The broadcast networks can easily demonstrate their leftist bias in the way they cover entertainers.
asserted
they → demonstrate → entertainers
Those who use their fame for "good" are praised, and those who are the opposite – who lean Republican – are "controversial."

asserted
who → identify → networks
Last year, she made a provocative ad for blue jeans, making a pun with the word "good genes."
asserted
she → make → word
ABC News warned: "The play on words is being compared to Nazi propaganda with racial undertones," and then invoked professor Robin Landa proclaiming the pun was racist: "The American Eugenics Movement and its prime between 1900 and 1940 weaponized the idea of good genes just to justify white supremacism."
asserted
Movement → warn → supremacism
Right now, Sweeney is featured in mostly naked advertisements for a sports prediction market called Novig.
asserted
Sweeney → feature → market
On Sept. 14, "CBS Mornings" carried the feminist water, weirdly claiming the ad demeaned women’s sports.
asserted
ad → carry → sports
Adriana Diaz proclaimed, "Actor Sydney Sweeney`s appearance in a provocative ad campaign is drawing backlash, especially from female athletes."
asserted
appearance → proclaim → athletes
She reported the four-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ariarne Titmus called the ad "a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft."
asserted
who → report → craft
Clearly, Sweeney’s ad was directed at men who are likely to bet on men’s sports.
asserted
who → direct → sports
They noted that Sweeney responded with an Instagram post displaying athletes appearing mostly naked in ESPN Magazine’s "Body Issue."
asserted
athletes → note → Issue
Diaz pushed back: "So she is making that comparison, but people are really upset about this ….
asserted
people → push → this
She is not an athlete herself and she is objectifying women – I mean, many people believe."
asserted
people → objectify → women
Sweeney drew more negative coverage on the broadcast networks than Lindsay Clancy, who admitted to strangling her own three children.
asserted
who → draw → children

coverage → end → mistrial

asserted
who → draw → Gaza
On Sept. 15, ABC’s "World News Tonight" led the broadcast with "serious trouble" for Sheeran.

It comes after Macklemore was removed as the opening act over remarks he made in support of Palestinians."
asserted
he → come → Palestinians
ABC reporter Whit Johnson vaguely suggested Macklemore’s song "Hind’s Hall" was "a song he wrote about the pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses."
uncertain
he → suggest → campuses
In typical fashion, the song touts "f--- the police" and implies they’re racist: "Has always been about dollars and the color of your pigment / but White supremacy is finally on blast / Screaming ‘Free Palestine’ 'til they're home at last."
asserted
they → tout → Palestine
The lyrics include bashing Israel for colonialism, apartheid and genocide and attacking the "Nakba" – the Islamist term for "displacing the Palestinians" in creating Israel in 1948.
asserted
lyrics → include → 1948
Macklemore’s schtick is so upside-down that he’s hailing pro-Hamas protests and then calling the immigration police of ICE a "terrorist organization."
asserted
he → hail → ICE
On the "PBS News Hour," they brought on New York Times music-industry reporter Ben Sisario, who brought a similar vagueness about the Macklemore smears: "He also has a protest song that he released a couple of years ago, again about the war, and in it he accuses Israel of genocide, and he shows his solidarity with student protesters in the U.S. and in New York.
asserted
he → bring → York
So, his position has been widely known."
asserted
position → know → ?
Sisario tried to argue stadiums were more willing to allow antisemitic rapper Kanye West, and concluded: "I also think it is specifically about the political issue of the war in Gaza, and whether criticism of Israel's stance and Israel's actions in that war is considered allowable."
asserted
criticism → try → war
PBS routinely blasts Israel as a global pariah.
asserted
PBS → blast → pariah

asserted
coverage → end → mistrial
Poor Sheeran could have toured with many apolitical pop acts – like some recent winners of "The Voice" or "American Idol" – but he chose a White rapper who built his career on confessing his "White privilege" and trashing White people, a man Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro calls "the Colin Kaepernick of music," all about being celebrated by the left as a "social justice" champion.
uncertain
Shapiro → tour → champion
Sheeran lamented, "I’ve tried in my career to not be a political commentator of any kind because I want my music and shows to be about unity, not division, about humanity, not politics."
asserted
music → lament → politics
In response to the controversy, Macklemore announced a "Free Palestine Tour," scheduled for Dublin, Paris and London in October.
asserted
Macklemore → announce → October
It’s pretty gross, considering his Palestinian allies murdered 378 innocent people and took others hostage at the "pro-peace" Nova Music Festival near the Gaza border on Oct. 7, 2023.
asserted
allies → ’ → Oct.
That was part of the 1,200 they killed overall in the terror attack.
asserted
they → kill → attack
