We are often reminded that one of the main purposes of the Elitist Media Evening News is not so much to convey actual news but to distract viewers for 22 minutes and lead them to believe they watched the news. Meanwhile, important stories slip past the American public. Here are but a few of them.
Fairfax County, Virginia awakened to news Monday morning of a woman horrifically stabbed to death in a local park. A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of…you guessed it- an illegal alien. Per ABC 7:
A 19-year-old illegal immigrant has been arrested after a woman was found stabbed to death and doused in gasoline near her car in Great Falls earlier this week.Fairfax County police said detectives arrested Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, 19, in connection with the homicide of 42-year-old Carmen Lizet Puch.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to 7News that Cedillos-Campos is from El Salvador.He was arrested by border patrol agents in April 2024 after illegally crossing into the U.S. near El Paso, Texas, under the Biden administration. He was later released back into the country, DHS said.
Additionally, multiple outlets report that the stabber had an “intimate relationship” with the victim, who was his coworker at a local restaurant. A knife and latex gloves stolen from the restaurant were used in the murder. There was not a second to spare for this on the evening news.
In other unreported news, a man was sentenced for attempting to assassinate Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Per the Department of Justice:
Ryan Michael English, 26, of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court to 73 months in prison in connection with an attempt to assassinate then-cabinet member nominee Scott Bessent with Molotov cocktails fashioned from bottles of vodka, and for carrying a folding knife onto the Grounds of the Capitol, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. English, aka “Raleigh Jane English,” pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras to one count of unlawful receipt, possession, and/or transfer of a firearm and one count of carrying a firearm, dangerous weapon, explosive, or incendiary device on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. In addition to the 73-month prison term, Judge Contreras ordered English to serve three years of supervised release. Federal prosecutors had requested a prison term of 121 months.
As was the case with the man who attempted to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it appears that there was some manner of gender transition between arraignment and sentencing. Hence the various reports on a “woman” sentenced for the Bessent murder plot: such as this one from WashPost. Whether man or woman attempting to kill Bessent, no Elitist Media evening newscast covered it.
Finally, there is the Tajik man who was declared not guilty of murder by reason of insanity in 2019 but remanded to a Virginia state mental hospital. He received a 48-hour freedom pass in 2024 wherein he obtained his passport. Last month he received another such pass and…fled to Tajikistan. Per The New York Post:
Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda left the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute (NVMHI) on July 6 for an authorized 48-hour pass. He was required to return two days later, but he never did, FOX 5 reported, citing court documents.Instead, Toshpulodzoda traveled to Washington Dulles International Airport and boarded a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul before continuing to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, court documents show.“The Acquittee failed to return to NVMHI on July 8, 2026, as required,” the filing states.
Virginia, yet again. And again, there was zero coverage on the evening news. So what news did viewers get instead?
ABC World News Tonight treated viewers to a glossy David Muir longform special on the Colorado River that sucked up the last 10 minutes of A-block. All three networks put Prince Harry’s decision to self-deport to the UK on A-block. ABC and NBC Nightly News did non-update updates on the death of Hayden Panettiere despite the full tox screen results being weeks away. NBC did the brawl at the Cowboys/Saints joint practice, the CBS Evening News did a misspelled street sign and ABC closed out with cute baby penguins.
As you can clearly see, there was simply no time to cover illegal alien crime and the resolution to the attempted murder of yet ANOTHER member of the Trump administration. We are reminded yet again that what doesn’t get covered is often more important than what is.
