It is now time for our latest installment in a long-running series of Elitist Media nightly newscast omissions of horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens. We take cold comfort in reporting that tonight’s omission is a partial one.
ABC’s World News Tonight was the only evening newscast to cover the death of a beloved Georgia school teacher after the vehicle she was driving was wrecked by an illegal alien fleeing ICE. Here is that report in its entirety, as aired on Monday, February 17th, 2026:
DAVID MUIR: Tonight, authorities say a schoolteacher was killed in a crash that they say was caused by a man trying to escape immigration agents in Savannah, Georgia. Police say agents were trying to pull over Oscar Vazquez Lopez when he hit the other car. Lopez was treated for injuries. Homeland Security tonight saying he was in the U.S. illegally, with an order of removal.
The brief, while…well, brief, was more coverage of this horrific and needless crash than was provided on CBS and NBC. The CBS Evening News chose instead to cover a non-lethal traffic accident: the truck that flew off the road and into an Oregon home. NBC eschewed traffic news altogether- choosing instead to report on a toddler that fell into an arcade claw machine.
We’re also thankful that the brief didn’t follow the style and language of the coverage of the crash on ABC’s website, which all but blamed ICE for the wreck as opposed to the illegal alien that caused it.
