While ABC, CBS, and NBC have shown scant interest — just three minutes and 43 seconds — on their lead morning and evening shows in covering University of Loyola Chicago student Sheridan Gorman’s brutal March 19 murder, CNN and MS NOW have been even less interested in reporting on the murder allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien from Venezuela as neither has dedicated a single on-air story to this crime. While there hasn’t been a single news report or dedicated segment to Gorman and the case, she has been either directly or indirectly mentioned 11 times on CNN and once on MS NOW in live remarks from the White House or Capitol Hill, or statements by Republican guests. In other words, Gorman’s name has not once been uttered by a host, reporter, or even paid network contributor. Media Research Center analysts searched CNN’s transcripts page, Nexis, and Snapstream closed captioning searches from the evening of March 19 (specifically 8:00 p.m. Eastern, the first full hour after news broke of the suspect’s identity) through March 30, looking for mentions Sheridan Gorman (including separate searches for her first name, last name, and both), Chicago, and Loyola. As of this story’s publication, these searches spanned 186 possible hours of news programming on CNN and 151 hours on MS NOW. The only time MS NOW viewers might have been inclined to research for Gorman’s case came Friday afternoon when it carried remarks from Speaker Mike Johnson about Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding: In the last several days, we have recent examples of dangerous criminals in this country killing innocent Americans. We had an 18-year-old college student in Chicago, a young lady, who was shot in the back by a dangerous criminal who had been released in that sanctuary city and first, released at the border under Joe Biden. They opened the border wide for four years. That was it. Three sentences in a press conference that, if they had known Gorman’s case would be mentioned, they might not have carried it. Over on CNN, they too aired that Johnson press conference, along with March 25 and 30 White House press briefings in which Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned Gorman by name, a March 26 White House cabinet meeting where President Trump alluded to Gorman three times, and a March 27 when Trump cited Gorman when speaking to reporters after landing in Miami. Thankfully, two CNN guests had the courage last week to bring up Gorman during segments about the partial government shutdown over DHS. First, Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) paid tribute to Gorman last Wednesday on The Arena when host Kasie Hunt asked him about the state of funding negotiations (click “expand”): Well, let me show you the consequences of lax immigration enforcement. A 18-year-old girl in my district, Sheridan Gorman, was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant that was allowed to enter into the country during Joe Biden’s administration, captured at the border released. He was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago, released. And he went and brutally murdered an 18-year-old innocent girl. And Hakeem Jeffries yesterday couldn’t even be bothered to say whether or not that type of individual who is arrested for murder, who is in the country illegally, should be deported. So, this is what the Democrats are fighting back against, Kasie. They don’t want immigration enforcement. They don’t want ICE to be able to do their jobs. That individual never should have been in this country. And the reason we passed the Laken Riley Act was specifically because you have cases where people are arrested for things like shoplifting and local jurisdictions are not cooperating with immigration enforcement. And so. innocent Americans are being killed in the streets. And so, yes, there is a debate to be had on immigration enforcement. There is a debate to be had on sanctuary jurisdiction policies that the Democrats have continually supported. The second instance was on the March 27/28 edition of CNN’s The Story Is when former Trump campaign deputy communications director Caroline Sunshine invoked Gorman on four separate occasions while debating far-left influencer and podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen about the DHS shutdown. When Cohen brought up the deaths of far-left Minneapolis protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Sunshine said she was “glad you bring up killing people on the streets” as a segue to asking: “So, what would you say to the family of Sheridan Gorman who was killed last week by an illegal immigrant who entered our country in 2023 and had a detainer out and an arrest warrant that wasn’t fulfilled?” “What would you say to her family as to why it’s okay to not fund ICE? Whose job it would be to make sure that, one, he was never here, and two, we’ve gotten rid of him? What would you say to her family,” she added. Cohen wouldn’t engage, only to say he’s “sad for anybody who passes away or who is tragically killed,” but pivoted back to ICE “slaughtering people in the streets.” The second time came when Cohen claimed President Trump has “leverag[ing] Americans’ pain” at airports to ensure passage of the SAVE America Act that Sunshine again jumped in (click “expand”): SUNSHINE: But on the fact of leveraging pain, let’s talk about the pain again of Sheridan Gorman, who just last week in our country. I just want everybody to picture this. She is an 18-year-old woman who is out watching the Northern Lights with her friends, taking selfies, thinking about what she is going to post on social media, and instantly a bullet rings out, hits her