Northern Ireland has exploded after the heinous attempted beheading of a local man by a migrant of Sudanese origin. Riots, which some may describe as fiery and mostly peaceful, have broken out. And with the exception of NBC, the Elitist Media Evening News have largely avoided the story. Watch the report in its entirety, as aired on NBC Nightly News: WATCH: @NBCNightlyNews is the first of the Big Three network evening newscasts to report on the rioting in Belfast after the brutal attempted beheading of a local resident by a Sudanese migrant TOM LLAMAS: We want to take you overseas now to Northern Ireland, where it's getting… pic.twitter.com/CUkVadrplM — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) June 11, 2026 NBC NIGHTLY NEWS 6/10/26 6:43 PM TOM LLAMAS: We want to take you overseas now to Northern Ireland, where it's getting very violent. As rioters crashed with police in Belfast, outraged by a brutal knife attack there allegedly committed by an immigrant. Keir Simmons has more. KEIR SIMMONS: Tonight, police firing water cannons against rioters as they threw projectiles back. A new evening of more violence exploding in Northern Ireland. Protesters building a blockade, homes and vehicles set on fire this week. Here, a bus ablaze in Belfast. BELFAST RESIDENT: Just violence upon violence. BELFAST RESIDENT: My neighbor's house was set on fire. SIMMONS: Families forced to evacuate to safety as flames ravaged their street. Violence erupting in parts of Northern Ireland after a knife attack that left the victim with multiple injuries, including losing an eye. Video of the stabbing shared online. The blurring was not added by NBC News. The man under arrest, originally from Sudan, claimed asylum in the UK in 2023, according to police in Belfast.  The attack comes amid escalating tension over immigration across Europe. Elon Musk writing on X this week: “Only by protesting REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY will there be any change.” And the Prime Minister urging politicians not to fuel the unrest. KEIR STARMER: Nobody who is a politician should be whipping up division and hatred. SIMMONS: The devastated victim’s family issuing a statement, saying in part: “Peaceful protest is the only way forward.” Keir Simmons, NBC News. The protests are not limited to Northern Ireland. There have been protests and road closures throughout the United Kingdom. These protests are in opposition to an out-of-control immigration policy that has allowed hundreds of thousands if not millions of migrants to stream into the country from all over the world. And these policies have extracted a brutal social cost. Credit to NBC for reporting the story down the middle, more or less. Or, compared to ABC and CBS, for reporting it at all. ABC and CBS could not find the time to report on massive protests against open-borders policy and its devastating effects on society.  CBS and ABC went with Bill Gates getting grilled on The Hill over his Epstein ties, a Nantucket man who caught a shark, and Europeans discovering America for the World Cup. As always, what doesn’t make it to the evening news is usually more important than what does.

The NBA Finals continue tonight in New York City minus the customary watch party outside Madison Square Garden, a highly controversial decision announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Corporate partner ABC omitted that detail from its NBA Finals preview on World News Tonight, choosing instead to do a gauzy preview that seemed more befitting of celebrity coverage.   Watch the brief in its entirety as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Wednesday, June 10th, 2026: Watch @ABCWorldNews preview of NBA Finals Game 4: zero mention of Mamdani practically shutting down the MSG watch parties pic.twitter.com/54aP93ytCU — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) June 10, 2026 LINSEY DAVIS: Here in New York City tonight, the high-stakes battle- Game Four of the NBA finals between the Spurs and Knicks. San Antonio with a chance to tie the finals at two games apiece, the Knicks and their fans with a score to settle. ABC's Rhiannon Ally is at Madison Square Garden. I'm sure it is electric out there, Rhiannon. RHIANNON ALLY: Linsey, the stakes for Game Four couldn't be any higher here at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks hold a narrow 2 to 1 series lead, but the momentum might be shifting after Victor Wembanyama and the young Spurs core stole Game Three, but everyone here in New York is still talking about this missed call early in Game Three, a play that left the Garden fuming and added even more edge to the series. All eyes will be back on Jalen Brunson to see how the Knicks will respond to protect home court. Either way, this series will head back to San Antonio after tonight, both teams looking to take the momentum with them and Game Four tips off right here at the Mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden, at 8:30 Eastern right here on ABC. Linsey? DAVIS: Looking forward to that, Rhiannon. Thank you. The cancellation of the watch party was public knowledge, announced well in advance. Per ABC 7 (NYC): The decision to cancel came after MSG and its owner accused the mayor and the NYPD of turning the neighborhood into a "police state" and insisted that fans should be allowed to gather outside the arena, unrestricted.  "We want to encourage every New Yorker to celebrate in this moment, to do so responsibly and to be looking out for one another through it all," Mamdani said. "The Knicks never agreed to what the city proposed," an MSG official said. "So the watch party outside MSG was not canceled in the traditional sense. The Knicks do not agree to what the city proposed." These watch parties operated throughout the playoffs, but were shut down once the Finals returned to Madison Square Garden. The initial rationale offered was enhanced security due to President Trump’s attendance at Game Three. But Trump’s not in the Garden tonight.  Why was all of this glossed over? Was it due to ABC’s corporate role as the NBA broadcast partner carrying the Finals? Was it due to a desire not to air a controversial decision made by socialist Mayor Mamdani, thus insulating him from scrutiny? Whatever the reason, the end result is viewers getting a sanitized preview featuring only half the story.  

