ABC Hits Trump From the Left: His Paid Leave Plan Not Liberal Enough

[See NewsBusters for more.] The three networks generally don’t hold back in slamming Donald Trump, highlighting his controversies and scandals. But when the liberal candidate offers up policy prescriptions that echo theirs, ABC, CBS and NBC are silent. On Wednesday, none of the networks offered any conservative critiques on Trump’s new federally mandated maternity leave plan. In fact, ABC hit the businessman from the left, worrying it didn’t go far enough. Good Morning America co-host Amy Robach talked to Ivanka Trump and explained that the center of the plan is “six weeks guaranteed paid maternity leave for mothers across the U.S. workforce.” Robach wondered, “Did it take any convincing?” She then complained, “The Clinton campaign quick to pounce on it, saying that it wasn't good enough. Saying that why only deal with maternity leave? Why not also deal with paternity leave. Why did you not include fathers in the plan?”
