While the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all miraculously acknowledged on Friday evening the House’s passage of a bill defunding Planned Parenthood, ABC and NBC provided no context in mentioning the horrifying videos released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) that exposed allegedly gruesome practices by the abortion provider. 

All told, the networks combined for two-minutes-and-57 seconds of coverage on the House bill, but it should be noted that two minutes and 18 seconds of that total came from the CBS Evening News (which was the lone network to air a full story on the matter).
