CBS broke the seal on an important cultural story that had been buried by the Elitist Media Evening News: Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham’s public stance against men in women’s sports. The recent suspension of a WNBA owner for berating two young fans compelled coverage, but only CBS stepped forth.Watch the report in its entirety as aired on the CBS Evening News on Thursday, July 29th, 2026: WATCH: @CBSEveningNews covers the suspension of the Seattle Storm co-owner for yelling at young Sophie Cunningham fans wearing XY gear.

Cunningham's views helped build her fan base, but now a WNBA team co-owner is in trouble for confronting some of those very fans. CBS’s Jan Crawford reports.ANNOUNCER: Up the floor. Cunningham! Paint it!CRAWFORD: At Tuesday night's WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Seattle Storm, the focus was on the sidelines. Two teens holding signs thanking Fever guard Sophie Cunningham for speaking up for girls and wearing t-shirts made by a company that advocates for same-sex sports. They were confronted by a Storm co-owner.YOUNG FAN: Yeah, and she's like, “I hope Jesus can forgive you for what sin you’ve done” and like, something like that, and then she told us we were acting effing insane.CRAWFORD: The WNBA fined and suspended the co-owner, Celeste Keaton, five games. The team said it respected the league's decision and the team's majority owner apologized. Cunningham, known for fearlessly defending teammate Caitlin Clark on the court, is the first active professional female athlete to speak out against transgender females in women's sports. In an ESPN profile earlier this month, Cunningham says girls in sports shouldn't have to go against biological men.SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM: I said what I said. I think it's kind of common sense. And I think I'll always believe in that.CRAWFORD: When asked if her words could be seen as anti-transgender, she said...CUNNINGHAM: I have never once said I hated the trans community. Like I said, I think there's space for everyone.CRAWFORD: Before the game, Storm player Stephanie Dolson made her feelings clear with a t-shirt saying "Trans rights are human rights." Outside the arena, Cunningham supporters like advocate Julie Lane said they hope the moment is a turning point.JULIE LANE: So we’re not stopping. We really hope that other people will join in and just say what’s out- say out loud what is common sense, just like Sophie did.CRAWFORD: They plan another rally before the Fever's next game in Portland. Jan Crawford, CBS News, Washington.The two teen Sophie Cunningham fans that were berated at the game by the Storm co-owner and other rabid leftists were wearing XX-XY apparel. As a quick refresher: XX-XY was founded by former Levi Strauss executive Jennifer Sey. Their mission is quite clear:We are unapologetic about our goal. We are here to protect women’s sports and spaces.Women deserve the opportunities that sports and single sex spaces provide. Sex matters. It is the single biggest determinant of athletic performance. It is unfair and dangerous to allow males (XY) to compete in girls and women’s (XX) sports.For women to compete safely and fairly, women’s sports need to remain female. We’ll be here defending truth. And women and girls. Until that happens.The report pretty much covered everything, including the co-owner's suspension, Cunningham's advocacy for women's sports and defense of teammate Caitlin Clark. Crawford subsequently mentioned a Storm player wearing a “trans rights are human rights” shirt, perhaps in the interest of balancing out the report. I’d suggest that the report itself is balance after years of the Elitist Media looking the other way as men pretending to be women invaded women’s athletic spaces (and bathrooms, and locker rooms, and spas, et cetera…). As we reexamine the Covid Era, we can't forget the role of the media in propagating the woke mind virus- including the trans strain. Did the change in ownership turn CBS News into Newsmax on 57th Street, as the Media Hall Monitors would have you believe? Of course not. But this story would not have seen the light of day otherwise. And for that, credit where credit is due. Here’s hoping that the other networks can find some of that courage as well.

The CBS Evening News eclipsed the rest of the Elitist Media Evening News by casting light on a viral but uncomfortable story: the illegal migrant invasion of Ceuta, Spain via its border with Morocco. ABC, NBC, and PBS refused to cover Ceuta on their evening newscasts.Here is that report in its entirety, as aired on CBS Evening News on Thursday, July 29th, 2026: WATCH: @CBSEveningNews was the sole broadcast network evening newscast to mention the illegal migrant invasion of Ceuta, Spain via its border with Morocco. Led off the newscast, even.MATT GUTMAN: We begin tonight with a rapidly escalating emergency overseas.

