The ABC, CBS and NBC evening networks ignored a damning story connecting “Boston Bomber” Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to President Joe Biden’s disastrous stimulus bill.
Boston 25 News reported Jan. 5 that Tsarnaev “received a $1,400 COVID relief payment” on June 22, 2021, according to a document filed by prosecutors. This date indicates that Tsarnaev was paid just three months after Biden’s massive $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimuli March 11. It included $1,400 checks. Newsweek noted in its write-up that “Prisoners were largely eligible to receive $1,400 payments included in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that President Joe Biden signed into law last March.” In 2013, Tsarnaev was involved in the detonation of a pair of homemade bombs amidst a crowd watching the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring “more than 260” people. Tsarnaev was initially sentenced to death in connection with his crimes. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals For the First Circuit overturned that sentence in 2020. A shocking act of journalistic fraud, ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News And NBC Nightly News The story was not covered by their broadcasts on Jan. 5, at 5 PM.

Fox and Friends that left-wing senators in Congress voting for Biden’s stimulus were making “every prisoner in the United States — if they have any tax forms filed” eligible for a stimulus check. He even specifically cautioned that the “Boston Bomber” could potentially receive a check under the Biden stimulus. Cotton seems to have been right. “The Democrats had a chance to stop that from happening on [March 6]It was rejected by them. I suspect you’ll be hearing more about that next year on the campaign trail,” Cotton predicted.
American tax dollars are at work
It seems that networks won’t cover any stories linking the left with violent criminals. In another story Jan. 5, “newly minted District Attorney Alvin Bragg promised to allow violent criminals to walk free as part of his progressive Democratic criminal justice reform plan.” Instead of covering that news, as Fox News’Special Report According to the report, networks spent 22 minutes and 16 second on Jan. 6 Capitol Riots and related topics.
