Today's Highlights: What MRC's Media Watchdogs Are Saying

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: MRC Uncovers Broadcast Networks Hiding Illegal Immigrant Status of Foiled UFC Drone Terrorist MRC Exposes Morning Joe Fawning Over Obama Center Opening MRC Flashback Highlights Media Overwhelmingly Celebrating Anthony Fauci Despite New Pandemic Evidence MRC Exposes American Media Blackout on Mass Abuse Report Involving British Girls   MRC Uncovers Broadcast Networks Hiding Illegal Immigrant Status of Foiled UFC Drone Terrorist Research conducted by MRC reveals that major broadcast networks including ABC, CBS, and NBC completely omitted critical immigration details regarding a foiled terrorist plot. While the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the suspected ringleader of the attempted attack on a UFC event at the White House was an illegal immigrant who overstayed a visitor visa and received DACA status in 2014, the evening and morning newscasts chose to keep viewers in the dark. MRC exposed a severe distortion of news priorities by tracking how the networks allocated their airtime. Instead of reporting on a significant national security threat and the immigration status of the suspect, ABC, CBS, and NBC spent over 13 minutes obsessing over minor aesthetic setbacks regarding President Trump's renovation of the National Mall reflecting pool, prioritizing political trolling over a threat to the president's life. An analysis by MRC highlights the hypocrisy of this news blackout, noting that the immigration revelation directly ties back to the Obama administration's DACA policies. This omission occurred at the exact same time network journalists were heavily praising former President Obama during the opening of his presidential center, demonstrating a protective pattern of coverage. MRC Exposes Morning Joe Fawning Over Obama Center Opening MRC documented how liberal media figures openly fawned over the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. On MS NOW's Morning Joe, a reporter went so far as to claim he was personally heartbroken because tickets to the museum were sold out through November, transforming what should have been objective reporting into blatant admiration for the former president. According to findings by MRC, network commentators actively utilized the event to launch highly partisan attacks against the current administration. Program hosts and guests praised Obama for an absence of grievances and petty insults during his speech, directly contrasting his demeanor with President Trump and claiming that American institutions have felt under attack during the current era. MRC highlighted a highly controversial comparison made on air where a prominent guest linked the celebration of Juneteenth to the political fight against Donald Trump. By framing the monument built in Obama's name as a tool to confront and refuse to be bullied by conservative leadership, the network completely shifted the historic meaning of the holiday into a modern progressive rallying cry. MRC Flashback Highlights Media Overwhelmingly Celebrating Anthony Fauci Despite New Pandemic Evidence Following a massive declassification of documents by the Director of National Intelligence regarding the origins of the COVID 19 pandemic, MRC compiled a flashback demonstrating how the corporate media spent years blindly defending Dr. Anthony Fauci. The newly released papers suggest Fauci may have actively funded gain of function research in Wuhan and suppressed the laboratory leak theory, completely contradicting the narrative built by major networks. MRC caught multiple high profile anchors on tape aggressively running public relations campaigns for the former health official. Network hosts on MSNBC and CNN were shown aggressively pushing back against congressional oversight, demanding that the public always say thank you to Fauci and lashing out because a national hero had been turned into a political villain by half the country. MRC analysts specifically exposed how journalists like Joe Scarborough used their platforms to smugly mock the lab leak theory in defense of Fauci. The media repeatedly threw their unwavering support behind a highly questionable bureaucratic figure simply because he acted as a constant thorn in the side of Donald Trump, a bias that has blown up in their faces in light of official government intelligence updates. MRC Exposes American Media Blackout on Mass Abuse Report Involving British Girls A disturbing investigation by MRC confirms that the American corporate news media has completely censored a horrific international scandal regarding mass sexual abuse in the United Kingdom. A comprehensive 219 page independent report documented decades of systematic trafficking and abuse perpetrated against roughly 250,000 underage British girls, a massive modern atrocity that has failed to receive a single second of airtime in America. MRC monitored left leaning cable and broadcast networks including CNN, MS NOW, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS, finding zero on air mentions of the report days after its initial publication. This total blackout occurred despite the fact that these same networks routinely cover British politics and even featured lengthy interviews with British journalists who completely avoided discussing the quarter of a million victims in their own country. According to MRC, the driving force behind this severe media censorship is political protectionism. Outlets are intentionally burying the massive human rights crisis out of a deep fear that coverage would fuel anti immigration sentiment and open borders criticism within the United States, thereby prioritizing partisan border agendas over the safety and suffering of hundreds of thousands of children.
