Tuesday’s editions of ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News aired nowhere near the exhaustive coverage of President Obama’s executive actions on gun control that the CBS Evening News did, but they were not short on fawning language for Obama’s “rallying cry...after years of anger and frustration” in what ABC hyped as “[t]he showdown after the President breaks down.”

World News Tonight anchor David Muir made the aforementioned pronouncement on the “showdown” and explained that Obama “beg[an] to cry with victims families standing beside him” as “the opposition” was “swift and sweeping.”