Sunny Hostin used her platform on ABC’s “bona fide new program” The View to once again urge viewers in Maine to vote for Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner. Additionally, she called on Democrats to abandon their morals and do whatever was necessary to take back power in the House and Senate, even if it meant voting for a Nazi. She was also supported by guest co-host Sheryl Underwood who argued it was okay to vote for Platner because “Charles Lindbergh was a Nazi sympathizer.” “Look, I don't think Republicans, at this point, can ask us to take the moral high ground. That is over at this point,” Hostin proclaimed, reacting to Platner winning the Democratic nomination. “It's time for Democrats to stop that nonsense, put emotions on the side, let's be strategic, let's get some power, let’s take over the Senate and let’s take over the House and let's right the ship! Let's get our country back!” Hostin continued with her direct appeal for Mainers to elect Platner: I am sorry, I am someone that believes in character, I am someone that believes that morals matter. But because of the state of this country, I would -- if I lived in Maine I would hold my nose and I would vote for Platner! I would!   Admitting it's all for power, Sunny Hostin on her and Democrats having moral standards: "That is over at this point. That is over. (...) It's time for Democrats to stop that nonsense." pic.twitter.com/H6KgLAvPwE — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) June 10, 2026   Underwood, who filled in for co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin as a “Republican,” was back for the week filling in for co-host for liberal Joy Behar. For her part, Underwood tried to give viewers in Maine the political cover to vote for Platner by citing Lindbergh’s Nazi sympathies and a Nazi rally that was held at Madison Square Garden in 1939: UNDERWOOD: But most people don't know, Charles Lindbergh was a Nazi sympathizer. HOSTIN: Yes, he was. UNDERWOOD: And they had Nazis rallies over at Madison Square Garden and there are people that believe this stuff. And unfortunately our country has pivoted to a way where I don't care what the guy is, can we control the House and the Senate so that maybe we can impeach -- [Crosstalk] I think what people want. They want is control the House and Senate. Hopefully, they can impeach the President this time and vote him all the way out.   Guest co-host, filling in for Joy Behar, Sheryl Underwood proclaims it's okay for Democrats to support Platner because Charles Lindbergh was a "Nazi sympathizer" and MSG hosted a Nazi rally.

[Cuts back to live] [Crosstalk] WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. SHERYL UNDERWOOD: Oh nah - [Crosstalk] GOLDBERG: Look. Here, you got it.

[Applause] GOLDBERG: I mean, in terms of scandals. SUNNY HOSTIN: Wow. GOLDBERG: -- He boasted about grabbing women by their private parts. UNDERWOOD: Who is they? GOLDBERG: You know who he is. He is reported to have cheated on all three of his wives and allegedly avoiding paying income tax for years. He was taken to court for allegedly stiffing his vendors and his bank - bankers and own family and he's the only president in American history impeached twice for high crimes and misdemeanors. So you can question, but YOU can't question. HOSTIN: She cannot. GOLDBERG: You can't question it because you helped put him in there. HOSTIN: Isn’t she the person who invented “alternative facts.” GOLDBERG: Yes, she is. HOSTIN: She is the person. And let us also remember that he was also convicted of 34 felony counts. UNDERWOOD: That’s right! GOLDBERG: There you go. HOSTIN: And found liable - civilly liable for sexual abuse so let's add that to who’s in the White House. GOLDBERG: We can talk about Platner.

HOSTIN: That is over. FARAH GRIFFIN: It’s a choice. HOSTIN: I'm sorry. Democrats have always fallen in love and Republicans have always fallen in line.

