,' 'Loser' Despite Praise for His Briefing Secretary of State Marco Rubio received widespread praise for a high energy White House briefing where he handled complex policy questions in multiple languages.  MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace mocked the performance by claiming the President rendered Rubio a fool by adjusting policy shortly after the briefing.  Analyst Tim Miller joined the criticism by using personal insults and dismissing the possibility of Rubio becoming a future leader within the political movement.  The segment highlighted a sharp divide between the professional reception of the briefing and the hostile commentary provided by liberal media outlets. ABC, CBS Censor Trump Admin Win in Minn; NBC Airs Just 125 Seconds On April 28, federal authorities swept through over 20 locations in Minneapolis as part of a fraud investigation into charities – including the infamous Quality Learing [sic] Center – that were largely owned by Somalis who stand accused of ripping off the state of Minnesota.  So, how much time did the broadcast (ABC, CBS, NBC) evening news shows devote to this big win for the citizens of Minnesota? Just 125 seconds.  MRC analysts looked at the week (April 28 - May 5) of coverage since the April 28 raid and found just 2 minutes, 5 seconds (all of it in one segment on the April 28 edition of NBC’s Nightly News) was devoted to the effort to shut down the Somali scams.   ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News have yet to air a second on the raids.   The almost complete silence is probably because the networks don’t EVER want to grant the Trump administration a win.

Leftists in the media cannot stand the idea that Team Trump is coming to the defense of white males at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). They believe white males should never file a complaint, given their centuries of massive white male privilege. Last week, The New York Times reported scornfully on how discrimination claims by white men and Jews are “Discrimination Cases That Match Trump’s Agenda,” according to their headline. In their view, the EEOC should always match the leftist agenda. It’s supposed to be a captive agency of the Left under every administration. This week, the EEOC sued The Times for discrimination against a white male employee who applied for a deputy real estate editor position. Despite experience in real-estate journalism, he was excluded from the final pool of candidates, which was composed of a white female, a black male, an Asian female, and a multiracial female. The multiracial female won the job, despite a lack of experience in real-estate journalism. The lawsuit argues the hiring manager at The Times greenlit this external candidate for inclusion in the final interview panel without her first going through the standard interview processes for the position. Moreover, she was chosen despite the company’s own final interview panel rating her less favorably than two other final candidates. Times spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades Ha claimed the suit was “meritless” and the administration is “blatantly weaponizing a traditionally independent government body to serve a predetermined narrative.” When they say “independent,” they mean liberal. The “predetermined narrative” in this case is exposing the newspaper’s own publicly stated racial and gender quotas. But here’s the really fun part. Charlotte Klein at New York magazine lined up angry anonymous sources inside the paper hunting for this anonymous dissident. Turnabout is fair play, but now the aggressive weaponizers of anonymous sources can’t stand their own game in reverse. Klein relayed: “Reporters at the paper have been scrambling to figure out the employee’s identity, driven in part by bafflement that one of their own colleagues would sell out the paper to the administration, which has used tools of the federal government to attack the press.” Another staffer complained it’s a “[poop]show behind the scenes — people trying to figure out who the aggrieved person is.” Every day in many ways, The New York Times is using anonymous warriors to attack the administration, and apparently they shouldn’t have to face their own tactics. One anonymous reporter complained “You’re giving the Trump administration a weapon while they’re trying to persecute journalists.” Attack them and they’re “persecuted.” When they attack you, it’s Journalism. Inevitably, an anonymous jerk had to proclaim it “absurd” that a white male has filed a discrimination complaint. “I’m sorry, there are plenty of white guys at the top of the New York Times. Not really something that’s holding you back.” That’s wrong. That perception – that there are too many white guys editing the paper – is what creates “affirmative” discrimination. This controversy at The Times underlines what we all know – that the words “diversity,” “equity,” and  “inclusion” are devoid of all meaning when deployed by the Left. They can’t stand diverse viewpoints, they don’t want them included, and “equity” is a code word for creating a new policy where white men get exactly the reverse discrimination they deserve for about 400 years.

Today, the Tennessee House passed a redrawn congressional map that responds to aggressive liberal gerrymanders in California and Virginia, and wipes out the state’s lone Democrat seat. This vote drew heated reactions, including a deranged Rep. Justin Pearson exploding at law enforcement. However, the Elitist Media chose to protect him from any scrutiny. Pearson, presumably angry after having his challenge to incumbent Rep. Steve Cohen vaporized, screamed at a Tennessee State Trooper there to protect him:

The Democrats are fighting among themselves, and it's the "establishment" versus the fringe. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has upset the red-hot extremists by making primary endorsements, which is controversial no matter which party does it. In their book, the "centrist" Democrats are represented by the Biden forces, as if Team Biden wasn't aggressively progressive in office. But the media can't find an actual extreme on their side, so they just find "outsiders" and endorse the notion that "voters want fighters." What you get is candidates who want to turn up the anti-Trump volume to 11 and impeach everyone they can among Trump and his cabinet members. They want to put Republicans in jail and pack the Supreme Court.  NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and longtime contributing writer Mark Finkelstein join the show to assess the midterm situation.  Since the media's objective seems to be making Democrats as electable as possible, it leads them to make excuses for candidates who have a Nazi tattoo, for example. In Maine, Graham Platner forced Gov. Janet Mills out of the Senate race by dominating her in the polls and in fundraising.  In addition to that, the Supreme Court decision against racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act was portrayed by journalist and Democrat alike as a massive step backward. On MS NOW, contributors and guests suggested the "racist fascist" conservatives were returning America to Jim Crow times, and comparing the justices to those who ruled against blacks being citizens in the Dred Scott decision in 1857. On The View, Whoopi Goldberg pretended nothing has changed since 1965, and blacks are still having dogs sicced on them and they're dragged away from polling places.  In addition, we discussed how the networks mostly refused to notice the federal raids against fraudsters in Minnesota, since that would make Democrats look bad. Only NBC gave it two minutes, while ABC, CBS, and NPR skipped it. Enjoy the show below.
