Major networks have displayed a bias by favoring narratives that portray Venezuelan gangsters as victims of Trump’s deportation policies, while neglecting the implications of gang violence. This reporting emphasizes negativity around Trump’s actions and tends to exclude narratives acknowledging the decrease in illegal immigration. Critiques of Trump’s policies often carry a historical connotation, inaccurately framing past injustices without full context.

In an alarming display of broadcast bias, networks such as ABC, CBS, and NBC have reportedly adopted the role of advocates for Venezuelan gangsters, echoing a narrative akin to that of criminal defense attorneys. This shift in media portrayal underscores how figures deported under Trump’s policies are framed as innocent victims regardless of the severity of their crimes.

Judge James Boasberg is another focal point, portrayed by networks as a hero for ordering Venezuelan gangsters to be returned to the United States. It is essential to note that he was appointed by President Obama and has criticized Trump’s actions. NBC even highlighted that it had tracked multiple rulings that blocked Trump’s initiatives, implying a consensus among federal judges against his policies.

The recent situation involving the Tren de Aragua gang in Colorado sparked a confrontation between ABC anchor Martha Raddatz and former vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. When Raddatz minimized the gang’s takeover of apartment buildings, Vance countered with the poignant inquiry of whether she would find a mere handful of homes problematic if they were taken over.

During an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan attempted to question Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding migrant crime, to which Rubio advised her to stay informed about the news. Correspondents have also drawn comparisons between Trump’s deportation policies of Venezuelans to past injustices, including the internment of Japanese-Americans, notably without acknowledging key historical facts regarding the presidents involved.

The networks have continuously framed the current deportations under a negative light, emphasizing an “absence of due process” and employing phrases like “centuries-old law” while neglecting to name victims of violent crime by illegal immigrants. This fails to recognize the tragic reality faced by innocent American citizens.

In a rather dramatic narrative approach, CBS’s John Dickerson cited historical instances of Irish Americans facing deportation during St. Patrick’s Day coverage. With the legal advocacy against the Trump administration’s deportations, the ACLU’s involvement was also highlighted but without sufficient contextualization of the historical precedents.

The media narrative frequently appears to criticize Trump for the reduction of illegal immigration rates, a fact they may consider counterproductive to their messages. Notably, despite the significant drop in unlawful crossings, which could be viewed as an achievement, these networks overlook such milestones and maintain a decidedly negative framing of Trump.

Evidence suggests that network coverage of Trump has consistently leaned towards negativity, with past studies indicating that around 90% of his coverage was unfavorable. In contrast, early coverage of President Biden demonstrated greater positivity amidst policy shifts that included the reversal of many of Trump’s border controls.

In summary, the recent coverage by major networks portrays a distinct bias against President Trump and his administration’s policies. By framing deported Venezuelan gangsters as victims, neglecting to discuss the negative impacts of gang violence, and highlighting selective historical comparisons, these networks attempt to shape public opinion through a narrative that often lacks balance and context. The implications of this bias extend beyond mere reporting, influencing public perception of immigration policies and their consequences.
