After almost nine day of silence on the Planned Parenthood baby parts video scandal, major broadcast networks CBS and NBC ended their coverage blackout with full stories following the release of a fourth horrifying video from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) while fellow network ABC and Spanish-language networks Telemundo and Univision ignored it. 

However, the stories on the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News were anything but impressive as the duo largely played defense for the abortion providers in bemoaning the defunding “attack in Congress” on Planned Parenthood with CMP having “inflam[ed] a controversy over how Planned Parenthood donates fetal tissue for medical research.”
