On the heels of President Obama and Senate Democrats achieving the minimum threshold on Wednesday to preserve the Iran nuclear deal, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC applauded during their evening newscasts the “unstoppable” “done deal” that had Secretary of State John Kerry taking “a victory lap.”

Even though the American people remain largely opposed to the deal (along with a majority of their representatives in Congress), ABC’s World News Tonight anchor David Muir still hailed it as “[a] big victory for President Obama” despite it coming “under fire, of course, from Republicans threatening to defeat it” (having failed to mention how two Democratic Senators oppose it).
