‘Big Three’ Ignore Jailed Marine’s Mother’s Testimony Before Congress

Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi has been jailed in a Mexican prison for the past nine months for accidentally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border with several firearms. Since his arrest, the “big three” (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks have barely covered the story on their morning or evening newscasts despite numerous efforts to get him released. On Wednesday, Sergeant Tahmooressi’s mother appeared before a House committee asking them to support a resolution calling for her son’s return to America but unsurprisingly all three network morning newscasts ignored her testimony on Capitol Hill.