A migrant crisis unfolding in North Africa turned deadly today, where thousands of men along with some women and children streaming on foot and by sea across the border into the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta. Tonight, troops helping overwhelmed police control what’s being called a humanitarian emergency. Military divers deployed to search for bodies in the water. This is the area we are talking about. The closest point between Europe and Africa. The path to this part of Spain is a short one for migrants from Morocco hoping to eventually reach the rest of Europe. But it has-Authorities are reporting nine dead tonight after thousands of migrants flooded a tiny Spanish enclave earlier today. Authorities were overwhelmed by sea and land, so many people that Spain had to mobilize its military. Officials say as many as 3000 migrants streamed in from Morocco into the tiny city of Ceuta in north Africa. A sea of people using inner tubes, flippers come and wetsuits, going around or even through that border fence. Some of them struggling in the water, hauled in by Spanish authorities. Spanish reporters right there on the scene. Officials say the city is now at a breaking point. Services are overwhelmed, and people are sleeping in the street. It's become one of Spain's largest border crises, possibly spurred by a recent Spanish Supreme Court decision ruling that migrants who arrived by sea cannot be sent back without due process. And it's not the first time this has happened. In 2021, more than 8000 people entered Ceuta in just two days. Now this has also touched on Europe's rawest political nerve: immigration and who is allowed to enter Europe and who is allowed to stay.In this instance, CBS won by virtue of showing up. ABC couldn’t find time to cover Ceuta but did run the usual nonlethal aviation mishap story and closed out with corporate slop: Ben Affleck getting carried by some Jeopardy! champion on Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. NBC did do a Europe story on its A-block- George and Amal Clooney fleeing their French mansion due to the ongoing wildfires. No one else had the guts to cover Ceuta (and now Melilla, as well).This isn’t to say that the item was flawless. Missing from the story is the particular set of incentives that drives North African migration into Spain. Per the Spanish government, in January: The Council of Ministers has authorised the urgent processing of a royal decree to carry out an extraordinary regularisation process for foreign nationals already in Spain. The aim is to offer this group the opportunity "to live with equal rights," as well as to respond to "a reality that exists on our streets and has an impact on coexistence, well-being, and the economy", explained the Minister for Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration and Government Spokesperson, Elma Saiz.  The plan called for full legalization of 500,000 illegal immigrants. France24 reports that there are now 1.2 million applications for legal status stuffed into the pipeline. The Spanish government, led by socialist Pedro Sánchez, has certainly created a perverse set of incentives for migrants thinking about jumping the fence at Ceuta or Melilla. In case that wasn’t clear enough, here is MEP Irene Montero openly hoping for replacement immigration in order to “sweep the fascists and racists” out of the country. Periodic reminder that replacement immigration is a preferred outcome for Spain's socialists. Ceuta and Melilla are a feature, not a bug. pic.twitter.com/bIle0hrBMr— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 31, 2026 The more we know, the more the Ceuta invasion resembles our own border just four years ago. The same perverse incentives were in place, driven by a government that wanted to dramatically change the composition of the country via mass migration and subsequent amnesty. The Elitist Media were reluctant to look at the story until it became unavoidable. Credit to CBS for not looking away this time. Shame on everyone else.

CBS announced a new spate of 60 Minutes correspondents – including Sebastian Junger, Gianna Toboni and Trevor Phillips – but the left-wingers obsessed over New York Times columnist Ross Douthat. The Daily Beast screeched: “Right-Wing Religious Zealot Unveiled as New Star of ‘60 Minutes’.”Poynter.com media reporter Tom Jones was a little milder under the headline deck: ‘60 Minutes’ makes big hires, including one that will raise eyebrowsThe hiring of conservative columnist Ross Douthat is likely to fuel concerns that CBS News is steering the storied newsmagazine to the rightJones began: Some are calling it a coup — an inspired, out-of-the-box great hire meant to shake life into a long-running news show.Others are saying it’s a bizarre, risky hire — of someone with no real TV experience — and just further proof of a network desperately pushing to the right, even if it means remodeling a show that was already perfectly built.That phrasing is comical -- any tilt to the right is "desperate," and the relentless leftist bias is "perfectly built." Just like Bari Weiss, the liberals throw "no real TV experience" -- as if the newbie won't be surrounded by veteran TV producers. Let's guess if CBS recruited Trump-loathing columnist David French instead, they wouldn't sweat the experience thing.In the announcement, new executive producer Nick Bilton played up Douthat's podcast at the Times: “A Ross interview—and he’s interviewed on camera Vice President Vance, Dario Amodei, Amy Coney Barrett, Hasan Piker and Ben Sasse among others—is a special conversation, expansive and probing and news-making.“ Then there's the biggest Bari Weiss-haters on the internet, the team at Status.com. They turned to anonymous sources to trash the Douthat pick: “The idea that Ross can be a ‘60’ correspondent is a joke,” one longtime television executive texted me shortly after learning the news. Another anonymous source (or is it the same source? After all, they're still anonymous) slammed the whole slate of new correspondent: “Mike Wallace, Diane Sawyer, Ed Bradley, and Scott Pelley—and now these people? They never would have been considered for the actual ‘60 Minutes,’” one industry veteran candidly told Status. Another longtime television news veteran added: “These are the most coveted on-air jobs in TV news. These people do not have the track records on the air or the public profiles or followings to move the needle. Nor do they have the relevant experience doing this particular thing—a 10-12 minute segment—which is a particular craft that has always represented the pinnacle of TV news.” Here again, the relentless leftist bias -- both blistering profiles of Republicans and prostrate tongue baths of Democrats -- is the "pinnacle of TV news." But these same sourpusses could have mocked Jon Wertheim when he came aboard: "They picked a tennis commentator? He's no Scott Pelley!"Team Status concluded with another anonymous genius: That track record does not inspire much confidence for 60 Minutes. As one television executive commented to me, “Her overhaul of CBS Mornings and Evening News have done nothing but drive the ratings down to historic lows, so there is little hope these 60 Minutes changes will do anything but the same.” It should be pointed out that the CBS morning and evening news shows were both in third place before Weiss. By contrast, the last season of 60 Minutes -- and Weiss joined the network last October -- had an average weekly audience of 9.1 million viewers last season, a nine percent increase year-over-year. But in the eyes of the Left, the show is for lefties, so if ratings dip, it's because it's because CBS "desperately" went right.We just keep pointing out: anyone watching CBS News programs can not see any significant, systemic lurch to the right -- despite a few exceptions to the norm.