head. She is killed instantly by an illegal immigrant who should have never been here in the first place. Again, came in 2023. ICE’s whole job is to get people like that out of our country. It is not morally defensible to defend a nation that allows criminals like that to stay in our country. That’s not morally — COHEN: But — but ICE is funded. Notice how, on both occasions, host Elex Michaelson didn’t engage on Sunshine’s argument about the need to fund immigration enforcement. That said, Michaelson briefly asked Cohen — who had just dismissed Gorman’s murder as “fear porn” — to address one tangential point Sunshine raised: “But don’t you agree that ICE is itself important, and the idea of taking out criminal illegal aliens that have convicted of other crimes is a good thing?” Cohen only said “the idea of immigration enforcement is important” because “ICE, as it stands right now, is beyond repair” and “fundamentally broken.” Sunshine clapped back amid some Cohen stammering: “Who’s supposed to save Sheridan Gorman? It’s a good thing that we allowed her killer to stay in our country? Is it a good thing that she is dead? You want to talk about exploiting pain? Is it a good thing that she is dead? Yes or no? She would not be dead if an illegal immigrant had not been in our country.” The last time was towards the end of their lengthy tussle, starting with Sunshine wondering: “And what about the pain of Sheridan Gorman’s family again?” With over 300 hours of news programming since news broke about the suspect, CNN and MS NOW have had more than enough time to muster even a single news report about the suspect’s arrest or his first court hearing. Thus, their decision to remain silent has been more than just bias, but a choice to suppress an inconvenient narrative surrounding the very agency at the center of this latest shutdown.

Liberal activist/actress Cynthia Nixon apparently has a lot of time on her hands since the cancellation of HBO Max’s Sex and the City reboot which she starred in. When she’s not out on boats claiming abortion is “great,” she can be found virtue signaling in aimless protests such as Saturday’s “No Kings” gathering in New York City. Leave it to an obsolete Hollywood actress to lecture America about supposed “kings” while cosplaying as a revolutionary in New York City. Nixon showed up at the laughably named rally and promptly unloaded on Donie O'Sullivan at CNN about how she believes the entire planet is “horrified” that Trump is president of the United States: Millionaire liberal activist/actress Cynthia Nixon tells CNN at #NoKings rally she thinks the whole world agrees w/ her views- proving how out of touch Hollywood is with everday Americans who fairly elected Trump into office. pic.twitter.com/C9GNtlZsU8 — Dawn Slusher (@BlondeBlogger) March 30, 2026 NIXON: I think it’s really important for us to show up. I think it’s important for us to show up in New York, I think it’s important for us to show up across the country in big cities and small towns. And I think it’s important for people to show up across the world. I think that I think that the rest of the world looks at us and is so horrified by what’s happening and can’t believe that we’ve elected this man and that we’re going along with it, and we have to show out, as we’re doing today, in record numbers, to say, this is not okay with us. Who is “us”? Speak for yourself, Nixon. Of course, a millionaire celebrity who lives in a liberal bubble would think the entire world believes as she does. She’s a prime example of Hollywood elites being out of touch with common, hardworking, everyday Americans. You know, the ones who fairly elected Trump as president via democratic process rather than him being a bloodline heir to a throne like a king. The “no kings” chants make as much sense as the left’s Chicken Little cries of “threat to democracy” and “the Constitution is in danger!” Spare us. Record numbers? In deep-blue Manhattan? Sure, Cynthia. The rest of the country handed Trump a comeback victory precisely because they were horrified by the open borders, inflation, and cultural insanity her crowd inflicted on them for four years. This is the same Cynthia Nixon who got demolished when she ran for New York governor in 2018, by the way. Yet here she is again, virtue signaling at a protest that reeks of sour grapes. Nixon’s brand of coastal elitism is exactly why Trump won twice. While she frets about supposed international feelings, working families are watching grocery bills drop, the border finally secured, and America no longer apologizing for existing. The world she claims is “horrified” includes plenty of leaders who quietly respect strength over the weakness her party peddled. Also, does Nixon’s “rest of the world” include Venezuelans or Iranians? The people who live in or fled Iran and Venezuela because of oppression aren’t “horrified” by Trump- they’re grateful. They’ve been dancing in the streets and thanking Trump by the millions for his efforts to secure their freedom. Venezuela is now free of dictator Nicolás Maduro, and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was eliminated while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been hammered. But Nixon is out ironically protesting the man who made it all happen by claiming he’s the dictatorial king. #MakeItMakeSense As usual, facts don’t matter when your entire worldview comes from Manhattan dinner parties and And Just Like That residuals. Sorry, Miranda Hobbes. The American people didn’t elect a king. They elected a president who promised to put them first. Your rally may have felt important in that little progressive bubble, but it doesn’t mesh with reality. At all.

