Sometimes, the legacy media’s bias is so open, so shameless, that it’s jaw-dropping. It’s been this way since the Nixon years, when we watched on cumbersome tube televisions (as the youngest, I was always the kid who had to get up and change the channel) as the news programs took an almost gleeful tone at President Nixon’s troubles. The rise of the internet just made matters worse; while we got some balance with the rise of the alternative media, like this site, the legacy media abandoned any pretext of objectivity.
Case in point: Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, on Sunday, appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” and they did an absolutely shameless edit of her statement about the illegal alien, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety.

Watch for the part of my interview that @CBS tried to cover up.
Here is her statement that was presented on CBS:
And the one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure he (Abrego Garcia) doesn’t walk free in the United States of America.
Here’s what they cut; as you listen, think about whether this might be important information for their viewers to have to form an accurate opinion on this case:
This individual was a known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing, how he was treating small children. So he needs to never be in the United States of America, and our administration is making sure we are doing all that we can to bring him to justice.
Note that the first statement, the part CBS aired, gave you a small piece of the “what.” They left all of the “why” on the cutting-room floor. And there is a lot of “why” there.

This is journalistic malpractice of the first water. Oh, it’s a near-certainty that, if called on this, CBS will claim that all interviews are edited for time (probably true) and that only unimportant information is cut (demonstrably false). They will also claim that political bias is not a part of any editing calls (laughably false). What “Face the Nation” has done here is to obfuscate an important issue of the day. This case is just one of many where the Trump administration is trying to move illegal aliens out of the country, which the left and the legacy media (but I repeat myself) are pulling out all the stops to halt any repatriation. CBS, in this instance, deprived its viewers of critical information, in this case, namely, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s criminal background. He’s an alleged thug, pervert, and wife beater in addition to being an illegal alien, and any honest news organization would present all this information, so their viewers could make an informed decision.
But then, it’s been some years since CBS was anything like an honest news organization.
Editor’s Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