CNN Erin Burnett OutFront on Snapstream Last week, New Jersey Democrat Governor Mikie Sherill announced that her administration had found 6,600 non-citizens registered to vote due to a “software error,” with 400 casting illegal ballots. The bombshell revelation should have increased support for the SAVE Act, but the liberal media instead downplayed its significance. On Tuesday, Sherrill refused to give the names of the illegally registered voters to the DOJ, and CNN’s Erin Burnett on OutFront rushed to her defense.The real problem with the illegally registered voters in New Jersey, Burnett argued, was that people noticed it was happening. It was “one of the worst headlines,” she said, but “maybe the headline should be ‘Hey, they caught it. They fixed it,” instead of “Oh wow, that’s bad.”  Burnett also implied praise for Sherrill “refusing to hand over those 6,600 names to the Department of Justice. She's saying, 'no, that's a violation of privacy laws and state laws.'” “The president will try to be punitive about it,” Jamal Simmons, Kamala Harris’s former communications director, said to Burnett. “He will look for ways to apply pressure to the governor of New Jersey to get her to hand it over.”And then, as they always do, he spun the story into an argument against passing the SAVE Act:One thing that's very nerve-wracking about the SAVE Act, about all of this is as if the president is trying to create a national voter registration list, a national list of Americans.  But Simmons also tried to appeal to conservative Americans, the vast majority of whom support requiring I.D. to vote:I think Americans, conservative Americans in particular, have really pushed back on anything like this for generations. . . states’ rights, and the idea of a national ID, a national registry that all of us will be on, and the President of the United States can choose to allow people to vote or not allow people to vote.Federal auditing of the voter rolls will not give the president the power to decide who votes and who doesn’t. It is still up to the states to run and declare elections. The Democrats and the liberal media can’t have it both ways. If you want to talk about how great it is that a Democratic governor cracked down on fraud, first you have to acknowledge that the fraud took place. And the Republicans have been blowing the whistle on this type of fraud for a long time, but the Democrats still don’t want to admit it's happening.The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read:CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront7/28/267:15:24 p.m. EasternERIN BURNETT: Jamal, one of the worst headlines on all of this has been what came out of New Jersey a few days ago that there were - against people [who] went to get their driver's license. They said they weren't citizens. And so, they checked that box and then they got added to the voter rolls anyway. JAMAL SIMMONS: Yeah.BURNETT: That's the kind of headline where, maybe the headline should be, 'hey, they caught it. They fixed it. They're taking care of it and should be.' SIMMONS: True.BURNETT: But there's also the headline of 'oh wow, that's bad. And is there more of that?' Right, in the context that we're in now, that those seeds can fall on fertile ground? So now the New Jersey governor, Governor Mikie Sherrill, she's refusing to hand over those 6,600 names to the Department of Justice. She's saying, 'no, that's a violation of privacy laws and state laws.' Do you think she will prevail? And what do you think's going on here as to why the Trump administration wants those names when New Jersey is saying 'we went through and are taking them off the rolls, we are taking care of the problem.'SIMMONS: Yeah. There will be a fight about it, and we know the president will try to be punitive about it. He will look for ways to apply pressure to the governor of New Jersey to get her to hand it over. One thing that's very nerve-wracking about the SAVE Act, about all of this is as if the president is trying to create a national voter registration list, a national list of Americans. And I think Americans, conservative Americans in particular, have really pushed back on anything like this for generations. BURNETT: Right. States' rights, right--SIMMONS: And now they've got a Republican president who's trying to--BURNETT: I mean, states rights, states run elections--SIMMONS: --states rights, and the idea of a national ID, a national registry--BURNETT: Yeah.SIMMONS: --that all of us will be on, and the President of the United States can choose to allow people to vote or not allow people to vote, to get mail-in ballots or not get mail-in ballots, because that's part of the deal that the postal service will only deliver to people who are on the national registry. This is really concerning for everyone who worries about having a functioning democracy.BURNETT: Well, as you point out, it's not a Democrat thing. It's actually a conservative thing, right? I mean, it's states' rights at its core, federalism.

