White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went off on the leftwing media during a press briefing on Monday, highlighting their refusal to cover illegal alien crime, namely the murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago.
The teenage girl was shot and killed near campus in Chicago, Illinois, about a week ago by a 25-year-old illegal alien who entered the US under the Biden Regime and was later arrested, then released from local custody under Chicago’s sanctuary city policies.
Amid the ongoing Democrat-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, it makes sense that the liberal media does not want to cover a story that alerts the American people to dangerous illegal aliens and warrants more ICE agents and deportations.
“It’s despicable that Democrats are currently defunding the department that’s responsible for removing illegal aliens like that,” Leavitt said on Monday. “And I would also add, it’s despicable that the lack of coverage of this young woman’s case, of her life, and the way that it was tragically cut short.”
She then pointed to a survey showing that ABC spent just over one minute covering the story on its network, while CBS had two minutes of coverage, and NBC gave Gorman’s tragic murder only 23 seconds of airtime.
“I think her life was worth more than 23 seconds on cable television, and I think the people in this room have a responsibility to report on cases like this because it just exemplifies why the President believes so strongly in deporting illegal aliens from our communities,” Leavitt said in her brutal takedown of the biased press.

Leavitt: Just last week, Sheridan Gorman, a young woman in Chicago, was shot and killed on the street walking with her friends outside of her university, by illegal alien from Venezuela who had no right to be here in the first place. And it’s despicable that Democrats are currently defunding the department that’s responsible for removing illegal aliens like that. And I would also add, it’s despicable that the lack of coverage of this young woman’s case, of her life, and the way that it was tragically cut short.
I saw a survey over the weekend that I’d like to bring to all of your attention. This is the media coverage of the case of Sheridan Gorman. You have ABC News has spent one minute and 19 seconds between two days when this case was first alerted. You have CBS, two minutes and one second. You have NBC, 23 seconds spent on the life of a young, beautiful American woman whose life was taken short by an illegal alien who should have never been here in the first place, when we are in the middle of a battle on Capitol Hill with a major political party, the Democrat Party, who wants to defund the agency that is responsible for protecting Americans.
I think her life was worth more than 23 seconds on cable television, and I think the people in this room have a responsibility to report on cases like this because it just exemplifies why the President believes so strongly in deporting illegal aliens from our communities.
Worse than ABC, CBS, and NBC, CNN and MS NOW haven’t even touched the story or mentioned Gorman’s name on their networks outside of carrying live speeches where her name was mentioned!
Per Media Research Center,
While ABC, CBS, and NBC have shown scant interest — just three minutes and 43 seconds — on their lead morning and evening shows in covering University of Loyola Chicago student Sheridan Gorman’s brutal March 19 murder, CNN and MS NOW have been even less interested in reporting on the murder allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien from Venezuela as neither has dedicated a single on-air story to this crime.
While there hasn’t been a single news report or dedicated segment to Gorman and the case, she has been either directly or indirectly mentioned 11 times on CNN and once on MS NOW in live remarks from the White House or Capitol Hill, or statements by Republican guests. In other words, Gorman’s name has not once been uttered by a host, reporter, or even paid network contributor.
Media Research Center analysts searched CNN’s transcripts page, Nexis, and Snapstream closed captioning searches from the evening of March 19 (specifically 8:00 p.m. Eastern, the first full hour after news broke of the suspect’s identity) through March 30, looking for mentions Sheridan Gorman (including separate searches for her first name, last name, and both), Chicago, and Loyola.
As of this story’s publication, these searches spanned 186 possible hours of news programming on CNN and 151 hours on MS NOW.
The only time MS NOW viewers might have been inclined to research for Gorman’s case came Friday afternoon when it carried remarks from Speaker Mike Johnson about Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding
