In episode 39 of Bias Breakdown, we dive into how partisan media shapes public perception of ICE operations. Using the recent arrest of a Des Moines school superintendent as a case study, we explore how Fox and CBS reported the facts with different framing—one highlighting legal violations, the other emphasizing community support — leading audiences to vastly different conclusions. We also examine bias by omission, showing how networks selectively cover stories that fit their narratives while ignoring others. Tune in to understand how word choice, spin, and selective coverage influence the way Americans see immigration enforcement.