But because of the state of this country, I would -- if I lived in Maine I would hold my nose and I would vote for Platner! I would! UNDERWOOD: See, I guess my question is, is the debate more about the people of Maine electing this guy or saying it when you had was it Mills? What’s her name? FARAH GRIFFIN: Janet Mills. UNDERWOOD: Janet Mills was still on the ballot. I just think that the stakes are too high and I think also it says something about the country that these are the type of people. It used to be no, I'm not going to elect this person. But most people don't know, Charles Lindbergh was a Nazi sympathizer. HOSTIN: Yes, he was.

Wednesday afternoon on CNN’s The Arena, panelist and New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor — who won a Pulitzer Prize for her investigative reporting on the #MeToo movement and had her exploits turned into a movie — outright scoffed at the disturbing claims of abusive behavior against Maine Democrat senatorial candidate Graham Platner by ex-girlfriends, ascribing them to disagreements in relationships between two consenting adults. Needless to say, it’s doubtful Lyndsey Fifield (whom, as I’ve repeatedly disclosed, is someone I’ve known for years) would say her relationship with Platner just over a decade ago was something to wave off. Host Kasie Hunt had just finished a monologue also seeming to defend Platner on the grounds that, if Republicans elected Donald Trump despite a whole host of allegations against him, then Democrats could do the same. Asked what she made of “our political moment that voters are willing to overlook” tawdry details, Kantor declared as though she’s the judge and jury that “the accusations against Graham Pla tner are not classic MeToo accusations” because “[t]hey’re not about a boss and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances.” WATCH: New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor – who wrote many of the #MeToo stories – DEFENDS Graham Platner and DISMISSES the allegations against him by @LyndseyFifield and other ex-girlfriends because they were not “abuse” and women saying they just “did not like what” they saw… pic.twitter.com/qMSSXa3XNU — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 10, 2026 “[T]hey were mostly made in the context of consensual relationships. There are these, like, very sensational texts about sex. There are allegations from former girlfriends that are not — the way my colleagues reported them were not like classic abuse allegations,” Kantor asserted with such gross dispassion. She went on with gross dismissal of his Nazi tattoo and Reddit posts blaming women for rape: “They were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him, and I did not like what I saw. His character was scary. He had this Nazi tattoo, etc.” As for Fifield’s story, Kantor too may as well have told her to suck it up because at least Platner didn’t do what Trump bragged to Billy Bush about doing: “There was one allegation of crossing a line physically, but I think that means that these are pretty different accusations than, say, the one that — the ones that President Trump faced. And, of course, in the Access Hollywood tape, President Trump bragged about grabbing women against their will.” She concluded with utter shamelessness: “And so, I think it speaks to the kind of confusion of the long post MeToo moment in which, like, gender related accusations get bundled together. But they’re actually very different.” Thankfully, right-of-center CNN commentator and pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson pushed back (although not in the same way, say, Scott Jennings would have) (click “expand”):      You know, one of the things that Graham Platner said in his comments that you showed earlier in the show was they want to make this just about one moment. But what I’m struck by is it’s not just about one moment with him. It’s not just about one time where he grabbed someone’s wrist. It’s about a time where, as your colleagues reported, he took her and he put her in a room and he closed the door, allegedly, and would not let her out. It’s about the texts to — up to six other women who are not his wife.     So, the problem for Graham Platner is that it’s not just one thing. And when he says it’s not about me, he’s really hoping that it’s not about him. He’s really hoping that the midterm is about Donald Trump, and he may get his wish, ultimately. But I feel like there’s a chance that Democrats look back at a moment like this, where they had someone run against essentially nobody strong in that primary — like, the sitting governor backed out — are they leaving seats on the table in a very favorable environment by choosing candidates who simply are not the A-Team? Showing how absurd Kantor’s partisan spin was, even liberal CNN political commentator and former Garland Justice Department spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa warned her fellow Democrats not to become too interwined with Platner: CNN’s @XochitlHinojosa warns fellow Democrats to not be overly enthusiastic supporters of Graham Platner because, if they want to run in 2028, it could be used against them.... “I don't think it really gets him anything for Democratic leaders in Washington to be defending him.… pic.twitter.com/kC2VK1EYoB — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 10, 2026 “One warning I have for Democrats is...we need women in order to win in 2028. If you are eyeing a run for presidency and you are going out there and campaigning for Graham Platner, I would say that is pretty bad advice that you have been given right now, because, at some point, you yourself will be needed. You need to make the case to women directly. Let Graham Platner do his thing in Maine...I don’t think that national Democrats need to go out there on a limb for him at this point,” she argued. Former Michigan Republican Congressman Peter Meijer tore into these attempts to defending his bad behavior as well as the particularly offensive nature of minimizing it under the guise of his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from serving in the Marines: .@PeterMeijer on Graham Platner: “Well, the idea too, that — ‘well, he’s — he’s — he’s taking responsibility for his actions, he’s transformed.’ I mean, the allegations of texting multiple women while he’s in a relationship and cheating on his wife — I mean, those are within the… pic.twitter.com/xD6yAmMupz — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 10, 2026 He also rejected the comparisons between Platner and Trump because the latter is a singular, history-defining figure (click “expand”): Boom: @PeterMeijer on why we should stop with the Donald Trump/Graham Platner comparisons... “And you’ve seen a lot of Republicans who say, ‘oh, well, Trump can do this, and he can get away with it. So — so can I?’ No, he’s Teflon Don. This guy is a unitary, standalone figure.… pic.twitter.com/OdMJjFmU6K — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 10, 2026 And you’ve seen a lot of Republicans who say, “oh, well, Trump can do this and he can get away with it. So — so can I?” No, he’s Teflon Don. This guy is a unitary, standalone figure. The political laws of gravity do not apply to him. They apply to a lot of folks who want to be like him. And those folks end up vastly underperforming him in the polls. And I think, yes, absolutely, there’s an anti-incumbent, there’s an anti-establishment sentiment, and that’s an easy thing to play up. It’s also an easy thing, as you’ve seen with his talk about, you know, Epstein class, and that it’s an easy thing to start to slide in from anti-establishment to anti-Semitic and go down a very dark rabbit hole of conspiracies. I guarantee you watch for when the next shoe drops, who he starts to blame, and how dark this campaign gets. The Epstein files consumed the next block as Bill Gates spent the day testifying behind closed doors to the House Oversight Committee plus an Epstein-focused excerpt of a new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan came out, so of course Kantor weighed in. This time, though, she seemed way more concerned about those mentioned in the files, regardless of whether they did anything wrong (click “expand”): Well, I was riveted by Maggie and Jonathan’s excerpt. Their book is called Regime Change. I think it is going to be a blockbuster. And what was so interesting was that you could really see President Trump losing control of the Epstein story, paragraph by paragraph, as they give this internal account of the Trump team trying to deal with it. And part of what is so fascinating about it is that, listen, we’re living through a presidentially led backlash to Me Too, right? The President has appointed himself the chief opponent of this movement. But then what happened is it turned out that people really cared about the Epstein files. They were grossed out by the by, the idea of young women being manipulated by the powerful and the wealthy, and part of the lasting power of Me Too, is that there’s a lot of empathy, especially for very young victims. And so, to see the President sort of hit by, you could almost call it a backlash to the backlash was really interesting. To see the relevant CNN transcript from June 10, click here.

