  • Contrasting media perceptions of Abrego Garcia: Bias Breakdown
    Apr 22 2025
    In this episode of Bias Breakdown, we explore the contentious case of Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, whose deportation to El Salvador and alleged MS-13 gang ties have sparked a national debate. Media outlets across the political spectrum have framed his story in starkly contrasting ways: left-leaning sources emphasize his role as a father from Maryland who deserves a chance to return to the U.S. for due process, while conservative outlets focus on his alleged gang affiliations and undocumented status to justify his deportation. As the legal questions surrounding his removal and potential return remain unresolved, the case could ultimately return to the Supreme Court for further clarification. In episode 18 of Bias Breakdown, we analyze how these dramatically different portrayals are shaping public perception.
