SUNDAY SHOW OMISSION ROUNDUP: Mexico, Minnesota, and (Mostly) Platner

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows run a tight choreography, avoiding certain uncomfortable and inconvenient subjects in near unison. If it doesn’t fuel Trump derangement, it doesn’t run. The result being that many important political stories don’t get discussed because they might lead to the “wrong” kind of political discussion.
Such is the case with the Minnesota fraud raids. These have gone largely uncovered, save for an item on NBC Nightly News. You can rest assured that the Sunday shows would be all over the feds potentially investigating a GOP vice presidential nominee (and his Attorney General) due to allegations of massive public assistance fraud. This item would run at the top of the shows, and Republicans would be dragged in for hostile interviews.
However, there is no such coverage for Tim Walz, or for the ongoing fraud investigation. There are no Democrats booked with the expectation that they’ll be asked to explain allegations of fraud just six months from the midterm election.
Likewise, the Department of Justice’s indictment of multiple senior government officials in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, home to the notorious cartel formerly headed by “El Chapo” Guzmán, starting with the state’s governor. Only PBS News Hour deigned to do a brief item on the indictments, but not a second to spare on the rest of the broadcast nightlies or on the Sunday shows.