News networks have boiled the widespread skepticism about the Los Angeles mayoral election into a simplistic, bite-sized story about President Trump spreading baseless conspiracy theories. Despite numerous segments on left-wing cable (CNN and MS NOW) and broadcast (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks which acknowledged the President’s criticism of the process — not to mention, incessant claims of “no evidence” — none of these networks has acknowledged any of the details about the election that are raising eyebrows. When election night concluded in LA, Democratic incumbent Karen Bass led the race with about 37 percent of the vote. Behind her were Spencer Pratt (~30%) and Nithya Raman (~20%). Due to the rules of California’s “jungle primary,” in which the top two finishers always advance to a general election run-off regardless of party affiliation, Pratt was not guaranteed to advance despite being the only Republican in the race. In the subsequent week, Raman, somewhat incredibly, would go on to receive over 40 percent of the vote across all post-election night mail-in ballots — more than double her share of support at the end of election night. Not only was this enough for Raman to overtake Pratt and secure a spot in the general election, it was also more than the share of support that Karen Bass received from post-election night ballots. Obviously, the optics of such an astronomically small statistical anomaly are troubling. They were further exacerbated by the fact that ballots were being flown into election offices by the helicopter load. To make matters worse, when the Department of Justice subpoenaed California for voter registration information, the state refused to comply. None of this is proof of fraud, but it’s certainly circumstantial evidence that suggest something strange may have gone on. The news media, meanwhile, who have spent the past week chanting “no evidence of fraud,” somehow have neglected to mention any of the above details in their reporting. That’s strange, because if none of it counts as evidence of fraud, one should assume they’d have no problem with discussing it, or at least acknowledging it at all.