NewsNation via SnapStream When Chris Cuomo was still with CNN and purportedly had COVID, he would call Dr. Anthony Fauci nightly and they’re still buds to this day. So, it was no surprise that Cuomo would take up a ridiculous position to defend his friend from accountability for his harmful lies and deceit of the American people. According to the NewsNation host on his eponymous Wednesday night show, Republicans who were trying to hold Fauci to account were actually trying to shift blame from China to America for creating COVID-19.After tacitly admitting that Fauci likely was in contempt of Congress for inappropriately pleading the Fifth Amendment to literally every question including the innocuous ones, Cuomo suggested that if Republicans were serious about getting answers to their questions, they should offer his good friend “immunity” instead:Is finding him in contempt of Congress. Is that going to make Fauci speak? I doubt it. And we all know was answers anyway. If they really think Tony Fauci can answer some of the vexing real questions about the pandemic, why don't they give him immunity? My suggestion is they're not even talking about that because this is about finding a fall guy as much as anything else. Cuomo used to be one the loudest voices on CNN at the time denouncing the Wuhan lab leak theory and even scoffed at the idea that it came from China at all, arguing, “it could have come from anywhere.” Chris Cuomo suggests that Republican animus toward Fauci and focus on his NIH funding gain-of-function research is about saying "America cause the [COVID] pandemic" and not China.He says Republicans should be giving Fauci immunity and not holding him in contempt:"Is finding… pic.twitter.com/QC6Zh4JA5v— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 30, 2026 Since his buddy was on the line, Cuomo was now for the lab leak theory and insisted that Fauci was being made the “fall guy” by Republicans, who he suggested were trying to blame America for the COVID since his National Institute of Health was funneling money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.“Otherwise, why insist that America funded the virus?” he declared. “This is not about the definition of gain of function. That's about whether or not America caused the pandemic. Have you ever seen proof that what America funded could have even possibly lead to COVID-19. They certainly didn't point to any today.” The NewsNation host then tried to pivot to suggesting Republicans were using Fauci to deflect and distract from more important and substantive finger pointing:Seems to me there is as much or more cause to point to China. Why didn't they cooperate? I won't they cooperate now. Why did they shut things down? Why did they remove things? Why don't any lawmakers target them if this is about truth and whether it came from the lab, which, of course, seems likely now?Fredo, it’s probably because the American Senate had no authority to demand anything from a foreign government. Cuomo suggests to Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) that anyone trying to hold Fauci accountable for his NIH funding China's gain-of-function research with coronaviruses is actually claiming "America created COVID-19" and not China:CUOMO: Here's what I don't get Senator.

It didn't discourage the President from calling it the China virus, right? And he made plenty of suggestions. And the right was fine with that. What I don't get is why have regret about whether or not it came from the lab when you don't know what that even means. Who made it in the lab? Do you have any reason to believe that anything that America funded on Fauci's watch or otherwise couldn't even possibly lead to it? Have you ever heard anybody ask any questions in any of these hearings about what China was doing?Seemly thinking he found a good gothcha line of attack, Cuomo questioned why Trump was calling it the “China Virus” and not the “‘America virus' or the 'Fauci virus.’”“So obviously, their curiosity was, are we shielding China? But now it's apparently to me unless I missed it today, they seem to think that America created COVID-19,” he said, twisting the premise of the theory and the hearing. Cuomo proclaims "it makes no sense to me" to hold Fauci accountable for anything dealing with COVID. He even argues that Fauci's is "guilty of hubris" but it's no big deal because he was in a room full of senators where were guilty of the same:"If you're about accountability, I… pic.twitter.com/ljrGStPyA5— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 30, 2026 An absolutely ridiculous premise by Fredo.The hearing with Fauci was about getting him on the record about how he was making certain harmful recommendations and claims publicly while holding contradictory positions in private, as shown in his diary. Additionally, it was about how he was lying about his NIH funneling money to the WIV where they were known to be working with COVID.Holding Fauci to account for his parts doesn’t wash China’s hands of being the origin point of the pandemic. And since there likely wouldn’t be any accountability from or against China, there needed to accountability somewhere along the chain.But what else did we expect from Cuomo, the man to faked leaving his basement quarantine when he was already caught running around long island.The transcript is below.
