ABC, NBC Hype GOP ‘Civil War,’ Ignoring Mass Democratic Firings

[See NewsBusters for more.] For the second day in a row, NBC on Wednesday ignored the high level firings at the Democratic National Committee. Politico saw it as “heads roll at the DNC.” Yet, the four hour-long Today show found no time for the story. Instead, reporter Hallie Jackson trumpeted a “civil war” within the Republican Party. Jackson played clips of Barack Obama and Donald Trump attacking each other and then chided, “That back and forth coming as the GOP civil war seems to be back, too. Paul Ryan's office saying he never asked for Donald Trump's endorsement.”
