ABC, CBS and NBC have sugarcoated the southern border, focusing on Title 42 and "plight of illegal immigrants" while ignoring drug trafficking, according to the Media Research Center.
MRC senior research analyst Bill D'Agostino examined ABC’s "World News Tonight," CBS’ "Evening News" and "NBC Nightly News" from October 1, 2022 through July 20, 2023 and found that coverage of the border "continued to focus almost exclusively on the plight of illegal immigrants."
