Subbing in for ABC’s “This Week,” Jon Karl delivered a classic sleight-of-hand take on Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) discussing the Supreme Court’s recent stance on bump stocks. However, the limelight-laden assault on Senate Scott turned out fruitless for Karl.

Senator Scott threw a tough punch, continuing to shine a glaring light on the escalating crime rates assailing the nation under President Biden’s watch. He responded by saying we should be focusing on the rising tide of violent crime that’s marked the most significant surge in his lifetime. Scott spotlighted how a potential second term for Donald Trump could bring back the respect for law enforcement missing in Biden’s era.

Scott didn’t hold back highlighting that Biden’s administration seemed more interested in defunding the police than supporting communities like his that faced the brutal brunt of surging crime unseen in five decades.

Trying to scramble back, Karl tried to cite Biden administration’s stats that claim a decline in violent crime and the murder rate this past year. But Senator Scott was ready, capturing the grim reality of over 4,000 shootings in Chicago alone, despite any statistical anomalies.

Karl’s attempts at cornering Scott on controversial matters such as Trump’s return to Capitol Hill, tariffs, and validating the 2024 election all came up short as they skipped by key issues like the Supreme Court’s recent bump stock verdict.

It’s a disappointing dismissal, given that Karl, instead of engaging in substantive debates on relevant issues, opted for a partisan hit job. The Supreme Court’s set in stone decision, the shooting-spree claims in Chicago, law enforcement standing under Trump’s Presidency, or the terrifying grip of violent crime in neighborhoods under Biden’s administration clearly took the backseat in Karl’s narrative.

In a nutshell, this interview reaffirms the biased leanings of large news corporations like ABC, reinforcing the validity of conservative claims about left-leaning media outfits conducting interviews with preconceived notions, seeking to propagate distinct narratives rather than thorough, unbiased reporting.

So, while Karl took a meandering stroll down the path of provocative questionings, it only revealed a partisan ideology preference that sought attention-seeking headlines over an actual exchange on vital matters. Ironically, Karl’s covert dig turned out to be a clear revelation of ABC’s biased sourcing that conservatives have been vocally critical of.

In the face of such journalistic failure, one must question when our news broadcast will genuinely return to its core mission of informing the public on critical matters rather than giving us disappointing reruns of partisan biases.
