6 Stories The Media Ignored This Month

One of the easiest ways to confirm media bias is this: Did you ever notice that, of all the stories in the world, the legacy media outlets cover the exact same handful of topics each night? Each one may have a few exclusive details or interviews, but the stories rarely change. Despite differing production values and journalistic personalities, the content of most newscasts is completely interchangeable.

The lockstep coverage of the legacy media leaves a huge number of important stories to be covered in greater depth. Here are three of the top stories the legacy media ignored this month.

Kamala Harris’ response to her National Space Council video

The Biden-Harris administration gouged its most recent, self-inflicted wound by releasing a video of Vice President Kamala Harris talking to schoolchildren about the National Space Council. “I love the idea of exploring the unknown,” Harris told them, raising her open palms toward the skies. “You’re going to literally see the craters on the moon with your own eyes!

The notion that the vice president is congenitally inauthentic was only deepened by the news that the video featured child actors who auditioned to have Harris talk down to them. “All five of them are actors,” Carlo Bernardino, the father of one of the actors, said about the cast. The segment was produced by a Canadian production company known as Sinking Ship Entertainment. A spokesman for YouTube confirmed that it selected the child actors and that the performers were compensated for their work. That set off alarms among those who had served in previous administrations. “It is not common for anybody in the government, particularly the White House, to pay people to sit in your videos,” said former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer on Fox News. “That’s called fake news.”

But the story the media missed is not the video; it’s the vice president’s response to the fallout, which certainly did not improve her reputation for honesty and integrity. Someone in the administration sent out a misleading comment implying that the children were not actors at all.

In a bout of damage control, an anonymous White House official rushed out
