Back to Bias by Omission: ABC, CBS Wave Goodbye to Covering Charlotte Light Rail Murder
10th September 2025
Despite having only each covered it once Monday, ABC and CBS were back Tuesday to ignoring video released in the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, omitting it from their flagship morning shows, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings.
This return to a bias by omission came after Monday’s CBS Mornings broke the blackout on the lead broadcast network newscasts of this bloody, horrifying, and unprovoked attack while ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News arrived on scene later in the day.
…
This leaves the total network coverage of the murder at just under six and a half minutes between ABC, CBS, and NBC, a paltry number compared to, say, the Daniel Penny case or even the Epstein files.
