The performance of some within the Elitist Media in covering the shooting of Nicole Renee Good can lead a reasonable individual to believe that they are openly rooting for another round of “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests similar to what we saw during 2020’s “Summer of Love.” Case in point, the latest report on the shooting to air on the CBS Evening News.
Watch as correspondent Nicole Sganga shockingly refers to the incident as a “murder:”

NICOLE SGANGA: DHS this weekend released a video showing the minutes leading up to the murder of Renee Good. She and others are heard honking car horns. Trump administration officials have claimed she intended to ram ICE agents before she was shot.
The use of video here was selective. Sganga did not incorporate the officer’s cellphone video which showed significant contact between the parties, and showed the ICE agent’s perspective as he was taunted and subsequently struck by the vehicle AFTER Good was given a lawful command to exit.
For Sganga to utter “murder” here is simply breathtaking in the face of readily available evidence. This is sufficient to lead us to conclude that Sganga is at least wishing for riots.
The rest of the report is kind of boilerplate: there is the opening covering the lawsuit against Minnesota, the aforementioned “murder” mention, and an interview with Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino. Sganga then brings on Samantha Vinograd, who suggests that they aren’t real officers. Sganga offers no pushback on this point, which further serves to inflame viewers.
As our own Curtis Houck points out, the media mob bray about the revamped CBS Evening News being a “MAGA-coded newscast.” Nothing could be further from the truth and, if this report is any indication, CBS has a looooooong way to go.

TONY DOKOUPIL: We’re going to turn to Minnesota and the new reactions coming in after last week’s deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent. The Minneapolis police chief told The New York Times the shooting was, quote: “predictable,” and as he put it, “entirely preventable.” Nicole Sganga has late developments from Minneapolis.
KEITH ELLISON: DHS is not above the law, and the people of Minnesota are certainly not beneath it.
NICOLE SGANGA: Minnesota announced today it’s the Department of Homeland Security. The state joins Illinois in filings that argue the sweeping federal immigration operation in each state has violated federal law.
JACOB FREY: We are asking this federal government to stop the unconstitutional conduct that is invading our streets each and every day.
SGANGA: DHS this weekend released a video showing the minutes leading up to the murder of Renee Good. She and others are heard honking car horns. Trump administration officials have claimed she intended to ram ICE agents before she was shot. We were there as federal agents deployed pepper balls and tear gas against protesters on Sunday, led by Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, who says immigration operations on the ground will continue.
We watched as you confronted protesters right there. It didn’t look like de-escalation but are you trying to send a message.
GREG BOVINO: The agitators and the rioters here in Minneapolis need to understand that our operations will continue unabated despite the violence they perpetrate against law enforcement.
SAMANTHA VINOGRAD: ICE officers and agents aren’t patrol cops.
SGANGA: CBS News National Security Contributor Sam Vinograd says that ICE is moving from targeted arrests to street-level patrols.
VINOGRAD: ICE personnel are being asked to do a different kind of enforcement mission, with less training and perhaps not the right training.
SGANGA: DHS has called Minnesota’s lawsuit “baseless”, and in a statement released last night, Renee Good’s family describes her as “Optimistic and hopeful with a seemingly infinite capacity for love.” Tony.
DOKOUPIL: Nicole Sganga with us, the sound of protests there behind her. Nicole, thank you very much.
