There are several major stories swirling around the United States Supreme Court that have gone grossly undercovered or outright ignored by the Elitist Media. It’s as if the media didn’t want their viewers learning about an inconvenient ruling and a pivotal argument, both against major policy items for the left.
First, there is the Supreme Court 8-1 opinion (with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson the sole dissenter) declaring that Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” likely violates constitutional free exercise protections. ABC World News Tonight was the sole network newscast to carry the story. Below is that report in its entirety, as aired on Tuesday, March 31st, 2026:

DAVID MUIR: Tonight, after the state of Colorado had banned conversion therapy for LGBTQ minors. Tonight, the Supreme Court now ruling against that ban. In an 8-1 decision, the justices saying the law likely violates a Christian therapist’s free speech. More than half the states have in the U.S. have similar laws like Colorado had, restricting the practice saying it is ineffective and harmful to minors.
Despite it being a 22-second brief, Muir found the time to mourn the ban on conversion therapy, therefore mourning a Christian therapist’s ability to render the care they believe is appropriate. But at least Muir covered the Court opinion, which is far more than can be said for CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News.
These other newscasts stuffed their time with stories about handcuffed women jumping out of patrol cars with the windows down, and the Indiana man who stole a beer truck and was arrested for DUI. Had the Court ruled the other way, I’m pretty sure the story would’ve been reported across the aisle had the ruling gone the other way.
The networks also kept quiet about a major hearing on Wednesday, which will be attended in person by President Trump and will center on the 14th Amendment constitutionality of granting automatic U.S. citizenship to the children of illegal aliens, etc. Per NBC News:
The Supreme Court agreed in December to hear the case after lower courts ruled against Trump’s plan to end automatic birthright citizenship for almost anyone born in the U.S.
The 14th Amendment has long been interpreted to protect birthright citizenship, as it states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”
The Trump administration is pushing back against the longtime interpretation of that clause.
A reversion of the existing definition of birthright citizenship would help provide further legal justification for additional immigration restrictions, including increased deportations. Given the stakes of the hearing, which President Trump has indicated he will attend in person, it is odd that the network news wouldn’t at least give the story a brief.
But as is often the case with stories such as these, they get buried. It is (D)ifferent, after all.