During a time when ABC’s The View was going through their rolodex of their pre-approved “conservative” and “Republican” women since their main faker, Alyssa Farah Griffin was out on maternity leave, the old crones lashed out during Monday’s episode because an actual young conservative woman was telling women to get married and have kids. “I don't even know how to explain this story but I'm going to tell you what happened,” moderator Whoopi Goldberg declared. “The Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, wrapped up this weekend and conservative activist Isabel Brown had a message for her fellow Gen Z women who reportedly are the least likely group in America to get married and have kids.” They then played this cherry-picked soundbite of Daily Wire podcaster Isabel Brown from a CPAC panel discussion: If you're not encouraging your children to grow up and have the courage to get married and have kids, more kids than they can afford before they think they're ready, it is high time to start. It is these choices like deleting our dating apps and quitting birth control pills and saying I do at the altar that ultimately trickle down into the political policies that we will see save our country. Goldberg, who had one kid, put on her white-girl-mocking voice (think ditzy valley girl accent) and lashed out at Brown with accusations hinting she was some kind of hypocrite because of what other people had said in the past about welfare queens. “Okay. I just want to say, years ago they used to come after women of color and accuse women of color of doing this very thing. And that's why they continued to cut all these programs and erase all these things,” she chided. Goldberg rage inexplicable rage at Brown quickly grew until she was just screaming “what” at the top of her lungs: "And now, had I known that it turns out we are all just one group of women, we're just one group -- I mean, WHAT?! Because what is she -- WHAT THE -- WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!"   The View has MELTDOWN over conservative woman Isabel Brown at CPAC telling women to get married and have more kids. They claim the right wants welfare queens and falsely claims feminism "was not about bucking the trend of staying at home of loving tradition: ISABEL BROWN: If… pic.twitter.com/SCKhdyL7Ze — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 30, 2026   With Goldberg losing her mind, pretend independent co-host Sara Haines had to step in to take over. Haines then proceeded to engage in revisionist history of feminism telling women not to marry and have kids: So, my ultimate beef with this is that it wraps a woman's worth up in her ovaries in a way that for too long has happened. The whole women's movement was not about bucking the trend of staying at home or loving tradition. It was giving women a choice to do what they wanted. And that's what this is too. Marriage, children. It's a choice. Haines also took on the anti-life position of whining about there being too many people on the planet and having a family was “the stupidest, most old fashion thing.” “The world has over 8 billion people! We no longer need to force people to procreate and pump out babies!” she shouted. It’s worth noting that Haines was both married and had multiple kids. Childless fake Republican Ana Navarro tried to apply the usual liberal trope response to pro-lifers, suggesting someone was trying to control “my uterus”: But also where is the call to responsibility for the men who make -- who help make these children? Right? I don't know why it's always people lecturing women what they have to do or not to do. Bottom line, if you're not paying my bills, you don't get to tell me what I do with my uterus. With two collage-age kids of her own, co-host Sunny Hostin proclaimed having kids in this day and age was “reckless.” She then went on to shriek about how most families were too poor to have kids (unlike her) because parents supposedly needed to make $400,000 a year to take care of a child. Navarro was skeptical (Click “expand”): HOSTIN: I think it’s just really reckless to be suggesting that people should have more children when you now know in this country there's this affordability crisis and for a two-person household, a married household you need over $400,000 for childcare. Over $400,000. Most people don't make over $400,000. So, she's advocating for people to be born into poverty, people not being able to feed those children, people not being able to educate those children, and people not being able to house those children at the same time when this government is cutting all of the services that would allow people to have families and big families. [Crosstalk] NAVARRO: $400,000 over the lifetime of a child or what? HOSTIN: No. No. NAVARRO: A year?! HOSTIN: A year. It’s an annual income exceeding $400,000 to afford childcare. NAVARRO: Okay, that’s got to be in New York. HOSTIN: No. It's all over the country. According to LendingTree analysis. Of course, Hostin was misrepresenting that LendingTree analysis.   