CBS Lets Father Spread False ‘All-White’ Jury Claim In Teen Murder Case Without Challenge [WATCH]

CBS News once again demonstrated why millions of Americans have written off the legacy media as hopelessly biased.

In an interview following the conviction of Karmelo Anthony, a black teenager found guilty of murdering white teen Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet, the network allowed Anthony’s father to spread a flat-out falsehood about the jury’s racial makeup, and nobody on set dared correct him.

Andrew Anthony told CBS that what stood out to him during the trial was “the all-white jury.”

That soundbite aired nationwide with no effort from CBS to clarify that the jury was not, in fact, entirely white.

Court records and local reporting show the panel had minority members among the alternates, including individuals of Asian and Indian backgrounds.

But those facts did not fit the preferred narrative, so the network simply let the misleading claim stand.

The case in Frisco, Texas drew intense social media attention from the moment it began.

Critics accused local authorities and jurors of bias before a single piece of evidence was ever presented.

Yet testimony and surveillance footage convinced the jury that Anthony, despite being young, acted with clear intent in the killing of Austin Metcalf.

The verdict was unanimous. Still, the left and its media allies have treated Anthony as some kind of folk hero for a “racial injustice” that does not exist.

The road to the final jury had already been controversial.

Nearly six hundred citizens were called as potential jurors.

After standard vetting, several black prospective jurors were struck, including one who openly admitted he would “have a hard time putting a brother in jail.”

The defense cried foul, arguing through a Batson challenge that prosecutors removed African American candidates due to race.

The judge disagreed, ruling that the stated reasons for dismissal were legitimate, such as personal bias, local connections, and media exposure.

Those facts were public record by the time CBS sat down with the Anthony family.

Even so, the network let Andrew Anthony’s “all-white jury” remark pass without correction or context.

The interviewer did not challenge him, did not mention that Asian and Indian jurors were present as alternates, and certainly did not note that the court had already examined and rejected claims of illegal racial exclusion.

This pattern is familiar.

The leftwing media repeatedly amplifies false stories that feed a desired racial narrative, then quietly moves on when the facts prove inconvenient.

Stories like Ferguson, Jussie Smollett, and countless “police brutality” hoaxes follow the same playbook. Once again, racial grievance sells, while truth takes a back seat.

The fallout has been ugly. Radical activists and anti-white agitators flooded social media celebrating Metcalf’s death.

One former Dallas lawmaker even suggested exhuming Metcalf’s body to “stab it again.”

The comment racked up thousands of approving reactions online. That silence from the same media figures who pretend to care about peaceful social dialogue speaks volumes.

Meanwhile, black nationalist figures such as Charleston White are openly raising money for Anthony’s appeal, promising a one million dollar war chest.

White’s rhetoric has been nothing short of vile, calling on supporters to “kill both them peckerwoods,” referring to Austin Metcalf and his twin brother Hunter.

WATCH:

CBS has yet to condemn or even report on those threats, choosing instead to highlight the Anthony family’s “grief and hope” narrative.

Andrew Anthony’s interview was a perfect example of how legacy media manufactures division.

Rather than fact checking, CBS preferred a clip that painted the justice system as racist.

The truth, that due process worked and that a violent act resulted in a lawful conviction, offers no emotional value to a newsroom conditioned to chase outrage over accuracy.

Conservatives have long warned about this. It is not just about one misleading interview.

It is about a cultural ecosystem in which mainstream outlets selectively elevate voices that advance one racial narrative while ignoring any story that challenges it.

The people who still trust CBS and its peers are being misled not by error but by deliberate editorial choice.

If facts mattered at CBS News, producers would issue a correction acknowledging the jury’s true makeup and the legitimacy of the court’s handling of jury selection.

But that would mean telling viewers that a sensational claim was false, and sensationalism, not truth, is what drives viewership. The network chose activism over integrity.

This episode serves as another reminder that Americans cannot count on the old press to report facts free of political bias.

Whenever race enters a story, the script is already written before the cameras roll. Until the public refuses to play along, expect more lies dressed up as journalism.
