FIRST ON FOX -- Americans who rely on evening newscasts from ABC, CBS or NBC for information are likely unaware that elected officials going after former President Trump are Democrats, according to a new study from the Media Research Center.
"The network coverage of the Trump prosecutions routinely and fraudulently implies that they are nonpartisan public officials. It’s Trump versus the New York Attorney General, or the Manhattan District Attorney. They’re not just Democrats, they’re elected Democrats, building a career on taking down Trump. Leaving that out of the story is irresponsible," NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham told Fox News Digital.
Rich Noyes, contributing editor for MRC NewsBusters, led a team of analysts who reviewed "NBC Nightly News," "CBS Evening News" and ABC’s "World News Tonight" from January 1, 2023 through April 10, 2024. They found networks failed to inform viewers during at least 90% of coverage that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, and New York Attorney General Letitia James are Democrats.
"It’s as if the networks prefer to disingenuously portray the indictments and civil lawsuits as the work of nonpartisan career prosecutors, rather than as partisan attempts to use the court system to hobble the electoral prospects of the country’s top Republican," Noyes said.

They all have one mission. GET TRUMP!
So the Left will seek to control all sources of news. That includes TikTok and Twitter.
“And now...the latest in Republican Prosecutor Ken Starr’s investigation into the President’s personal life.” - Dan Rather, CBS evening news
Cover by omission.
It depends on how they report other prosecutions. As cross bearer posted, if they routinely identify the political affiliation when it goes the other way (republican prosecutor, republican appointed judge etc) then it displays a bias when they mainly only disclose it one way.
Like when they ignore the race or ethnicity of a suspect depending on the victim or the perpetrator
Unf I caught one of their reports on the FISA court.
Zero mention on the spying on Americans, all in on we’re endangering lives.
I think that I can recall a time period where unlawful spying on us was universally condemned-it may be my imagination.
Yes of course, they want the great unwashed to think this is all legit and according to Hoyle, so to speak. Every dirty trick the democrats can play, they’re playing it. This just goes along with all the rest. No surprise at all.
Journalism is quite dead and the carcass is rotting for all to see.
I’m an aging baby boomer and I dismissed them as the liars they are back in the early 70s. Yeah, it’s been going on at least that long.
If someone tried to look for fair, even handed and unbiased MSM coverage of Trump they would be like the wandering Diogenes carrying his lamp and searching for an honest man.
“He used his simple lifestyle and behavior to criticize the social values and institutions of what he saw as a corrupt, confused society.”
add the rest of the FakeWORLDmedia to the list. never a hint there’s any partidan angle to all these phony legal cases.
just as Biden is still being covered as if he were the most powerful man in the world...doing his little jog whenever they can find a way to include it.
And 90% of the Republicans in the House and Senate sit on their hands and don’t even fight the lawfare.
Where is the shocked face?
I don’t see how it makes any difference since no one watches them any more.
The media always covers for the democrat cartel the kickbacks are to good to pass up.
