Against ... Has Hit New High ... More Than 9\/10 at ...s\">calls overwhelmingly negative coverage<\/a> of an ICE operation in Minneapolis after the Jan. 7 death of Renee Good. Citing a Media Research Center analysis, the article says ABC, CBS and NBC portrayed ICE negatively 93% of the time between Jan. 7 and Jan. 17. It recounts the incident-Good allegedly ignored officers&#8217; orders and struck an ICE agent with her vehicle, after which the agent shot and killed her-and argues that mainstream outlets and left-leaning journalists used the episode to paint ICE as a villain and to attack former President Trump. The author compares this coverage to past negative reporting on Trump, asserts that nightly network news is outdated and losing credibility, and points to widespread social-media distrust of the press. The piece concludes that, despite pervasive media bias, the outlets have failed to convince a majority of Americans, which the author presents as a &#8220;silver lining.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you look hard enough, you can find a silver lining, even in the atrocious behavior of the establishment media.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, to find that silver lining, you must first sift through weeks of actual media coverage.<\/p>\n<p>In a new study of ABC&rsquo;s &ldquo;World News Tonight,&rdquo; &ldquo;CBS Evening News,&rdquo; and &ldquo;NBC Nightly News,&rdquo; analysts at <a href=\"https:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/bill-dagostino\/2026\/01\/20\/study-tv-news-hammers-ice-border-enforcement-93-negative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media Research Center<\/a> found that from Jan. 7 to Jan. 17, those three networks&rsquo; coverage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, agents&rsquo; ongoing operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota, rated as negative an unfathomable 93 percent of the time, exceeding the amount of negative coverage those same networks have given to President Donald Trump in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 7, anti-ICE activist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/opinion-thanks-woke-mind-virus-renee-goods-son-6-will-grow-without-parents-satan-used-abused-abandoned-woman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Renee Good<\/a> lost her life after trying to impede an ICE operation with her vehicle.
