Media Blackout on Antifa Convictions, Say No Agenda Hosts

The hosts of the No Agenda Show, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, argue in Episode 1880 that mainstream media deliberately downplayed the first federal Antifa terrorism convictions in U.S. history. The episode, titled "Antifa Book Club" and published June 25, 2026, dissects what the hosts call a media blackout on the Fort Worth sentencing of eight defendants to a combined 450 years. Instead, they say, network newscasts focused on the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool as a distraction.

In their signature 3x3 segment, Curry and Dvorak compared coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC, finding no mention of the Antifa convictions. They then highlighted independent journalist Andy Ngo's reporting that one defendant received 100 years. "You don't want to promote this story. You want to talk about the reflecting pool and give people ideas," Dvorak said of the blackout. The hosts also criticized PBS NewsHour for framing the Antifa sentences against January 6 defendants.

The episode weaves multiple storylines through its media-deconstruction lens. Key topics include J.D. Vance's Bloomberg explanation of unfrozen Iranian assets funneled into American soy, corn, and wheat purchases; Tulsi Gabbard's revelations about Anthony Fauci and overseas bio labs; Mark Rutte's "Trump Trillion" PowerPoint at the White House; and the Senate war powers reversal after Bill Cassidy flipped following a closed-door meeting with the president.

Curry recounted binge-watching The West Wing with his wife Tina, calling the Aaron Sorkin series "total mind control propaganda for the Democrat Party." The hosts also examined the Emma Goldman Reading Society defense raised by cooperating witnesses, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's statement on Antifa terrorists, and the National Security Presidential Memo 7 signed after Charlie Kirk's murder. Other threads include Tucker Carlson's declaration that he is leaving the Republican Party, Zohran Mamdani's Prophet Muhammad speech, a fatal Tesla autopilot crash in Katy, Texas, Trump's quantum executive orders, the Mythos AI security panic from Anthropic, and a $6.5 billion Medicare fraud sweep announced by RFK Jr. and Kash Patel.
