Broadcast networks' bias against ICE is evident in their demonization of the agency as 'Trump's Gestapo' and downplaying of attacks on them. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat, labeled ICE agents as 'Trump’s modern-day Gestapo' and accused them of 'scooping folks up off the streets.' This stance is in stark contrast to the previous administration's view of ICE, which was only four months earlier. The national broadcast networks and 'independent fact-checkers' failed to find this objectionable or newsworthy, despite the comparison to Hitler being a common Democrat talking point. The networks' lack of coverage and criticism of ICE's demonization is concerning. In September, an illegal alien in Chicago ran over and dragged an ICE agent until the alien was shot dead, but the broadcast networks showed no sympathy for the victim. The death of Renee Nicole Good, who threatened to drive into an ICE agent, is a tragedy. Activists like Good, who protest ICE by showing up wherever they enforce the law and film it on their phones, are exercising their First Amendment rights, but it's a crime to impede law enforcement. The broadcast networks' coverage of Good's death was lacking in energy and outrage, in contrast to their coverage of women killed by illegal immigrants. The networks' selective outrage and bias are evident in their coverage of illegal immigrants, such as the rape and murder of Jocelyn Nungaray and Rachel Morin, and the trial of Laken Riley's illegal-immigrant killer. The networks' bias is also seen in their support for politicians like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who demands ICE 'get the f---out of Minneapolis.' Frey's rhetoric and the networks' coverage raise questions about the true nature of 'keeping people safe.' The networks' use of the term 'without evidence' to dismiss the Trump administration's narrative is also suspicious, especially when it comes to the anti-ICE 'warrior' status of Renee Good. The networks' coverage of ICE and Trump is often biased and lacks objectivity, as seen in Jimmy Kimmel's comments and ABC's 'The View.' The networks' reluctance to criticize left-wing rhetoric and their selective outrage against ICE and Trump are concerning. Tim Graham, the Executive Editor of NewsBusters.org, highlights the networks' bias and the need for a more balanced approach to reporting on ICE and immigration issues.
