Another Sunday has passed, and with it another cycle of omissive bias from the major legacy media political affairs shows. Two major political stories went undiscussed- both the ongoing fallout over the Jay Jones text scandal currently roiling the Virginia gubernatorial election, and the arrest of the Red Mass bomber exactly one week ago.
With regard to Jay Jones, the only Sunday show mention remains former Pence Chief of Staff Marc Short on the 10/5 broadcast of NBC’s Meet the Press. And this is an instance where he forced it on to the panel discussion, rather than something produced as a standalone segment on the show:
Consider where we are: on Meet the Depressed, former Pence CoS @marctshort calls out national Dem silence over VA AG candidate Jay Jones' disgusting, violent texts fantasizing about the murder of a political opponent and his family.

Since then, there have been additional allegations that Jones fantasized about dead police officers, and there was a gubernatorial debate where Democrat nominee Abby Spanberger stood impassively as Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears questioned her over and over with regard to Jones:

Had the partisan leanings of the offender been inverted, this would be a part of every rundown and panel discussion within the Acela Media, and certainly the Sunday shows. But for the second consecutive Sunday since the scandal broke, there was zero mention on the Sunday shows.
Likewise, there was no coverage of the Red Mass bomber. Per The Daily Wire:
Washington, D.C., police on Sunday arrested a man with hundreds of explosive devices outside a church holding a Mass in honor of the Supreme Court. The man had a manifesto that suggested he was targeting the Supreme Court and Catholics, according to court papers obtained by The Daily Wire.
Louis Geri, a 41-year-old from Arizona and New Jersey, was apprehended outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle on October 5, the same day the church held its annual “Red Mass” in which a cardinal prays for the high court as it embarks on a new term, and which is historically attended by justices.
This is part of the left-wing violence that the legacy media is all too willing to suppress while they frame immigration enforcement as the installation of an authoritarian regime. With the exception of CBS’s Face the Nation, which was devoted almost exclusively to foreign policy, the legacy Sunday shows made sure to work to further cast deployment of the National Guard to Chicago as violent.
Yet none of them discussed an actual plot to bomb members of the United States Supreme Court attending Mass in Washington, D.C. Together, they worked to further suppress actual leftwing violence- both with regard to Jay Jones and to the Red Mass bomber. As is often the case with the legacy media- if it weren’t for double standards they’d have none at all.