Sunny Hostin, who has 2 kids, says It's "reckless" to have any kids at all in Trump's America. Whoopi gets BIG BAD. pic.twitter.com/Mbyy60pXPe — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 30, 2026   That analysis was for one child but for a family with two kids. “Under federal guidelines, child care is considered affordable when it accounts for no more than 7% of household income. With average annual costs for care of an infant and a 4-year-old reaching $28,190, a family would need to earn $402,708 a year to stay within that benchmark. However, typical two-child households earn just $145,656, falling far short of what affordability standards suggest,” they wrote. “And perhaps Isabel, you want to talk to some of those red states about some of their laws about women because they're not really encouraging women to do anything except flee from them,” Goldberg sniped as she was going to a commercial break. Interestingly, LendingTree had more information. Most of the top 10 “states with the biggest discrepancies between average incomes, amount needed to afford child care” were blue states. The full top 10 list included: Hawaii, Nebraska, Montana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Vermont. The states with the “smallest discrepancies” were all red states. Goldberg and the latest purported conservative filling in for Farah Griffin, Whitney Cummings mocked Brown for telling woman to have more kids when she only had one at the time. Cummings also suggested that Brown’s husband was abusive and suggested Brown needed to turn to LegalZoom for help with a divorce. The View could have had Brown on the program to discuss her point of view in person, but the show refuses to invite Republicans not critical of the party or leadership. “I’d like to thank the women of @TheView for showing their truest, darkest colors today: they’re literally shrieking like demons at the thought of encouraging young women to have children,” Brown responded to their criticism in a thread on X. “They want you to hate happy, healthy, fulfilled young people with kids. Even more disturbingly, they want you to hate babies so much that you never want them in the first place.”   They want you to hate happy, healthy, fulfilled young people with kids. Even more disturbingly, they want you to hate babies so much that you never want them in the first place. Their response to my encouragement for Gen Z women to get married and have kids?

The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View March 30, 2026 11:17:02 a.m. Eastern WHOOPI GOLDBERG: All right. Welcome back. I don't even know how to explain this story but I'm going to tell you what happened. The Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, wrapped up this weekend and conservative activist Isabel Brown had a message for her fellow Gen Z women who reportedly are the least likely group in America to get married and have kids. But I want you to see this. [Cuts to video] ISABEL BROWN: If you're not encouraging your children to grow up and have the courage to get married and have kids, more kids than they can afford before they think they're ready, it is high time to start. It is these choices like deleting our dating apps and quitting birth control pills and saying I do at the altar that ultimately trickle down into the political policies that we will see save our country. [Cuts back to live] GOLDBERG: [In a mocking voice] Okay. I just want to say, years ago they used to come after women of color and accuse women of color of doing this very thing. And that's why they continued to cut all these programs and erase all these things. SUNNY HOSTIN: Child care programs. GOLDBERG: Name it. Name it. And now, had I known that it turns out we are all just one group of women, we're just one group -- I mean, WHAT?! Because what is she -- WHAT THE -- WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! SARA HAINES: So, my ultimate beef with this is that it wraps a woman's worth up in her ovaries in a way that for too long has happened. The whole women's movement was not about bucking the trend of staying at home or loving tradition. It was giving women a choice to do what they wanted. And that's what this is too. Marriage, children. It's a choice. And by the way -- GOLDBERG: But be responsible for God's sakes. HAINES: No, but be responsible. But the other thing is they act like people are sitting around just saying, 'yeah, no, I'm good.' Most women I know -- and some don't. But most women wanted to have children. They don't have them for other reasons. Most women I know if they had a great candidate or partner might want to be