The Big Three television networks are so in the tank for liberals and Democrats that they believe they are the normal mainstream and any other viewpoint to the Right is simply extreme and should be labeled that way, according to a post-election review of news from ABC, CBS, and NBC.
The Big Three “refuse even to acknowledge the existence of a far-Left,” according to the Newsbusters report from the Media Research Center.

“In fact, since the 2022 midterms, they have not applied that label to any group or individual even a single time,” read the report shared with Secrets.
Bill D’Agostino, MRC’s news editor, said that the Big Three splashed labels of “far Right,” “extreme Right,” and “ultraconservative” 101 times on morning and evening news shows and their Sunday public affairs shows.
Only once did a host, NBC Meet the Press chief Chuck Todd, mention the “far Left,” but he did not direct it to anyone in particular.

By comparison, lawmakers and conservative organizers were smeared with “far Right” and other politically charged phrases repeatedly.
D’Agostino reported:
“‘Far-Right’ and similar labels were applied to a very wide array of individuals. Republican members of Congress were by far the most heavily labeled group (38 times), followed by general references such as ‘the far Right,’ or ‘extreme rightwing Twitter users’ (19 times). There were 12 instances of labeling for the administration of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 11 cases for the Oathkeepers, 10 cases for the radical German group that attempted a coup in late 2022, and five for the supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. All others were labeled only once or twice.”
