News concerning the mass kidnapping of Christians by ISIS in Syria worsened on Thursday with multiple reports from various human rights groups that raised the initial number of those taken from 150 to now at least 220. If you watched the network evening newscasts, though, you would not have known that if you had tuned into CBS or NBC.

This latest case of network bias by omission comes as NBC News has yet to cover this story on either Today or NBC Nightly News while CBS had covered it on the February 24 editions of CBS This Morning and the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley.