married. Maybe they don't. The fact we keep putting this on women, that their only worth in society, politics, policy is if they produce a baby or have a husband is the stupidest, most old-fashioned thing! We have come too far! The world has over 8 billion people! We no longer need to force people to procreate and pump out babies! We have arrived here! Women now and girls now have a choice! Let them do that! ANA NAVARRO: But also where is the call to responsibility for the men who make -- who help make these children? Right? I don't know why it's always people lecturing women what they have to do or not to do. Bottom line, if you're not paying my bills, you don't get to tell me what I do with my uterus. WHITNEY CUMMINGS: I do feel like she doesn't even realize how goofy her point was because she said we need to teach our kids to have the courage to get married. If your marriage requires courage I have a lot of questions about your husband. We need to tell this woman about Legal Zoom and how easy it is to get out of it. NAVARRO: Do remember these are the same people who support Donald Trump. That does take courage. CUMMINGS: I gave our girl Isabel a little Google. She has a baby, she has a one year-old. Of course, she thinks everyone should have a lot of kids. She has a 1-year-old that sleeps all day. I also was thinking I'm going to have a bunch more kids. Wait till your kid is up and walking and you spend most of your day trying to get its shoes on. You're probably going to rethink how many kids you have. (…) 11:21:06 a.m. Eastern HOSTIN: I think it’s just really - GOLDBERG: Reckless. HOSTIN: - reckless to be suggesting that people should have more children when you now know in this country there's this affordability crisis and for a two-person household, a married household you need over $400,000 for childcare. Over $400,000. Most people don't make over $400,000. So, she's advocating for people to be born into poverty, people not being able to feed those children, people not being able to educate those children, and people not being able to house those children at the same time when this government is cutting all of the services that would allow people to have families and big families.

NAVARRO: Okay, that’s got to be in New York. HOSTIN: No. It's all over the country. According to LendingTree analysis. And finally, this woman makes $10,000 per speaking engagement, between $5,000 and $10,000 per speaking engagement. Maybe she can afford to do it but most people cannot. GOLDBERG: But listen to what she's encouraging. She's saying don't have any thought about what you're doing. Yes, be thoughtful before you have a kid! HOSTIN: Correct. GOLDBERG: You should be thoughtful before you have a kid! [Applause] And perhaps Isabel, you want to talk to some of those red states about some of their laws about women because they're not really encouraging women to do anything except flee from them. You're saying -- you're telling people to have as many babies as they want to. Again, I'm going to send you back into the past and I want you to look and see how people were treated. And then I want you to say you know what? Maybe this isn't the smartest idea because I only have one child. I don't have to deal with anything. Because I've got somebody who watches the kid because I noticed the kid wasn't on the thing with her! It’s just - don’t - Look, if y'all are Gen Z, you know this ain't the one. This ain’t the one. Okay? We'll be right back.

“I confronted a No Kings protestor on the lack of diversity at the protest, she told me she's here because black people can't be,” Podcaster Nate Friedman explains, introducing video of an interview he conducted at Saturday’s “No King’s Day” protest in New York. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, that it’s mostly people like you and I,” Friedman tells a White female protestor at the event, prompting her to claim that Black people – and only Black people – would be arrested at the rally: “This is not, this is not, it is not for Black people, for people of color to get out on the street. They’re at risk when they do that. If anybody’s going to get arrested here, it’s going to be a Black person.” “It is not safe for them and they don’t need to participate,” the White protestor added, claiming that “We need to walk in their name.” It’s also a racist scheme to require voters to show identification, the woman, who says she “voted Democrat in the womb, claimed: “It’s 100% a tactic to control the population and prevent people from voting so that the gerrymandering can work so that white voters can vote in White Christian males.” “I would slit my throat” if forced to vote for one of two Republicans, J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio, the woman declared. “Yeah,” the protestor confirmed when asked if she was serious.
