It has been four days since a deranged leftist tried to kill six Trump supporters at a voter registration event in Duval Country, Florida on Saturday with a van. In that time frame, the story had only generated a measly one minute and four seconds of airtime between three brief mentions on liberal news outlets, NBC and CNN. That’s despite the fact that the attacker had admitted to authorities that his actions were motivated by his hatred of President Trump.
As NewsBusters reported on Sunday, between the evening and morning newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC, immediately following the attack, only NBC thought the attack was noteworthy but only gave the story 25 seconds. Since then, NBC has not updated the story nor have their broadcast competitors decide to give it airtime.

The first time when CNN analyst Sarah Isgur, a former Trump DOJ spokesperson, brought it up on Sunday’s Reliable Sources while discussing liberal reactions to Rush Limbaugh at the State of the Union. That instance lasted 23 seconds. CNN finally addressed the story in the form of a report on Monday. But they hid it in a news brief toward the end of their 5:00 a.m. show, Early Start. It lasted just 16 seconds.
MSNBC hasn't touched the story.
