Each day, MRC’s Watchdogs monitor the most influential media narratives, separating what matters from what is manufactured. The goal is not outrage, but clarity. Below are today’s key findings and what they reveal about how the media and Big Tech shape public understanding.

🔍Sunday Show Hosts vs. Reality
MRC documented how Sunday show hosts aggressively fact-check Donald Trump and his allies in real time while allowing Democrats to make serious accusations without pushback. On CNN and NBC, claims tying Trump to violence and greed went unchallenged. On CBS, a Venezuelan democracy advocate who praised Trump was subjected to tougher scrutiny than many U.S. politicians. The pattern shows that “fact-checking” is applied selectively.

🖋️Breaking News Apparently: Fonts Are Fascism Now
Yes, really. The media melted down over the State Department switching back to Times New Roman. It was breathlessly framed as an attack on diversity, accessibility, and possibly puppies. Our analysis confirms this is the smallest Trump-related “scandal” in recorded history.

🎄The Annual Media War on Christmas
Right on schedule, elite outlets rolled out their yearly “Why I Hate Christmas” content. We tracked how this Grinch-industrial complex turns a religious holiday into clickbait misery, and why it matters for culture and kids.

📚Wikipedia’s Source Bias, Proven With Data
Our Free Speech America team crunched the data across all languages. Wikipedia cites left-wing outlets nearly 20 times more often than right-leaning ones. This is not accidental. It is baked into their rules, their blacklists, and their agenda. We proved it. The result is political bias embedded into a platform many Americans treat as neutral fact.

🍎Apple News’ Near-Total Exclusion of Conservative Media
Throughout November, Apple News featured only one right-leaning outlet in its top stories out of 560 articles reviewed. No major U.S. conservative outlets appeared, despite their large audiences. The lone right-leaning article was locked behind a paywall. MRC’s analysis shows Apple News curates ideology, not demand.

Media narratives do not form by accident. Daily, disciplined monitoring remains essential as media and technology increasingly shape public perception.

What are the truth-tellers saying?
“As for this idea that NPR and PBS are ‘news organizations,’ our pals at NewsBusters put that absurd claim to rest.”
