Estimate    TV News Hammers ICE Border Enforcement With 93% Negative Coverage In the 10 days following the January 7 fatal shooting of left-wing agitator Renee Good left-wing broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC spent more than two hours of airtime blaming the city’s out-of-control chaos on immigration officials, of which a whopping 93 percent was negative toward federal immigration officials. ABC - 91% negative coverage NBC - 91% negative coverage CBS - 96% negative coverage   Just 1.6% of the Minneapolis-related coverage included any mention of crimes committed by the illegal aliens whom ICE agents were there to apprehend. CBS never explicitly admitted that Nicole Good hit agent Jonathan Ross with her car moments before he fired at her. ABC and NBC did so only once each. Although all three networks acknowledged that the ICE agent involved was hospitalized for internal bleeding, they each buried this crucial detail, mentioning it only once during the entire 10-day period of coverage. CBS - 26 of 27 sound bites aired were hostile toward federal agents, effectively silencing the law enforcement perspective. Both ABC & NBC - 21 of 23 sound bites aired were hostile toward federal agents. On January 12, CBS correspondent Nicole Sganga accused ICE agent Jonathan Ross of murdering Nicole Good: “DHS this weekend released a video showing the minutes leading up to the murder of Renee Good. She and others are heard honking car horns. Trump administration officials claim she intended to ram ICE agents before she was shot.” Not MAGA TV: CBS Has Spent Only 13 Seconds on Anti-ICE Mob Storming Church Major Networks Are Minimizing Significant News Despite a dramatic incident in Minneapolis where an anti-ICE mob — including a high-profile figure — stormed a church service to confront congregants and protest over the Renee Good shooting, CBS only devoted about 13 seconds of coverage to the story across its flagship morning and evening broadcast shows. This is media bias by omission on matters involving anti-authority protests.CBS’s Coverage Choices Reflect Editorial Priorities CBS’s brief mention was limited to a single sentence on CBS Evening News noting the Justice Department was “considering federal charges” — with little context on who disrupted worship services or why it was notable. In contrast, the broader pattern across networks showed more emphasis on debates about enforcement tactics than on reporting the disruption itself.Media Accountability and Public Awareness The dramatically unbalanced airtime — minutes and seconds devoted to different angles of the Minneapolis unrest — raises questions about whether major broadcast news is fulfilling its role in informing the public about politically charged conflicts, especially when federal investigations and First Amendment issues are involved. Google News in December: Holiday Cheer for Some, Censorship for Others Google News skewed coverage by promoting left-leaning outlets 70.3% of the time, out of all stories, while limiting right-leaning sources to just 1.3%, resulting in a ratio of 52 left-leaning stories for every one right-leaning story. The bias is consequential because in the month of December alone Google News had 93 million visits -- the 10th most visited news site in the country.  This isn't just a minor tilt; it is a systematic suppression that prevents users from seeing a balanced spectrum of political reporting, effectively creating a one-sided information bubble for the average American news consumer. While Google positions its news platform as a neutral aggregator of "top stories," the results are curated with a heavy thumb on the scale. By disproportionately boosting liberal-leaning outlets for general search terms, Google is engaging in "algorithmic censorship." This practice manipulates public perception by ensuring that conservative viewpoints are treated as fringe or non-existent, even when they are reporting on the same major national events. GDP Growth in 3rd Quarter Exceeded Economists’ Expectations, Previous Commerce Dept. Estimate The "Trump Boom" Consistently Outperforms Expert Pessimism The U.S. economy grew at a "red-hot" annual rate of 4.3% in the third quarter, far exceeding the 3.2% growth predicted by blue-chip academic and financial economists. This trend follows a pattern where roughly 90% of professional forecasters have underestimated the strength of the current administration's economic policies.  Strategic Tariffs are Driving Domestic Growth Contrary to warnings that trade enforcement would cripple the economy, the Q3 data shows that the administration’s tariff campaign is successfully reshaping the GDP landscape. A primary driver of the 4.3% growth was a significant drop in imports—which are subtracted from GDP—as businesses and consumers pivot away from foreign reliance. This shift, combined with a 3.5% surge in consumer spending, demonstrates that "America First" trade policies are successfully incentivizing domestic economic activity without stalling the engine of the U.S. economy. Pro-Growth Policies are Winning the War on Inflation While critics predicted that deregulation and tax incentives would trigger runaway inflation, the reality has been the opposite. The disinflationary effects of increased American energy production and the removal of bureaucratic red tape have helped steer inflation toward the Fed's 2% target, even as growth accelerates.    .
