Blackout: 141 Days Since ABC's 'Nightline' Has Covered ObamaCare, Instead Hypes Tabloid Topics

[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] As of April 3, 2014, it's now been 141 days since the once-vaunted Nightline has covered ObamaCare or any of the problems associated with it. Instead, the ABC News program has mostly avoided hard news, instead focusing on tabloid-heavy topics such as a city in Brazil that has become known as the "model factory" and a modern gold rush. On Monday, the open enrollment for ObamaCare ended, the website had more problems and the administration announced seven million sign-ups. Rather then discuss this or question how many of those previously had health care and lost it, Nightline skipped these stories. It was way back on November 14, 2013 that journalists on the show covered ObamaCare. Twenty weeks of silence followed.
